Why you gotta be like that?

[Cornelius]

The HELL?

Your Goodwill uses price stickers? The one I know of in my area writes price son with marker. AND their prices are MUCH higher than that!

All the ones in this area use the same stickers. blue, yellow, green, and red for stuff they get from Target (and never gets discounted). Wow, if they price NES games more than $5 I'd think there'd be stacks of them just sitting around. I pass on the majority of NES games I see there.

I forgot to mention in my finds post today that I got an SNES deck only for free! Seems the guy had 2 of them with full hookups, etc. Somebody bought one and took everything before the seller realized it.

Heimdall - Marked $10, complete, one broken cover tab
Sol-Feace - Marked $5, just the disc in the paper case
Batman Returns - Marked $3, disc only

PC:

He said 3 for $10


First, I picked up Sol-Feace and Batman, which would have been $8. Then, I ask if he still has any Atari stuff, and I go through the box. Since my 2600 shipped today, I wanted a variety of games to start with, so I asked if he'd cut me a deal on the box, and offered $10. He agreed for a moment, then tried to go for an even $20. I countered by asking about the PC game bin, and went $25. Finally, I give Heimdall another look, and walk out with everything for $30.

34 games for $30, comes out to $0.88/game.

Also, here's my console rack from the thrift the other day. I took the glass off so I could slide my desk chair in front of it and still be able to reach in to swap games. Controllers run around the back and over the side of the TV, and power cords are off to the right.

So my find today was very strange. I stopped at a guy that had a box of anime dvds. He asked if i liked anime he had some more in the back. So he goes back and brings out the box. Sitting on top of the box was Exodus Ultima 3 boxed. I opened it up it has the books and two maps but no CD. It has a 50 cent sticker on it. I ask him is that the price he says no. I really have no idea my self what it worth or even if anything is missing. He tells me he got it earlier today at a yard sale for that 50 cents, but he wants a dollar now. I glady except.

Its the IBM version but no discs. I dont know if i should just sell it as is or try to complete it. Any idea on rarity and value? Also does it normally come with 2 maps or is that an extra.

[Ed Oscuro]

What's the 80s / early 90s Nordic Track video game thing worth? Seems to have some kind of racing game onscreen. Unfortunately, I didn't take the time to note the actual name of the thing.

@ AZ Legend:
I found the exact same thing at a local thrift, although I'm not 100% sure it was the IBM version (it should be though).

Is the map cloth? I forget, but I know something that comes with the pack is cloth.

I checked out the price of my own Exodus 3, it wasn't worth much.

[DigitalSpace]

Went thrifting with a friend yesterday afternoon. Here's what I got:

PlayStation:
Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back (complete, GH)
Tiny Toon Adventures: Plucky's Big Adventure (complete)

Dreamcast:
Rayman 2: The Great Escape (complete)

$11 total.
