    Default June 2008 finds

    Well, I guess I will start out this month's find thread.

    Had a BIG score off of Craigslist today. I guess that has become the last place to get good deals these days. Basically, a Turbo Duo, Express + Tuner and 57 games, for the most part complete in jewel cases w/manuals (with a couple RARE titles, like Exile 2)! This guy lives about 10 minutes away from me. A HUGE Turbo Duo / Turbo Express lot. Here's the pic:



    TURBO DUO w/ all hookups, 2 pads, Duo tap (100% mint condition)
    TURBO EXPRESS (doesn't work, just a blank screen, maybe fixable?)
    TURBO EXPRESS TV TUNER

    CD GAMES:
    Gate of Thunder 3-in-1 (NICE)
    Exile 2: Wicked Phenomenon (VERY NICE)
    Lords of Thunder
    Loom
    Cosmic Fantasy 2
    Lords of the Rising Sun
    Exile
    Valis 2
    Y's Book I and II
    Fighting Street
    Monster Lair
    Magical Dinosaur Tour
    Sim Earth
    Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective

    HUCARDS (all in jewel w/manual unless noted):
    Sidearms (no manual)
    China Warrior (no manual)
    Timeball (loose)
    Blazing Lazers (loose)
    Keith Courage x2
    King of Casino
    Takin It To the Hoop
    Andre Panza Kick Boxing
    Bonk's Adventure
    Turrican
    Yo Bro
    Fantasy Zone
    Deep Blue
    Impossamole
    Military Madness
    Cratermaze
    Splatterhouse
    Alien Crush
    Devil's Crush
    Tiger Road
    TV Sports Football
    WOrld Class Baseball
    Ninja Spirit
    Night Creatures
    Davis Cup Tennis
    Cadash
    Ballistix
    Space Harrier
    Klax
    Boxy Boy
    Power Golf
    Neutopia
    Dungeon Explorer
    Vigilante
    Dragon Spirit
    Bomberman
    Pac Land
    Legendary Axe 2
    Final Lap Twin
    Cyber-Core
    TV Sports Basketball
    Tale Spin

    The condition of ALL of this stuff is impeccable. Somehow this Duo looks better than the brand new one I used to have years ago! If I can get that Express working, that would make my year as far as finds go... Gonna spend the rest of the day testing all these games, nice way to spend a Sunday!

    Price was $350 for the entire lot.

    I had some luck yesterday:



    Found these two. Unfortunately, Panzer Dragoon only had discs 1 and 4.


    1 and 4 only. I need to know where the best place is to get single discs for games like this.

    Also, Burning Rangers didn't have the game disc inside. But it did have this:


    SHINING FORCE 3!!

    Again, where can you find case-only and disc-only deals online? I found some Panzer Dragoon discs-only auctions on eBay for $100 Buy-It-Now. Ripoff!!

    Also got these SNES games:


    Act Raiser 2 & Harley's Humongous Adventure

    All told, I spent around $20.00 today ($6.00 each for the Saturn half-games and 8 for both SNES games

    Man, I must be behind the times. Is this a remake or a new game?
    And don't bring up that stupid girlie Aladdin rip off! Shantea?

    Honestly, I'm finding you are better off selling them piece by piece and just outright buying a complete copy. My example: I had a disc only set of GH FFVII that I sold separately. That netted me just over 70 bucks. Complete copies are in the 50-70 range. That's all eBay results, for the record. I've actually got a couple of complete FFVII copies I need to sell, and I'm thinking of parting them out, too.

    At an antique shop I found an NES system that looks super clean inside and out, I tink it was hardly used at all. It had tetris inside, and a controller, for 10 dollars.

    I haven't found anything this month so far. I might troll Gamestop tomorrow and see if they got any decent Gamecube games for the upcoming sale, but that's it.

    I don't have the details yet, but apparently my aunt's neighborhood was having a big, several-block garage sale, and she picked me up a Game Gear system and "a lot of games" for $5. She'll be dropping it off later this week. I'm hoping for a Mega Man or Shining Force in there...

    Picked up a Zelda: Phantom Hourglass DS protector/stylus combo at Walmart on closeout for $7. Kind of a neat little set, though I still haven't picked up Phantom Hourglass yet.

    Picked up Zelda: Phantom Hourglass for Gamecube for 8 bucks.

    oops: Meant Twilight Princess. Sorry I had just played Phantom Hourglass so its name was in my head.
