Nothing much, it's 7 AM and there's a hurricane closeby, so I'm not leaving today. I have some finds from earlier in the week, but they're in the US because of Customs.
What did you find today?

my guitar hero 5 will be arriving today in the mail from amazon today, i consider it a find because i traded in a bunch of basically crappy ps1 and xbox games that were even badly scratched for $90 in trade credit plus the $30 extra promotion, plus a $10 video game coupon, and a $5 mp3 credit, can you beat that? not to mention i get guitar hero van halen for free when too.
Autobots. Roll out.
I won some x68000 games off of Yahoo. Went way, way cheaper than I anticipated. I had no idea Ajax ever had a home release.
I wasn't aware it was ever released either. I used to love that game, but I gave up hope ever seeing a home version. Any good?
I'll let you know if my x68000 is ever working!
It had a home computer release in Europe where it's known as Typhoon.
Found this neat art at a church sale.
Paid $2, and the guy was trying to get me to take an old TV with it "for free!!"
Normally, I don't go through frames/art at these kind of things for fear of the horrible tackiness that usually resides, but I saw this one poking out, and thought to myself, "that can't be Space Invaders? Can it?" Yup.
Figured it was a poster, but there's no date/copyright or anything on it, and it's actually like a firmboard, not a paper. Kinda reminds me of something that would be the cover art for an old magazine or something.
Anyone else seen this before?
I really like it. Going to put it up in my game room for sure.
It looks like the art for a cheap multi-cart knockoff or something with Space Invaders, Pacman, Battlezone, Chess, and Star Wars. I think it's very cool as well and am jealous that it's not going in my game room...
I really like it. Going to put it up in my game room for sure.

what would be cool is to take a good pic of it and in photoshop in the top right corner put a Digital Press logo and the stores address and have Joe use it as an ad. That would kick @$$
..."The One And Only"
I hit a new-to-me thrift store today. Found a couple audio CDs and left behind a loose 4-switch 2600, no power pack or anything else, marked 19.99.
Today I traded a phat PS2 and some random early release games for...
A 60GB XBox 360! Just got home to test it out fully and it works perfectly. Only thing is I can't figure out how to get a wired 360 controller to work w/ it. I got my wireless to work fine, but not the wired one. Weird. This is actually the second time I've traded a cheap console & games bundle for a 360. The first time I traded a Dreamcast & games for one.
I have no idea why this person even wanted to make this trade considering they could have gone to Gamestop and gotten something similar I'm sure.
Technically from last month but...
Nip Tuck Seasons 2 and 4, Ren & Stimpy Seasons 1&2 - $25
Capcom vs. SNK 2 EO in a RE4 box - $3
Road Runner - $2
Super Mario 64 - $1
World Neverland (jp ps1) - $2
Genesis system + hookups and controllers (not pictured) plus Chuck Rock 2, Sonic 1, Columns, Taz Escape from Mars, Toy Story 2 and the box for Toe Jam and Earl - $10
Robocop (blu) and Tales of Vesperia - $25
Every other game shown + Gamecube system and hookups, 2 PS1 systems and hookups, SNES and hookups and Genesis and hookups - $60
If your talking about the thrift store on clevelend avenue the atari has been their for monthsI hit a new-to-me thrift store today. Found a couple audio CDs and left behind a loose 4-switch 2600, no power pack or anything else, marked 19.99.
yep, that's the one.
I haven't posted an actual find in a long while (for me... about 2 weeks). Part of that is because the lamp on my TV/monitor went out, so I was on the other computer and it just messed up my mojo. That's all fixed now, though.
Yesterday I did quite well at a small sale that I wouldn't have thought much of by the look.
The Sony surround system was 5 bucks. She said her discs didn't always play, but it seems to work fine under testing, though I haven't watched a movie with it or anything. It sounds way better than it has any right to. Hopefully I'll be able to be using this in another year. Same sale had the Miracle Piano for $10. It is the Nintendo branded one, but has the computer cord, not the NES. Haven't tested it yet. I also picked up a pretty good drill for $5 and some nice but cheap bins for storing toys in.
Vandal hearts had an extra copy of the game in the jewel case at a thrift, along with VHII ($2.40 and $1.60). Same thrift had SM64 for $3.80. Tie Fighter collection was 1.60 at a thrift.
PS1 bag was cheap, new, and is for sale in case anyone here wants an unopened one. PS2 loose w/ 2 games was $20. Told it works, but we'll see. Midway arcade hits GBA game was a buck.
Garmin Nuvi 780 was $150, brand new off CL, and my wife has wanted one, so it was her anniversary present. I'm afraid this might have fallen off a truck, though...
Are these the original headphones that came with the Miracle Piano?
