April 2007 Finds

[RyanLec84]

Went to the local flea market today and had a not-so-great time.

Not because there wasn't any great finds. But the guy selling the Genesis games kept grabbing the wrong items in the display case and not the games and when I tried to explain to him a HUNDRED times what I was pointing at he still kept grabbing the wrong items and got an attitude with me.

Then I saw another vendor with an original,complete GameBoy. I asked how much? And he said $20. I offered him $10 and he agreed. But when I was talking with him about the price some girl gave me a dirty look and made a rude comment.

It's called a FLEA MARKET! Ever hear of HAGGELING? That's the point! DUH!

RRRRRrrrrr!!!!! Anyways.....here's what I found:

1.Minty and Complete "Alterd Beast" for the Genesis-$6
2.Minty and Complete "Streets of Rage 2" for the Genesis-$8
3.Minty and Complete "Cyborg Justice" for the Genesis-$4
4.Complete and almost totally clean original GameBoy-$10

Getting really peed-off at the flea market from snotty vendors and patrons.....PRICELESS!!!!!

Not bad at all.

Cornelius:
That NES goodness looks great! It's always nice to find nicely boxed complete stuff.


I went to the thrift store and found a PC game:

This lot of PS1 games came in the mail late last week. The discs are in fantastic condition. I've already started parting it out. I really just wanted the demo discs.

I found an auction for a Gold NES NWC 1990 cart starting at only $24, I didn't want anyone to find out so I could buy it cheap but unfortunately its ending soon and its over $7K now.

[InsaneDavid]

Out at the local flea market today, things started off really slow but didn't end too badly. Nothing super cheap, it was more of a "fair price" day but I'm not complaining.

Digging through some boxes of miscellaneous video game items uncovered the following for $10...

GB - AC Adapter / Battery Pack
PS2 - Emerald Green DualShock2 controller
NES - Booklets for Baseball Stars, Battletoads, George Forman's KO Boxing, Golf, and NES Play Action Football

After my purchase the seller asked my why I wasn't interested in the PSOne he had (I hadn't even seen it) and offered to sell it for $20. After a little back and forth in my head I picked it up. It's 100% complete and minty aside from a dent in the box - but given how these things used to arrive at retail chains it could have always been that way. I have a boxed PSOne LCD screen sitting around collecting dust so I'll get some use out of it. The GameBoy battery pack amazingly still holds a charge but the PS2 controller needs some work. I think the cord is simply bad, either way it's fine.



Box of VCS and 5200 stuff further down from another seller, including a beat to snot heavy-sixer - really not interested. Did grab a couple games from him though, both in excellent condition.

VCS - Porky's ($0.50)
VCS - Reactor ($0.50)



Not much else, found a mint Power Base Converter for $5, been looking for one for quite awhile. It's awaiting being modified to work with the JVC X'Eye, a modification I will be documenting. Also picked up an NES AC adapter for $1, needs to be tested still. On the way out I went through the big junk dealer's piles of wares and came across this for $1...



I know it's been reprented under a different title so it doesn't fetch what it once did, but I bought it to read it anyway. Still an awesome find and it's in great condition, a rarity for books at the flea market.

I found a Game Gear at Play'N'Trade for 9.99, but it was missing a battery cover so the dude gave me ten percent off. I love how they will cut deals with you since it is not owned by a corporation.

[Perkar]

NES system with all hookups (ac, rf, AND standard AV), 2 official controllers, boxed nes max, smb/dh, complete smb 2, complete lee trevino's fighting golf, and "compute's guide to nintendo games" $20

[InsaneDavid]

Three PM's later... Yes, the PBC does work with the JVC X'Eye, the shell just doesn't fit atop it...



...of course, that can be modified.

[Atarian75]

Stopped at Goodwill yesterday on the way to a friends house and picked up the following.

Dreamcast (CIB) $19.99
Draconus Cult of the Wyrm (CIB) $1.99
Quake III Arena (CIB) $1.99

[xtremegamer]

Goodwill finds:

Mario Kart 64, Loose, $4
Double Dribble, w/sleeve, $1
Tetris, w/sleeve, $1
NBA Live 95, Genesis, Complete, $2

[theshizzle3000]

I traded loose ends in at Play'N'Trade and was able to get the following:

Mick and Mack as The Global Gladiators (GEN) CIB
Todd's Adventures in Slime World (GEN) CIB
Taboo: The Sixth Sense (NES) Loose
WCW World Championship Wrestling (NES) Loose
Pin-Bot (NES) Loose
G-Loc Air Battle (GAMEGEAR) Loose

[RadiantSvgun]

Three PM's later... Yes, the PBC does work with the JVC X'Eye, the shell just doesn't fit atop it...



...of course, that can be modified.

That looks way more space friendly than my current setup of genesis model 1+ Sega CD & 32x. I'll have to start looking for one, they look pretty cool. I'll bet they are expensive though.

I haven't bought much this month, I'm saving for a JP ps2, and i'm almost there.

I picked up for $5 each:

Magic Sword SNES
Knights of the Round SNES

Both are loose and in need of some cleaning.

[Cornelius]

Three PM's later... Yes, the PBC does work with the JVC X'Eye, the shell just doesn't fit atop it...

That is very cool. Close to the ultimate Sega Gaming rig.

I lucked out on another Craigslist find... top-loader w/ 16 games, zapper, hookups, 2 dogbone controllers, and it all came in a cool crate . Originally listed for $50; someone offered him 80 but never followed through, so I matched that price. Too much??? I thought it was a good buy, given that several games were high on my want-list (though nothing all that special), and I've wanted a top-loader. The games are Chip'n'Dale, Castlevania 1-3, SMB/DH, SMB 2&3, Mario Bros., Bubble Bobble, Rampage, Donkey Kong Classics, Pipe Dreams, Zelda 1&2, Contra, and tetris. A few have manuals that are in great condition.
