April 2011 Finds

[Darko]

I don't know if it truly qualifies as a find...but I was digging through some boxes that were headed up to the attic last night and found some games that I haven't seen in probably 7 years. Among them were Silent Hill and Mega Man Legends. I thought they were gone for good! Now if I can just find the cases...

[Deadman]

Took my son to Gamestop so he could get a Pokemon White and saw that a new sale has started, so I got:

God Of War: Ghost of Sparta (PSP) new - $19.99

I was hoping to get it used/complete for $17.99 - 10%, but they didn't have any and neither did any other locations nearby. Still a good deal though!

[Swamperon]

Had £5 on my Game reward card so popped into a nearby store and picked up Lock's Quest (DS)for £4.99. Looks interesting.

[Kitsune Sniper]

Not much, yesterday I found a generic Target CD with Halloween music covers for $1, and a CD with piano covers of the Peanuts songs for $1.

Today I bought a set of Photoshop tutorial DVDs to resell on eBay for $10.

[DKTheArcadeRat]

Picked up Fallout New Vegas CE new at Gamestop for $30. Not bad.

Another Nice Craigslist Find. It has been a nice 3 days with the one above and this one all happening in 3 days:

Well i had a contact i have bought from in the past on Craigslist who had found more stuff and shot me a message. Sorry for all the pics.

First Pic, the 32X is still new in all the baggies:



This pic Herzog and star control are complete. The gem of the lot is in this pic.



Here are all boxes only, they are all available except Ninja Gaiden II which I am keeping for my collection



Lots of Manuals and stuff, the Zelda Tips thing still has the sticker seal on it



More Manuals











ALL THE MANUALS BOXES ARE SOLD IN ONE LOT TO SOMEONE. I KEPT SHINING FORCE, O 2, AND NINJA GAIDEN II FOR MYSELF.
THE NEW 32X IS STILL FOR SALE, ALONG WITH SPIDERMAN WEB OF FIRE, KNUCKLES CHAOTIX, AND MUTANT LEAGUE HOCKEY

[portnoyd]

Thanks for reminding me how terrible my local CL is for games.

[megasdkirby]

Just got Decathlon for Coleco from Ebay.

[Cornelius]

Nothing too special in this lot, but it was $60. And I got the bin. I love it when I get the bin.

Originally was $50 w/out the GB, but he didn't have change and I'd forgotten my cash from home so had to get $ from an ATM that only give 20s. So I grabbed the GB he had for sale, too. Highlights are SMW/All*s and SMKart. Wish there'd been a random 32x spiderman in all this

[theclaw]

[megasdkirby]

Picked up today Mario Kart Wii, Wii Play, and Elder Scroll's Oblivion GOTY for $15 each at my local Pawn Shop.

At Game Stop, I picked up some weird racing game a la Mario Kart Wii for $20.

That is all.

[Kitsune Sniper]

Brothers and Systems: Transcontinental Weekend
John Williams conducts John Williams: The Star Wars Trilogy
Atlantic Rhythm and Blues 1947 - 1974 Volume 1
Hard Disk Cafe
New York Ska-Jazz Ensemble
$1 each

That Hard Disc Cafe CD is... special. It's some sort of handout given to Maxtor employees and features music by a band comprised of Maxtor employees. It's got some sort of handwritten note on a post-it. I didn't examine it closely, but it was... quite odd.


Jeff The Drunk Takes Manhattan
Earl Klugh - Life Stories
Duke Nukem Kill-A-Ton Collection disc 3
The Godfather Trilogy (Silva Screen)
$1 each

Fun fact: I found discs 1 and 2 of the Kill-A-Ton collection earlier this year. I left them behind. Goddamnit! Still, that CD contains one full Duke Nukem expansion (Duke It Out in DC) and two random mission packs (Duke Extreme, Duke! Zone II.)

Jeff The Drunk, well, it looked stupid. And I saw it at my local dollar store for a while. I figured I'd get it while I was at the flea market.


Groundhog Day soundtrack
Deep Dish: A Promotional DVD (new)
$2

NEEEEEEEEED! *punch*
Plus that Deep Dish DVD was strange looking. I liked the uh, remixers a long time ago so I figured I'd pick it up to see what that was about.


Reel Horror (new)
No Blood No Tears (ADV, new)
Terry Moore: Paradise Found (new)
$1 each

Reel Horror looks incredibly stupid. No Blood No Tears... eh. And I like Terry Moore's art so I picked it up to see what that's about.


Duke Caribbean: Life's a Beach (new)
Star Wars Rebellion (boxed w/manual) & bonus Star Wars: The Annotated Screenplay book
$5 total

Yes, I found two Duke Nukem expansions today. This one is apparently fairly rare. And new, to boot. o_O The bottom of the shrinkwrap is torn open but it's still new. Uh, whoopee.

[ncman071]

i just received a nintendo toploader system with the dogbone and hookups and a later model sega master system with 2 controllers, hookups and hangtime/safari hunt in the mail....via collectorscardsandgames.com

very happy

[fahlim003]

Found Fortress at a local mom&pop I'd only frequented once before, several years ago. They still had a sealed DKC Player's Choice for 169.99. Thankfully, Fortress was 5 bucks new, I doubt I'll find it cheaper anywhere else. The delay by going unplanned to this game shop helped me land Twilight Princess at a Value Village later on for 4 dollars which had just been brought out.

[SEGA_Queen]

I traded a few things at my local game shop, including the copy of FFVII I found a couple of weeks ago. I used the credit to get a sealed copy of Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana.

[SamuraiSmurfette]

Blockbuster was having a trade-in deal on DVD's (minimum $4)
So I piled up a bag of crap and came home with these.



Fable 2 $5
Fable 3 $30
Life Aquatic/Rescuers/Spirited Away $14 all 3
Memories/Hitchhiker's BBC miniseries $7 for both

[ScourDX]

Crap I've been looking for that for a while. Nice pickup.

[camarotuner]

Dreamcast controller - 7 bucks
Friday the 13th for NES loose - 3 bucks

No picture because, well, ain't worth the effort when that's all you find lol. On the plus side the friday cart is freakin flawless. Wish they all looked this good.

[Zama]

A nice sale a while ago ^_^



+ Sega Genesis Model 1 with AC power adapter, RF cable, and 5 controllers (Overall, near mint condition)
+ About 36 genesis games (including three complete games; condition of game carts varies to brand new to decent)
+ Game Genie
+ Valkyrie Profile (Complete and in good condition)

[understatement]

I got a few things the first weekend of April finally after a long dry spell.



Final Fantasy II (CIB)
Chrono Trigger (box, game, misc. inserts)
All the PSone games (CIB)


The price wasn’t like some of this months finds but I don’t think I did to bad at about $140 for the lot.

Most of this came from one guy and supposedly he will be bringing out some more games this weekend a few being Dragon Warrior I~IV CIB so I hope that pans out.

*Edit* Hmm, the pic is working on my end, I can’t get to any image hosting sites (work blocks them :/ and my internet is out at the house for now) I’ll try one more time with the file attach on the forums if it doesn’t work the list is:

Tengen Tetris (loose)
Resent Evil Survivor
Legend of Mana
Legend of Legaia
The Legend of Dragoon (Non-GH)
