If you check out my Forsale page everything I have there I found in my bedroom closet that I sold off in 2010. Kinda a new find for me that has been lost for 3 yrs.
From Odyssey 2 to WII. I wish i knew about this stuff years ago.

Yesterdays Delivery:


This a (part) combination of several of last weeks pick ups from one friend.
..another picker,His mom past away,God Rest Her Soul..
..another picker bought perfume that though I do sell it wasn’t worthwhile selling on ebay.
and another picker missed out on a FREE working Jurassic Park Pinball machine..(though think the guy was playing a April Fools Joke On People.

the way it works i\when I'm not out picking myself.
My friend goes to estate sales,Garage Sales,Newspaper Listings-sales,Cleanouts,Meets Clean out People,Flea Markets.
if he sees something he does not know a price for he calls me.
(UGH!!! He recently passed up a bunch of NEO GEO AES/Home System Games...(he didn’t call me,NOOOOO!!!!)

I give him a tad more $$ then what he paid to make his picking worthwhile,he also picks for the same stuff I to so I don’t see everything he gets..
I can’t actually set a price paid on every single item in the lot I got yesterday because we work out a final price on delivery.
Everything is always for sale however.





The Atari 2600 was $30.00 with around 43 games ..it needs the AV black wire that I’ve changed before but I need to locate(online)..RF I have..
This system I’m to test and sell right away..I may add another 30 games to it’s lot but I have to figure out a price...t’s already in a big box.

DREAMCASTs I need AVs..again something I need to locate online..


DELL Monitor was a loaner returned...

photo shop is a loaner










Today: my friend went to check out a load of Xbox 360 Games so I’m looking to hear what he picked up..

Give one of those Dreamcasts a fair chance if you don't already have one.
Megaman Zero 3 might be hard, but try it.

Forget the Hey You Pikachu mic. Won't miss that.

Edit:
Those Gundam games and Poison Pink are in now.
Luckily the one includes a region 2 bonus DVD. It'll be good for compatibility testing.

Nabbed a loose SNES inspector gadget off of Amazon for $6.25. Seller claims it's from a non-smoker's house, tested working and in good condition.

I actually have an interesting story about this game.

My old daycare used to have a super nintendo. They had a bunch of games for it, and we played them a ton...then, one day, I dug a cartridge out of the back of the drawer.

It was inspector gadget.

The "veteran" kids told me they'd been trying to get it to work for years, but it was hopelessly broken. Using a method I called "Nintendo CPR" involving both inserting and removing the cartridge rapidly, as well as blowing on it, I spent a good ten minutes breathing life back into the thing. The others laughed at me and doubted it'd do anything.

Then the title screen came up. The other kids were dumbfounded and overjoyed to have a "new" game to play. Of course, I got a longer turn to play than everyone else since I got it working, but all the kids were fine with that since it *was* working.

I'm happy to add the game to my collection now. It's essentially bonk jumping with the gameplay of castlevania crossed with ghosts n goblins.

Thanks,I have a nice Black Dreamcast on my shelf,I have the original box"somewhere...I bought it back in the day new... I'm going to sell it too,I just have to much stuff and need to clear it out.
I ordered some AV wires onlime,just waiting for them to arrive.
If I could actually sell all the stuff I get I'd be golden..I just can't sell it as fast as I get it..(busy,work,3 kids,Racing).

Today i'm working on an ebay listing for a Pokemon N64 System..comes with Hey You Pikachu,the VRU and Mic...I was going to throw the second mic in as spare...however I just got another VRU that needs the mic so I guess it'll be of use..

Nice! I've always wanted a Sega Sports DC but they seem to run more than I feel like paying for yet another console so I keep hoping I'll find one locally.

Haha, I saw that Stan Lee DVD at the dollar tree, too. I was debating getting it for a friend of mine who's a HUGE spiderman/marvel fan, but figured he already had, and, well, he did :P

Picked this up today from one of my regular aftermarket shops. The prices online are all over the place but I *think* I made out ok?



Paid 40.

Yes, you did well! I would have paid that in a second to get a nice, complete copy in person rather than dealing with ebay, shipping, etc. Sweet deal!

Yeah, not too bad for locally. If the longbox is in nice shape I'd say it's a good deal.

Based on the manual (no foil embossing), it should be the first print of the game that was done by Sega before Working Designs started printing variants.

My local shops only carried the VHS version for some reason. Ugh.

I found my Sega Sports DC at a goodwill, are they typically rarer than the white variant?

Kinda? They're definitely harder to find but they're not really rare. Generally you can tack on like 10-20 bucks to the value of the dreamcast if it's the black one.

Just nabbed Battletoads/Double Dragon for genesis Buy it now at $7.99. Fun times will ensue.

[The Adventurer]

Went out to do a little game hunting this afternoon. The plan was to hit a used book store looking for cheap stratagy guides, but that was a bust. Ended up at the Goodwill I don't get to very often. This Goodwill has a glass case full of pricer items near the front, and inside it two things catch my eye. Both are black bags with zippers. Really they could be anything, but one says 'High Frequency' and the other says 'Game Case' (or something). So I get the lady behind the counter to open up the case for me. Low and behold both are Sega Game Gear cases. Each containing A Game Gear system, a power adapter, a Power Back battery pack, and an assortment of games. One had 3 games, the other 6. The lady was nice enough to let me plug each of them in to check that they worked and/or if the displays were bad. One seemed to have kind of dim picture, but the other looked okay. Fortunately the okay looking one had the 6 games (but the shittier quality system case, its made of cheap plastic and its warped and cracked. The other one was much sturdier and in pristine shape). So I went with that one.



Sega Game Gear System - As I said, I feel the display quality is pretty good on this one. I'm not an expert however, I have never owned a Game Gear, and if I've ever actually played one before I've forgotten. Game Boy was my poison of choice as a kid.
Game Gear Power Back - It came attached, but I removed it for the photo, also to make sure there were't any batteries leaking inside the system itself (there weren't). Do you think this thing can still hold a charge? I noticed a switch on the bottom labeled 'Quick/Normal'. I assume that it charges faster in 'Quick' mode, but you can't play it?
Game Gear Power Adapter - Really nice to have.
Ms. Pac-Man (GG)
Ecco - The Tides of Time (GG)
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (GG)
Sonic Chaos (GG) - I hear this is a good Sonic Game?
Virtua Fighter The Animation (GG) - Until I looked it up I actually thought this was some kind of attempt to release a movie or something on the Game Gear. But it turns out it is a game.
Super Columns (GG)

So yeah. I ended up paying $40 all together. And after a little eBay research I realize I may have over paid a little bit (why oh why couldn't Blue Tags have been half off today?) since apparently you can get Game Gear systems for like 15 bucks, and all these games are common as all get out. Still though, I think its a good start to a new console to collect for.
