[The 1 2 P]

Two more penny strategy guides from Best Buy.

[DigitalSpace]

Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers The Movie Soundtrack (NEW) - $1 (Shut up, it has Oingo Boingo on it!)

It also has the Red Hot Chili Peppers' cover of Higher Ground (awesome), They Might Be Giants (that's cool), a Hagar-era Van Halen ballad (not bad), and... "The Alpha Song" (UGH!)

[NES_Rules]

Now I need a few PS1 dual jewelcases.

A few finds and I spent little to nothing on them.


-Texas Hold Em' Poker (complete) for Game Boy Advance: $2 at a local shop

-NBA 2K3 (disc only in excellent shape) for Xbox: free from the same shop, the owner gave it to me when I was buying Texas Hold Em', he doesn't take disc only games in trade but says the kid trading it in told him to just keep it, so he let me have it, I didn't mind because I don't currently own this and I got a free dvd case out of it (which the game in)

-NCAA Football 2004 (disc only in excellent shape) for Xbox: free, see the story above on NBA 2K3, same story and same place

-Tecmo Baseball (cart only) for NES: got it for free at the town dump (no kidding), at my local dump there is a big shelf where people can drop off unwanted items that can still be used like books and other stuff similar to what you'd find in a thrift store, someone can drop off their old junk on that shelf and other people can take it home for free, isn't the first time I've gotten gaming items that way either, have found PS1 stuff the same way a few times

Happy find last night - a nice and minty Game Boy Light for 1800 yen ($20)! I've been wanting one for a while, and this is a great price.

[NayusDante]

Game Boy Light? Now that's something cool that I've never seen before. Think you could post a shot of it playing something?

[Damaramu]

Great find Smork! Those Gameboy Lights are pretty nifty!

Picked up S.T.A.L.K.E.R clear sky and Fallout 3 Collector's Edition for half off at CC... figured I should get them before they were all gone lol

[Kuros]

Dreamcast w/ 2 controllers, hookups and 1 vmu - $10
Red N64 with power supply and Goldeneye - $20
Disney's Party - $5
Tomb Raider Last Revelation - $1
Skate or Die 2 Manual - $free

I paid a bit much for the N64 IMO, but I don't have a red console so I talked the guy down from $35. All I need now is the Gold and the Purple N64s and I'll have all of the colors! I have: Black, Orange, Blue, Green, Smoke, Pikachu and Red now.

The DC was simply a good deal and is gonna go on my tradelist, I have the DC from last week which will go up also, but I need an AV cable for that one.

Picked up Disney's Party and TBLR just because I didn't have them.

Arrived in the mail today:

GBA:
Final Fight One (cart only) - trade

And I got this at Target:

DS:
Barnyard Blast: Swine of the Night (new)
-free (would have cost me $10, but I used a gift card that I got for my birthday back in September)

[Deadman]

Todays finds at Half Price Books:

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Xbox) Konami - $5.98
Top Gun (NES) with manual - $2.98
Tunnel B1 (PS1) $2.98
World is Not Enough (PS1) $4.98
Inu-Yasha: A Feudal Fairy Tale (PS1) $7.98
Aladdin in Nasira's Revenge (PS1) $3.98
Incredible Hulk: The Pantheon saga (PS1) $3.98

All of this for just over $30 but I'm not sure if I'm keeping them or not. I like $1 and $2 finds, but $4, $5, $8 aren't that great of a deal in my mind.

At least it was something different.

[Sudo]

Not really a find, but I bought it earlier today.

[The 1 2 P]

Bullet Witch $4.97 at Sears.

[ncman071]

just got the saturn 3d controller in the mail... very good condition for about $10

[jcalder8]

I picked up Fracture(360) for $15 and DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 3(wii) for $10 but it's missing the manual so if anyone has an extra one I'm looking to buy.

Then I was walking through a mall today and I saw a sign that said "Anything on this table $5" The store looked interesting and I had some time to kill so I went in to check it out. There were a bunch of comic book figures and some Magic cards but then I saw some Eye of Judgment Series 2 starter decks. I looked around and there were a bunch more that had $2 price tags. So I grabbed 2 of each of those instead. Then I saw 5 unopened boxes of booster packs. I look them over for price tags and the only one that I find with a price tag says $110.

I put back half of the starter decks and take everything up to the till. I ask the guy if the boxes are really $5 each and he says that other people have been charging a buck a pack so that the boxes are actually $36 each but he just wants them gone so he says $7 a box.

In the end I bought 5 starter decks and 5 boxes for about 45 bucks. I'm really excited about this since a booster pack is normally 7 and I got 36 of them for that price. And now the picture:

[NayusDante]

I'd be extra careful with "cheap cards." That's where bootlegs come from. Even if they look legitimate, it never hurts to be careful.

Purchased at GameStop tonight:

DS:
Bangai-O Spirits (complete) - $12.99

[Kitsune Sniper]

International Track & Field (PS1, complete) - $1
Thomas Dolby - Astronauts & Heretics (CD) - $1
Starcraft (CD + key) - $1
Kunzel & The Cincinnati Pops Orchestra - Fantastic Journey - $2

The guy who had all those PS1 games I bought two weeks ago was back. He had no new games, but he still had Fear Effect 1 + 2. I almost bought them, but I held back. He no longer had Brave Fencer Musashi or that X-Com game, which sucks.

This may also be the last Wednesday flea market I go to... because I applied for a job yesterday morning, and if I do get it, I'll spend a month in training from 7 AM to 2 PM six days a week. Which means no more flea market. ;_;

Bought 31 IBM T42's from an auction. None have hard drives or adaptors but all tested good. Can't beat the price either... but I won't say. Let's just say it wasn't much... at all
