Damn, ownerizer! Well done! I don't have half that many games, and I have a TG16

I bought one at a Goodwill once, for $2, but it was just the console. I ended up selling it for parts and/or repair for $25, kicking myself for that now. Funny thing was, they had a tub of NES games, mostly commons, some Mario and Zelda. Wanted $9.99/ea, I was like NOPE, and wife came back with those. A cinder block fell out of my ass, and we tore that place apart for the console. No luck.

The n64 stuff was hooked up by PeteDiak and Milo/Squishy hooked the Saturn and SNES stuff

I love the sound and graphics quality of Earthworm Jim 2 on the Saturn, but the half-assed CG for the time, is just horrible. If it had the "cow" intermission like the SNES version, it would have felt right.

I KILLED IT this weekend. I was VERY happy with my finds.
...
Games were $2.99/ea and the joystick controller was $4.99. The cord is a little loose, so I'll probably crack it open and super glue it back into the stress reliever.

Me and the wife LOOKED and LOOKED for the console and associated, I even asked someone who worked at the ARC and they said that the games came in yesterday and that was all they had. The pins on the cards are PERFECT, seems like they have never been played, they all have their associated plastic condoms too!

Awesome score! I'd recognize those blue stickers anywhere! Hope that wasn't the ARC in Colorado Springs because I didn't go this weekend and I'd be kicking myself if I missed that

I know it was for charity, but... Damn! who tries to sell an EMPTY BOX for $5?!

You would be surprised....I agree..I see it all the time..Flea market people will sell you poop if they could..

But this lady is so nice...she sells all kinds of donated to her for Charity stuff,sells it and gives the money to charity.She has no idea about what she sells,lots of things are given to her the same day by people stopping by who know her..
She's been known for her charity work for years she's actually the only person at the fleas who does it.that I know of.... ..She didn't actually have a price on it..The stuff on her table is make an offer donation and take it..I kinda got caught off guard,I was looking at her table,scooted over to the box & looked in the box out of curiousity..,she said make an offer and take it ..Feeling guilty as heck I didn't want to offer her a buck so I gave her a $5

I actually have three empty Black game cube boxes right now with some black gamecubes to fill them but I just don't have the time to get to it as I find no money in selling them,I prefer to just leave the box system displayed on my shelves.

This was actually the one in the middle of the ghetto off Parker and 225 in Denver. I always do fairly well over there for some reason.

If it's a chain, I suggest you hit all of them in your area, the console could have gotten separated at their distribution hub. That happened to me, I found a bunch of PAL Playstation games in a thrift, but no console. The next day off work I went to the other locations and found the PAL PS1 to play them on.

[Sunnyvale]

Met my board game guy kinda late tonight. Tested it and got it listed with more games and all the fixings.



Keeping the Telecenter, till I find a nicer one. $40.

Edit: The Telecenter has the lid, I forgot to show it. Also got manuals for most of the games, and the owner's manual for the console. Keeping them too.

Today was a good day!!!!

Dollar orange tags at Value Village today.



DtagonballZ, First n Ten, and Classical Baby were a buck. So was Art of War Century of Warfare (cha-ching!). Beta tapes were 1 for the two movies and .50 for the 'protect yer kids' one. It stars Henry Winkler, so I'm there. Babylon 5 Season One was $5, and the loose Saturn games were a buck for all four. The Space Pen Refills were $2 for all of them. OK day so far.

From the November 2011 Finds thread:

That's the sort of thing I put on Amazon for pretty high and just let it sit. Supply and demand are both fairly low, so when someone really wants it they don't have a lot of options. And auction won't necessarily generate lots of bids, though.

Anyway, someone has one on there for 80 right now: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listi...&condition=new I don't know specifically about this game/expansion, so can't really give you a $ amount it would sell for.

That 350 levels thing is basically a bunch of stuff downloaded from the internet and stuck in a CD. Not exactly legal or in high demand, but you'll find a buyer eventually.

I listed it for $50 BiN OBO, and it sold for the $50. Not the $80 others want, but it's gone, and I got more money to spend looking for the next (?). Thanks Cornelius and Kitsune Sniper!

Nice stuff.someone was asking me yesterday for atari stuff..
I think I have one of those Telecenter in the box somewhere,,I hope it didn't go out with the flood..I know I have one in the box for NES in the hall though.Never decided to sell either as they are so big to ship.

Got mine in the mail today too. It is a very nice item! First time I have hit Platinum level.
Only find today was a CIB Elemental Gearbolt for the PS1 @ Goodwill for $1.99. Not worth a ton but I like the shiny Working Designs artwork.
The game only game I found on my hunt yesterday with Sunnyvale was NHL Blades Of Steel '99 for the N64 @ Value Village for $2.99.
