Really nice find InsaneDavid. I have a question for you too. How often do you reply to craigslist postings where the seller never bothers to contact you back? I've quickly learned to hate craigslist because 3 out of the 4 times I reply to a posting the seller never responds back, and the listing still sits there for weeks...

Quite a bit, people are usually just lazy. I'm trying to conserve some cash right now so I haven't been on craigslist too often but it's a common occurrence.

I actually first contacted the seller back on 12/29/10 and I think the posting was already about to expire. I didn't hear back until 1/4/11 and he wanted the exchange on 1/8/11. So the whole thing came as a surprise that it went so smooth, especially that the designated pick up location was like 5 minutes away from me.

Nice pickup on that Gunstar Heroes, Atarileaf.

[Gooch3008]

CIB 1080 snowboarding - $.95

oddly, the copy of goldeneye and the n64 expansion pak were in a ziploc bag together and had a price tag stapled through it that said $1.95 gonna trade it in.

I couldnt resist buying this copy of the transformers movie on VHS. I don't know why I bought it, I just had to.

[Cornelius]

Dang, nice Gunstar Heroes!

Went to 3 thrifts on Sunday and these were all I found, and all were at the first/closest, so it felt like a big waste afterwards.

Silent Thunder is sealed and was 2.80
Nox for some reason I thought was worth a bit, oops. Guess it'll go in the collection. Is it a good game, at least? it was 1.80
The 1943 handheld is pretty cool to find new in its package for 3.80. Has a Kaybee price sticker hand written at 9.99. Also, Kaybee recommends Panasonic Alkaline batteries!
Also got a couple new Canon printer inks I thought I needed, but don't. Le sigh.

And then this came today...

28.98 from a seller on Amazon. I've been watching the used page at amazon for weeks (months) since a lot of people had been getting this game there from Amazon Warehouse Deals for pretty cheap, but never saw them get below about $55. This showed up the other day listed in Like New condition (nothing else stated). I rushed to get it and was afraid I'd be too late, but checked out just fine. Came today and while it isn't *really* like new, it is pretty damn good and I can't complain.

Delivery was attempted on my Pier Solar, but my carrier was still not back yet at 5.50 when I went to the PO, so I'll have to go again tomorrow.

I need a really good find - I'm getting depressed...

I haven't found anything good in a while, so don't feel like you're alone. On December 31st I went thrifting and found pretty much most stores had lines of cars at the donation areas, since everybody wants to get in that last tax deduction before the year's out. I had hoped that would result in some nice stuff in the stores, but I still haven't found anything. Maybe all the indie stores have started putting anything they think might be valuable on eBay, so the good stuff isn't hitting the shelves.

[Ryaan1234]

Okay lot sale again this morning....

In what was literally a box of VCRs and crappy DVD players I spied something with the Nakamichi logo and nearly had a heart attack as I reached for it. I WISH it was a cassette deck but it ended up being a Nakamichi "Stasis" stereo receiver, model TA-4A. The TA 4A brings a solid $200+ on eBay so I'm very happy.

Other than that I grabbed a HUGE Sound Blaster box for some older card. When I opened it I almost had another heart attack as it was full of early 90s PC game boxes. I opened the boxes and they were all empty . I did snag the box/papers for Full Throttle for my game.

Anyways, that's it. I think it's been an eventful morning for me anyway.

[Deadman]

Today I returned the ever-crappy Kinectimals (a Christmas present to the family from friends) to Movie Trading Company and got this stuff in its place:



Mutant League Football (Genesis) - box and cart, missing manual (dangit)
Q*Bert (Atari 5200) - box, insert, and mint cart, but missing manual (dangit)
Mario Bros. (Atari 5200) - loose
Pac-Man (Game Gear) - loose

I got back some cash as well, and I'm much happier with these games than Kinectimals...

[Vinnysdad]
