Itchy Koala Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 When I first joined here I was pretty surprised to find that there was no thread for general pickups/buys. Sure we have a thread for thrift finds, but because not everything we buy is found at a thrift store, I figured I'd make a thread for general gaming related buys. Whether its online, at a local gaming store, Best Buy, Craigslist, etc. Here we go! Panasonic 3do with controllers Sega 32X NES Xbox 360 controller Misc games All for 21 dollars at a local game store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKC Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 No photo (don't really feel like taking a photo of a single game ) but I picked up Final Fantasy VII for the PS1. Got it for $25 shipped which hearing about and looking at some of the prices of it on Ebay was an alright price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianC Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 (edited) I find FFVII prices frustrating since it's a common game with a common greatest hits re-release. Picked up a huge haul at Toomanygames. Panel de Pon SFC complete for 25, Defender Intellivision, Trick Shot 2600, and Wizard of Wor 2600 for 5, Atari 800 disks for 25 cents each (MULE, Super Boulderdash, Archon II, and Cross Country Road Race), Star Raiders 2 800 for 8 dollars, Midnight Magic 800 for 9 dollars, Duck Tales NES, Mash 2600, Gorf 2600, AD&D Intellivision, and Flashback Genesis (doh, posted Flashback 2 by mistake, but this is the game Flashback, not the thing with built in games) together for 9 dollars, Hal Wrestling GB for 3, Xevious and Jackal NES for 5, Kid Dracula Famicom for 20, Pressure Cooker 2600 for 6 or 7, Spider Fighter 2600 for 4, Turmoil 2600 for 5, and I got trade ins at a couple places (mostly commons I had multiple copies of). Mostly loose, but AD&D and Panel de Pon were complete (AD&D had the overlays, as well as box and manual). I also got a new Blackberry Bold 9780 at the T-Mobile booth. Much better than my previous phone. Picked up a neat pixel art Bob from Bubble Bobble for my mom.

bennybingo Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Atari 2600 woody console with 19 Games and joysticks for $41 off of eBay. I can't believe I saw this and didn't even have a minor bidding war. You will understand why when you see what's in the picture (and no...it's not the joystick missing its' boot): I always wanted a T-handle for my collection!!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itchy Koala Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 Yeah I've heard about it but this is the first time I've actually seen it. As for the gameplay I'll let you know once I get a chance to play it. Dang work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimo Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Got a boxed Atari 810 disc drive and a loose 1050 Disc drive for free at a computer meet last weekend. They both work!! Bought a Dreamcast+hookups+2 games for £15 from the same show. Wish I had picked up the Dreamcast arcade stick at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theredlineboss Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 (edited) Most of the stuff I pick up is @ thrift stores, but I just picked up a NES-themed clock for $2 at a local flea market. And here are a few other recent buys: Taito Legends & Geometry Wars: $12 /ea Contra Hard Corps: $4 Robocop vs Terminator: $5 And the 360...I have had my 2007-build 360 for a few years now, and breakdowns have been becoming quite common. I believe I've had to fix it 5 times now. So...out with the old, and in with the new. And bonus: I won a $110 gift card @ work, so that defrayed the cost of it quite a bit. -Rob -Rob Edited May 15, 2011 by theredlineboss 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seob Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 For only 6 euro's at a local shop, i picked up a vectrex in pristine condition, only had to swap out 1 spring inside the controller. Almost no buzzing sound. With 2x minestorm overlay, 1x boxed spike with manual and overlay, 1x boxed hyperchase with manual and overlay, 1x boxed Bezerk with overlay and 1x boxed soccer with overlay. The boxes are in bad shape, but the overlays are fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algus Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 In addition to some badly needed dust covers for my NES library I picked up a stack of (mostly common) games that I didn't have Captain Skyhawk Jaws Little Nemo: The Dream Master Castlevania Punch-Out Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game 3-D World Runner Snake Rattle n' Roll Fester's Quest The seller combined shipping on everything for a pretty nice discount too. Of course I bought so many games that I don't think I'll have enough dust covers for my current collection now but oh well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
