2nd Edition, May 1978

Oops, I was actually mixing up the Monster Manual and Deities and Demigods. One of the latter has a revision that makes the earlier version worth more. I know just enough about old D&D stuff to mix things up and make myself look stupid.

Honestly, I know nothing about AD&D other than they were old, there was alot of them, and they were cheap. My wife has looked them up and speculates the lot is worth around $400, but thats just speculation.

Spider (Disc Only, PS1) - 1
Sword of Mana (No Label, GBA) - 1
NES With 2 Games - 14
8 Complete Playstation Games & Misc Nintendo Manuals - 30

Spider & Sword of Mana I got the last few weeks and forgot to picture them, both asking price. The 3 N64 games I got with a $20 system & game case which I forgot to take out of said game case for the picture. The NES was $10 and says it works off and on and the games were $4 each but took $14. The guy who had the Playstation games wanted me to make him an offer when I asked about the price so I rounded up 8 games and offered $30. The manuals were .50 each but he let me have all of them since I was buying games from him.

SATURDAY I RACED AT
http://www.sandyhookspeedway.com/
I learned later that the main flea market was closed that day so I’m glad I went Racing..
Friends of mine went Garage Sale Picking in a Town Wide Sale in Clifton NJ..

Sunday I worked (early only) at a Small Flea Market with NO PARKING...
I actually got into it with a guy about 375 pounds as he tried to Drive through my family to grab a parking spot..

HOT DAY and the pleasant smell of what’s dead in the Passaic River didn’t make for a nice stay..


The COOLEST thing saw was one of those Rental Baby Carriages from Local Malls...(where’d they steal that from)

I met a VERY NICE Digital Member at the market whom actually came there to meet me to buy some of the last items I picked up..


The things I bought..(all for sale)











I bought this box for $20.00...why,I dunno....Maybe wanted to save all these SEALED VHS from the Dump..I sell lots of DBZ items so maybe they will sell..

... what the hell? I've seen boxes with mostly the same contents a few times at my local flea market. I always thought the guy kept bringing the same box all the time. Now I'm not so sure...

First photo.
$8 for the three N64 games and the import PS2 memory card at a Goodwill

Second photo.

I got these from a Sport Card,Sports Memorabilia vendor ..He had a bunch of other sealed VHS tapes on top of these,Elmo..I put the other stuff to the side as I don’t need any more Elmo VHS tapes ..The vendor was nice I simply explained I was going to resell them and needed to buy them at a price that I could at least make profit on as I avoid VHS..He was doing the same thing,he bought them cheaper to make a few bucks on..He sold one out of the lot that he said was so called rare so he made his money back ...I don’t know about that story as I had already bought the lot..

What I can’t seem to do with these is make the picture when you line them up as they aren’t a series line up..

The weird thing about these is: I’m researching these today and I can’t find some of these on ebay via the version I have..UNCUT Version or with Collectable Card included..none like that on ebay ..
One Tape has the same cover as an other but it’s another version of the same thing.

So I’m kinda in a stump on price to list at..

I think the price gouging at the local goodwills is finally slowing down.

Found these 2 for 3 bucks a piece

Franz Electric Metronome - $1
Sony Sports Walkman - $7
Medal of Honor Warfighter - $1
Star Wars: Battlegrounds Saga - $2

the rest are orphans - .25/ea




All AD&D Stuff, $11.

I see a seemingly good looking copy of Unearthed Arcana in that stack. Reminds me how beat up my copy is.

I was thrift store shopping in and around Shreveport, Louisiana last week and ended up finding a decent amount of stuff. It's not all that much, but it's still more than I've found in the Dallas area all freakin' year.



An Atari Flashback 4 for $3.99, Summer Games and Ms. Pac-Man for $2.99 each, the Casper the Friendly Ghost board game (from 1958) for $1.99, the Genesis third-party arcade stick (for playing the Flashback since it didn't have controllers itself) for $3.99, Tetris for the CD-i for $3, and the two Nintendo console games for $3 each.

Also not pictured, a boxed electronic game from the '80s called Name That Tune (instructions came with it but no play money) for $3.99.

And lastly, I picked up this canvas bag (stuffed with '70s era K-Mart branded yarn) at a Goodwill for $6.99. If you're wondering, the design is based on some Odyssey 2 commercials from back in the day about how the keyboard made the console far better than the Atari 2600.



I also came across this Super Pac-Man cocktail cabinet out at a flea market, but (a) didn't have the money to get it, (b) didn't have the skill to restore it, and (c) didn't have any way of getting something that big home.

I picked these up yesterday while I was out in Salt Lake. Three of them from a reseller and two from a Goodwill. All the discs are mint and I only paid $20 for all five. Pretty happy about that. Now, if it only happened more often.



These showed up in the mail yesterday. I'm pretty excited to play through Super R-Type. Sadly I think I overpaid for Word of Illusion. But I'm happy to have a manual for Super Off Road now.

Today's finds.

I paid $20 for everything except the Pop'n controller. The Pop'n controller was purchased from a forum member on a different site, and I paid a lot for it lol.

Got this is the mail today. Paid $50 for it. I just wanted it as it was like near mint CIB!

[InsaneDavid]

Very nice official Pop'n controller, Enmity. I'd love to upgrade to a Konami or DJ Dao one day but my Dekstop Arcade ASC is fine for now.
