December 2008 Finds

[NipRing]

Sega Astro City, my first arcade cabinet! Finally, more candies in AL!

Your probably in the minority here with a candy (as am I), but i'll give your your props, Nice Astro dude!

A few Amazon packages, all games for the DS:

Rune Factory 2 (w/ Squirrel plush)
Master of the Monster Lair
Super Collapse 3

[Sudo]

Got my pre-ordered copy of Persona 4 with art book today from Amazon.

[Fuyukaze]

It snowed today. Hell finaly froze over.


Mail brought me the last of my Amazon order.

Got my P4 pre-order and 2 games as well.

Went to a new game store where I found something I never hoped. Everything in the two pictures was only $110! Never thought I'd get DW 2-4 complete for anything less then an arm or a leg.


It snowed today, I'm off for 2 days, I got a butt load of game? Yes, I'd say this was the best day all year. Posibly the best in the past 10 years.

Good lord, that's insane, all that stuff you got is worth much more than that! Good deal.

[jcalder8]

Great find!
Congrats, I'd love to pick those up for that price!

[DigitalSpace]

Today's finds:

NES:
The Jungle Book (cart only, R6) - $5
Dogbone controller (loose) - $5

PlayStation:
Critical Depth (complete) - $1

And the following are gifts for people who don't visit DP:

SNES:
Dino City (cart only, R6) - $2.50

Xbox 360:
Lost Planet (complete) - $5
Kameo: Elements of Power (complete, non-platinum hits) - $5

I would have kept Dino City for myself if I didn't already have it - imo, it's one of the most underrated platformers on the SNES. It was nice to get a couple hard to find NES items - Jungle Book is the third R6 in my NES collection (the other two are Qix and TMNT Tournament Fighters), and I've wanted an extra dogbone controller for a while.

just got from goodwill-

SNES w/ 2 controllers, ac, rf adapter, and super mario world - $24.99
Viva Pinata special edition sealed for 360 - $5.99

Total came to just under $30 with my club goodwill discount.

The sweet thing is that yesterday I sold a snes w/ 2 controllers and super mario world for $50.

I just got back from a new (well, somewhat new) Goodwill in my area after leaving a very craptastic Salvation Army.

Didn't think I'd find anything, but to my amazement, sitting right there at the checkout counter was a brand new (yes, brand new) Sega Saturn system. It had a complete World Series Baseball II taped to the box as well. Price: $29.99

This is the first real find (always find beat up Genesis consoles for that price) in a LONG time. I still can't believe it was brand new. Of course I cracked it open and hooked it up Smells new and works new of course. Too bad I only have the one game (and the included sampler). Not complaining tho!

That's sweet. It seems like whenever I find something like that at a goodwill they put a bunch of crappy packing tape all over it. I've found 2 boxed Jaguars, not new but with decent boxes taped to hell by local goodwills.

People are getting some nice finds.

I personally would've sold that saturn, and bought a boxed saturn and had some extra cash, but whatever.

Nah. It was fate to find this, and I like the Saturn. I got rid of mine some time ago and kind of regretted it. It was a gift from the Gods, and I cannot part with that!

Here is the picture of most of the Saturn games that I posted about a couple days ago. I forgot to put the Virtua Cop 1 in the picture. I also didn't take a picture of the hardware since it is still in the car and there is nothing special about it.

Hit up goodwill and it was a Sega day there I guess. I noticed a guy holding like 10 boxed Sega Games and I'm like "shit, I missed it" I check anyways and there was lots of games left...good games at that. I picked up...

Kid Chameleon complete - 2.50 (sega games are usually 4.99 but it was half off day)
Cool Spot Complete - 2.50
Desert Strike complete - 2.50
ecco the dolphin complete - 2.50
ecco the dolphin tides of time complete (manual has seen better days) 2.50

There was 2 Sega Genesis on the shelf...no model 1's just model 2's.

I also found a weird Sega VHS I never saw before. Its exclusively from Lunchables, but its a Sega game tips VHS, thought it was neat so picked it up for a dollar. Great shape too, usually the VHS tapes are all mangled.
