December 2015 Finds

[Tanooki]

6 days into the month and not a post yet. I don't expect it to be all that amazing considering the time of year as far as having lots of posts.

I'll start it off, paid $10 today at a goodwill (yeah I was shocked) and ended up with a few nice things in a zip bag. It was unmarked, thought the worst when it went into the back to be asked about. There was a red/black DSi with no charger, problem is the power switch was snapped inside so it was non-reparable. I did harvest the battery and plate from it and the 2 bottom plastic pieces of the lower frame which I'll be shoving on ebay to recoup the price along with an ESPN Kids Baseball cart I don't want.

What did come out of it was very very nice copies of Pokemon FireRed, Mario Kart Super Circuit, Golden Sun (which I've put an hour on already), and Sims Bustin' Out which is a decent little game.

I won't be spending anything for half the month because of some bs that i have to go to court for now.

I'm not going to elaborate though i can't stand drama and don't want it on here.

The DS though. Power switches are replaceable, I've not seen a black/red one before. I might make sure it wasn't a special bundle edition before tearing it apart

Miss the good old days of the forum


The weekend was a bit slow because I couldn't afford to go hunting. I bought Xenoblade Chronicles X Special Edition.

Sunday had the chance to go to a small market near my house and bought 2 games:

Final Fantasy V Advance cart for 11usd
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance Cart for 12 usd

The seller gave me 4 non-working n64 games for free in hope I can revive them: Kirby, 2 perfect dark and ISS98

Cheers

It's a normal one, I had the color back in the day. I don't see how that switch can be replaced as it's held on with 2 to 4 hair width bits of metal into the board. I looked at it before I gave it the boot. I wanted to recover it, even tried to reattach the piece it was just too small to take hold as it was the teeny plastic bump that goes into the bigger plastic bit within the metal cradle with the bits attaching it to the board.



eskobar -- nice finds and nice luck if even one of them ends up working.

Man I haven't posted in this type of thread, let alone go out of my way to a thrift/goodwill/flea market in forever but for whatever reason I did stop by the Wallingford flea market and to my surprise I not only found some gaming stuff but it was all had at a great price! Most of this will probably just be used for trades or selling:

Super NES, non-yellowed console with two OEM controllers with trolls, Mario world and link to the past - $30

I was more than pleased with that pick up when I noticed the same seller had a giant bin of mostly Atari games, systems and tons of misc cables and wires. I peek in to my surprise find mega man and super Mario 3 for NES, paid $10 for the both of them.

May as well be my find of the year since I don't ever get out there anymore

I found a set of Wii cables and a stand for 5 bucks and Tetris plus on psx for 2

I shouldn't be out buying stuff since i had to take a loan out to pay fines but i might have it paid off next month

Nice haul ScourDX...good to see you posting again.

I haven't found much of anything lately. I picked up a bunch of Skylanders SuperChargers characters and vehicles from GameStop sales as well as LEGO Dimensions on the cheap (well cheap for that game) on PS4. My buddy wants to go up to the local flea market the day after Christmas so mebbe I might find something then.
