Weekly/Weekend Finds 21 - 27 October

[Charlesaway]

My wife and I went out to pick up some supplies for her across town, and we passed the Salvation Army just as it was opening.

On the way back, I thought what the heck, I may as well peek in.

They had about 2 dozen Nes games all .99 each (all loose.) I got:

A Boy and His Blob
Baseball Stars (trade - anyone need it?)
TMNT
Shadowgate
Mike Tysons Punch Out
Gauntlet (licensed)
Deja Vu
Snakes Revenge
Airwolf
Wheel of Fortune
Soccer
Tecmo World Wrestling
WWF Wrestlemania
Who Framed Roger Rabit

and...

Adventures of Lolo
Final Fantasy

The video games stores around here are always asking 70 bucks CDN for FF, and are usually sold out, and theres no way I would pay that much, but for .99, who can complain! Good luck everyone.

Yesterday I picked up a Sega Master System at a local thrift for $25.00.

It had 3D Missile Defense built in and had the 3D glasses. I also got: 2 controllers, the Light Gun, a Control Stick, the Rapid Fire unit and 7 games. The games were all boxed and included the manuals as did the system and all the peripherals.

The games were: Double Dragon, Ghostbusters, The Ninja, Monopoly, Maze Hunter 3D, Quartet and Zaxxon 3D.

also scored a Donkey Kong board game.

Finally got my Dragon Warriors 1 and 2 for the NES in the mail today.

I also picked up:

Metal Gear Solid 2 (PS2) - 23.99
Pitfall (GBA) - 9.99

They had 7 more GBA games for 9.99 (I wish I had more money) and plenty of other great deals on PS1 and PS2 games.

I think I've been going to thrifts to much the last few weeks, today I picked up 8 CIB w/overlays, Intellivision games. Now I've never had a INTV and I wasn't planning on getting one but the games were pretty in the boxes and all.

$2 each for dirt commons: Night Stalker, Boxing, Baseball, Football, Tennis, Vegas Blackjack, Auto Racing, and Golf.

edit: oops, I almost forgot the cool little Tandy Electronic Football II handheld I found for $3. Complete in box/instructions/bubble wrap and near mint
What's also cool about this Tandy is there are 4 lines to run up and down in, I've only played the Mattel one's before where there are 3 lines.

A complete NES w/2 controllers and hookups for $9.99..

1 Genesis Fighter sticks and 1 Snes fighter sticks $4 each..

Couple of nes games.. knight rider and Joshua Wisdom Tree game.

[oesiii]

ack! Posting about thrifting made me check out another goodwill on the way home. Found a taped up box that had a Atari 2600 4-switch Vader, all the hook-ups, and 4 joysticks. All that was worth the $15 for me so I didn't dig into the box and would wait to open it at home.

When I got home, it was complete and working, no games, but the box did have a UHF modulator in it? and an original GameBoy! Cool, I didn't have one of those before.

I picked up Alien vs. Predator for the Jaguar for $3. It was in a Trevor McFur box, which is what I thought I was buying. The guy only wanted $3, so I didn't even look in the box before I bought it.

I also got Motor City Patrol for the NES, still sealed for $5.00.
