July 2010 Finds

[Goodwill Hunter]

A couple of rummage and Goodwill finds today. Started the day with an snes lot from a Craigslist rummage:



11 games, a game genie, mouse, and a super game boy….the snes didn’t have a power brick, so I asked about it. They couldn’t find one, but knocked the price from $25 to $15 before I could even start to haggle….sold!

At the next rummage, I picked up 6 complete PS2 and Gamecube titles for $2 each;




Then at a Goodwill that will be moving soon and is having a 50% off everything sale, I got the following (discounted price shown):

Xbox360 Tetris Evolution (sealed) $4.99
Xbox DDR 2 $1.49
Gameboy Fall of the Foot Clan 49 cents
Gameboy Alien vs. Predator (damaged label) 49 cents

And then in the mail from Ebay, a piece of my childhood came back to me….the 1971 Kenner SSP Laker Special in limited edition green! It will go right between my Vertibird and the Strange Change machine that’s also soon to arrive…boys and their toys

It means it can't find a OS, so the system has no Operating system.

If you indeed have a Bondi system and it's the one I'm thinking of you have a system running a 233mhz processor and has a tray loading disk drive. Your OS options are limited to OS 8, OS 9, and OSX 10.1 I believe. I wouldn't do OSX 10 because it'll run terribly on that computer. Slot loading iMacs can do up to 10.4 but I don't think you have that one.

Oh, it's a slot loading 350mhz.

Hit one of my favorite annual rummage sales. It didnt let me down. Got 2 really nice stereo receivers that Im thrilled with. One of them is an NAD brand, which you dont see often, the other is onkyo. Both have the books and remotes, another thing you dont often see.

Also picked up a bell and howell super 8mm projector in the box, and a cobra cb radio base station. The cobra was a complete shot in the dark, I still need to look it up.

Also got a James Brown 3 cd set in a collectors tin for $2.

The only gaming item I saw was an atari 2600 with about 10 games in a box, they said how about $15 and I said I would pass. The only game I saw that I wasnt sure on was called piece o cake, seems decently rare when I looked on my phone, but not enough to make me spend $15 for the lot.

Now tomorrow is my absolute favorite annual church sale of the past couple years. I always do well. Last year I had a whole car full I bought. If anyone remembers, which they probably wont but, this is the church sale that last year under a table I found a saturn system and around 15 cib mint games, all for $10.

I also got a copy of Zone of The Enders 2 from GameTZ. The guy said it was fine... but it was horribly scratched, so I dunno if I should dock him in his ratings or just file a BTR for sending me a bad item. :\

15 PS A/V cables and 12 power cords, two broken PS2s, a broken Xbox and a network adapter for $40. From this guy who has a booth at the swap meet and buys storage lockers. He always texts me in the middle of the night with usually broken systems and PS2 network adapters to sell, saying he needs the money ASAP. I don't question what its for

Yea that is where I got it from.

[SamuraiSmurfette]

I was thinking of getting that myself, but I don't like how it's going free-to-play (ie, where you have to pay real life cash for in-game stuff...like inventory slots and talent points)

Well, it's true. They're assholes about people selling used copies... and I don't want them getting my powerseller status removed. :P

I wouldn't be surprised.

These are my make kitsune jealous finds. These were from a church rummage. The frontpage 98 was inside the 2003 box in addition to 2003 as a bonus. It was $1 for that and $1 for the wow battlechest. I was surpised by how much frontpage goes for.

After I grabbed the battlechest some guy came up behind me and grabbed every other pc, I just laughed to myself, he was clearly a reseller, then he tried to talk me out of the battlechest, he was like oh warcraft, i think you need a cd key for that. I was like ok, thats why the cd key is probably in the box, lol. The other games were nothing great, deer hunters and other random stuff.

I did see about 2 copies of xp and a copy of office 2007. But the discs were marked not for retail sale and were in white sleeves so I passed, can you sell those not for retail sale versions?

Hah, I -just- sold a Frontpage upgrade. No need to make me jealous. XP I tend to avoid anything WOW related, since those are subscription games there's no way for me to tell if the keys are used or registered.

Having the older version of Frontpage will help out when it's time to sell it, dude. Congrats.

Now for the bad news: That copy of ZOE2 I got? Well, I told the guy who traded it to me that I can't accept the item in that condition and he doesn't seem to want to accept a return. God damnit.
