May 2010 Finds

[UnpluggedClone]

Another great find $20 CL

[FamicomFreak]

Picked all of this from a craiglist ad for 60 bucks.

Sure you do pirate

Lemme know when he says something utterly stupid so I can unblock him.

quit being an idiot unpluggedclone. you bought this all on yourself.

Yeah, that's 9 wireless Xbox 360 controllers, "Easy Piano" with the keyboard for DS, a DSi Action Replay, and a 60GB Xbox 360 HDD.

Oookay, I have a few things to add.

Upon closer examination of the 360 controllers it seems that they are all store returns.

(I'm not very happy that that guy lied to me)

The real giveaway was when I opened one of the "sealed" ones and it reeked of cigarette smoke and the controller was cracked. I've looked over all of them and basically 3 are no good. One has a messed up RB, one's analog sticks stick really bad, and the last one of course is the ciggy controller. I did manage to sync the other 6 controllers to my Xbox and they work fine (buttons and all), which seems kinda silly that they were returned. Just for completeness' sake the 6 that work are 2 whites, 3 blacks, and that black/white "dragon" controller.

Inside the Easy Piano box was the keyboard and all the stuff, but instead of the DS cart a copy of Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakuel for the DS was in there .

And the 60gb HDD does work, which is very satisfying and suprising.

Goodwill $22

You just need to stop now.

[NipRing]

Even if a mod would just take away his ability to post pics it would be better.

Not much today, but I think yesterday I did score a copy of Double Dragon for the ATari Lynx:

I hate to add to the flame war, but I think this must be said.

UnpluggedClone, it doesn't help your case for not buying on Ebay when both of the accounts that Allyourblood linked to have their feedback privated now. True it could be a coincidence, but it would be one hell of a coincidence.

To make this post more on topic, I'll just say I haven't found much of anything this month. Part of it may have been my lack of thrifting, but my single trip to Goodwill and a trip to a consignment shop turned up nothing anyway. I have a flea market I'm going to tomorrow, so I'll give a post with poorly taken pictures tomorrow and long walls of text explaining each.

Those are Walmart store returns. The dragon controller is a Walmart exclusive. Walmart has been known to hold regular auctions for store returns, considering that it costs more to return it to the vendor instead for many items.

Yeah, there's a place not to far from here that auctions off Wal-Mart returns. The only thing that puzzles me is the fact that Easy Piano is supposed to be a Toys R' Us exclusive.

It's interesting that most of the controllers work. I think that it was a simple case of people not being able to figure out how to properly sync a controller to an Xbox.

Hey, hey, dont act upset, you are going to make a fortune on those wireless n adapters.

Ummm, like I said in my earlier post, I gave all those to my dad. He's going to sell them on eBay to pay for bills and such.

I'm going to make money off of this purchase, since most of the controllers work, just not as much as I thought I was going to make.

[NayusDante]

You know, I'm going to be sad when this month's thread is over. We're not going to have UnpluggedClone's funny-finds to laugh at anymore...

I don't even believe he found any of those CL deals. If he did, that's freakin' SAD spending all that money on not-so-rare stuff just to save face on a forum...

[BetaWolf47]

He's banned! Sorry for the small post, but I'm glad that's over.

Seriously.

It has been done. I was going to make the move once I got home from work, it was done before I got settled down. After his initial schooling he had calmed down. Unfortunately he decided that he was going to be the biggest loser and keep at it. Finds on!
