Midweek finds - April 14 to 18
Got Conker's Bad Fur Day (N64) today for $24.95 AUS brand new. It was on a throw out table and I thought I'd grab it. I think it's a bargain considering the game went for about $120 AUS when released in 2001.
Plus it's also nice to get a brand new game after so long. I'd forgotten what it's like! The box, the manual, the related paraphernalia and best of all - no cleaning!
Got Turnabout, and Rush 2049 on the DC, for under 20 dollars.
I am in fact the guy that made the Raisins prototype worth thousands less by dumping it. "D'oh!!"
Absolutely Nothiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!!!1
picked up three genny games today
Toki-with box- feels like a Contra with an ape
Bill Walsh College Football 95- very very mint, complete
Tazmania-with box

You guys all suck.The salvation army around here never has a damn thing.
Are you talking about the Salvation Army on Euclid Ave. near E.55? It's like I was saying in the other thread. Cleveland seems to be mostly BONE DRY. I just gotta get more persistent, I guess.Originally Posted by WiseSalesman

Actually, I'm talking about the one in strongsville on pearl, and I might as well be toalking about the goodwill on w. bagley in berea too. I've never seen a single game at either of them.
Man, I can't wait for garage sale season.....and I gotta find some flea markets too....
I must brag a bit of an unearthly find here in KY. I found a box of 3DO and Intellivision games in the back of an antique store, underneath some quilts my mom was looking at. Nothing rare as far as Intv. games go, but I did manage to snag Vol. 1-3 of the 3DO Woody Woodpecker series and a few of the Vivid adult titles...all for $10, including the Intv. stuff. This never happens to me, and probably never will again. My 15 minutes of fame are shot. The lady that sold the stuff to me said she couldn't give it away for years and finally just stuffed it under some junk and forgot about it.
All right youngens, bath time. Cover up your eyes and drop your britches! Who wants wax?
I sometimes do some thrifting in Cleveland and usually find overpriced common NES games. What was your guys best thrift store find in and around Cleveland? I found a 3D0 flight stick for $1. They probably thought it was a computer joystick. Anything marked Atari or Nintendo is way overpriced.

ps. Do you guys have a secret spot? hehe
Today,
I picked up a Sega Game Gear carrying case for $3.50, and AvP for the Jaguar for $7Not a bad little find.

@wizdawg: I've never found a single damn thing in the cleveland area at any of the thrifts I've visited.
You guys are doing all right. The best way to do it is to stay persistant. I work odd hours and don't get much time to get out. The other day at the Music "Ripoff" Recyclery in Gurnee Mills mall I found Pooyan, Shark Attack, and Trick Shot for a buck each and Magic Carpet for the PSX for $7. Not great but good stuff for cheap.
If they made a movie out of your top five worst sins, what would it be rated?
