February 2007 Finds

... it's not Japanese, it's from Thailand. Do they use NTSC over there?

According to the information I've found, it uses PAL now, but it used to use NTSC. I guess I have to wait to get it to find out! If not, I still got additions to my collection! Well, it may not be a JPN Megadrive, it still comes with some decent stuff. It's still a pretty good steal IMO.

Thanks for the info Kitsune! I appreciate it!

I noticed it was from Thailand because of the sticker on one of the pictures. Yes, it's an Asian MD, but I'm still wondering if it uses PAL or not... with any luck it won't.

If it does, no big deal, it will just be eye candy. 20 bucks for all that including shipping.




I've been lazy about uploading pics on photobucket. My connection is unstable. Alundra is missing the map and the Guide is a bit worn. The Turbo Grafx has this super 80's poster with Keith Courage on it, and an advertisement for the DUO. Unfortunaly it dosen't have any hookups..... The yellowed SNES doesn't work. The power comes on, but no picture. The bomberman multitap is dusty but still works. All of that was free, one of my friends donated her brother's stuff to me. Her words were "oh, I was gonna throw my brother's junk away, do you want this crap?" JUNK? CRAP? tsk tsk... Any ideas on how to get this SNES working?

Oh, I forgot to add, if you guys are interested in any of the stuff I find, I'm always up for trades. Just IM or PM me.

Apparently I need to complain more often.

Last month I posted (whined) in the Finds section how hunting sucks this time of year in my area and I wouldn't find anything until April-ish. And then, Thursday, this happened:





$5 a piece on the SNES games (the cartidges are in there along with manuals and maps--me so happy) and $3 a pop for the Dragon Warrior cartridges.

And to think I was supposed to be at work that day. Glad I took it off.

MY FINDS FOR TODAY . AT DISC REPLAY . GENESIS ARCADE STICK 4.99 .

i so just priced that up and put it in the case the other day,i had a feeling someone would want it.

[mills]

Another dissapointing day. I went to my cash converters to see that they raised their prices, AGAIN! It would appear they go on ebay, sort by highest price, and then double it.

They did have alot of good games though.
Bubble Bobble NES 19.99 PASS
Mega Man 7 SNES 24.99 PASS
69.99 loose SNES system PASS!

They have TONS of stuff too, probably because it's not selling due to ..high prices..

mills:
Whoa whoa whoa, that's high for Cash Converters. It's a good thing they are independently owned otherwise the ones my way would have died long ago! My only problem is I believe others in my area have taken notice that they price a lot of games cheap and due to my busy work & school schedule they scoop up the goods before I even get out to them!

I got some nifty things but I'm lazy right now and don't feel like taking a picture, uploading, resizing, ect. and I'm not going to just list either so everyone's just going to have to wait until Sunday afternoon.

This is my 500th game!

NES:
Castlequest
Clu Clu Land
Captain Comic the Adventure
3 for $10 at a video store's game department. All 3 are loose and need a little cleaning but nothing bad.

Been looking for this game awhile now and all the local GameStops and EB Games had boxes + cd but no manuals for $10. Happy about finally getting it. He also hooked me up with some cartridge storage cases that go with the NES, I'll post a picture later today because I'm moving my games, books and DVDs/VHSs around.

It was a great day for me!

I wasn't sure wich way i'd go at first. East or west? I chose east, And it paid off.

First I stopped in a goodwill and found a Surround sound amp for $15! I've been looking for one so I bought it.

Then, I went to another goodwill.. Nothing.

And then I went to an indoor flea market, And I saw a complete copy of Panzer Dragoon for the saturn. I wasn't sure if it was the valuable one or not, So I decided to not risk it, And I bought it for $5. It may have not been the best deal, But what the heck.

At the same place, There were some gamecube games for $10 each. I'll pass on those.. But wait! There are two official nintendo brand memory cards for $3 each! I picked those up, But frank (The guy who owns the indoor flea market) Said $1 each so I wouldn't argue with a lower price.

Last stop, One more goodwill. Boughta loose copy of King's Knight for the NES for 99 cents.

So, Even though I spent a little bit too much on Panzer dragoon IMO, I got a good deal on the memory cards, And while I may have not needed them, I won't have to worry about buying any more gamecube memory cards for awhile!

Not bad, could've been better. Not happy about the 'modified' games bit but they'll keep as spares, I suppose.

Picked up 3 Xbox sports games from a Goodwill store for $1.97 each. The funny thing is that they wanted $2.97 each for the Genesis sports games.

So I went to a Goodwill today. Overpriced Genesis sports games? Check. Bare PlayStation unit? Check. Bare Genesis console? Check. (though it was a model 1 instead of the model 2's I usually see). They're still there, of course.

I thought it was going to be a fruitless trip since I didn't see anything else I wanted, but I hadn't checked all the bins yet. I look through one, and under a bunch of random crap I see an atomic purple Game Boy Color. I was like "hmm, they usually keep these in the glass case up front, wonder how much they're charging for this." So I take a look at the back and to my surprise, it's $4.99 (and ironically enough, the price tag was purple. Heh.)

It's in overall good shape, and it even had a battery cover and two Duracells inside. I turned it on and it powered up. Score! I was surprised a GBC in good shape was priced so low, especially since the local Goodwills and other thrifts usually charge anywhere from $15-$30 for them (Last week, I spotted one at another Goodwill with no battery cover for $29.99). Even though I have an SP, I decided a while ago that I'd have no problem adding a GBC to my collection for around $5. Definitely one of my best thrift scores.

Not much here, just a Final Fantasy X-2 off Ebay for the nice price of $4 including shipping. Not too bad...
