[joshnickerson]

Well, here's my haul for the month. Some pleasant surprises, and possibly my best find for the year. Sorry for the crappy photos... my digital camera is slowly dying.

Metroid Fusion Guide - $2.00
F-1 Race Box, w/ 4 player adaptor - $0.50

The 4 Player adaptor was still inside it's plastic wrap.


Out of This World - $5.00 (I still can't figure out how to play this game, but it has some awesome graphics)
Final Fantasy Legend 2 - $3.00
Assorted Pokemon Keychains - 3 for $1.00


Game.Com - Complete in box - $5.00
I know it sucks, but hell, I figured I might as well find out just how bad it was in person for only five bux. It also came with a manual for Frogger, I don't know why... at least it has a decent game of solitare built in.


Now we're cooking with gasoline!
Wario Ware Twisted (complete) - $19.99
Yoshi Touch & Go (no manual ) - $14.99
New Super Mario Bros (new) - $27.99
Mega Man - $3
Gyruss - $3
Magical Tetris Challenge - $3

And now, I present to you... my biggest find of the year (thus far)


Tengen Tetris (complete) - $2
The box is faded in the front, and the manual cover is ripped, but damn, I probably woulda paid twenty bucks for just the cartridge.

I just got Dracula X: Chi no Rondo in the mail today, purchased from eBay for $116 (with shipping).

[cyberfluxor]

Not too spectacular but here's what I got today:
Playstation:
Strikers 1945 (mint - $8.99)

Huge fan of these side scrollers so to find it on the PS1 almost brought tears to my eyes. Knabbed it imediately and got it before someone else later could snatch it.

Genesis:
Steel Empire (nice condition loose)
Chuck Rock II Son of Chuck (nice condition loose)
$1.99 each

I've been waiting awhile to grab Steel Empire from the wild somewhere. They had a complete priced at $7.99 but since all I really need right now is the game, I'll hold out for the box+manual.

...And then my awesome handheld addition:
Sega Nomad in really decent shape and flawless gameplay for $16, and came with a free Street Fighter II Champ game, woot. Had to laugh at the SF2CE due to the sticker on the front and the abundant finding of it. Oh well, it was that or Sonic 2. It came with no cords but that's alright due to having extras. I'll most likely stash the nomad in with my GameGear carrying case and have them share the same AC adaptor.

I had one of the best days I have had in 2 years.
I was in town for a funeral. A neighbor was setting up a yard sale. My initial look I didn't see anything that caught my eye. Later that day. I was driving past I spoted what looked like a big box with a sega cd game case so i told the driver to stop. I didn't have time to look at every thing just a so I just glanced in the box there was a nes system misc carts. He kept saying he didn't have audio video cables. I was thinking I have plenty of nes cables. He said give me 10.00 for the box. I said no problem. I threw the box in the trunk. Thought it was a great deal. I get home here is what was in the box.

1 snes game mech warrior

1 2600 game spiderfighter

sega cd games

masked rider
ground zero
sonic
sega6in one

1 sim city 2000 pc game

And now for the gem. Underneath the nes was the

Sega CDX
Dusty but nice condition. scale of 1-10 I give it an 8
It had a power supply but no audio/video cable. The system comes on I just have to get the cables.

This definately renewed my faith in yard sales. Things were getting scarce. I wasn't expecting anything much. Life is funny.

I think when he bought it someone gave him the sega saturn audio/video cables by mistake. They were in the box still had the twist tie.

On Friday I picked up 2 Psp internal battery packs for 15.00.
Great week

Went to the elephant-sized Elkhorn flea market; passed-up A LOT of great stuff (this one guy had about seven brand-new atari handhelds) because of ridicoulously high pricing (said handhelds in this case were $10 a peice ). anyways, here's what I got:

> Pac-Man 99-peice puzzle (complete w/ all peices & box)- $5.00 with a Beavis and Butthead VHS

> Quickshot XII controller (NES; fixed it 'cause it had a loose peice of plastic)- $3.00

That is strikingly similar to my score yesterday, Mystical Ninja starring Goemon N64, Kung Fu & Adventure Island NES. Paid the same too.

[Chainsaw_Charlie]

my package from DR wily 008 came today

8 eyes
Lolo 2
mega man 3,4

[cyberfluxor]

Super Mario Bros. Movie

Damnit, I want that DVD... I've only found it for rentals around here and nearly everyone is VHS.

Well, didn't get much today but managed to find:

Rocket Knight Adventure (GEN) $1
-complete & mint with some dust
Super Volleyball (GEN) $1
-loose and has a red dot on it, but great elsewise
Scooby-Doo Mystery (SNES) $1
-loose and great condition

Authentic Sega Genesis arcade stick for $3
Decided to get one since I'm getting more sports, fighting, and puzzle games on this system so it's worth a small investment to get an arcade controller. Should be nifty with the Steel Empire I got the other day as well.

[keiblerfan69]

I recieved Armada for DC in the mail from someone on Gamespot for helping out with something. Very mint.
