January 2009 Finds

[Half Cab Leroy]

I got a TurboExpress with the TurboVision TV tuner and the following games:
Bloody Wolf
Hit the Ice
Final Lap Twin
Alien Crush
Sonic Spike
Power Golf
Pac-Land

Everything was loose except for the TurboVision which came with the instructions. Got everything for free from a friend.

I am deeply, deeply saddened you can buy NES emo gear at Hot Topic. Slightly less saddened that you did.

Topic's been carrying gamer shirts. It's the "in" thing to be retro, don'tcha know?

I bought this shirt just because people look at me funny and tend to respect my personal space when I wear it

I got that shirt for Christmas along with a Zelda shirt that says "Everything I learned from Zelda...collect all the coins you can." I don't remember there being any coins in Zelda. To make it better it has the Nintendo seal of quality. So wtf did they even read it or do they just license shit without caring about if it is accurate or not.

Then this is probably the first time in my 30 years of life that I've been "in". This ties right into a package that came for me today...

Here is my view as I type this.


Also, yesterday I picked up a black GB micro (also has pink faceplate) with THPS4, Midway's Greatest Arcade Hits, SW New Droid Army, and Fortress, all for $15 off CL. While I was on the phone with the woman, she got a call from someone else that offered her $30, but she kept the not-quite-finished deal with me! $15 was the asking price. That's happened a couple times to me, though I'm sure the opposite has happened a lot more times, it just is harder to know when that occurs. Now I just have to figure out how to switch the faceplates.

Just got another needed Xbox kiosk disc thanks to our very own bcks007.

[Tupin]

SNES Turbo Touch 360 and Pac-Man on the NES.

Thanks, Cornelius!

Lookie what I found at my local Salvation Army today. 30 Boxed GBA Shrek the Third for $2.99 each. (the rest are behind the Spiderman things on the bottom) ! I went home and checked the ebay prices, saw that they are getting $7.50 on up and promptly returned to buy them all. It's easy money! (as soon as the shipping boxes I ordered online arrives in that is). Of course it'll take all year listing 1 box a week, but I'm patient. !

Couldn't imagine owning that many of the same game...

Were they sealed?

Thats what I had to do with my Sega Saturn PS2 controllers. I've sold about 15 of those over the last two years on ebay. I remember the first one going for $70 or some such rubbish. The last two went for $170 each. Of course, those are actually very rare but still kind of similar as far as selling multiple copies of the same item. I now have some demos I have to get rid of, but instead of selling them seperately(which would literally take forever) I'm just giving them away as free gifts when I sell other stuff.

Monday the 5th's finds:


A bunch of NES games... $10 for everything, except Bubble Bobble, that was $4. What's up with that Indiana Jones game? I'd never seen it before. Oh and get this, the guy who sold me Bubble Bobble wanted $15 for the game the first time I asked him two months ago.


$1 each. My god, is that Radiohead album that old already?


Later, I went to Big Lots, looking for some cheap CDR media (they didn't have any) but I noticed a new shipment of DVDs came in, and I got these, as marked plus tax.

...


Look, I didn't want to buy that stupid Boogie game but it included a microphone, and I'd rather pay $10 for a microphone AND a game than the $25 that Gamestop wanted for a third party mic. American Idol Encore was 10 bucks, too. Now all I need is the original KR American Idol and my collection will be complete. Or something. :P

Capote and In Cold Blood both for $3. Nice find.

[Cornelius]

Not really a find, but I'm pretty happy with myself about this one, so I want to brag. Yesterday in addition to the shoes, my ordered DS bottom LCD screen came. I got a chance to put it in the DS I paid $40 for w/ a broken screen, and it works great! So for $54.85 (plus fun labor) I got a working DS lite, a spare touchscreen (ordered one just in case, but it was only the LCD that was damaged), and a triwing bit. Dealextreme.com is a pretty amazing site for cheap stuff. Oh, also included in that was a 4-pack of styluses.

You and me both.

Nice shoes, BTW

[aaron7]

and the Zelda cart is yellow, but they didn't have it in 2XL.

A yellow Zelda cart could actually be correct as I believe it was one of the NES test carts. Unless I'm thinking of another... I know Duck Hunt was one of them.

[Kitsune Sniper]

Capote and In Cold Blood both for $3. Nice find.

Fun fact: The same bin had Capote and In Cold Blood, single releases, for $3 too.

Edit: All you people complaining about the Yellow cart have to think about this - it's not easy, or cheap, to put golden foil color on a shirt.

[eskobar]

You are correct

[Cobra Commander]

Resident Evil 2 for Gamecube for $10 at a pawn shop. My RE GC collection is now complete!
