They all have manuals. (MUSHA and Power Strike actually have 2) A few are a little beat up as some or all were former rentals. I needed several of these but some will be FT if you might need any PM me.

Small world I was actually going to throw a bid in on that auction if it was a bit cheaper as I have about a dozen of those games cart only and would like to get the Genesis guides someday since I used to have both of them back in the day

PM me an offer on some of them if you like. I have a spare Sword of Vermillion already. The PS II isn't for trade though.

[calgon]

at a pawn:

Zelda II : 4.00
Punch-Out!! (non MT-version): 4.00
Ninja Gaiden: 4.00

They also had the most genesis sports titles I've ever seen in one place. It was litterally shelves and shelves of nothing but maddens and nba lives.

Today's thrift finds:

PlayStation:
Omega Boost (complete) - $3

Donkey Kong Country: Exposed VHS tape - 99 cents

Despite not having the cardboard case or the pamphlet that came with it, the DKC tape is the find of the day. It was originally sent out to Nintendo Power subscribers. You can read about the tape and view the pamphlet here, and you can watch the tape here.

Hee hee hee.

Flea market finds:



$11. The Buckwheat Zydeco album is from Sunday. I got:

Deus Ex (PC) CIB - $2 (he wanted $5 but he lowered it to $2 'cause I bitched, heh :P)
The Knack - Serious Fun (CD)
Kit McClure Band - Some Like It Hot! (CD)
The Durutti Column - Domo Arigato (CD, FIRST PRESSING and OMFG so RARE and awesome!)
Trip On This Disc (PC) - a bunch of Virgin Interactive demos and gameplay trailers!
Five Launch CDs - I wasn't going to grab it... but then I saw the Radiohead guy on the front of one of 'em. I saw they had more trailers and reviews, which are perfect for Youtubing, so I got 'em.

I also got three Turbo Tap pads and a TG16 multitap thing at another booth.

After I left the flea market, I went to check up on my mail box and found TWO packages. Big ones, too. This first one is from GameTZ:


I think it was like $22 shipped. I was going to send Sonic Riders and X-Men Legends II to another user there, but the deal seems to have fallen through, so I'm stuck with 'em for the moment. Leisure Suit Larry is worth like $50 on eBay, but I promised myself I'd play it if I ever stumbled upon another copy, so... expect some horrible videos once I rebuild this system.

And the second one was one of DreamTR's infamous fifteen dollar boxes. I got a TON of stuff.


Dreamcast third party pad
Genesis three button turbo pad
Genesis three button turbo pad WITH two triggers that can be set to A, B or C!
Genesis controller extension cord
Gamecube controller extension cord


Spiderman 2 Pre-sale bonus Disc (new)
Men of Valor (XBox, sealed... kind of ironic, I bought the PC version last week!)
Robocop (XBox, sealed)
Forza Motorsport Demo, which also included an XBox Live Arcade CD inside
GTR 2 PR Version (with press release disc!)
The Getaway Black Monday demo disc (sealed)
God Of War: The Hydra Battle demo disc x3 (two sealed, one resealed with a Circuit City sticker)
EA Fight Night Round 2 demo, sealed
VR Virtua Racing (super scratched, the disc came loose and rattled around all the way here Ah well.


Dave Mirra BMX (Dreamcast, disc only)
NFL2K1 (NFR version, Dreamcast, disc only)
Little Red Hood (NES) manual
Lemmings PSP demo (sealed)
The Pinball Of The Dead (GBA, box and manual, no game, shame on you DreamTR, I was happy when I saw that and then I didn't find the game and was all sad. ;_; )
Three Dreamcast magazine demo discs
Game Boy Advance uh... fanny pack thing
Nintendo Gamecube-branded disc holder thing

Funny note 1:
I was afraid that Mexican customs would confiscate all the stuff I had on me because it looks to be worth more than $150, even if I only paid like $50 total. Hell, those XBox games would've gotten me a $10 import fee simply because they're new! I sighed with relief when I got away from those bastards.

Funny note 2:
Anyone want to donate an original XBox so I can play Robocop?

[DigitalSpace]

The Pinball Of The Dead (GBA, box and manual, no game)

If you can find a used copy at a GameStop, it'll set you back $2.99.

[thetoxicone]

God Of War: The Hydra Battle demo disc x3 (two sealed, one resealed with a Circuit City sticker)

No fair, I only got two of those god of war demo discs in my box of stuff.

Anyway I guess I'll try to list mine by memory.

Besides the God of War demos I got:

Backyard wrestling (xbox, new)
Terminator (xbox, new)
5 or 6 6-game ds cases with various mario pictures on the front of each
playstation fishing controller
sealed Ps2 or Ps1 controller (I didn't look too close to check yet)
gba rollcage
gba-sp system stickers
gba old style case
gameboy pocket - a little beat up and not tested yet
a couple getaway black monday stickers
gameboy wrist strap
2 third party n64 controllers (one missing analog stick)
accessory to make use your regular nes controllers wirelessly
some weird third party snes controller
and probably a few more things I'm not remembering while at work here.

sweet finds!!
I never find good stuff in the North NJ area goodwills, thrift shops, pawn shops

[EricDeLee]

I picked up 4 minty fresh factory sealed copies of the original version (not sure if they even made a greatest hits of this) of Dragon Warrior VII for PS1. All Factory sealed. With the clear hanging tags still entact... not even used to be honest. They are still flat on the back of the case.


Well... I've been eyeballing these games at a post exchange. They put them out a few months ago on the shelf with the origianl pricetag of $39.99. I've tried during numerous sales to see if they were any cheaper.... if I could get the price knocked down... etc... nothing.

I found them yesterday with 50% off stickers. Sweet stuff!

[Slate]

Crud. My most recent find should go in the Feburary section! A brand new NES Action set. $40.

[josekortez]

I got Ghost Squad and the Wii Zapper w/ Link's Crossbow new for $40 total at Circuit City.

And I pre-ordered Super Smash Bros. Brawl so I can get the free $10 gift card when I pick it up next week.

In your face, overly persistent Gamestop guy!!!

Picked up a GC Harvest Moon: Its a wonderful life from a local pawn. Sealed for $5.

No intention of playing it right off the bat, but something about the Harvest Moon series has always intrigued me

[jcalder8]

Picked up a loose copy of Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom today for about 6 bucks.

[DigitalSpace]

Got one thing today:

N64 controller (first party, green) - $2.99 at Goodwill

Works great. A friend of mine recently told me to keep an eye out for an N64 controller for him, so this will be going to him for what I paid.
