[Kitsune Sniper]

Man, I hate myself today.



Blockade Runner (INTV) was free with a bunch of Disney comics I found at a booth (they cost me five bucks). It's for trade!
Windows ME Upgrade CD was $3, it's going to eBay.
The three Genesis games were a buck each! That's Streets of Rage 2, Super Street Fighter II and Splatterhouse 3!

The sad part, though - the guy who had the Genesis games also had a bunch of PS1 games for five bucks a pop. He had a few decent ones but nothing that caught my attention... but he also told me he sold a PS1 system with a game included. The game? Parappa The Rapper. And I missed it because the guy sold it when I passed by his booth earlier in the day (I went to his booth before I left the flea market.)

*cries* I almost had a minty copy of Parappa! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaah...

Even though there were 3 church sales today, I didn't find much game stuff.

I was at a garage sale and I about had a heart attack when glanced down at a table and saw one of these sitting there(among new crap!!!). It was one of those "double-take" moments. (You know, look down, look up, and then quickly look back down in disbelief to think "Is that what I think it is???")

Mmmmm.... a nice minty Nintendo Bomb Sweeper Game & Watch. It cost me a whole $1

The results of a Friday and Saturday's worth of Goodwill, Rummages and Used Game Shops:



Nothing great, but with everything between .99 and 2.99, at least it was cheap.

I'd say that's lots of 'Great'!

My pickups mostly from today:


That ps3 box has one in it, and it came w/ component & HDMI cables, and the games/movie all for 250. Biggest worry is that the void sticker has been removed. The seller said his kids did it, and based on the swarm that was there while I was testing it out and my judge of the guy, I believe him. Works great so far after an hour of blu-ray watching and same amount of game play. I'll play some more to make sure, and then this will be for sale: I just wanted the Lego game.

Sega CD w/ model 1 genesis was 15 (no hookups ); tested it with SW Rebel Assault and works great, and once more I crashed that damn training shuttle for the millionth time. SNES a/c for .50, Win95 for .50, and Warcraft 3 was 3. Oh, and SM Galaxie pre-order coin was .25.

Yeah, are you kidding? Way to be modest, lots of awesome games there! I still remember playing Die Hard Trilogy as a kid =P

[jeffg]

Not a super deal but I traded for this at local game store, I traded the following:
Eye of Judgement for PS3
American Idol with mic for Xbox 360 (from target clearance)
Call of Duty 3 ps3
Tony Hawk for ps3

Those 4 games for these 2. Not a great deal but I will take it, new stuff I just won't play for some classics

Smash Bros. should be the most expensive game in the lot. One of the Mega Man games should be close, but last I checked MM4 (which I picked up at a flea a few months ago) wasn't worth all that much.

Apocalypse, Die Hard Trilogy, and the rest of the NES games are cheap.

Bimini Run...could never get over the graphics in that one...the Genesis games look like uncommon ones though, and in good shape, so I bet you're also doing much better than even there.

No bombs, so you can keep what you want and dump the rest.

I just sold a cart only Smash Bros for $14 after having it listed for just one day. The Mega Mans go for less than $10 each, but I've consistently gotten $20 for Tecmo Super Bowl and ~$15 for Tysons. The Zelda also probably pulls a decent amount, around $15 or so. Definitely some good finds in there as far as resell values go.

Thanks, but when I said "nothing great," I meant in comparison to some the amazing SegaCD and import Saturn stuff posted in this thread. I'm actually most pumped about Bimini Run though...been looking for a complete copy of that game for years, and this copy is mint!

That's a model 1 Sega CD. I think they are worth a bit more than the model 2 (side-by-side) if they work. That's the catch, though, they are more prone to failure and harder to repair. Still, they are just plain cool. While they will work with a model 2 genny, they look MUCH better with a model 1 on top. Great find!

p.s. I've no idea why it would be in a model 2 segaCD box. Just one of those things that happens. I'm sure someone will take the box off your hands if you don't want a mismatch.

That's funny because I thought it would be the other way around. IMO the model 1 looks way better than the side by side. Now to test it. Thanks for the info!!

I think I maybe wasn't very clear, or else I'm misunderstanding what you are saying here. Most people (myself and yourself included) consider the Model 1 Sega CD to look and 'be' cooler, and it is therefore worth a bit more. However, technically speaking it doesn't work quite as well as, and is more prone to failure than, the model 2 (side-by-side). You mentioned it had a model 2 Genesis on top of it, and while that will work, a model 1 genesis on top of a model 1 sega CD looks much nicer.

p.s. I'm editing my post above for clarity in case there is still confusion.

... So I'm weird because I think the Sega CD 1 looks like crap?

I prefer a Sega CD 2 next to a Genesis 1... >_>
