[darkslime]

Well, been really busy lately, and just read pages 2-11 of this thread. Great finds this month guys!

All I've picked up are 17 NES games for $15 at a garage sale, the notables being smb 2, smb 3, mike tyson's punch out.

And regarding the PS2 network adaptors, people buy them on ebay for $50 to sell to other people overseas for $100+ so they can pirate the PS2. Try contacting a person who previously bought NA from you and sell them to them off ebay to save on fees.

Flea Market..

Cat Eye Endoro Bike Speedo in box,unused $4.00

When I first saw this I was thinking, "If you bought a Speedo, it had better be unused" Then, I realized it was a speedometer.

The Starcraft w/ expansion should get you 10+. Similar with AoE III. The rest I don't really know about, but some will depend if the cd-key/codes have been used (e.g. WoW).

This was exactly my thought as well!

Not as good a weekend as previous weeks.


xbox w/ games, etc was $30, couldn't talk her down
Gamecube games were 5 each; 1 each for the guides
Genesis game was $2, it is sealed, but I think it may be an old reseal.



SNES holder was also yesterday for 25 cents
PC games 1 each, GBA games 2 ea., Tetris .50, and DS game was $3.

Then I got an unexpected package today. totally out of the blue (forgotten about).


This was from 'Tales Brigade'. If you pre-ordered Tales using their link to Gamestop, you were to get this plush doll (head velcros on/off). The t-shirt and soundtrack I don't think were part of the deal; maybe just a bonus for it taking so long? Maybe I forgot about that part or it was for something else.

[SegaAges]

A bunch of my stuff came in the mail over the past couple of days:

HyperScan
Marvel Heroes - New
Ben 10 - New
IWL - New

Before Shipping, I think it was right around $10 for all 3

Genesis
Sonic 3 (complete) - $10
Sonic 3d Blast (Complete) - $8

Now all I need to do is wait for Joe to send my HyperScan system (I won it from him from eBay) and then I will be 1 game away from a complete HyperScan collection (by far the easiest and cheapest system I have run into for a complete collection).
5 games came out on HS, 1 was included with the system. All of the others outside of Spiderman can easily be had for $5 or under.

[FOnewearl]

Shadow of The Colossus (Boxed & GH) - $2
Crash Bandicoot (Complete) - $2

Found these at a multi family sale at the social hall in town. Both games had initials and $2 was the IAP on both.

Nintendo 64 With 1st Party Controller, 3rd Party Controller, AC Adaptor & NES/SNES RF Adaptor with piece to connect to N64 systems

Super Mario Bros. Deluxe

$3

Found SMBD in a GBC, asked about games. Broght out the N64 with no games offered $3 for them which was taken after thinking it over for a few seconds. I don't think you can see it too well in the picture but the 3rd party controller (SkarkPad 64) is in bad shape and needs to be put out of it's misery.

Sega Genesis 2 in box with 1 (3 button) 1st party controller, AC Adaptor & RF Adaptor

Eternal Champions (Boxed)
Game Genie
Virtua Fighter 2 manual

$4

Saw this marked $5 offerd $2 for it to which the guy responded was too low, I said how about you meet me in the middle then and he said $4 which I agreed on since it was close enough to the middle (3.50) and I don't have a Genesis 2 box.

Non Find BS

Went to about 60 sales and really didn't find anything better then the few boring parting gifts I'm showing here I did see some of the usual dreck at a few sales that people should just throw away instead of selling at a yardsale (GBC carrying case but no system or games, PC kid games, old steering wheel controller) I didn't really see anything else good that I passed on except for a PSP with 2-3 games and a UMD but it was definately priced by a kid and too high for anywhere especially a yardsale ($150)

Friday Morning at about 8:20 I was told that I was the third person to ask about video games at this sale and was told that the other 2 were older ladies looking for games for their grandchildren and it sounded to me like it was the same lady that grabbed a Donkey Kong Country 3 for GBA from across a table that I over looked last year. I did happen to see her out and about this morning, it's too bad my grandmother wasen't so dedicated to finding me old games when I was younger!

I had two sales that mentioned games I missed (one was a PS2 sytem the other some PSX or PS2 games) so I didn't get any hints that I missed anything like old cart games, sales were probably just that dry video game wise.

The one sale I asked about video games at the lady mentioned that she had a Nintendo with a "ton" (I'm guessing about 20-25) games but that she was "most likely" keeping it. Sounded like she found it getting ready for the yardsale but decided to pull it out of the attic and play it instead of selling it. Kind of crappy to mention and after I left I was thinking about if I should have tried to get her to bring out and sell any games that they wouldn't play but I was better off not as there (sp?) really probably isn't any way of doing so that wouldn't be rude or pushy.

[FlufflePuff]

Went on my first hunt of the last year or so and found some good stuff:

Maxi - 15
Mario's Time Machine
Nobunaga's Ambition 2
Mighty Final Fight
Skins Game
GI Joe (Taxan)
Destiny of the Emperor
Fear 1
Fear 2

As well as a bunch of other loose NES Games. The collection is getting very close to complete. I'm under 30 total licensed games now. Ebay may have to become my friend again.

Rummage, Thrift, and Half-Price Books finds today



3 crappy PS2 games, $1 each

2 HD-DVD movies, $3 each

Hit TV nostalgia gold at Half-Price Books! Jason of Star Command, one of my Saturday morning favorites, Complete Series DVD box set $9.99. And even better, volumes 1-4 of SCTV network 90 $14.99 each – I remember when these came out, they were $70-$80 each! All were new, and HPB had multiple copies.

Finished with an unusual Xbox find at Goodwill. Was headed out the door, when a cart came out, and an Xbox with a bunch of stuff taped to it was right on top. Priced $9.99, I couldn’t pass it up. It had power and RCA cables, an s-controller, a wireless controller, and this thing sticking out of the side



The screws on the bottom show it’s been opened, so I’m hoping for some sort of interesting mod when I power it up. Anyone have any idea what this is for?

[heybtbm]

"Found" on Amazon and Ebay. All brand new...

[NayusDante]

The thing coming out of the Xbox looks like a USB port, but it's not the right plug for a keyboard or mouse, etc.

I'm guessing it'll have a custom dash when you boot it up. I'd suggest putting XBMC on it and enjoying all the internet radio, media features, etc.

[SEGA_Queen]

My sister and I went to the next town over to check out the Value Village there. I saw a copy of Crash Bandicoot in the CD section, but someone had already stolen the disc. There were a couple of other games there, but there were either overpriced or crappy sports games so I left them. I did however find a CD by the Japanese group Dreams Come True called Sing or Die. I did a little research online, and it appears this was DCT's first American album.

[Baloo]

At a flea market today I got:

Goldeneye 007 (cart only) - $3
Playstation X with 1 Dualshock controller and hookups - $5
