Weekend Finds 9/18-9/20
Ok, I'll start:
Passed up a boxed original Genesis cause the lady wanted $15 and the box had some damage. Not worth it. But at the next sale:
$2 each:
Galaxian handheld Coleco mini-arcade unit
Pac-Man handheld Coleco mini-arcade unit
Yay! I've never found these in the wild before! Both are a bit dirty, and neither has perfect stickers (the marquee stickers on both are torn too) But they seem like they'll work (haven't tested em yet)! Did I do good?

Hell yes that's good, or at least I reckon. Where'd you get em from? Garage sale?
I haven't gotten anything yet. Hit the local pawn, quite a few Saturn games, but all commons I don't really need. Still, I'll probably head back there on Monday or something, see if there's anything I might even POSSIBLY want before they move the merchandise to the next store.
I came across a sega master system that i could have brought for 16 dollars.No box but all orginial parts.Does work but with no games.I did not know if i should brought it or not.Should i?
Nothing yet, but I got this guy's number that has two boxes full of C64 stuff (no monitor tho

Holy crap. It's been a while.
I'm excited, I bid on and won a Nintendo Super Famicom
console
1 controller
power adapter
AV cables
and Super Mario World
$42.00 + $16.00 S&H
Considering the price of an SFC power adapter then that alone makes this a good deal IMO.

Prices? I had to pay $15 for my Mana in a flea market in Vegas (Right before CGE, actually). I'm curious as to what you got yours for.
I traded 4 games that I got for about $5 a piece towards Mana (Paper Mario, Last Blade 2, Heroes of Might and Magic, and Evilzone). I could of sold them all and got more, but I needed Mana NOW!
@Maxlords: If you can't make your tabletop games work after putting in new C batteries, try to nudge them tight with a piece of paper. i learned the hard way that C batteries are slightly smaller now than they were 20 years ago. For example, I need to do the paper nudge trick for both my tabletop DK Jr. and my Entex Defender, while I don't need to with my Scramble tabletop.
went to the flea market, lady had a box of about 20 2600/7800 games, nothing worth anything, but a ton of controllers. i said $30 for the box, she shit. no i want $6 for the games. ok then how about the controllers. NO i only sell them when i have ataris to sell with them. i just shrugged and left.
across the street, 100 feet away is a garage sale:
$50 total:
atari 7800, complete, 8 controllers, 52 games.
sega pico, complete, 6 games(things)
nes 10 games
genesis 13 games
virtual boy with tennis.
screw you flea market that smells like piss.
My life and perception has changed, but my principals are the same.
hmm
It's been really dry around here for ages. Several reasons. First of all, the only game shop in town that stocks anything older than PS1 has been downsizing their retro section. AND some guy who has started working there collects Saturn, so anything vaguely interesting disappears before it even hits the shelf
However... I picked up :
Mighty Hits (Saturn PAL) for £5 BIN on ebay (first ebay bargain I've had for quite a while!)
Twinkle Star Sprites in a trade with a Japanese contact. I am loving that game already! Played it for an hour or so with my flatmate this morning when it arrived. He was an instant convert!
There's this charity shop that I drop into now and again, but I don't really go that often because they never have any games. Well I went in this week, and lo and behold, a few Megadrive games on the counter, all complete, all £2 ($3) each. Sadly, only Aladdin, some sports game and Sylvester and Tweety. "Got any more of these?" I asked. "Oh, you should have come in a few days ago" said the old lady, "We had a pile this high!" (indicates head height).
Damn it!! I don't want to think what I might have missed! I might go back for Sylvester and Tweety, but I'm pretty skint and I'm not sure that it's a particularly great game.
