    Default Weekday Finds: 5/3 - 5/7

    I decided to kick off the weekday finds thread as I did not see another.

    Decided to go out huntin with Nez under the scourge of the Arizona sun and started off the monday with a bang:

    Commodore 64 in box - 8
    Commodore 64 1541 Floppy Drive - 6
    Commodore 64 Model 1702 Monitor - 20

    Bunch of commodore goodness at Goodwill. The monitor works great and kicks serious ass for playing NES games.

    Gamecrazy:
    SNES Cybernator - 5

    Savers
    SNES Super Metroid - 2
    SNES Super R-Type - 2
    NES Cleaning Kit w/ Manual - 4
    NES Adventure Island 2 w/ Manual - 4
    NES Amagon w/ Manual - 4
    NES Galaga w/ Manual - 4
    NES Codename Viper w/ Manual - 4
    NES Kiwi Krazy w/ Manual - 4
    GEN Sonic 3 w/ Box - 5

    Not too bad of a day at all. Took me FOREVER to get metroid working. Just did not want to start up. Finally blew on the contacts a little bit and then it works perfect....hmm..whatever. Now it's time for some good ol' gamin.

    And a bunch of old wrestling videos for 5.99 each

    Of course all this was at the Movie Gallery in town. Cause Maine sucks and theres never any finds.

    Nights into Dreams box w/ 3D controller (no game)
    Battle Arena Toshinden URA (SAT US complete sealed)
    Earthbound (COMPLETE w/strat guide and scratch and sniff cards, guide isn't mint tho )
    Jet Grind Radio official strategy guide
    Robo Pit (complete)


    $100 all together. A bit steep probably but I really wanted the Earthbound that had just been traded into the indie store.

    Got a package in the mail from Germany yesterday:

    Corvette ZR-1 Challenge (NES) - complete
    Die Schlumpfe (The Smurfs) (NES) - complete

    With shipping from Germany to U.S., I think the total for everything was 27 or 28 bucks. Not too bad considering both of these games complete went on the U.S. eBay for $83 EACH a couple of months ago.

    Anyone know why Die Schlumpfe isn't in listed in the online rarity guide?

    Super NES:

    Mr. Do! (loose) - $1

    Playstation:

    Grand Theft Auto 2 (GH, complete) - $2.50

    Mr. Do! was the find of the day. It's listed on DP as an R4 at $15. Quite a steal.

    Try under "Non-US" releases. There was no US release of the game, so unless you specify, it won't check. If it's still not there, it's probably because there is NO WAY to have a complete non-US list.
    Great to deal with: Leonk, AdamG, Cheesystick, DigitalPress, ButtaSuperb, Hydr0x, Darth Vader, Gary Gnu, Portnoyd, NexWave, Postermen, Kaine23, ARCZero, kai123, Buyatari, Minilek, DREW, bighab, AlanD, Flack

    After having the audio on my Neo Geo (at least temporarily) crap out on me, I needed some comfort food. So, I made the game rounds and for $60 came up with (all GameCube):

    Cubivore
    Ikaruga
    I-Ninja
    F-Zero GX
    Serious Sam

    Yum.

    Serious score man! You will not regret buying that monitor, if you look through the room of doom pictures you will still see a lot of those being used.

    More stuff for Wednesday....need to stop buying and start selling:

    Colecovision w/ 2600 Adapter - 8

    Found this at a thrift and at first saw the adapter and thought it was a broken colecovision until I saw the actual system a shelf higher. Snapped in the adapter since it had no price and picked it up for 8 bucks. Doesn't seem to work at all though, with the game it came with or any of the others I've had.

    Then stopped by another thrift I hadn't been to in a WHILE:

    NES
    Dragon Warrior (Complete)
    Dragon Warrior II (Box)
    Final Fantasy (Box, Handbook)
    Legacy Of The Wizard (Compete)
    Pin Bot (Complete)
    Shadowgate (Complete)
    Ultima: Warriors Of Destiny (Complete)
    Vegas Dream (Complete)

    1.99 each. Has the price written in crayon on the boxes and cart labels tho...no idea how to get rid of that so....=\.

    Think I'll be throwing up some stuff for sale that I don't need.

    picked up a shrinkwrapped snes wild guns for $30 at a game store; figured that was a better deal than the loose copies of final fantasy II and super metroid that they were selling for $39.99

    also got animal crossing, evolution worlds and resident evil for gamecube at a goodwill for $9.99 each. don't really know why, maybe because the novelty of seeing current-gen games at goodwill still hasn't worn off for me yet...
