February 2008 Finds

[namzep]

I picked up Sonic the Hedgehog (PS3) at Walmart for $19.99.

[TheDomesticInstitution]

I'm probably at least a runner up for find-of-the-month... Top Gun (NES) 1.99 or 2.12 with tax @ Goodwill! I also found a 6 pack of Sam Adams Cherry Wheat for 8.99 at a liquor store. Any idea on how much this six-pack is really worth, as I can't find it in the online rarity guide?

[PentiumMMX]

Those controllers have pee-pees! (Sorry, couldn't resist)

Anyway, here's my latest finds:

- 2 NES Game sleeves (One 3rd Party, One Nintendo stamped): $.20
- RCA RF Modulator: $2
- Zelda: Phantom Hourglass DS Stylus & skin set (Opened but complete): $2

Not many big finds yet...

Oh God, that cherry wheat is some of the most vile stuff ever. I've had contaminated beer that tastes better. I think that may be my least favorite beer that I've ever had.

Finds for me today:
GB Quarth 5.80 (ouch, but I've been curious about it)
SMB All-Stars 1.60
SNES controller 2.60

Another man's vile poison is another man's piss of the gods. Ever tried Red Bach? It's a cherry flavored beer, but entirely different- that is if you like cherry flavored stuff.

Wait. This is a finds thread isn't it... I also found some Genesis sports games, but I didn't buy them.

I found a copy of In The Groove for the PC today. Five bucks. o_O

[nintendan]

Got these today:

Gameboy Color (Clear Purple edition) $9.99 at value Village. Inside the Gameboy was a red Pokemon cart!! (sweet!!).

Also... inside the back battery cover was a small handwritten note: "Dont Mix Batteries" lol. Too funy!!

Official Microsoft Xbox S-Controller, $3.99 at Value Village.

Pokemon Trading Crad Game Fossil Expansion Player's Guide, $1.99 at Value Village.

The Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass Prima Strategy Guide (Premiere Edition). $19.99 at Wal-Mart. They are currently offering American prices on all books and mags at wallies.

Mad props to fellow DP'er and Metroplexer jeffg for helping me out today.

I've been wanting to start a complete NES games collection lately and he helped me get started. After a trade of some Saturn stuff for SMB and a few other games, he pointed me to a mom and pop video rental place where he had bagged a bunch of NES titles. I went there and got a bunch of complete NES games for $2 each. I feel like I've gotten a great start to my collection. Also got a few N64 games that are up for sale if anyone wants them:

[coreys429]

2 player Justifier for Lethal Enforcers this one is the pink model. $2

[Ryaan1234]

There weren't very many garage sales today. I got a Pokemon Stadium transfer pak for $0.25. meh....

[Steve W]

All I bought at the flea market today was an electronic board game, Mattel Electronics Dungeons and Dragons. I think all the pieces are there, the box is in good shape, and the battery door's missing (naturally). But hey, it only cost me a dollar.

Man, it seems that bootleg pirate iPods are getting popular at stalls out at my local flea market. They're almost as bad as Super Joy Famicom clones out there. Still, I'm kind of curious as to how good they are, and if the one that looks like it can also play games is in fact a Famiclone/MP3 player. That would be seriously cool.

No, haven't had the Red Beach. Fruit has no place in beer, at least in my experience. Now, a Lambic is an entirely different beast, and really hits the spot if you want something fruity. Kreik is the cherry lambic.

oh yeah, finds... whatd'ya know, I also found many Genesis sports games today, and likewise I didn't buy them. Also passed on John Elway and Jack Nichlaus for NES.

Pyramid Apricot Ale is where it's at. I can drink that stuff by the six pack. Of course, no one else I know can.

I just got in the Simpsons (PS3). I had alot of fun playing two player on it today (probably played 3 1/2 hours or so into it).
