October 2008 Finds.

My teacher told me it's either we play DDR, or the state says we do actual dancing.

Isn't that unconstitutional?

[Hitman Tyler]

Isn't that unconstitutional?

how?? in other schools they do actual dancing... Since my school has lots $$$ we can afford DDR.

[walrusmonger]

My cousins go to a school system in Jersey and it seems like the type of schools you see in the movies/tv shows. Lots of programs, beautiful buildings, very competitive. It makes me wonder how I would have turned out if I didn't go to the sorely underfunded and overcrowded NYC public school system for all those years.

[Therealqtip]

Yes, I have DDR at school... I swear my school is rich.. We have 8 HDTV, we play on. The funny thing is though, we play on the OG X-box...
Once a year we have a video game tournament... No, not DDR, but the latest Maddden.

My teacher told me it's either we play DDR, or the state says we do actual dancing.

Then again, maybe I should start a Thread about this....
See how many people wished this was their High School...

Pretty sure alot of highschools are like that, my grade school had DDR also. My high school has an HDTV in each class so yea >.>

Nice loot today of a yard:


Paid 30R$, the prince of persia was free.
The 32X has no cords but the seller tested it with a multi AC adapter, tough i did not had enough money to pull Star Wars from 32x.

... Phys Ed is unconstitutional now? And people wonder why Americans are so fat. :P

The 1 2 P - I've always been curious about the MK Mythologies games. I played a bit of Sub Zero a while ago and it seemed decent.

Neverwinter Nights Platinum (Complete ?) - $1

Saw this without a price and offered a buck for it. I don't know what all it came with but it had all 4 disks and came with a manual so it's complete if it didn't come with any extra maps etc.

Platinum GameBoy Advance With Charger


Harry Potter And The Chamber of Secrets (GBC)
Incredibles, The (GBA)
Pokemon Special Pikachu Edition (GB)
Powder Puff Girls: Battle Him, The (GBC)
Spongebob Squarepants: Legend of The Lost Spatula (GBC)
Top Gear Pocket (GBC)

$8

Found this at the second sale I went to today that I got to at about 8:15 that wasen't gone by that time even with all of this in a bag marked $8. I didn't even bother haggling down since it had somebody's initial by the price. I didn't think it would be good yetiquette either to try and offer less to the two nice old ladies running the sale seeing as $8 was good already. They also had some PS2 games each marked $4 that I passed on only one I would have grabbed if I didn't already own it was a greatest hits copy of Star Ocean: Till the End of Time.

Saturdays seem less competitive in my area this year and I've even seen some Saturday sales that seem about dead shortly after 8 this year even when it was nice out not just today late in the Yardsaling season. I would think that I'd have a much better chance of missing something like this GBA with games cheap if it was at a Friday sale. A good chunk of the yardsalers around here must go out Friday only with the way gas prices are.

I passed on some PS2 games at a sale that I heard the lady say were a buck each to somebody else. They had about 10 games but nothing I'd ever really get around to playing and had little to no interest in so I didn't grab any even if a buck is about as cheap as PS2 games get.

I went to 9 sales and 3 out of the 9 of them had steering wheel controllers which is definately one of the biggest video game drecks that people having a yardsale put out that sits around and don't sell. Reminded me of an episode of Married with Children I was watching yesterday were Al said that people only sell junk at yardsales

[Jimmy Yakapucci]

Stopped at a flea market today and picked up a few games. I got these PS1 games:

Puzznic
Spin Jam
Chessmaster 3-D
Vigilante 8:Second Offense

All were complete for $1 each. At another booth, I passed up some XBox and PS2 sports games that they had for less than $1 each. I went to another flea market where an older guy had 3 Genesis games for a total of 25 cents. The games were Barkley, Shut up and Jam 1 + 2, and Jammit. I passed these by because I couldn't justify spending a quarter on them.

It was supposed to be a joke about the state making them dance. It was early in the morning when I was reading the DDR post. Sorry, I forgot you guys have no sense of humor in the Finds thread.

Anyway, I picked up the Atari Jaguar lot today from the guy on Craigslist who wanted $45 that I had posted in my query post earlier. I was able to get him down to $40 for it thanks to a suggestion from fellow DP member 1 2 P.

Jaguar system (loose) with 2 controllers and cords
Alien vs. Predator (complete)
Cybermorph (loose)
Flashback (complete)
NBA Jam (complete)
Raiden (complete)

The system is a bit dusty and will require some cleaning before I try it out, but the games, boxes and instructions were pristine.

Yard sales were garbage today, so I went back to my storage unit to continue to empty it out. It's not a find really since I already own this stuff, but I did locate a box that had a bunch of my sealed domestic and Japanese DS and GBA games in it. I'd forgotten that I bought the Japanese versions of Metal Saga, Xenosaga I & II and Yu Yu Hakusho for DS last spring...time to find an online FAQ to translate.

[saferkefka]

this is my first decent score in years. got all of this on craigslist for 30 bucks..it had been sitting on there for almost a week. i more then likely could have got it for less, but hey it was worth it.

[Porksta]

My finds today:

Golden Sun with map and manual (GBA)
Zelda Four Swords (GBA)
Super Mario Wold 2 with map and manual (GBA)
Mega Man Legends w/ no manual (PSX)
Korn - Untitled (CD)
Date Movie Unrated (DVD)
Halo 2 strategy guide

Some guy donated the guide, XBOX Live paperwork, and an XBOX 360 video cable, but no 360. I was so sad

In the mail:

[UK Collector]

I picked up Samba for Wii today. The controls do seem out, but I hear they get better. Oh well. I will figure it out.

yea nice Nesquik find, oh the ps1..

[Tupin]

Is that the PS1 that's worth a huge amount of money because it has AV outs?

holy crap i hope so cause i bought one at goodwill just like that for 10 dollars... with the box...(box is not in best condition but still standing)

[saferkefka]

they're not worth much more then a normal ps1. maybe 5-10 bucks more.

Look on the bottom and see if the model number is SCPH-1001.

If so, you have something equivalent to a $6000 CD player.
