May 2008 Finds

[Kitsune Sniper]

Kitsune, excellent find with that sealed suikoden. Also, play secret of mana before you sell it, it's an epic game.

No need. I rented, played and beat Secret of Mana over ten years ago.

Not compared to some of the SNES rental store blowouts I've seen in the past.

I think mine was one of them:
35 or so Boxed and/or complete SNES games for $5 each about 15 months ago
Had Harvest Moon, Earthbound, both lufia's, breath of fires, all the square rpg's, ogre battle, all 3 Donkey Kongs, Contra III, Metal Warriors, and a bunch of others. Got to pick and choose from about 200 or so total ones.

Bought for $165 and sold for $1500 or so.

Then about 3 years ago 150 N64 games all in box about 1/2 complete for $1 each, that I sold for probably $1K

Picked up a nice Warcraft III Reign of Chaos collectors edition (CIB, yup everything) yesterday along with the Frozen Throne expansion. Cost $12 and the CD keys aren't in use so I've been playing WC3 for the second time since it was released (borrowed it from a friend for a few days to try it).

I thought today was going to suck... and it didn't.

Nominated for understatement of the year lol.

Great find man.

[Kuros]

I never go to the swap meet or garage sales with any expectation to find anything. Don't wanna disappoint myself by hyping myself up.

I don't either. It's just that when I found those items, I was already thinking "This is going to be a sucky day."

Nice pickup with MP3. I tried to find a copy but everywhere was sold out around me

FINALLY after 2 1/2 years of looking in the wild, I found a Valkyrie Profile PS1. It was at a classic game store out here in MA, and it cost me $80, AND it has no instructions, but I've always wanted to find it in the wild and $80 for that is well worth it to me for how long I've been searching.

At the same store I also found:

Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo Saturn for $25 (been searching a long time for this too)
Samurai Spirits RPG for Neo Geo CD $15

I spent a good amount, but I found games that were essential to have for my collection. I want that store to stay open as long as possible so I'm willing to pay the prices there rather than E-Bay.

Pawn shop:

- Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare (XBOX360) = $15.90

going to flip it at Gamestop and put it towards my MGS4 reserve to get 30% more trade-in credit....i'll get about $33 out of the CoD4.

[Kyle15]

I found a complete Genesis Menacer 6-in-1 cart for a $1.99 at the Salvation Army over the weeked.
(I would have posted earlier but I forgot. )

I received the Resident Evil Essentials pack (RE4, RE:CV-X, & RE:Outbreak) that I ordered from Walmart.com. I should have bought it a few months back when I saw it in person as I was unable to find it in stores after looking for a couple of weeks and had to settle for the online order.

[BydoEmpire]

Local ma & pa video store going out of business sale:

King of Kong DVD (like new) - $5

Genny games in box - $5/each:
General Chaos (no instructions)
Power Monger
Road Rash 2


Got a couple other DVDs, too, but this is the gaming-related stuff. Tempted to go back and pick up some more NES/SNES/Genny stuff...

[Swamperon]

After a tip from a friend, I went to a nearby charity shop and they had a number of games for sale, I picked up:

- Sonic Adventure (DC)
- Sonic Adventure 2 (DC)
- Quackshot (MD)
- Land Of illusion (GG)

All CIB, £1.99 each!

Also picked up a Dreamcast Keyboard for £3.

[coreys429]

At a garage sale today: N64 controller, 2 disk drives for a Commodore 64, A Commodore 64, Atari 2600 paddles, about 10 Atari 2600 Games ( common basic games ), about 10 records or so. $5

[TheDomesticInstitution]

Fatal Frame for XBOX- $10 @ Cash America Pawn. Also picked up a memory card for N64 for $3 @ Play N Trade. I was also gonna buy some NES sleeves there because I bought them a few weeks ago for .50 each. Today... well they had marked them up to 2.99 each. That's bullshit considering the clear plastic rental cases are still .50 cents. No Thanks.

[Mercapto]

Nothing fantastic, but for local standards pretty cheap :

N64 Cart+Manual (in plastic rental boxes, all PAL)
A Bug's Life
F-Zero X
Zelda OoT
DK64
F1 World GP
CyberTiger
Chameleon Twist
DKR
B-K
World Cup '98
Pokemon Stadium 2

N64 Boxed
Pokemon Stadium
Turok Rage Wars

An Atari Jaguar with one controller and the powersupply.
A big pile of common 2600 games.
Some Atari XE games.

The N64 stuff was for 60$
The Atari stuff 35$
Can't compete with your finds but I'm happy

[Cornelius]

NES games from last weekend at a garage sale in Green Bay along with 3 Genesis games ( McDonald's Treasure Land Adventure (r6), Shadow Dancer (both complete), and forgot the third (loose)). They were all marked $2 each, which totaled to $78 and I paid 65. A fair amount of junk in there, but some stuff I needed, too, like Snake Rattle and Roll, RoboCop 3, Shinobi, Captain Planet, and Back to the Future II&III. Sorry for the lousy pic.




This is stuff from today. NOLF (what a great game) was $5 at GW, Dark Forces was 4 at a thrift where I passed on a bunch of okay stuff (CTR, Tekken3, Tony Hawk, etc), and the GBASP w/ games was 45 from 50 (wouldn't take 40 ). DVD was a buck. Guess you can't read the games, they are: Castlevania Adventure, Pokemon Blue, R-Type DX, Final Fantasy Legend II, Drgnball Z legacy Goku, Pokemon FireRed, BeyBlade, SW Lego, SW Flight of the Falcon, Spider-Man, Sonic Advance, Super Dodgeball Advance, YuGiOh, quad desert fury, Final Fight One, Dragon Ball Z Taiketsu, Lego bionicle, and TMNT.

Hey guys,

Man it has been a while since I posted anything. WOOT to lurking!

Anyhow, would you guys say $500 is a good deal for 300 assorted PS1,PS2,XBOX,N64,Sega games? I know it is kind of ambiguous because I don't even know what the games all are yet (a ton of N64 and Sega would be great), but I am just asking in general???

The guy said he will send me a full list soon, supposedly they all have original paperwork and boxes.

I am just hoping for no sports games :/

Mike
