March 2010 Finds

[Deadman]

Cool DC haul at Goodwill today!



Blue GINORMOUS Astropad
2 Sega DC Controllers
1 Blue VMU
1 Performance Rumble pack
1 NES control Pad

$12 for everything



Test Drive 6 (no manual)
Test Drive V-Rally (no manual)
Test Drive LeMans (no game disc, Rainbow Six is inside instead?)
Who Wants to Beat Up a Millionaire (complete)
NCAA FB 2K2 - factory sealed
World Series Baseball 2K2 - factory sealed
Sega GT - factory sealed
The Next Tetris (PS1) complete

All for $15. This was quite a chore to find these games, as they were mixed in with the CD's and almost all of the opened games had incorrect discs, or the manuals were in the wrong cases, or whatever. I left a few NFL 2K titles and a few others behind, and went ahead and bought the Test Drive games even though they aren't complete because I believe I may have a few extra manuals laying around.

***EDIT**** I forgot to add a quick story from the cashier. I put the stuff on the counter and commented how I never find any good game stuff at this location and she was very forthcoming about how the "regular" guy hadn't been in yet today and these games had just been put out earlier this morning. (I went by there around 11:00am). I sensed that this guy was NOT going to be happy that I was there first. I wanted to get more into who the "regular guy" was, what he looked like etc, but just decided to be happy with the find and move on.

A couple of things that came in the mail today, courtesy of our forum members

The Krion Conquest (NES) - complete. A great Mega-Man clone!

Tempo (32X) - complete. The shrinkwrap is still intact except on the top.

Soul Star (SCD) - complete. Another game that I've heard good things about. Can't wait to try it.

Now, I just have to unpack all of my crap (just moved) and hook everything up again!

Some finds today:



Got everything for around $26.

[Deadman]

Wow! Good stuff in this lot for sure. Great finds on the Gen games (with manuals I assume?) and getting The Office Season One for $1.91 is a steal!

[Porksta]

Both are complete, BOB is kind of beat up, but Raiden is a gem. Should make my money back either way.

Cool DC haul at Goodwill today!

Nice finds indeed. Sorry to up the ante, but I think I found a really fine Dreamcast haul myself, courtesy of craigslist.


1 Boxed Rev1 Canadian Dreamcast, complete
1 Boxed official Agetec Rally Wheel, complete
1 Boxed official transparent green controller, complete
1 Boxed EB Games/Interact S-Video cable, complete
1 Boxed Performance Tremor Pack, complete
1 Boxed Performance Memory Card, complete
1 official 4X Memory Card
1 official smoke/black VMU
Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike, Centipede, Sword of the Berserk: Guts Rage, Sonic Adventure Sega All-Stars release, and Sega Sports NBA 2K.

All for $50 Canadian. I could ramble on for a while about all the things here but I plan to keep most and sell the rest. I am keeping the wheel and Dreamcast box at the very least which are two things I've wanted for a while.

Looks like I was to late to start the thread . Anyways, here's my repost.

Got my odyssey 2 today, along with 3 intellivision games (pitfall, star strike, and space hawk), and 2 odyssey 2 games(K.C Munchkin!, and Multi-Mode game cartridge with speedway, spin-out crypto-logic all in original boxes perfect condition with manuals). Payed 64$ for the whole lot. I know it was overpriced the odyssey was $49.99 but it was something I had been wanting for a while. So i'm happy! My first vintage purchase in....months. Oklahoma has been dry lately

EDIT: The odyssey was also in the box with the Styrofoam and all manuals etc. It's also in perfect condition.

[Shadow Kisuragi]

Update your sig now that you have the Odyssey

[darkslime]

Yeah I meant the Cat Returns. Totoro was the Disney 2 disc version which was why it was worth almost $100. Anyone who pays me $100 for a DVD is insane since it just got reprinted, haha.

Today I went to a thrift store I haven't been to in months and they had some Sega Saturn games so I got Street Fighter Alpha, Fighting Vipers and Virtua Cop 2 all complete for $2.89 each not a great deal but not a bad deal either.

Then from the local Goodwill I got Resident Evil Gaiden for $5 but the battery is dead I also got the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles season 5 dvd set for $1.50 at the same Goodwill.

Not bad for a monday nothing spectacular but i'm happy with it now it's time to learn how to change Game Boy batteries lol.

I did some trading with a today and aquired a few things I've been after.
Got a TurboBooster, a TurboTap, 2 extra TurboPads, and the system manual.
Also got for SNES: Legend of The Mystical Ninja (boxed), Super Buster Brothers (boxed), Out of This World (boxed), Super Punch Out (boxed), Super Widget (complete), Wolfenstein 3D (complete), Pilot Wings (complete), F-Zero (complete), and an empty Robocop 3 box for NES.
This was all received in exchange for both of the Gamecube Zelda collections, a loose copy of Link's Awakening, a loose copy of Oracle of Ages, loose Star Fox 64, and an empty, kinda beat up Mega Man 3 box.

Traded that copy of 3rd Strike (Dreamcast) for a previously brand-new sealed copy of The Ooze for Sega Genesis. I kept the old wrapping to take photographic proof. Great game otherwise and I am glad to finally have a good condition copy.

Sealed or not, think you just ripped yourself off.
