oh yea huh, that makes me feel a bit old though.
I recently picked up a SNES Mini, new, retail price. Screw the scalpers
Good start to 2018. Manage to find Xbox one s cuphead edition at local CL. The guy won the contest from Xbox Twitter give away and decided to sell it so he can get VR gear. Also picked up few games. Not sure why job simulator is rising in price on eBay.

Very Nice Finds
I haven't played Dragon Quest VII for 3DS because I've had a hard time finding a copy in my city, haven't checked on amazon but a few months ago was very cheap

Man I haven't been around these parts in years, it's cool to see there's still some find activity! I'm thinkin about compiling a best-of-finds list from the past couple years and posting it. I got away from video games for awhile and they pretty much stopped showing-up in my town, plus I got hooked on vinyl and that's p much why I stopped posting here. I got a lot of great memories for DP and hope it stays around and maybe someday gets some more traffic again.
In Heaven, everything is fine.
one of....the last game store to carry any thing older than current gen stuff suddenly closed and I managed to pick up a random assortment of things I probably would never buy any way.
I got:
Gen model 1 / Master system AV cables
Gen model 2 AV cables
Final Fight (SNES)
DOOM (SNES)
Radical Psycho Machine Racing (SNES)
3x PS2 memory cards
1x PSX memory card
NES MAX controller
PSX multitap
N64 Transfer Pack
Sears Video Arcade II
Altered Beast (SMS) Complete
Shanghai (SMS) Loose
Sonic & Knuckles (GEN)
Game Genie (GEN)
MegaMan Maverick Hunter X (PSP) Loose
StarStrike (INTV) $free
I couldn't tell you how much I spent, it wasn't much. everything started at 50% and quickly jumped to 70%
sadly there was no curren gen or any thing of notable value because everything old $45 and up as well as current stuff was shipped to another store...this was the problem with this store to begin with.
This is not my find but a friend of mine, it is really amazing that I wanted to share it:
Magical Chase with jewel case and manual ... the game costed less than a Chick-fil-a combo

I drove by a thrift I used to love visiting that I haven't been in for some time, and I decided to stop. Good thing, too. Thrift stores are usually so bare it's not worth the effort, but this time I got lucky. Came across a plastic tub covered in cellophane tape with what I noticed was a bare Colecovision on top. Underneath... is that really a Coleco Telstar Arcade? I always wanted one back in the day, so I grabbed it. $29.82 for the whole tub, "as-is". I purposely didn't look too hard into the box because I kind of wanted it to be a surprise for when I got home and opened it. That bare Colecovision had the controllers underneath, along with the Atari 2600 Changer and Driving Controller module. The steering wheel and pistol missing from that Telstar Arcade were wrapped in a bag underneath too, along with cartridge #3 (kind of damaged, I have no idea if it'll work right). There was an Atari Flashback 2 underneath without a power supply. Other than that, everything else has cables and power supplies. There were only common games included unfortunately, but that Telstar Arcade makes up for that. I'm definitely happy.

Awesome find. It's probably been more than 10 years since I've come across anything remotely like that in a thrift store. I remember quite often finding comforter bags wrapped in packaging tape stuffed with game system stuff for around $30. That doesn't keep me from checking thrift stores on a weekly basis though.

After giving it a good look over, I realized that the Coleco Telstar Arcade power supply (a) has what looks like a worn-out cord coming off the wall wart, which is not a big deal since (b) the tip that plugs into the console is missing, there's just two loose wires. And the Telstar Arcade doesn't run off batteries. Guess I need to find a replacement.
I got a tub of black wii at a flea market for $10, its turns on, no disc inside, controller was chewed on my an animal of some sort but hey, it was $10 and gamecube compatible.
I could do the home brew on it since I feel werid about doing that with my launch and black Friday blue consoles
Picked these up for cheap. Ps3 hori steering wheel for $0.99 and dark soul 3 collector edition for $4.99.

Dude, good job on buying that PS3 Hori steering wheel!
I picked up Outlaws for PC yesterday. A game from LucasArts I'd never heard of, so I picked it up for a couple bucks. Pretty meh as far as finds go, but it has been so long since I found anything at all, it was worth a post.
Cool. I played through that back in the day. It was very unique for its time.
A few weeks ago I found:
Megaman Legends PS1 $1.99
Spyro 2 PS1 $1.99
Battle Arena Toshinden (longbox) PS1 $1.99
Battle Arena Toshinden 2 (longbox) PS1 $1.99
all came from a shoebox on the floor at a salvation army!
Holy schnikies, mailman187666! That's a really good price for those!
havent posted here in quite some time...but saturday i went to a small independent game store close to me and the owner had a sega game gear he was going to throw out...he couldnt get it to power on.....so he gave it to me for free...however, i did get it to turn on...but for the life of me, it will not read a cartridge...probably bad capacitors...
its the first game gear i've ever owned...also found 8 game gear games at a local pawn shop today along with 9 gameboy games....i paid $50...really not worth listing the games...mostly sports ..nothing to write home about

Yeah, I've heard that the capacitors die on Game Gears quite often.
