    Shadow of the Beast II for the Sega CD, and an Ideal brand official Rubik's Cube, still shrinkwrapped. The wrap is a bit tattered and sadly the side facing away from the camera shows that the plastic in the Cube's core went brittle and broke, and loose pieces are rattling around inside it. Still, I got all nerdy when I saw it. And it was sold from a store called Edison, which was a great little place in the late '70s and early '80s along the lines of stores like Best and Wilson's/Service Merchandise. An earlier era of 'big box stores' that are all sadly gone. They all used to have fantastic catalogs, though. Oh so many memories of looking through the Christmas catalogs as a kid.

    The store I bought Shadow of the Beast II at has a proverbial shitload of rare games. They've got heaps of Japanese Dreamcast games, three UK Dreamcast releases (two of which never made it stateside), and Sega CD titles like Vay, Popful Mail, and Lunar. The guy's prices are a bit steep on consoles ($110 for a black Sega Sports Dreamcast? $45 for a Playstation 1?) but the Sega CD RPGs were only $49.99 each. He didn't have prices on the UK Dreamcast titles, so he went to 'check the computer'. It was obvious that he was looking them up on eBay. And not finding any info about them, probably because he was checking the US eBay rather than the UK version. Still, If he's got some not-too-steep prices on Headhunter and Evil Twin, I wouldn't mind getting them both.

    Hmm, I forgot to list this yesterday. I got a Powerglove for free yesterday from my brother's friend. The glove doesn't seem to work, but I haven't played around with it enough to know for sure.

    Went to a local thrift store and found the following:

    Road Rash II (Genesis)- $0.75
    GE Wildcat Portable Record Player- $6

    The Wildcat is missing a needle, but they look cheap on eBay.

    Nope, sounds like it works just fine.

    Hahaha, after playing with it a bit more, I think you're right!

    Actually, I was able to get it to sort-of work for a few seconds at a time. I think there's a short in one of the wires, because it alternate between working poorly and not working at all. Luckily that doesn't affect its performance as a wall-hanger.

    Went charity shop hunting today and there was actually more than the usual 1 or 2 crappy sports titles. I picked up:

    PS1:
    Sheep, Dog 'N' Wolf
    Crash Team Racing
    Crash Bandicoot 2

    All £1 each and all CIB and in good condition. Not a big fan of Crash Bandicoot so will probably resell for a decent profit. Sheep, Dog 'N' Wolf appears to be a PAL exclusive title, a nice find!
    I reject your reality and substitute it for one of my own!

    Dock sale was disappointing today, as I found very little.

    Got a loose Saturn and a Dreamcast in alright shape for $3 a pop. Some loose PC and PS2 games for $0.50 each. Nothing else special. Also got a pair of Coral BX-201 Japanese hi-fi speakers from the late 60s/early 70s for $5, those are going to eBay.

    Coral speakers seem to bring some money on eBay, though it seems most people that sold them are charging ungodly amounts for shipping and they still sell, for instance a pair of BX-9s sold for $10 + $69 shipping O_o. I could ship mine for $20ish via fedex.....

    They'll probably bring $100ish, not too bad for some mid-range bookshelf speakers. I still think the little JBL 2500 speakers I got the other week sound better, though they're only worth half of the Coral pair.
    Check my auctions here! I am in the business of finding off-beat things, including video game stuff!

    I couldn't go to the flea market yesterday - the line to cross to the US was like an hour long -by foot-, and I didn't feel like standing around for that long. I did go today, though. I didn't find anything, most of this is from trades.



    Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama DVD - $2
    S-Video / RCA cable - $1.65
    Molex to SATA power cable - $1 (for a friend)

    Bleemcast: Metal Gear Solid, Dracula Unleashed (SCD) and Cliffhanger (SCD) were from one trade. The Dreamcast VGA Box was from another. I also received 2 GB of RAM for a computer I'm fixing up for a friend over the weekend.

    Oooh, there's a stink bomb of a movie! I remember watching that one on USA's Up All Night show back in the '90s. A friend and I were planning on going to see that on a double bill with some other similarly named flick back in the '80s when the movie came out, but we decided not to. I wonder if I dodged a bullet?

    These finds are from the last 2 months. I haven't had a chance to post these. I did post some japanese N64 games I bought 2 weeks ago, but I never posted these.



    These were from Hollywood Video. The Burnout Paradise was $19.99 new/sealed, the Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance was $14.99, new/sealed. The Final Fantasy X-2 was $4.99 in great condition with the instructions and case.
