June 2009 Finds

[DigitalSpace]

Here's what I got this evening:

SNES:
Aerobiz Supersonic (cart only) - $1

PS2:
Ford Racing Off-Road (new) - $5

Aerobiz is obviously the score of the day here (although Ford Racing Off Road puts me at 50 PS2 racing titles). The cart is in pretty good shape aside from a few Hastings rental stickers. There's no Hastings around here (and tmk, there never was), and whenever I see a cart with rental stickers from an out of state store that isn't in SW Washington, I figure one of the previous owners acquired it online or just took it with them whenever they moved from the area the store was in. However, I always wonder for a moment if there's a more interesting story there that I will never know about.

Regarding the 5200 talk, the last time I saw one at a thrift, there were no games to be found. And whenever I see 5200 games in the wild, there's no system. Go figure.

I won a boxed Atari 7800 with 13 loose games yesterday on ebay for $21. Would have gone for a lot more I think, but the $50 shipping probably scared people away. Luckily, I live in the same city so shipping doesn't count.

$3 Super Mario Kart (Million Seller)

Went to three different ones and had a few good finds at the first two. Also, met up with a guy from Craigslist and purchased an Intellivision.







I found the Sega Saturn for $10 (came with all cords and controllers and had a game in it, tested and working) and Star Trek for the NES for $2 at the first Good Will. At the second one I got Killer Instinct SNES for $2, Rainbow 6 and Nightmare Creatures II for the Dreamcast at $2 each and NES Play Action Football and Win, Lose or Draw CIB for the NES at $1 each. Also grabbed E.T., Christmas Vacation, Dawn of the Dead and The Wizard for my VHS collection at $1 a piece.

Met up with a really nice dude at his comic shop who has been collecting games for years (he has a GIANT collection) and bought an Intellivision III with a bunch of games for $30 total.

Headed to Savers now...

I found the Sega Saturn for $10 (came with all cords and controllers and had a game in it, tested and working)

Thats a great find. Sega Saturns are pretty hard to find let alone for that price. Cheapest I have ever seen around here was 40 bucks.

Loose Atari 7800 w/ 2 joysticks, paddles, cords, and 6-7 common 2600 games plus Ms. Pac Man and Pole Position II for the 7800 - $4 (It doesn't seem to be working at the moment, I'll have to open it up and take a look).

First sale I went to on Friday as it advertised video games. I got to the sale late (probably about 8:20) and I saw some newer stuff PS2/Xbox/PC games and a PSone system at $5 that a younger kid was looking at when I got to the sale and bought. I'm sure this was mostly why video games were advertised but I saw the 2600 box right in front of a different table and offered $5 for it.



Green Gameboy System $1

The girl at this sale said she wasen't even sure if it worked and said I could have it for a buck instead of the $2 it was marked.



Animal Crossing (Complete, PC, No Memory Card)
Super Mario Sunshine (Complete, PC)
Kirby Air Ride (PC, No Game Disc)

$5

Same house I got Pikmin & Paper Mario: TTYD at last year. Each game was marked $3, took $5 for both and let me have Kirby since they couldn't find the game disc inside after checking the system. I got an orphan Kirby Air Ride from Hollywood Video so this was nice to find



Spyro The Dragon (Complete)
Tekken 3 (Complete)

1.50

IAP for both of these as they were marked .75 each.



x2 1st Party Dreamcast Controllers Each With A VMU
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX

$3

Dreamcast Controllers were each marked $1 along with a generic one I passed on. They had a Gameboy Color (2 Color system yellow and something else) in carrying case with a link cable, some Taz Mania GB game, Mickey Mouse: Magic Wands! I think & Zelda all marked $10. I offered $5 for it and the DC controllers to which the lady said she had to ask a guy (who was busy cooking hot dogs on the grill) when she told him my offer he just said "no" and turned right back around to what he was doing lol I told the lady I was just mostly interested in Zelda and couldn't warrent paying that so she offered what I got for $3 (she must have been his wife).

NES 1st Party Controller

$2

Everything I'm posting this week, I'm posting in the order I found it and by the time I found this stuff it was about noon. I saw a box with some kids books and this video game stuff. I offered $2 for the box minus the books. This is probably the worst spread of NES games I've ever seen lol



PSone, A/V Cords, Power Plug, 1st Party Controller, Generic Memory Card & Disc Only Die Hard Trilogy - $2 (IAP)



V-Tennis (Complete) - .25

Saw this with no price, beside it was a box of CDs for .25 each or 5 for a dollar. I picked out 3 CDs and got them with V-Tennis for a buck. I shouldn't have bothered picking this up but I'm a sucker for long cases and it's in perfect shape.



Game Gear With NBA Jam, Coplifter III & A Random AC Adaptor - $3

This was the only thing I picked up today (Saturday) With it raining off and on this morning & afternoon. I stopped by a few sales in town that are addresses I've never been to shortly after 11 this morning when the rain let up some. Marked $5, system wasen't working so I offered $2 which was countered with $3 which was good enough for me as I don't have Coplifter III.

(Almost) Non Find BS

I went to about 60 (largely in part thanks to two decent sized street sales) yardsales this weekend and was out Friday for almost 5 hours total. I also forgot to mention I got The Sims on PC for .25 IAP at a sale which I already gave to my niece and didn't take a picture of.

[Porksta]

Not much here, I did pick up a complete Double Dragon Arcade Blockbusters edition and a cart only Final Fantasy.

[megasdkirby]

Got these yesterday...or the day before...can't remember...my brain is all fuzzy.

[ErmangelnSeelen]

$12 PS2 Network Adapter
$3 Namco Fighting Joystick, with some crappy RF adapter and a "negcon" controller tangled in with it
$5 Boomer's Adventure in Asmik World

yeah, $5 for that lol. It looked obscure as all hell, so I just grabbed it. As I understand it's dirt cheap rofl

[Jimmy Yakapucci]

Grabbed a few things at the flea market today:



The first thing I grabbed was the Chrono Cross 'music selection' disc. Unfortunately there is damage to the front of the case, but the disc is beautiful. Then I picked up the Soul Reaver music disc which is still sealed, the Street Fighter III, Double Impact and the Lunar preorder puppet for a grand total of $9. The puppet is also sealed, but unfortunately the box has some damage. Still not a bad day.

[Malon_Forever]

Chrono Cross 'music selection.

Jealous.

[darkslime]

The Calexico Wal-Mart is awful about clearance games. Sure, they have Singstar Amped for $6. But then they have Fallout 3 Collector's Edition for the 360 and PS3 for $75 in the clearance area. Buh?

Can't be as bad as the Tucson Wal-Mart, which still has Madden 05 and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, both for the PS1, for the low price of $29.88 each!

[Tupin]

Holy crap, Madden 2005 on the PS1?

The Wal-Mart near me used to have a few brand new Resident Evil 3s for like $15.
