December 2013 Finds

[Gameguy]

I found quite a bit today, might as well start a new thread for December.

First went to Salvation Army.
iRecord Personal Media Recorder (PMR-100) sealed new for $5.99. There were a few of these but other people got to them first, I got the last one.
Jazz DV153 camcorder loose for $1.99
Flip U2120 camcorder loose for $1.99

Then next door to Value Village, saw a loose Zelda Ocarina of Time gold cart for $12.99 but passed on it. Passed on an N64 console with expansion pak for $24.99, missing the cover to the expansion pak. Did buy a couple items, I'll only bother mentioning the most interesting one.
-Philips SRU8010 remote for $2.99, bagged with some other remote. 20% off today.

Went back to Salvation Army before heading home, found some more stuff just put out. Most discs are a bit scratched.
PS1
-Metal Gear Solid VR Missions -$2.99
PS2
-Street Fighter Anniversary Collection -$2.99
-Silent Hill 2 -$2.99
-Silent Hill 3 -$2.99
-Metal Gear Solid 2 Sons of Liberty -$2.99
-Soul Reaver 2 -$2.99
Gamecube
Resident Evil Zero(missing instructions) -$2.99
Legend of Zelda Windwaker -$2.99

And a large art portfolio case for $1.99. I had a coupon for $5 off if a minimum of $25 was spent, that's why I bought Metal Gear Solid 2, Soul Reaver 2, and the art portfolio. Happy about Silent Hill 2 and 3 as I only had Silent Hill 1 and 4, of course I would have been happier if the discs were perfect but they're not bad.

Hoo boy, do I have a lot to catch up on.
About a month ago, I got to go to Youmacon as part of the Sonic Paradox Panel. Natrually, I had to nab some games there.

Youmacon 2013 finds:

Paperboy (Genesis) - $3 - Cart and Box

Adventure Island II - Lost in Paradise (GB) -$5 - Cart Only

Ghosts N Goblins (GB/C) - $13 - Cart Only (I can't get it to work, though - trying to fix it in the tech help thread)

Monokuma Plush: $20 - SUPER into Danganronpa recently. I know it's overpriced as all hell, but I had to have one.

I finally got a bank account to call my own, so I linked 'er up to paypal and made a test purchase to make sure it'd work for the future.

Gameboy games lot - $18

Including:

Gradius Interstellar Assault
Kirby Tilt N Tumble
Kingdom Crusade
Tamagotchi
Tetris DX
Tetris
Las Vegas Cool Hand
Bases Loaded
Action Play Football
NFL Club 96

listing said "11 games" twice but only listed/showed 10. Still more than worth it, though, since Gradius IE (Nemesis II) has listings at about what I paid for the whole thing. Plus, always wanted to try tilt n' tumble and motion control makes it weird to emulate. I already have a copy of tetris and have no interest in the poker and sports games so they're all resale lot fodder.

Non-game stuff:

Motown Video CD compatible with the Saturn and Phillips CDI - $0.50 (NEW)

GunXSword Anime OST - $0.50 (NEW) (the reason I bought the previous item was to get this as part of a 2-for-$1 FYE deal)

Here's to more finds in the future!

[The Adventurer]

I found a 3 button Philips CD-I gamepad at the local Goodwill. It appears to be unused (the controller cord appears to still have the factory twist tie on it) and complete in box. Can any one confirm if the controller comes loose in the box? Or if it had some kind of packaging to keep it from rattling around? Because it doesn't have any inside box packaging. But it does have the manual.

Edit: oh yeah, payed 3 bucks for it.

^ What the hell is that "deluxe asshole" thing?

[The Adventurer]

Asshole is a card game. You typically play it while drunk.

Interesting lol. As I don't drink that'd explain why I never heard of it.

[Atarileaf]

I think its known in the porn industry as "bleaching"

[SparTonberry]

^ What the hell is that "deluxe asshole" thing?

It's from email spammers.

For those who aren't satisfied with their existing one.

[Kitsune Sniper]

Are we talking about the DP thong model again?

My finds from the last few weeks...



