    Default 2017 - Yearly Finds Thread

    I know we don't really post finds anymore, and/or we just don't get good scores anymore, but I got this for free from a neighborhood buy/sell facebook group and thought it was worth sharing.

    edit: never owned a 360 before, so I don't know what model this is or anything, but it clearly has a HDD and wireless adapter, and has a Gamestop remanufactured sticker, so I guess it is one of the crummy first ones. Not that I'm complaining for free! edit 2: a little checking and it looks like this is a Jasper. I gather these are more reliable (out of the fats, anyway), so I wonder why it needed refurbing.

    Last year was still good for me, I had the possibility to save some games (I usually resell my finds because of money constraints) for my collection that once was really impressive for yesterday and today's standards.

    This year I hope I can still have some good finds, so far:

    Nostalgia NDS NIB 14 usd
    Final Fantasy CC Echoes of Time NIB 14usd
    Zelda Phantom CIB 9 usd
    Castlevania OoE NIB 14 usd
    Blue Dragon Plus NDS NIB 14 usd
    Lufia Curse of the Sinistrals NIB 14 usd
    Fossil Fighters Champions NIB 9 usd
    Zelda Links Awakening PC GB Cart Only 12 usd
    Zelda Links Awakening DX GBC Cart Only 12 usd
    Ridge Racer 64 Cart only 2 usd

    Free is always a sweet find. It could be a load of different issues with a 360 needing a refurb. I've seen quite a few with an ethernet port error in the later fat models, but who knows. Good get either way!

    I came across an indie game store I wasn't aware of before, and bought a loose copy of Challenge of Nexar for the Atari 2600 for $16.95. And it's really sad that it's been a month and a half since the beginning of the year and there's only two other posts of finds. It's also a bit disturbing that this thread hasn't been made a sticky, meaning that nobody's behind the wheel of this site anymore.

    It's easier for me to upload pictures to tweeter than in the forum, that's why I don't post too often here. The last 2 weeks:

    50 usd lot:

    CIB Ghostbusters Genesis
    CIB Wardner Genesis
    Box + Cart Mutant League Football Genesis
    CIB Hellfire Genesis


    NIB Devil Survivor 2 record breaker 3ds 25 usd
    Zelda Spirit tracks cart only: 10 usd
    Box + Cart Shadow Dancer genesis : 12 usd
    Box + Cart Dick Tracy Genesis : 12 usd

    Picked up a few cheapies, as I'm cleaning up on the stuff I'm interested in on PS3 and 360 while they're super cheap.

    PS3:
    Under Night: In-Birth (PS3)-$17

    360:
    Trials HD/Limbo/Splosion Man compilation disc-$5
    Namco Museum Virtual Arcade-$18
    Capcom Digital Collection-Free

    Grabbing a lot of former download only games that got disc runs, as there are a lot of 2D games that are more my style. That Namco Museum, aside from having Baraduke, has Galaga Legions among other former Live Arcade/PSN exclusives. Enjoying Limbo so far.

    The return of prized findings, and wondrous treasures continue into 2017!

    I picked up a couple of goodies in the last few months, might start making room for extra space in the next couple of weeks ^_^



    - Final Fantasy XV "Ultimate Collector's Edition" (Finally got it after being on the Waitlist for nearly a year )



    - Nintendo Switch (Picked up at Best Buy; I went to retrieve the system in the late afternoon, and one of the associates mentioned to me that it was good timing to stop in considering how crowded the store was during the early hours with a lot of angry people who could not get their hands on one since there were no more in stock at that time



    - The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild "Master Edition" w/ Zelda theme accessories (Got the Master Edition via Gamestop online during the early hours of the reveal before they vanished a few odd hours later; brought the accessories a day later after the game was released)



    - Nier: Automata "Black Box Edition" (This one was something I kept an eye out for when the game was first revealed a few years back; quite excited to finally have it )

    That's all for now!


    I lived my life with no fear nor hatred... For these traits are certain to the content of my immortal being.
