August 2009 Finds

[Sonicwolf]

Found an Amiga 500 with 2 mice, external disk drive and power supply for about 25 bucks total at a thrift store. Cant visually test without Amiga video cable though. I will post some pics later.

[Steve W]

I did the rounds today, and found a boxed and virtually unused Bandai Pair Match for $4.99, a boxed Radio Shack Sonar Sea Battle (missing the pegs and with severe battery corrosion) for $4.29, a loose Bubble & Squeak for the Genesis for $1.99, and a boxed NES Advantage for $4.99.



You might recognize the Pair Match tabletop game. They were used as props in Ten-Forward on Star Trek: The Next Generation because they looked so cool and futuristic.

I scored a couple more N-Gage Review Kits.

Pathway to Glory: Isuka Island gold review kit
Pathway to glory review kit (just the nfr game and case)

I picked up a couple of complete PS1 games at Value Village yesterday:

Hot Shots Golf - $2.99

Hot Shots Golf Round 2 - $2.99

Grand Theft Auto 2 - $4.99

Now I just have find time to test them. I keep getting sidetracked by other games that I've left half finished. Last night, it was Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.

[Dreadstar]

Just picked up a loose original NES controller and a disc-only copy of Shogo (PC) for a buck each at a thrift.

Friday:

I found a kinda beat up silver Gameboy SP for $4.

That's all.

I went to the flea market expecting to find nothing... I bought some sort of Diablo level editing / anti hacking (?!) CD with tips and I dunno what for fifty cents. The same booth had a bunch of scanners and printers. One of 'em catches my eye, and I ask how much. He says ten bucks, I say thanks and start walking away when he says "Allright, take it for five bucks!" I grimace... he found my weak spot. So I buy it. I didn't bring it home with me because the thing was bulky and I was afraid Mexican customs would take it.

My brother brought it here a few hours ago. I set it up and the thing works beautifully. I decide to check out Amazon and I find that it has mostly five star reviews and someone is selling it used for $140. Of course, that price is insane, but apparently this little thing is very well built. It sells for $25 + shipping on average on eBay. I think I did OK. ^^

There might be a Pokemon or two in there, I wouldn't count on it though.



Last night at Play N Trade I got a Genesis fighter stick (ASCIIWare) for $10, and CIB Doom 32X for $3. The stick is actually going to be used as a main controller for my 2600, since I honestly don't care for the real joystick. It's a nice compromise between a Genesis/SMS controller and an Atari joystick, so I'm happy.

[saferkefka]

How much?

$91. most of them are pokemon games. i have at least 15 sets of the gb/gbc pokemon games. some of them are in dreadful shape, some of them need batteries, and all of them need a good cleaning.

Should still be able to make a nice profit after some cleaning/bundling/reselling.

Join together with me in a bundle, and we shall rule the GB/GBC Pokemon section of ebay!

[NayusDante]

Pokemon, gotta sell 'em all.

Went to Salvation Army today and found a loose Konami Justifier for the Sega Genesis for $1.99. Unfortunately I don't have any of the 3 Genesis games it works with so I can't test it out yet. It's in really nice condition though, so it probably works.

[garagesaleking!!]

There might be a Pokemon or two in there, I wouldn't count on it though.

I went garage saling for a few hours and found:

Twisted Metal 2 Black Label Complete- .50
Fox Golf Black Label- .50
Couple of PlayStation Demo Discs- Free
Atari Classics PlayStation Case- Free
Freaky Flyers Gamecube- 1.00

And I found a dollar bill on the ground later, so I technically spent only a buck the whole day.

Also, I almost bought Wargames: Defcon 1 for a buck but when I opened up the case the disc wasn't for WG, it was for something else. I looked in other game cases, but couldn't find it. Good thing I checked it before I bought it.

[Dreadstar]

Had a decent day today at 3 Goodwills in Columbus.



FF7, Parasite Eve (second one in about a week) and Caesar's Palace (boxed, looks complete) 2.99 each. FF7 looks like it was played once and put on a shelf. PE has a little wear, and CP has some box wear but the cart was still in a baggie, and the tray/manual/safety guide are in good shape.

Banjo Kazooie soundtrack and blue Sony PS1 controller 1.99 each
