Jack Bros. is up for sale or trade, apparently the value of the US version has shot up recently, a box and manual alone went for $40 shipped on eBay last.

[josekortez]

Did a lot of shopping this past week, probably too much:

EB Games
GameCube Nintendo-brand 1019 memory card (used) - $10
Complete boxed PSP - $199 (traded in by someone who might have "found" it for free at another retail store, everything inside was still factory sealed in bags)
Power Move Wrestling (PS1, complete) - $1.79

Movie Gallery (all previously viewed DVDs)
Be Cool - $5
Diary of a Mad Black Woman - $5
Elektra - $5
Guess Who - $5

Oh, I forgot something even better than the PSP - a 56" wide Regent Sports air hockey table with paddles (no puck) for $20. It was an open box item from Toys R Us. I paid $2 for the puck online, and I'll have it in 7 - 10 business days!

Certainly not gaming related, but it is definitely my find of the year.



Roubaix Elite 27. Full Ultegra. Carbon fork, seat stay, seatpost, and headset. Nevermind how much it was, but it was more than I have spent on games in the last year, easily.

[DKTheArcadeRat]

Long time since I have bought anything gaming related. So I checked a goodwill and got these. Never really find too much at any goodwill.

PGA Tour Golf(CIB)-$0.99
NHL '94(CIB)-$0.99
Bulls vs. Lakers & the NBA Playoffs(CIB)-$0.99
NHL Hockey(CIB)-$0.99

Total=$3.96 but being a student actually comes in handy for once-discount price = $3.57. Not half bad.

Also, I looked at the box on NHL '94 and there is a small thing that says limited edition, What is the difference?

[Hammy]

just picked up today, gain ground, and robo kid jap carts for megadrive with yet another mega key adaptor.

[Xexyz]

I have to give props to my favorite local game store chain Game Craze. I'm always finding good, fair priced stuff there. Today I purchased the following:

NES:

Shadow of The Ninja - $5.99
Kickle Cubicle
MagMax
Milon's Secret Castle - All 3 for $10 even (yay Cubicle!!!)

Genesis, all boxed:

King of The Monsters 2 - $5.99 (no manual :/)
Columns III (complete) - $6.99
Syd of Valis - $5.99 (but no manual = )




Not a bad day all in all. They have a good stock of 16-bit Koei titles. Unfortunately, they are a bit pricey

[jcheatle]

Not a banner day at the flea market, but not a complete wash I guess.

NES - loose, $2.50 apiece

Kid Icarus
Xexyz
WWF King of the Ring
Archon

All were in pretty good shape, Kid Icarus was picked up for a friend who already has it, so it's now trade bait I guess. Same with Xexyz. Oh well, the latter 2 put me up to 427.

Atari 2600 - loose, $1.50 apiece

Spider-Man
M.A.D.
Crystal Castles

[Videogamerdaryll]

Flea Market...Cold and Windy..

My Dad so much better then me today with finds at the flea...He's really been scoring for things he looks for/needs.
I took pictures of the big stuff he bought but not worth posting them..


All I got was:
Socrates for $1.00..
Pachinko Machine for $10.00
Flashlight Free..
Coca Cola item $4.00



One vendor had around 30 Atari Games(loose carts)..I deal with him a lot
...All common carts except for three uncommon games,that I've never seen before there..
He wanted $65.00 for the box of carts ..I only wanted the three uncommon games.He would not sell anything separately so no deal for me..
$25.00 for the Atari system itself..

[Nez]

Fester's Quest

Hmm...that's cool...I was looking up HERO in the DP guide and just found out it's the same game as "Roto" on the 800xl. I played the game all the time back in the day. Never knew it was on anything but that.

I wasn't expecting anyone to reply to my find, Least of all, you, hellvin. You surprised me there.

I have played H.e.r.o on the atari 2600, Although it may be awhile until i play the 5200 version since i don't own an atari 5200 yet.

Anyway, today, I met someone who owns a PSP. (No, i didn't buy anything) Rather odd, considering that, before i met him, i had a feeling that i might meet someone who owns one. This feeling was long before i even got into the mall's parking lot.

Went to Gamestop, and picked up Wario Land 2 (cart only - $11.99), Wario Land 3 (GBC cart only - $12.99), and Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time.

[Ryaan1234]

Shinobi III, Mario Andretti Racing, Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers the Movie, Mortal Kombat II, Primal Rage, X-Men, and a cleaning cartridge all for Genesis. Every one has the box and manual except X-Men and the cleaning cartridge. They were $0.50 apiece.

[-hellvin-]

Today I woke up early to hit the flea market and a few thrifts. Nothing really, but I managed to get a few genny games I needed, and a replacement SMS game for my complete collection:

Genesis - Fifa 97 (complete) - 4
Genesis - MLBPA Baseball (loose) - .50
Genesis - Tony LaRussa Baseball 95 (loose) - .50
SMS - Ghost House (complete) - 2

Got two more loose games for my boxes and manuals at home, and another complete game.

Came home after grabbing some lunch and some packages arrived in the mail. Got a ton of sega genesis manuals I need for my boxed games, and then my best on-line buy ever:

I picked this stuff up off another message board. The Turbo Express unit has no sound, but it can play hu-cards. I'm going to try D-Lite's sound fix that I found on the neo-geo forums and see what happens ;D.

Needless to say, I am quite pleased. I tested a few games and they worked. I'm gonna fire up the DUO, and try them all out now. The previous owner said a few hucards wouldn't work in the express unit, so I'm gonna see how everything goes. Hopefully I can fix the express unit ;D. I have about 5 of these games, so some of them will be up for sale.
