I'm glad I got it for cheap.

[snes_collector]

I haven't posted my finds in awhile, so this is mostly the stuff I found in April.



1$ a thrift I hardly ever find anything at. Any POG find is a good find in my book.



Namco Plug 'n Play 4$ at one the fleas



Muntant League Hockey 1$ at the main flea
Defender and Missle Command .59 cents each at the Salvantion Army. First time I've ever bought something at the SA, and let me tell ya, if things are that cheap I'll be coming back a lot more.

Now the biggie:

Atari 2600 Jr. system, AC adapter and another cord
SNES Controller
And 23 games:

Missle Commando
Volleyball
Kaboom!
Donkey Kong
Keystone Kapers
Crackpots
Space Jockey
Battlezone
Super Football
Mario Bros.
Dig Dug
Vanguard
Dodge 'em
Centipede
E.T.
Pac-Man x2
Pole Position
Space Attack
Asteroids
Moon Patrol
Journey Escape
Galaxian

Total cost? 5 bucks

Now I get to experiance Atari for the first time.

Funny thing the other week when I first saw this the console was marked 30$ and the games .75 cents each, didn't cost me near that

I'll just have to buy the rf switch thingy for it.

I sure hope it works.......

Here's some pics:






Not too shabby.

to Suckerpunch5, DOWNSIZE THE PICS, they are too big. It makes it a hassle for some, if not most, of us to read and discourages some form doing so. So please downsize the pix.

Thank You

Yeah and you should do it before InsaneDavid sees it.

$20 for a Rally X arcade machine?! Dude, talk about a steal. I thought most arcade machines would run over the $300 mark.
Freakin' awesome, man! Rally X is a fun game.

Most do run that much and more, but you can find crazy good deals sometimes. I have a friend who picked up most of his small home arcade (7 or 8 machines) on the cheap like that. Found a Klax for $75 in the local classifieds, for one. He also got a Tetris machine *and* an original Pac Man cab for about $300 total. Of course, the guy *needed* the money (as in, somebody's going to break my legs if I don't have $300 dollars, TONIGHT ) but hey, it's a good story. And kudos on the Rally X machine as well. Very nice.

As for me... absolutely nothing at the flea... manuals for Duck Tales 2 and Little Mermaid NES, $1. Woot.

Man DK, you're the new me.

Yeah and you should do it before InsaneDavid sees it.

I knew that was coming. You know we all think it, for the longest time I was one of the few to actually say something about it. :P

Anyway...........

Decent day at the flea market. I found a Coleco Pac-Man tabletop with all the stickers present except for the one on the battery door. Open it up and ACID CITY! It was pretty well dried out so I asked how much, "$20." I got him down to $15 but I wasn't paying more than $10. I've bought them in that condition before and both times there was acid damage all the way up onto the VFD = unit shot. Oh well, I already have a Pac-Man mint anyway.

However the day was not lost, I found a plastic DDR platform for $10, seller wanted $15 but I talked them down pretty quickly. It has some wear but works alright as these go. Already has a slight bend in it and a couple of the screws on the back have had their plastic break around them but for $10 it's not bad at all. Still run $120 over at MyMyBox. I'd never pay that but it's well worth $10.

Also bought a pair of NES games, 2 for $5 - the magic price. Donkey Kong Classics is for my girlfriend and the seller has had this copy of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (licensed) with the label damage for over a year. I never see it elsewhere so I figured I'd just grab it. Didn't really want it since it sucks ass compared to the arcade version but I'd rather have gotten it and Donkey Kong Classics for $5 instead of just Donkey Kong Classics for $3.

Nothing spectacular so far. I just picked up Auto Modelista on the PS2 for $2 at the Salvation Army. Seems pretty good so far, controls are tricky, but the graphics are nice. I just have to print out a DVD liner for it.

Nice nice nice.

OK, everyone, Pay Attention!

Amazing. It looks really good and hope everything that'll be sitting around it will look great.


My little turn of goodies.


What's in the picture:
Saturn:
Space Jam, Grid Runner

N64:
Daikatana

SNES:
Star Trek Starfleet Academy

PS1:
Breath of Fire III, Oddworld Abe's Exoddus, Convert Ops Nuclear Dawn

I've been trying to collect for the Saturn a lot because it's been my favorite system since I got one a few years ago. I don't know much about those two games but I've already thrown a few minutes into them and it's quite fun. Grid Runner appears to be a REALLY good find! Feels solid. Space Jam is, well a basketball game with Looney Toons, so it speaks for itself (And I suck at B-ball games).
People on here talked about Daikatana awhile back so I figured since I found it I'd grab it. Sure why not, try it out! Currenty don't have my N64 hooked up but it'll be soon.
I once had this Star Trek game on the PC (Or one similar to the tons of StarTrek games) years ago and played the SNES version once at a friends house. Don't recall too much about it but should be a nice little adventure to see what's up all over again.
Already own Breath of Fire III so just getting the disc is alright. It's nice to now have a duplicate I can allow friends to borrow without grabbing my complete version. Heard a lot about the first Oddworld for years and been wanting to pick it up so *BOOM* got it now. It's like Heart of Darkness but a lot more complecated. Been confused already a few times in it. Don't know anything about Nuclear Dawn but it appears to be a Siphon Filter knock-off. I didn't want to spend lots of money to try it out so finally found a great cheap copy!

Oh, and lastely I picked these up at that pawn shop that does wierd pricing, so all games were $1 each. WERD!

I got a copy of Snow Brothers for the NES on eBay the other day for a little under $30 shipped, and it came today. I've literally been trying to get a copy for years, and finally lucked out and got one reasonably cheap (although this time last year I was passing on ones going for $25 shipped; they were hitting $60 cart only around Christmastime).

[The_Kodiak65]

NES Widget (loose) - $2.50
NES Lethal Weapon (loose) - $2.50
NES Mighty Final Fight (loose) - $2.50

[nintendan]

Here are my finds for today:



StarCraft: Broodwar Expansion Pak Strategy Guide (for the PC). $1.00 at a Thrift Store.
Metroid Prime Strategy Guide (for Gamecube, Official Nintendo Power brand) 0.25 cents at the same thrift store.
Perfect Dark Strategy Guide (for Nintendo 64, Official Nintendo Power brand) 0.25 cents at the same thrift store.
Final Fantasy X Strategy Guide (for Playstation 2, Official Brady Games version) 0.25 cents at the same thrift store.
