SNES With 2x 1st Party Controllers, RF Adaptor, AC Adaptor, Super Mario World & Super Mario All-Stars - $5

Offered .25 for the Dreamcast controller which was taken. Wipeout, no price took a buck. Extension cords came out of a free box. Asked about video games at one house and the kid went in and rounded up the N64 controller and said I could have it. NES games I found at one of my first sales in a box with some PS2 dreck, DVDs, VHS and were marked .25. The 4 PS1 games were most of what was in a small pile, $1 each took $3 for 4 and let me have the Crash 3 case when I asked (will go nice with the disc only copy I got last week).

The SNES was rather late in the morning, asked about games and came out telling me that not much was found but I said I'd be interested. The games were brought out and a hint was given about a system which I was told may not work and I offered $5 for all of it and wouldn't complain if it didn't work right which was taken. Mentioned selling most of the games last year which were mostly "fighting" games.



18 Video Game Related Books & Not Pictured Some D&D Stuff & A World of Warcraft Card Game - $2

Asked about video games at this sale and the lady brought something out and apologized since it wasen't games but I could see how the mistake was made. Saw a few I didn't have of interest and asked about getting rid of the whole box and offered $2 which was fine as I was told anything left was just going to be thrown out.



Atari 2600 With 3x Controllers, Hookups, Pile of Manuals & 26 Games - $15

This really isn't from a yardsale but from an auction that was early on my usual Saturday route (after my 3rd YS) and started at 8:30. I got to the auction shortly before it started and couldn't find the Atari asked and nobody working with the auction place saw it and I was about to leave to maybe come back later to see if it was still around since this was going to be an all day auction but somebody went and asked the owner of the house about it and ended up coming back with it and even was nice enough to put it right up for auction without me asking them to which was very nice as some places are stubborn about doing this and will tell not till x time when I ask or tell me they will but don't put it up for an hour or more. I took a quick look over the Atari stuff not noticing the one skill lever broken and while I was looking it over the only guy that bid against me didn't take a good look at it but kind of walked over me as I was looking at it and took a quick look over my shoulder. First bid was from the other guy at 2.50 and oddly enough was bid up in 2.50 increments, no tax or buyer's premium.

As long as it's LaserDisc, it will play. Just look for that L logo with the square in it, like you have on the front of your player.

If I remember right, it's a different laser that reads CDs, so you can't fully test the unit without an LD or CDV. It will play CDs (8cm), CDVs (20cm), and LDs (30cm). CDV is the 45rpm 7" of LD, for lack of a better way to describe it.

Does it have extra ports on the back? Read this. You might be able to use it if you find a Dragon's Lair cabinet in need of a new player..

Thank you,
Hmm.the backs loaded with ports,thanks for the info I'm going to check it out.

Hit a couple thrifts and a Movie Trading Company near my brother's house today. Picked up Entombed for the Atari 2600 (loose), Evil Zone and X-Men vs. Street Fighter for the PS1, and Steel Battalion for the Xbox. I bought the Steel Battalion controllers in a thrift a while ago, and I thought it would be easy to locate the game, since I'd seen it all over for around five bucks. But they all disappeared out of stores the moment I started looking for a copy. I did find it's sequel, but not the original game until now. I iz happeh.

[ganondorf]

haven't found much for games lately, but today I got a teal n64 controller for 1.50, waynes world w/ instructions (SNES) for 1.50, and donkey kong classics for $3.

I also got one of these things (I don't know what they're called, could someone help) made by pelican that adds 5 a/v inputs on your tv, for 2.50

Unrelated to games, I got a bunch of horror movies (including 5 vhs's for the show "freddies nightmares" which i've wanted for awhile) for 50 cents each, and some cassette tapes (Misfits, Samhain, Iron Maiden, etc) for 25 cents each.

and:




These badasses for 50 cents each.

Garage sale find:



Woke up early to go to a sale in East Anchorage that advertised a SNES, but it was cancelled due to rain. On my way back home I stopped at an unadvertised sale and the first thing I saw was a bin containing a barebones SNES and a bunch of games. In the garage was a second bin filled with Genesis carts, various controllers, a power adapter for the SNES, a Game Gear case, (which had three games inside) and some other misc crap.

CIF'ed $15 for everything which was taken. I probably could've gotten it all for $10 and perhaps found more gaming stuff had I taken more time to thoroughly look around the garage.

Arasoi, I have the same bag that I picked up over a year ago

Cool. How do you like it? From what I've read these are the original 80s NES licensed tote bags. I'm hoping some rubbing alcohol and a little TLC will bring some of the shine out on mine.

I have one too that i've had since back in the day. right now its somewhere around here with just some old nintendo power magazines in it.

.99 for the cube wavebird base and n64 composite video plug, hadn't seen one before.

In case you're wondering, that plug is for using the NES RF adapter on an N64 or Gamecube. Nintendo just recycled the NES adapter for use on SNES, and made that adapter so they could use the same one on N64 and Gamecube.

Be careful when matching that Wavebird dongle with a Wavebird. Make sure you test it out before you buy it, because some Wavebird sets are 900Mhz, and others are 2.4Ghz. Not every dongle works with every Wavebird.

BW47, thanks for the info, wasn't aware of any of that info.

thanks,

I honestly have had it in a box with my other carrying bags and totes, since I display all of my systems on shelves, so I couldn't tell you.

I have a habit of picking up any licensed carrying items. I picked up a suitcase with the Nintendo characters on it at a random yard sale
