While I've already started a thread about the XE, I can also mention that I got hold of a 2600/VCS at my future in-laws house. There were also a BUNCH of games with it, complete with instructions! When I get the chance to go through and see everything, I'll update with an accurate list. I can say right off the top, I've got:
Adventure
Pac-Man
Pitfall!
Pitfall II
Pong Sports
Soccer
Tennis
...but there's a WHOLE lot more. I can't wait to set it up.
Settle down, raise a family, join the PTA
Buy some sensible shoes and a Chevrolet
And party 'till you're broke and they drag you away
It's okay, you can dare to be stupid
Awesome find with the Sailor Moon stickers, Sailor Moon is great!

I'd like to know how much this was as well. I had my personal Vectrex set up at OVGE today for freeplay and was asked at least 10 times "how much would one of these set me back?" My standard answer is that a loose Vectrex console only would be $50-100 and a setup with games could run up to $300. Close?

Yes, very much so, and no at the same time. If I make a cash offer for private sale on something that "can" be traded in while I'm on the clock and within the confines of the physical store, it is highly frowned upon and I could get written up over it. However I've been with the same group of people for a few years now, and we all have moments where we try to score a personal deal. 9 out of 10 times we take the trades in and buy it back from the store. But in this case, I was officially on break, outside of the store and in the parking lot when the offer and transaction was made. So it really was my personal time. There's not a whole lot anyone can do about that situation.
Aside from a dirty look I got from my manager for the next few min, as I think he wanted to try and score it, it went over without even a comment. He does the same thing from time to time, we just try not to make a scene or a regular occourance of it.
BTW working at EB and collecting retro games does not mesh well everything that ever comes to the store is either junk, or new(er).
I was going to post my OVGE stuff here, but I guess since it's a videogame convention they aren't really "finds" as much as "purchases".

It's was an older woman, so I didn't want to haggle with her. I needed the boxes for all but one of the games, and I needed 2-3 of the games for my collection, so I paid her asking pricing of $100 (though that's more than I would normally pay). I've now got 6 working vectrexs and two extra controllers.

Post them anyway. Always great to show other people what they're missing out when they don't attend the gatherings.
Went to my usual flea today and picked up 7 more nes games:
Lee Normans Fighting Golf
Jeapordy! Junior Edition
Platoon
Caveman Games
Xenophobe
Bomberman
Gun.Smoke
Got them all for $15. Pretty happy mainly as I've been looking for a cheap bomberman for a while now. Puts me at a total of 267 NES games.
Tell me about it. I have around the same amount of NES games that you have and I only just got a copy of Bomberman a month ago!
Eh, not much at flea market today.
I got
Conker's Bad Fur Day - $4 (yay?)
Bomberman Hero - $4
Rad Racer - $1
and I also got a NGTV 7.2 inch LCD screen for $8. It' pretty nice and would make a great little gaming screen once I mod it. It uses a mini DIN pin for A/V and power(? not sure) but I'll be able to mod it to accept composite or even S-Video. It's casing is cracked, but I'm sure it will make a fine litte thing once I get it modded. One could hang it on the wall like a picture frame and install a Nes-On-A-Chip in it. You could have a hangable, portable NES system. Hmmm... Good idea!
It's one of these, just without the A/V cables and remote:

Check my auctions here! I am in the business of finding off-beat things, including video game stuff!
View my collection!
That the one that was listed as located in Tracy / Stockton? If so I'm gonna be kicking myself as I was thinking of going after it but I'm cautious about traveling a big distance for craigslist after being burned a couple times.

Here's Today pickups.
Again I didn't find them, they found me. At my store these were legit trade-ins that I re-purchased from my store.
2.25 for Aleins Long box
11.25 for Ratchet and Clank
3.99 for Ratchet and Clank going Comando
8.50 for Ratchet and Clank Up Your Arsenal
Been meaning to pick up the R&C games for a while and don't mind spending a litte more on CIB's
I bought a new system yesterday: a Wii! My sister and I were shopping in Wal-Mart and saw the case full of systems. She convinced me to buy one, since she know I was itching to play the games I bought earlier in the week.
I've been playing around with the online rankings system for Sonic and the Black Knight. Of course, right now I'm low on the rankings list, but it's still a pretty neat feature.
Oh, and I can't wait to to download stuff from the online store! There's a ton of Virtual Console and Wiiware games I want to try out.
Some recent finds over the last few days:
Casper cib (SNES) $1.95 @ Goodwill
Zombie Revenge cib (Dreamcast) $3

House of the Dead cib (Saturn) w/ recipt from '98 @ Toys-R-Us $70 this was $39.99 at the time new also the person bought Panzer Dragoon (not sure which one) for $49.99

Alright, phew, thanks. Great find!
here's a find from last Thursday, as I popped into a Goodwill where I've had little to no luck in the past:
Six Nintendo games for $6
Tecmo Super Bowl
Roadblasters
Rad Racer
RBI Baseball 3
Paperboy 2
SMB/DH (not pictured)
______________________________________
Okay find today, all 3 are fun to play!
Super C (NES)- 8.00, with manual
Life Force (NES) - 4.00
Super R-Type (SNES) - 3.00
Lurking since '05
Alright, here are my OVGE "finds". For the sake of all parties involved in trades and purchases, I'm not revealing the names of the people I got this stuff from or most of the individual prices. But know that everything here totalled around $50.
5200 Games - Never seen around here in the wild or in collector shops, so I grabbed ones that I could. I skipped over a ton of rarer ones at great prices. Buyers regret already on those.
Atari Lynx games - I don't have a Lynx anymore, but at $1 each, sealed games are tough to pass up.
Colecovision - there were boxes of CV titles on many tables, and much like the 5200 games, I never see them locally so I grabbed quite a few. Again, I should have grabbed some of the nicer, rarer ones, but that leaves something for me to get next year.
Atari 2600 and Nintendo 64 - I actually got a few more than this, but I can't find them right now (must be in one of the unpacked bins). They included Dare Diver, Steeplechase, and Sorcerer. I hope I didn't end up trading them away. The Telegames game is "Arcade Pinball" and the US Games cart missing the label hasn't been tested yet to see what it is.
Sega Saturn and 32x - not a ton of Saturn games there, but I got a great deal from a forum member and a few others in a trade from another member.
Again, I think there was more, but it's probably mixed up in my bins somewhere. A quick count shows 38 games for a total around $50 making them each about $1.25? Not bad!! Just shows what deals can be had at these cons if you look hard enough!
