    Thank you for posting that info..

    You see when I get these I always throw them in a bin or box to mess with later as I don’t think I can sell these on ebay .

    the Grey Super Joy was given to me to resell on ebay ,I had found 1 listed when I went looking but I’m too scared ebay will pull the auction so I didn’t bother..
    Here’s some I rounded up today..from those bins..



    SORRY ABOUT THE BIG PICTURES,PHOTOBUCKETS NEW SITE STINKS.




    I have more of those TV MAXX things burried somewhere..

    I got this on Tuesday for free off of Craigslist. The ad stated that it needed a new tv. And was free to anyone who would pick it up. Got it home and the tv worked just fine, just had to replace the controllers and clean it up a bit. It doesnt have any promotional advertisement on it and has a spot for it on the base. Wondering if anyone has seen one like it or owns one and could tell me what it is suppose to have on it.

    Nice collection of Powerjoy bootleg Famicoms! Seriously, before you sell plug them in. Definitely will have the expensive Tengen Tetris on at least a couple of the units. There are additional Famicom games that did not get a US cut, some very well done.

    Sad story. I actually found a used blue Power Joy console at a store a few years ago. Problem is, there were 2 power adapters in the box it was in, and I grabbed the wrong one. The battery pack wouldn't fit the batteries (from what I remember), so I went with the power adapter. There was smoke.

I know some of those games were from the ambassador program but I'm not sure how many free games came with that program. Regardless, this system is pretty loaded so I decided to keep it after all

    there were 20 games on the ambassador program, 10 NES and 10 GBA games. So 5 of those must be paid downloads.

    The PS1 games were $5.99 at Goodwill; both of the Tomb Raider games are still sealed. The 3DS New SMB 2 that Target didn't want anymore was $14.99. Not pictured is the GameCube Super Mario Sunshine disc I found in an Animal Crossing case at a different Goodwill.

    I'd sure like to know where you find these magical Goodwill stores that sell newly releases games for less than half of retail, when my local Goodwill charges five bucks for a beat up NBA Jam Genesis cart.

    I once found a New Super Mario Bros for DS for $3. Besides that, I never see anything "current". I do see a lot of cool retro stuff cheap, though. (Knock on wood).

    Pretty much all of the Goodwills I go to in Los Angeles are carrying some variation of Target dump off/tax credit (?) items in recent months. As a veteran thrifter, it was indeed odd to start seeing so many current-gen games showing up at Goodwill (finding a 3DS Steel Diver a couple weeks after release was the beginning of this current wave), but I've now seen a few Wii U games, and the random sealed 3DS game is becoming a more common sight. And every Goodwill seemingly has at least 10 sealed Xbox 360 DJ Hero 2 games at this point in time. Every one.

    Saturdays pick Ups

    at least 100 vendors,I spent hours digging through bins not finding anything that I look for..
    I ran into one vendor who had a bunch of beat up SNES/NES carts...He made me a deal,take them all for $2.00 each\begging me to buy them....I told him the truth,none of them were worth that,not worth $1.00 each,not worth 50 cent each..
    Then he has a super clean NES...$50.00..pass


    ............PICK UPS.
    Smashed PS2..$10.00(was $20.00
    XBOX 360 HD DVD Player,New in Box $15.00(was $20.00

    Mattel Classic Basketball $1.00
    Game Boy Advance $3.00

    Guncon II $5.00

    NES Dragon Warrior II $2.00
    SNES Darius $2.00

    Atari Jaguar TEMPEST box..$1.00
    I found this in a mess of xbox games,No game in the box,I asked one of the two vendors if he had the game somewhere else and he suggested I look around-in the huge mess...I looked around and could not find it,so I asked the the vendor if he wanted to sell the box like it is..If you get a vendor who is nice they will say just take it...
    He handed it to the other vendor,mumbling in another language,and the other vendor looked at me pissed like as I stole the game mumbling back in another language,then he pulled the insert out and threw it all to the ground with anger...
    At that point I’d had usually walked away and I WISH I knew the language that they were speaking(maybe Arabic) ..but I wanted to SAVE this stuff from the garabage so I rouded it al up and asked again if he wanted to just sell the box......$1.00
    They had a Gamegear system with what loked to be ears on he side,some type of rechargeable(dead) battery..$15.00,pass..

    One of my main goodwills is literally RIGHT next to just press play, so they probably send someone to snap up good stuff.

    Today they had piles of new skylanders starter packs on wii for $40 and a stack of copies of Spirit camera on 3DS for $20, but those really weren't deals.

    Good to know. I can also start using my Nintendo coins to download some free games to add to what is already on there.

    Because I go to so many local and non-local Goodwills I see these all the time. They are a mixture of Target returns and Target salvages. The salvages are suppose to be damaged but many times this just might mean a tear in the factory seal. Not long ago I got a new 360 kinect game a month or so after it came out in retail as a $10 Target salvage at Goodwill. It was still factory sealed and the only thing wrong was that the case was cracked(which I switched out once I opened it to make it look completely new). You probably just happen to be near Goodwills that either don't get as many Target video game returns/salvages or somebody else might keep beating you to them.

    Picked up some good SNES deals at a retro game shop the other day. I believe the prices were from a couple years ago and they didn't change them when they brought them out of storage.

    Megaman X = 9.99
    Knights of the Round = 14.99
    Pocky and Rocky = 11.99
    Cybernator = 4.99

    Ill definitely am not going to sell these anytime soon and I know the prices will probably drop by then, but its been a long time since I've been this excited to play games I've picked up.

    I posted about the odd glitch my Pocky game does in the Classic Gaming section, but I haven't found it to be too much of a hindrance and so far its kinda fun and something strange I can show people.
