    Default Midweek finds (March 24 - March 28)

    Got a few things today...

    Dr. Mario (NES): Boxed with manual - $12 AUS
    Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt (NES): Loose cartridge - $6 AUS
    NES Zapper Gun - $9 AUS
    N64 Clear Purple controller (perfect condition - including the joystick!) - $35 AUS

    I couldn't believe that this N64 controller's joystick was in perfect condtion. Usually they at least have abit of wear and freeplay - but this one's like it's never been used!

    Note: I think the Clear Purple controller was also known as the Atomic Purple controller in the US.

    $6 AU is around $3 USD and yeah it's way too much but that's for my area. SMB/DH is probably rarer in AU anyway so that could be the case.
    Another day, another dollar... wake me when it's payday.

    I Think you paid way too much for all of that, granted you dont find much of it in aussie, i hardly picked up anything while in brisbane, but still $35 for a used controller? thats got to be a rip off... i could have bought a complete nes and games and zapper for $20 AUS.. what state are you in?

    Today I got two atari paddles and a sega rf adaptor for 5$CDN
    I also picked up my copy of Zelda for the gamecube today.

    Is there any other types of the game other then the gold disk? Usually there are 2 types but all I can find is the gold versions around here. (not that I want another one)

    I was driving down a local street & noticed a thrift store sign which I've never seen before. Well, today I stopped by & found 9 loose Atari 2600 games and holder, $.99 each. Highlights were Frankenstein's Monster and Concentration, the '86 release with the "for use with paddle controllers" typo. The only problem was the fact that the store had put their price tags right on top of the front labels-idiots!

    I recieved Chavez II for the snes yesterday, which I won on ebay for $10 US. It is a pretty sweet looking game. Unfortunately, it will likely be the last game I get until summer.
