Original GameBoy, loose, missing the screen cover but has the battery cover, which I thought was a little odd. Didn't have a price tag on it, took it to the counter, and the girl said 2.99. Works great, and I didn't have to clean the battery terminals or the cart slot, which is always a plus.
Finally a reason to post here! Okay, today I decided to take a break from reality and hit one of my favorite thrifts, that I haven't been to in weeks. So I walk in and see a large ziploc bag crammed with what looked like a huge mess of wires and a blue dreamcast controller. So I grabbed it and here's what it was:
In the bag were misc. wires that were basically crap along with the blue "High Frequency" controller (never even heard of this one) and a black Astropad "Performance" Dreamcast controller. Then I noticed the little VMU and thought how I can always use another one of those...but it's different and has a little hole in the top. And what's that green fuzzball?? Could it be a Seaman microphone?? YES! What a GREAT day to stop in! So I head off to pay for this stuff when I notice something in the case of CD's - "sega" swirl logos! Looking closer found these:
Twelve complete DC games! I've never seen ANY DC stuff in this store prior, so this is awesome! All in all from this store, I got this:
Bag of 2 DC controllers and Seaman Mic - $4.00
12 Dreamcast games (complete and scratchfree): $30 (not great, but not bad)
- Rippin Riders
- Hidden and Dangerous
- Rainbow Six
- Silver
- Ducati World Racing
- Flag to Flag Racing
- Soul Calibur
- Air Force Delta
- NFL 2K
- NFL 2K1
- NFL 2K2
- Seaman!!
Lastly, hit Goodwill on the way home and grabbed a Genesis 6-button controller for $1.99.
So, all this for about $36 - Not bad!
That black DC controller is one of few controllers that could probably pin an Xbox "Duke" controller in a fair fight.
My latest finds:
- Mario Teaches Typing 2 (PC. Mint in jewel case): $.50
- Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts (Xbox 360. New): Gift from my brother-in-law
I may not have a 360 yet, but I at least have access to my brother-in-law's 360 (So I have some way to play it until I get my own system)
I got The Jungle Book: Rhythm N'Groove (complete and near mint condition) and Um Jammer Lammy (disc only, blockbuster stickers and scratched to hell) from Goozex.
The Jammy disc pisses me off because the guy sent the disc in a bubble mailer. No jewel case. HE SENT THE DISC IN A PAPER SLEEVE. It could've gotten cracked in transit. God, what an idiot...

Just picked up a 60gig Playstation 3 system for $250 off of Craigslist. It's not a steal but they're going for $350-$400 on ebay, and I NEED my BC, so I figured this was a good option.
Paying less than the going rate for something is always nice, even if it's not an entire steal of a deal. :P
True BC is nice, enjoy the system!
So, where did you get the HD DVD's that cheap? Cheapest place around here is Movie Trading Company at $9.99 each used. These look brand new?
Haha, I just picked one up for $240, I'm looking forward to my true backwards compatibility as well. =)
