    Went to Tacoma for a video game trade. Traded my xbox with halo and various other common games for a N64 with both Jumper and expansion pak, No Mercy, Perfect Dark, Gex, Super Smash Bros. in box, and then the loose games Super Mario Kart 64, DK 64, Mario Party 3, Super Mario 64. Also Body Harvest at a swap meet for $3, $2 for Mortal Kombat 2 for Game Gear, and also 4 boxes of Records for $30.

    This isn't exactly the best find ever, but a friend bought a toaster NES from a pawn shop and paid $15 for it. Well the dumbass at the shop left a copy of Ducktales inside of it, Score!

    As for me The Island, Land of the Dead, and The Crow UMD's from a friend for $10.
    Also at the local game shop 1985 version of Appleseed (DVD) $2, Yoshi Story (64) $7, and Crazy Taxi (DC) CIB $3

    Inside the 4 boxes: Edison Records from the early 1920s, Seattle Punk and Grunge 45s, and a good stack of Sinatra. Plus my friend informed me that my Dreamcast works.

    I won't have a lot of finds this month, or next.

    The DDR bundle was $20 at Wal-mart, its going to be a gift for a friend.

    The Wavebird was $10 at a pawn shop. They had a wireless 360 controller there for 10, I might go back for that.

    When did Wavebirds disappear from the face of the earth? I haven't seen them in gamestops for about a year.

    It's probably because of the increasing amount of Wii games that support the Gamecube controller (Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Mario Kart Wii, among others), so Wavebirds are are in high demand at the moment. I got lucky a few months back and got a new Wavebird as an early birthday gift.

    I only found this stuff today.



    The Diablo set and the Smurf were $3. I went back to the same booth later and picked up the Genesis 1 for $3 too - it's weird, it has the EXT port and a Channel 3/4 switch. I had no idea Genesis systems came with that switch!

    There was one booth which had a ton of SNES games, but some crazy lady wouldn't let them go. I hope they'll be there tomorrow morning.

    Funny story actually - today was my second day of working at my local thrift store. So I'm in the back pricing handbags and shoes and whatnot when this lady catches my eye. I see her looking at some CDs in white sleeves and a manual and then chucking them. I walked over next to her and grabbed the discs from the trash. She told me that they do this all the time, I suppose they don't like loose multi disc games. So I let her know that if she comes across any more, to let me know. Hey, it may be some crappy PC game, but free is free.

    congrats, thats the slightly rarer first verison of the genesis (release system) without the extra lockout crap. Its somewhoat more desirable then the billiions of other genesis systems out there (you can tell by the high defination graphics band on the top)

    its also the one that is the most effective with the age old "pull out" trick.

    Ah man, that's the only thing I wanted out of that stupid sale.

    Too bad I can't go to Gameslop that late. I really wanted it.

    Not entirely true. This is borrowed from another thread:

    One of our forum's prestigeous game resellers, goatdan, seems to have "cracked the code" on how to determine if a Genesis Model 1 has the copyright screen at power up. It has nothing to do with the looks, what ports it has or even serial numbers.

    It's the FCC ID code that gets placed on all electronic devices. Who woulda thunk it?


    On the underside of the Genesis you should see a label that has "FCC" on it. The following are the two types of IDs that are on the Model 1's:

    FJ846EUSASEGA: a system that has this ID does NOT have the copyright screen.
    FJ8USASEGA: a system that has this ID DOES HAVE the copyright screen.


    Here is the link for the whole thread.

    Last week I saw an ad for a garage sale with an NES, SNES, and N64 each with games for this past Saturday. I made sure to be there before they said they would open, which I hate doing, but seems to be necessary. I was surprised I didn't have to beat anyone back from them. Turned out there weren't any very special games or very many, but I got them all for 50 bucks, so still pretty good.

    Today, though, I think I did a bit better, at least as far as my collection/playing goes. Another Craigslist ad with a bunch of miscellany and some game systems. When he emailed back with the game lists, it was 80 for the SNES+games (super metroid and Alladin are the hard to see ones) and 80 for the PS1 w/ games. I asked if he really had to sell the PS1 (he'd mentioned more PS1 games that he couldn't find) figuring to catch a break. I only had $120 on me at the time, so he took that for everything. Not the greatest deal ever, but I've been after ChronoTrigger for some time, and it will be pretty much free after I sell what I don't need. He was a really nice guy, and knew it was a good deal for me. He even pointed out the price sticker on CT, which was what he paid at a pawn shop. He had a nice PS2 lot for sale as well, so I might email back about that once my wallet recovers a little. (sorry for the novella)
