Picked up a 1000 series psp with a messed up joystick and no charger for 25 plus about 14 gas money. Next up I'm ordering the joystick and a psp lite umd drive from dealextreme to fix the one I got yesterday and the star wars psp I got around the beginning of the year for 20.
Not anything super exciting:
from Visc (DP member):
SimCity Societies guide
Super Mario Galaxy guide
from otoko (another DPer):
untested Ti-99/4a
and, I was out and about and remembered that Oklahoma has a Pac-Man scratch off card so I picked up one (and a pamphlet that explains the prizes) from a gas station.

In case anyone cares, the Saturn worked perfectly. I spent an hour last night playing Fighting Vipers and... um... Blazing Dragons.

I had that Transformer as a kid. Actually, I got what few of them my parents still had back a couple years ago, and so that one is down in the basement right now! (quoted image because we are on a new page.)
Heh, when I bought a Saturn lot several years ago I played and finished Blazing Dragons and Mega Man 8(?) before selling it all. One/some of the Monty Python crew wrote for Blazing Dragons, so I gave it a shot. Pretty funny, and worth playing, though I used a walkthrough for a lot of it.

Yesterday and today:
Stuff on the left was thrift finds yesterday, on the right garage sales today.
I'd sworn off N64 consoles (have 8 I think now), but it was 4.95 w/ the exp pack, so I took it. Pokemon games were 5.80 each, Poke pet thing was .80, and MGS VR was 3.80 in nice shape. 2 copies of Warcraft 1, and Warcraft 3 were all $5 each... stupid (smart?) goodwill prices nearly all discs at 4.99, so that's more than I'd normally pay, but still worth it I guess. They also had Warcraft 2 and Expansion, but passed on them.
Club House Games was $10. For some reason I thought this was worth more than its original retail price of $30 now, but guess I was thinking of something else? Maybe I'll be able to get my wife to play against me since we now have 2 copies.
Pikmin and MP4 were 5 each, Luigi was 4, Monkey Island Madness .5, and M&MVI was 1.00. M&M is actually in real shrinkwrap... it has a UPC, so must have been a re-release at some point.
This radio was too cool to pass up for .50:
Not really sure if I'm gonna keep it, but pretty neat. Anyone know anything about it or if it is worth more than the 0.50 I paid? It has the 'official Nintendo licensed product' seal of quality on the back fwiw.
I love Estarland
Where else can you trade in newer stuff from BB clearance, Blockbuster clearance and get something like the above.
Cost me:
Disney Sing IT PS3 (BB sale)
C&C Red Alert (BB Sale)
Opoona
Super Smash Brothers
Valkryia Chronicles
and Worms Blast GC
I am happy with the trade in, I just traded in some more stuff for CIB Lufia and Secret of Evermore which should be here tomorrow
So... My friend wanted to see Star Trek again, and he said to call him after I got off work. He didn't pick up, so I stop at that thrift that's close to work but far from where I live, figuring that I'll be down that way anyway for the movie. Anyway, he canceled (maybe tomorrow night) and I had a really good vinyl dig. Oh, and I got some games as well...
Vinyl... Click here to see titles.
Games:
Sega Genesis - Beavis and Butthead - $1.95
-Darn it, they wrote the price on the label. At least the label's black.
PC - $0.95 each, $5.70 total:
Privateer 2 - The Darkening (Deluxe Edition)
Warcraft I
Warcraft III
Quake (wanted this forever...)
Quake Mission Pack 1+2
Gabriel Knight I (I have the old release disc-only, forgot whether this was 1 or 2)
...and System Shock 2. I don't think they charged me for that one, since it's in a thin case. Then again, 14 records came to $14.95, when they're supposed to be under $1 each. Funny how that worked.
And lastly, one of those stereoscopic headsets. It's from 2002, requires an nVidia card and CRT monitor, and includes "15 games." Yeah, 15 crappy, demo-ish games designed by the manufacturer, no doubt. I haven't even opened it yet, but I'll be setting up my old CRT with my onboard GeForce 6100 or whatever it is. They had a whole Rubbermaid box of these things, and I doubt that they'll ever sell them all, even at $3.95 each.
I got these over the past week.
Anime Convention:
Japanese Chrono Trigger 10.00$
Japanese Super Famicom Fireemblem 15.00$
Goodwill:
Nintendo 64 Gameboy Transfer Pack .99$

Final Fantasy VII (GH + extra non GH first disk) 1.99$
Final Fantasy VII (extra second disk) 2.99$
Final Fantasy IX 2.99$
None of the Final Fantasies included instruction booklets.. but I wasn't about to care.
As for non gaming related I got myself a top hat at Acen~
15.00$
It was until it got the Touch G Reprint around Xmas time.
Because it makes no attempt to be great, it is therefore extremely great.
Some of My Game Collection Mah Mac n' Cheese Blog
No pics since I'm at work but a couple things from Goodwill at lunch today:
Naki G-PAK system carrying case, think it's for the fat PS2, 4.99
Nintendogs Chihuahua and Friends (DS, complete, Target return) 9.99
I hitched a ride with my Dad so I could go to my favorite out-of-town game shop. I picked up Inuyasha: The Secret of the Cursed Mask (PS2) for $20. The game appears to be fairly uncommon in my area. I've only seen 2 other copies over the past couple of years, one was a rental at Rogers Video, and the other was at EB Games before I had my PS2.
Anyway, I also moved my games onto the black media shelf I found on Saturday. It nice to finally have my collection organized!
I picked up Kickboxing for the playstation yesterday for 1.50 As it turns out it's an R5! but it's only worth $5
otoko - would you be interested in parting with that extra first disc for Final Fantasy VII?

Weird find at Goodwill yesterday. Just the foot pedals for Steel Battalion in perfect shape. Nothing else to be found. $2.99, so I snagged them for spares.

Make me an offer! I can pull the rest of my set out and test them out to make sure they work this weekend.

IIRC, the pedals are different for each version (blue/green). You know, if that matters to you.

I passed by the local Goodwill store today. They had FF7... and it was priced $60. Guess the employees check online prices for things they sell. It would explain why this place has some oddball high prices.
