January 2010 Finds

[allyourblood]

From cl (all lose):

metroid fusion
metroid zero mission
Castlevania Harmony of Dissonance
final fantasy I + II
Sonic Advance

$20 total. I think I did alright.

That's about as much as I would've been willing to pay. I usually like my GBA games under the $2 mark, but those are some really nice titles. Good score!

[jeffg]

7th Saga and Dracula $2 each at Goodwill
Guides $1 each
GC games $4 each along with FF Tactics Advance
SNES $10

also got Persona Revelations for PS1 complete and MINT for $19.99 at Movie Trading company

Also got 2 packages today:

[-hellvin-]

This also came in today from a DP member:


All are sealed in mint condition.

Very nice, I found Dizzy a while back. Is that the complete set? I remember years ago on ebay when I started collecting you could buy the entire set with the aladdin enhancer for about 200 bucks at any time you wanted...there was always an auction up for it. Hell, I think the entire Sachen collection was often available on ebay back then. Might even still be for all I know, hehe.

[Shadow Kisuragi]

I believe that's the complete set - $80 shipped for it all.

[-hellvin-]

Seems like a very nice deal, nice one.

Sorry bout the late response, its the guy the has the tarp that has a bunch of crap everywhere. I dont know if that helps. You had some decent finds yourself. seemed like it dried up though the last few months.

Haha, not really. There are a lot of people with tarps full of crap. Good find though.

I plan on hitting up the swap meet later tonight since I have nothing else to do.

And yeah, its definitely drying up. This summer I could easily spend $50-100 at the swap meet going there each week, now there are almost the same amount of vendors but I barely find anything.

The other swap meet on the reservation was good the first time I went, the second time it seemed like all the same vendors and none of them got anything new in.

Got a few goodies today:

2x Dreamcast systems (7 games total) - 2 controllers
N64 system
VTech V-Smile Pocket with 5 games and carrying case
NES games = Bible Adventues, Shadow Gate, Dragon Spirit
PS2 = Dragon Ball Z Budokia 1 & 2
XBOX 360 = King Kong

Spent $60 total on everything...planning on eBaying or selling ALL of it.

[darkslime]

You would barely break even on eBay after fees unless those are some great Dreamcast games.

[jkernea]

V-Smile Pocket with games is worth around $50 by itself......so, I should be OK.

Woot Woot! Post #100 for me. lol

The Flea..

Namco Gun with wire $4.00
The Time Crisis 3 game that goes with it was on the vendors table directly across
$5.00>Upon opening the box it had bootleg CD of some movie in it.Some dude was watching over me as I looked through the games,as soon as I put the game down he snached it up like a hungry dog,thinking it was what it was complete.(have fun with that ya hear.

Xbox 360 Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon AW Complete $10.00(looking for system link games)

Game Selector $5.00(already hooked it up
NES Plug $2.00
Star Wars pump Water Gun,$1.00
CREEPSHOW book $5.00 with Sears 1902 Catalog $5.00
Colt $,Military Books $5 each...
CD Radio in excellent Condition $12.00..First thing I tested when I got home...has a reggae CD in it...Works perfectly..I needed one of these for when I go racing.

Xbox 360 NYKO Intercooler..$1.00..It doesn't fit my Arcade 360(plug)i'd like to wire this up to it's own power supply, totally removing the plug insert parts.


Power Wheels 4 wheeler $5.00 in really good condition,has battery and is taking a charge,
I have the charger for these so i snatch these up.





Passed up three SNES systems..at first The Price were at max what I'd pay but another vendor was trying to buy them so the vendor upped the price..They were working together to Shill prices up....I walked away,changed my coat to a lighter coat as it got warmer out..,..I went back an hour later and asked price again...Same price I was given the first time,then the nearby vendor came back over again quickly and the shilling went on again..(i watched as they'd just pull this crap on people from everything they had in games..
Later one of the three SNES systems was on the second vendors table..
The first vendor also had a Saturn with a tiny toggle switch on the back,a Japanese Street Fighter and ram cart...That also became a price jump between the two with all of it going to the second vendor.
I was curious as to what the switch was for.


Passed up
Xbox 360 The Orange Box $10.00
Xbox 360 Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon AW $20.00
Xbox 360 DIRT $25.00

The game thats hard to see in the middle is image fight.

[Blitzwing256]

The game thats hard to see in the middle is image fight.

That exodus strategy guide is quite a find, took me many years to find one in great shape, and a boxed copy of the game is always nice too (one of my top 5 nes games)

[Sonicwolf]

Found a Leisure Dynamics Leisure-Vision for 10 dollars at value village along with a 3 dollar clicky keyboard from the 1980s and a few records. Also found a Sanyo top-loading Betamax VCR for 10 dollars, working. Its tired though as it struggles to rewind if the rewind if for a long time.

Also got 2 packages today:

where u buy EB zero?

i didnt know there was a normal size box version of earthbound

[jeffg]

A guy on Nintendoage had the Earthbound Zero. I paid $65 shipped for it, but i had an earthbound zero repro already so i threw that one on ebay for $49.99 and sold it. I am kind of anal about having boxed games.

The Small Earthbound box was a display only box. I like it better than the big box as it looks nicer with all my other snes rpgs

[PentiumMMX]

It's been a while, but I've had some pretty good finds this past week:

- DSi Car charger (DSi. New): $3
- Gamecube (Platinum, 2004 revision. Loose w\o cables or controllers): $6
- The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks (DS. Used, in mint condition): $23
- The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks: Collector's Edition Strategy Guide (New): $25
- The Orange Box (PC. New): $30

Ever since I got myself a newer PC a few weeks ago, I've hunted for a copy of the Orange Box (It was going to be cheaper for me to buy the set than just try to get Portal by it's self. Besides, I also get Half-Life 2 with it). Also, that Gamecube now holds the record for the 2nd cheapest Nintendo console I've ever bought (The cheapest is still my NES; bought for $1 at a garage sale in early Summer 2003).

[mobiusclimber]

The game thats hard to see in the middle is image fight.

That Ultima Exodus is a really nice find (b/c of the guide).

[Tupin]

Got Hydlide for $2 and Mario's Tennis on the Virtual Boy for $5.

Also saw a cool thing, a prototype of a motion sensitive skateboard for a Tony Hawk PS2 game that was canceled. He won it at an auction during CGE, and that someone from Sony was there when he won it and said they'd never release it because it was a death trap.

[ScourDX]

Picked up Bioshock PC Limited Edition at EB games for $35. Box is damage, but the content is brand new. Can't believe they still have them after how many years. I am happy the Big Daddy Figurine is still intact.

[oleanhosting]

Found in Buffalo NY at the Mckinnley Mall there is a Video game store there.

Blackjack for the NES (R6 at Nintendo Age) paid $7.49
Name this game for the 2600 paid $2.49