From Goodwill
Philips CD-I Game Pad $3 - I had thought this might be complete in box but it turns out there was a molded plastic packaging that I'm missing. I'd hate to think I left it somewhere on that Goodwill toy shelf... But I believe the controller is unused, because the cable has the factory twist tie still on it. The box is a bit warped but otherwise in pretty good shape. According to E-bay this thing can resell for more then a couple bucks. I'll probably sell it because I have no use for it.
King's Quest V (PC) $2 - Somebody must have unloaded their adventure game collection, because there were a whole bunch of 90s Sierra games at the Goodwill. I snapped up all the ones I could find for my personal Adventure Game collection. King's Quest is dirt cheap, so I'm glad it was only 2 bucks instead of Goodwill's usual $3 standard. Which is kind of weird...
Police Quest Collection (PC) $4 - Another set of games I've never had the pleasure of trying. Will probably never play SWAT.
Quest for Glory Collection (PC) $3 - This goes for something like 15 to 20 on Ebay. So, good price.
Shivers Two: Harvest of Souls (PC) $3 - Mid 90s first person FMV adventure game... Could be good for a laugh.

From GameXchange
Knights of Nightmare (DS) $10 - My town just got a GameXchange, which is rad. Its nice to have a dedicated retro game store, and GameXchange appears to be one of the good ones. I picked this up primarily because its an Atlus RPG (though not developed by Atlus). Apparently goes for 15 to 25 online, so I think I got a nice deal, especially on a blind buy.

From FYE
Tetsujin 28 Vol.1 - 5 (DVD) $25 - Anime. Directed by one of my favorite anime directors. I've always wanted to get my hands on this series. But it was always a bit too expensive. FYE is a bit of a strange bird. They're the last place you can still find old anime DVDs. This is mostly because they over price them like crazy (all of these DVDs have $30 price tags on them). They had all 5 volumes on sale for $5 each. More amazing they had all 5 volumes. Which was REALLY surprising.

Not trying to disappoint, but I'm pretty sure there are 6 volumes to this series so you're still missing one.

Nabbed a pretty good condition loose cart of Streets of Rage 3 for $15 Buy it Now on eBay. It appears to be the third-lowest a copy's gone for on ebay in the past 3 months (one copy went for $10ish and another for $14.50) but seeing as the value seems to have settled into the $22-25 range I'm okay with that price. I'm pretty sure the seller didn't care much about what it was worth, anyway; he has a loose cart of NBA jam up for $15 and a loose Road Rash II for $20

That makes sense, Geneon was always about the 6 and 7 DVD volumes. Not the hardest gap to fill in either. Thanks though! Now I won't be surprised when I get to the end and its still going.

I can remember seeing someone selling a SoR2 cart with a SoR3 case for like $3, someone scribbled out the 3 and wrote II. (hope it was on the outside!)

$16 ebay lot - Super Mario All Stars (SNES), Mario 3 (NES), TMNT 1 (NES), Kid Chameleon (Genesis), Frogger (Genesis) and an N64 gameshark. The listing had "AS IS" in the title, so I sent a few PMs to check the condition of the carts' contacts and his knowledge of the games; he identified the gameshark as a genesis title and actually took screenshots of all the games' contacts (which look decently clean to me, nothing a q-tip and some alcohol won't fix) so there shouldn't be any problems with them. If anything doesn't work right after cleaning, I'll just sell it as nonworking and get a bit o' cash back.

[theclaw]

Yet again some of them I could net a bit of profit for. Might be worth it as I still need a new GPU.
Batman I'd redeemed a Gamestop points coupon toward though.

$5 each:
WWE All Stars (PS3) sealed
007 Blood Stone (360) sealed
Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions (PS3) sealed

$10 each:
Fist of the North Star Ken's Rage 2 (360)
Tomb Raider Trilogy (PS3) sealed
Batman Arkham City GOTY (PS3)

This isn't so much of a find as a good deal. I went to my local Wal-Mart today having decided to finally break down and buy the Mario & Luigi Nintendo 3DS bundle. When I got to the store, I saw that they had some of the Zelda: Link Between Worlds bundles. When I got to the register, they tried to charge me $219 for it and I pointed out that they had a sign up for $199. The guy told me that they had never taken the sign down from last month and had the customer service manager come over to ring it up for me at $199. The real reason that I picked that one out is that my grandson already has the Mario & Luigi game so I can just borrow it if I want.
