WOW, that was a DAMN good deal. I would pay $15.00 for a boxed gunstar heroes alone. Good job!

Dock sale again today:

I'm digging through this box of purses, of all things, and what do I find at the bottom? A FREAKIN' PSP!!!

So I got a model PSP-1001 (says B2 after it.) Sony PSP for $2. LCD screen is intact, but it's missing the battery and battery cover, as well as the charger. I hope it works.

I also got some sort of Creative media player, black and rectangular with a large screen, looks like a video player, has 2GB of memory. Looks like the LCD screen's messed up. I'm gonna hook it up to my PC and see if it works. That was $1.

Also got a N64 gameshark and a Microsoft Sidewinder PC controller to use with games, $0.50 each and I got a Tandy VFD (or LED?) basketball game for $0.50, something-Shot or another. I'm not going out to the car to look at it cause it's freezing outside. This one's a bit yellowed and will be the first subject when I use retrobright.


My dad on the other hand, got a loose N64 base system, no hookups for $5 and an un-yellowed SNES for $3.

He also got a Yamaha DX-27 synthesizer with a nice gigging case for $10. I'm kinda jealous even though I prefer analog keyboards. The synth itself is in excellent condition, no scuffs or scratches or anything. One key is loose and will need to be replaced but that's no problem. Here's what it looks like: http://www.vintagesynth.com/yamaha/dx27.php

So earlier this year I found that The Rocketeer proto, which was sadly, dead.

Well... Remember that place where I got the Golgo 13 books and stuff? I went to it again since the owner had moved around more stuff and I found this weird looking cart.



It was next to a few Genesis games. I picked one up and compared the pinout and realized... "Is this a Genesis proto?" I asked for a price, the guy recognized me and said "One dollar for you." So I bought it.

I just got home, and I'd luckily kept my Genesis system nearby since I was testing some games yesterday. And it's an NBA Live 97 Proto cart! It runs kinda slow (compared to the same game on an emulator)... I got to the title screen and when it got to the menu, the music stopped. I chose exhibition, and after I selected my teams, the game crashed!

Um. So yay? (666 aaaaaaaaaaagh)

[Steve W]

Ugh. Forum freezes and double posts. Sorry. Nothing to see here, move along please.

Three late release Tandy Color Computer cartridges (I never knew Radio Shack supported the CoCo all the way to 1989 with the Rampage release) and a truly ugly copy of Frostbite for the Atari 2600. All were $1.95 each.

[Ryaan1234]

Ewww... What kind of bear ate that Frostbite and shat it out?

(Seriously though, that's got to be one of the worst Atari labels I've seen. It's not that big of a deal I guess if you just want to play it.)

[Atarileaf]

Oh I love coco games. I wish I could find those around here. Rampage is pretty good. Rad Warrior is ok, Never played Mindroll. Damn nice

[darkslime]

Crimson Skies NFR - $3.99

Check behind the manual. A lot of them still have 12 month xbl cards that work on 360 in them.

[InsaneDavid]

The Prisoner set - 19.80

Excellent pickup!

Happened to go into Salvation Army again, and nearly everything in the store was 50% off, so though otherwise I probably wouldn't have gotten anything (while they have a bunch of stuff, nothing is an absolutey must-own...), I got some more games. $1.50 each was just too cheap to pass up!

All PC games of course. All Jewelcase only.

Scorched Planet

Only the 4th day of the month and already a LOT of really nice finds! I'm jealous and apparently I need to get out there and look for some deals! The thrifts and discount stores I hit have been bare since Black Friday. Not a lot of trading in right now I guess....

[vintagegamecrazy]

Well, I'm not going to post pics but I did find a fairly yellowed Dreamcast with all hookups two controllers and a memory card with no price on it. I asked the lady to price it and she came back with $5.04. I grabbed it needless to say, I also got a generic power supply that will work with the genesis so I had a good day at the Salvation Army.

[heybtbm]

NECA's Bioshock figures came out this week. Found this big guy at TRU...

[Tupin]

Nothing today but a World War II era anti-Japanese 78 record that was free because it was shattered into several pieces.

I'm going to glue them back together, carefully, though.

[Shadow Kisuragi]

Check behind the manual. A lot of them still have 12 month xbl cards that work on 360 in them.

Thanks for the advice - no card though

[understatement]

Lots of firsts here first Wave Bird (the receiver is in my Wii) it came with the GC for $10 the other first is the Xbox it came with 5 or so games but only Conker is worth showing all for $20. I picked up the SNES with 5 games FF3 was the only one from that worth showing all for $20 and last but not lest my thrift store finds: Grandia 2 CIB (not much to tell wanted to play it) Sunset Riders CIB (loved this game in the arcade and I did not know it had console ports) Chavez CIB (I like to shit when I saw this on its side and something was covering the last 2 letters CHAV... *pushes out of way, slowly* ...E...Z... ... ... ... nooooo-) oh well its cool to all of that was $10.

Also all the systems had all cords and 1 or 2 controllers.
