October 2012 Finds

[Kitsune Sniper]

Ugh, my post didn't go through.

I found two sealed PS2 Memory Cards (official) for three bucks each, and a PS3 Memory Card Adapter thing for two bucks. Can I use that thing to copy files to and from my memory cards?

Should be able to. Unless Sony locked out standard USB modes.

You can copy files to the PS3 but not back to the memory cards themselves with it.

There's a way. Some folks figured out how to use it to copy the whole softmod bootloader thing to cards... and there's a way to copy PS1 saved games too but it's a pain in the arse to do.

For PS1 saves I would just use a DexDrive. My backwards compatible PS3 could read and write both PS1 and PS2 cards without any issues though. I've never seen PC software for that adapter though, that would be sweet beans.

I haven’t been able to hit any flea markets or garage sales lately,between racing,weather,closed,working,kids sick it’s been impossible..
But I have been keeping up with friends pick ups..
Today I was called on a find but I wasn’t happy with the price so I told him to pass...

A friend visited a Consignment shop that was a total bust..(you gotta try)

Yesterday I had a van drop off of misc. stuff,second to third party finds..These items found throughout a few weeks at flea markets or garage sales ...I had to ask my friend yesterday,if your giving me this stuff for this amount,and you paid this amount(making money) then my goodness your picker must be getting stuff for virtually nothing..

This stuff all has to be sold ..as soon as I can get it listed on eBay..

Here’s my Pickings..

Free Wii System Box
Nintendo 64 Pokémon System With Expansion Pak..
HD DVDS (sealed)
MISC. PS2,Xbox Sports games (for eBay lot sale)
Empty FOSSIL Watch Tins(I actually used to get a watch a year from my Mom for Christmas so I have some tins of my own to add to this sale..
Misc.wires.
DVDS

MAHJONG Set ..it’s so heavy,I may sell it in pieces..
Bag of Game manuals
LCD Games in white boxes..
Dead Battery Pokémon games (repair and sell
Xbox 360,Will games for testing then selling at a flea market...(several are keepers)

The drop off boxes..


Spread Out






Yesterday I ran into a store with a big clearance sale:
I picked up three big sterilite bins with lids, for 50 cent each.
And this stuff for 25 cent each

[Videogamerdaryll]

Heh. Um.

I picked up sealed copies of:

Adobe Acrobat 7 Standard - $5
Adobe Acrobat 3D 1.0 - $5
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition (25 CAL, beat up box) - $16

That's $100, $200 and $500 on eBay.

I also picked up a used Windows XP Professional with SP2 for five bucks. And a few CDs, but nothing too weird.

Still, holy crap... my sister's been going with me to the flea market these past few weeks and I keep telling her she brings me good luck, but she doesn't believe me...

Good Score on the sealed stuff..

I got a call this morning from a guy/picker found..a guy selling a bunch of Microsoft Windows Software/office Cheap but 'not sealed..
I ddn't go for it because everytime I put something up on ebay that's MAC or Microsoft Windows Not New Sealed.=Ebay takes it down on me..I can't list any of it any of t...I have a whole folder of this stuff that I don't know what to do with now..Is there a way to sell this stuff not sealed...?

... The crap?

They only take down OEM and bundle stuff - things that have to be sold with computer hardware. They used to do this to me all the time but they've backed off lately.

eBay does complain if you mention the condition of the item in the title. "Not new sealed"? that's... a big flag, I think.

Ya know how I feel is..Someone Reported Mine=that lil prick with lots of time on their hands .another seller

..other sellers had the same thing I had listed also Used..not sealed and>mine gets taken down...every Mac or Microsoft Used software I had up used was taken down..
though I had some some sales on others I had listed and made some nice profit ..having all that taken down really bit..I won't buy it not sealed nor list it again,even sealed today I am fearfull...
Ebay just does things that boggle me sometimes..here I see loads of MVS bootleg games up,they stay listed,sold..

I read up on policy and it seems they can take all kinds of things down...Someethings they can take down make no sence cause there are millions of them listed..they would kill thier own market..

I'd say before listing make sure you can,they seems to be getting more picky with things..

I list my Gamecube Freeloader,Bam they remove it..Yet I did a search for it and found a dozen listed at the time..I get emails for new listings of this disc.
What pisses me off about Ebay is,you should it a pop up warning if your not supposed to list something,..they let you search,find it listed then days later take it down...

This is what they sent me on the last software removed.
MC999 eBay Listing Removed: Copyright Violation - Unauthorized Item (696473158)

[Kitsune Sniper]

... That's the BSA. That's not a person, that's a legit organization.

You were probably flagged for doing this too many times... can you send me pictures of the stuff you're talking about? I can probably tell you what you can and can't sell.

Backyard Football 2002
Backyard Soccer
Clifford The Big Red Dog Thinking Adventures (Already owned this )

Several other discs were found in the cases of other games including...

Playhouse Disney: Stanley Tiger Tales
Reader Rabbit Kindergarten
Reader Rabbit Preschool x2

The one I was hoping for, Jump-Start Preschool was missing a disc. Still $11 and some change for all these titles isn't bad at all.

Free EA downloads. I combined their survey email for "$20 off Origin" with a slickdeals promo.

Chose Mercenaries 2, Darkspore, and Saboteur.

[Kitsune Sniper]

Christ, why don't they ever send me those codes

[Cornelius]

Pretty good luck at the thrift yesterday where all the stuff on the right was from:



Zelda was 8.99 but it was 25% off day. The other games were... less. Don't remember each of them offhand. I think the Logitech PS2 controller was 4, same with the Saitek joystick. Total from the thrift was 42 including a $6 eliptical trainer. Then stopped at a garage sale and got some Micro Machines for a quarter, Works 2006 suite for .75, and 4 bags of old little people .25 each.

[Cornelius]

Christ, why don't they ever send me those codes

I got the email as well. You get the code for completing a survey. Checked the slickdeals thing theclaw mentioned, and the code there is the same one I got. So the code is universal, I just don't know if you have to have gotten the survey email to be able to use it or not.

[Kitsune Sniper]

I took a chance and used it last night, and boom, I now own Mass Effect + the only DLC pack they still sell. 19.99 total. I ended up being able to access the US version of the Origin site for some reason, too. Guess that's why it worked for me.

I already own it on Steam but since EA dicked us on DLC over there... Too bad we can't get Bring Down The Sky anymore.
