February 2008 Finds

[Cornelius]

Couple things today. First, this came today, which with disc 1 that I found at SA a while back for a buck means I just need to track down a manual to have a nice complete game.

I also picked up an NES ac adapter and n64 blast corps at a thrift for about $5, and a copy of NOLF at the SA for $2, only the jewel case w/ manual and discs, no big box.

p.s. that PS3 controller works great, it just needed to be reset with the little button on the back!


Edit: Nice Vectrex find there Eric!!

[darkhades]

My finds over the last few days. A good lot of Nintendo games. Grand total $41. All the boxed stuff have the game carts, manuals, and other paper work.

My current odditiy is a Nylon Schott Perfecto 118 jacket. Said to be a Euro sample, further research indicates that this is a style that was produced in 1995. I will try to find more information if possible, but silver ballistic nylon motorcycle jackets don't pop up on ebay every day

What I really like is the leopard print you used for the background.

All I found today was Breakdown (XBOX) for 4.99 at Sears.

What would you have paid for this, given you were in the market for one? Its the 60gig. Picked it up off Craigslist, been waiting for a good deal to come along. Rainbow 6, madden, and Fight night will be for sale if anyone is interested. (The cats, obviously, are priceless, but were only interested in the deal, not actually a part of it).

Along these same lines what is a 80gb ps3, 2 sixaxis wireless controllers, and 7 games worth? The only thing I can gather from the description is this and the 7 games are not mentioned, only 3 are pictured.

Now time to turn up the heat in this thread for finds. Read it and weap guys but this is from a resale store in the wild.

[Kitsune Sniper]

I got Street Hoops (GH, PS2) mint from GameTZ. The price? Postage.

Now, does the game suck? Who knows, but it's a free game so who cares.

[cyberfluxor]

Since I never seem to find games worth putting here, I like to post whatever random crap I sometimes find.

If you have some spare time make a "this week I found" post, otherwise listing a couple of games isn't too little either.

Now time to turn up the heat in this thread for finds.

I'd say EricDeLee has most beat thus far with Polor Rescue and Poll Position boxed with overlays. Great find either way though, always interesting to see what pops up.

Today at a thrift store that I never go to:

Quickshot Python 2B joystick for SNES, 75 cents

And at my trusty Goodwill:

Mia Hamm Soccer 64, in box with instructions, 1.99

[RadiantSvgun]

In the mail

Vga Box for SNES, GC, N64
Generic Saturn and Psx light gun

total $18 shipped.

I got the vga box for my LCDTV, but the quality isn't that much different from S-video with the Snes. It could be the TV too, since it really doesn't like older game systems.

[thetoxicone]

A couple of goodwill finds

Boxed snes with smw and super mario all-star carts - $30 (I can usually turn around this same set-up for $50-$60), I plan on keeping the system box since I need one of those.

3 new Tancredo for President shirts - $1 each (I can't complain about 3 junk shirts that will be nice for whenever I need to do work around my place)

[BIGMIKE]

I spotted a mint/complete copy of Home Alone 2 for the Genesis at a Pawn shop I had never been in. It was only $8, which sounds good for an R5.

If I bought it, would I be able to get much for it on eBay?

Good day out at the flea market with the sellers in full swing this morning as the rains were going to move in during the afternoon. Cy didn't have anything at all so I moved along quickly through the first two rows until coming upon an Intellivision system with some boxed cartridges. I began looking at it when the guy I bought my Pole Position cabinet from came walking up and told me the seller wanted $20 for it. I looked it over, it was pretty dirty but in okay shape and although the games were commons they were mostly titles I didn't have. The seller said he had some joysticks and so forth in back so I said I'd pay him $20.00 which he agreed to. I boxed everything up and made my way to the back where he had a set of Atari 2600 paddles and a box of boxed Atari 2600 family Epyx 500XJ joysticks which he began pulling out as well. He just kept tossing them in, as well as a pair of classic Merlin electronic games (both with acid damage beyond repair so into the trash they went). On the way out of his space I found another 500XJ and he said to take it as well. The Intellivision system (not pictured, it's out in the shop) doesn't work, it has some output issues so I'm going to do a little work on it tonight but I'm starting to lean toward it being a lost cause.

The Epyx 500XJ controllers at totally virgin mint, even the loose ones. In all there are seven boxed and three loose. The boxed ones are 100% complete. The sticks are tight and loud, completely factory fresh. I'll be keeping a pair of the loose ones for myself but I will be selling the boxed ones in my Buying and Selling thread. If you're interested please PM me, the boxes have the usual shelf wear of something of this vintage but the joysticks are totally mint and unused. I'm going to quickly test each one tomorrow.

A couple $1.00 pickups from two different sellers. The Ocarina of Time cartridge was among a few loose N64 sports games at a seller that mainly has junk but on occasion the price is right - although I've gotten burned with nonworking stuff from him before, but never cartridges. As for the GBA SP charger, never know when you'll come across a loose GBA SP that needs one to complete it for resale or to retain.

N64 - The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
GBA - Gameboy Advance SP Charger



My used game buddy made good on his promise and brought out one of his 3DO cases. Lots of games and he said that someone had come through before me and bought a bunch of games - so he was very happy I asked him to bring the games out. No boxes but most of the jewel cases had the booklets and a few had booklets and inserts. Since my 3DO library is very lacking I picked up well known standard titles and a few other games I enjoy and know I will play. (I know I'm in the minority but I've always loved Quarantine) Disc condition is superb and there were a few Japanese titles as well. I'll probably pick up more next week weather permitting - I left behind copies of Slopestyle, Braindead 13, PaTaank, BC Racers, Gridders and Samurai Shodown (disc only) all of which I should have grabbed. He had a sealed Japanese copy of Stellar 7: Draxon's Revenge that I left, any demand / value for it? I ended up buying 11 games @ my usual price of $2.00 each = $22.00. He said he'd bring more out next week...

3DO - Alone in the Dark
3DO - Burning Soldier

I'd say EricDeLee has most beat thus far with Polor Rescue and Poll Position boxed with overlays. Great find either way though, always interesting to see what pops up.

What are those generally going for? I don't have the manuals.... just the box/Game/overlays.

I tried out Polar Rescue and it was pretty cool. The submarine 'bings' are pretty nice. Overall it has a great effect. Can't wait to dive into it a bit more.

I think the Star Castle is another good one. I just don't have a real gage for these type of games with boxes and overlays

I'm surprised, I thought I had cleaned out most of the shops in our state.

Eh, I guess I'll pass.....

What is the best place to find good used stuff here in Alabama?

[namzep]

My stuff from the last couple of days:









Most of the stuff came from deals I worked with fellow DPers bangotango and Vectorman0. NY Times Crosswords and Time Crisis 4 were from Amazon deal's of the day.

Off Cragslist for 30 bucks. Pretty sure one of the vcs is a heavy sixer, I'll have to lookup to be sure, I guess. I figured out of a lot like this there might be something a bit more interesting (only saw the pictures of all this in 2-3 boxes). The "Concert Hall IV" is kinda cool. And I won't scoff at an intellivoice module, but given there are about 60 games, I wouldn't have expected 6 of them to be combat and 5 to be missile command. 2 or 3, sure, but not that many.
