March 2012 Finds

[Kitsune Sniper]

I can't find much of anything anymore. Not even music! It's that bad!

I did buy another VHS deck, a JVC S3912U S-VHS. It was five bucks. Finding a VHS deck with native S-Video capabilities is very rare so I figured, why not. Also, the other bigass VHS I bought a few months back doesn't like some tapes (it squeaks) so a backup wouldn't hurt.

They seem to sell for $40-$80 eBay. Weird. I didn't find the remote, but I've got my Logitech one so no biggie.

Here's a combination of finds from the end of February and a couple days ago:



More bulking up of my NES collection with $2.50 games. Nothing too spectacular, but with my collection, I already have a large amount of the cheap, common quality games, so I've actually been leaving behind some pretty good games just because I have them already and they aren't worth reselling. This time I nabbed:

Tom & Jerry (w/ manual and sleeve)
Silk Worm (w/ manual and sleeve)
Airwolf (w/ sleeve)
The Legend of Kage (w/ sleeve)
Elevator Action
Total Recall
Wrath of the Black Manta
Adventures of DinoRiki

Eternal Darkness for GameCube was $5.

The other stuff was from a couple days ago. The disc-based games were $2.99, and the Final Fantasy Tactics Advance guide was $0.99. I already have the Japanese version of Street Fighter Alpha 3 (which I think is loose) and I have a loose disc of Bushido Blade, but I figured I'd upgrade. The loose Bushido Blade will make decent fodder the next time I need to sell an extra PS1, at least. I already have Spyro the Dragon too, but PS1 Spyro games usually pull in a little cash so I figured I'd flip it. The Complete Ultima VII for PC is for my fiance. I'm always proud of myself when I manage to find a Nintendo Power guide since they aren't easy to spot on a shelf like Prima and BradyGames guides, plus I really like Nintendo's guides. I actually wouldn't mind having a complete set of them someday.

I got 2 PSones for $1 each, an NES AC Adapter for $1 and Zelda II for $5

[Vinnysdad]

Pre-ordered Assassins Creed III just to get the pre-order bonus tin case. P.O.S. isnt a Playstation 3 size case so it doesnt look right next to the rest of the games.



Gotta find something worthwhile this month. It cant all be shit can it?

Yesterday I came across the European Mega Drive version of Super Monaco GP and the 3DO version of Twisted (Demo - Not For Resale) because they were both oddities I hadn't seen before. And today I came across the Genesis/Sega CD combo for $5 (no cables), Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (PC) for 99¢ (for my nephew), the Coleco Amaze-A-Tron (no box but it seems to be complete) for $1.99, and the Atari 2600jr with all the stuff around it (two power supplies!) for $29.99. It was higher than I would normally pay for an Atari console, but I really wanted those blue joysticks. I'd seen ads for them back in the day but never saw one in person until now, so I splurged.

Went all over the place today and didn't come back with much of anything. Here's what I found, tho:

T-Mek (32x) - CIB but the box is beat up - $6
Several Dr. Seuss books for my son - $1 each
Blue VMU (new sealed) - $3
The Ring Terror's Realm (DC) - $4
Nightmare Creatures II (DC) - $4

[Jmagic87]

sweet find on that box of bowman some of those boxes can go for up to $100 if sealed is it bowman or bowman chrome (sports card collector as well as video games )

never knew that copy of NGE: The End of Evangelion was so expensive i see them at my local savers from time to time for 1.99-3.99 i guess i should start picking them up

[Kitsune Sniper]

Fun day today.


$4 total.


$3 for Die Hard 4 Unrated, $5 + tax for the other two movies. They say they're used but they're actually still sealed.


And I got this from a forum. It's basically like new and it has a transferable lifetime warranty. Woot.

[Tokimemofan]

A squashed dreamcast av cable $1
An Xbox 360 Component/AV cable with 3ft Toslink monster cable $1

[bunnybum]

It's been a while but I finally decided to go out again today. Found the following:



Outpost (PC, complete)
Shivers (PC, complete)
Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (GC, complete)
..also a couple of movies and a TMNT magazine

Always nice to find bigbox Sierra games

[starchildskiss78]

Went to the flea market today to unload my PSone (no need for it since I have a PS3 now). I got a measly $5 for it, but didn't care because they're not worth much anyway and I didn't want to have to go through the effort of unloading it on eBay or Craigslist or even here. (I know...too lazy to get the camera and take pictures.)

I did find that one of my favorite vendors moved and had an improved collection. He is one of those vendors that likes to learn about what stuff is really worth and price accordingly. We were talking video games and just having a nice conversation when Ridge Racer in the original clear longbox caught my eye. I also noticed Spider-Man (1991) for the Genesis and X-Men for the Genesis. He told me to make him an offer. He threw in a NES Advantage that I was eying. I got the whole lot for $20. The Genesis games had the box and game. I am now hunting down the manuals. Already found the manual for X-Men. It looks like Spider-Man will be a little trickier. I'll keep looking though!

[Videogamerdaryll]

Nice finds..


No hunts for me..


My friend came over to show me what he bought at the DP store..

[Zama]

I went shopping at my local goodwill stores and a few yard sales yesterday and found a lot of cool stuff! Warning: wall of pics down below!



All the books were .25 cents each at my local goodwill store



This one was found at a yard sale for $2



This book was included with the software above.



This whole lot was from another yard sale; $14 total. I also tried the Authentication key for Starcraft II and it worked ^_____________^





The last two pics were my favorite finds so far at another goodwill and the total price was $1.89 with a student discount <3

All items were in excellent to near mint condition and mostly complete :3

This was the first yardsale I hit this year. I didn't want to go when I woke up at 7 am because it was really cold. It felt like winter weather and was only 33 degrees when I left. A mere two days earlier it had gotten up to 73 but not today. And I got there alittle early so I had to wait around as they were bringing stuff out. I bought what was probably the best of what was available. I passed on alot of other games, including more Nes, Atari and Dreamcast games. The Dreamcast games were all disc only and I even passed on a copy of Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 but it was scratched as hell and looked to have two small cracks in it. As far as condition some of the games I picked up were better than others but it took me around an hour to clean all the contacts and carts. Theres nothing of particular note from what I bought but it was an ok start to yardsale season.




Little Big Planet 2 strategy guide x2 one cent each
XBL 1 Month Gold/480 Points card(360) free
007 Bloodstone(360) $8.98
Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands(PS3) $5.98
Castlevania:Lords of Shadow(360) x2 $8.98
The Dollhouse season 2 dvd $5
Alice: Madness Returns(360) $11.98
EA Sports: MMA(360) $5.98

And I of course had to hit up Target again. They had a few of the same games from last time but clearanced at much cheaper prices. I definitely wish I would have held off buying Alice for $20 a few months ago. The strategy guides were from Best Buy and the XBL card was free because the Microsoft rep loves me
