How does it feel? Are they micro switches? AX Without taking it apart, it feels like it uses microswitches. It also has a slot for "gamekeys" which I assume are like other cartridges containing more games, which seems to me to defeat the purpose of an all in one plug and play unit.

jferio Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Just one find, but I've been wanting this game. Pity the manual has water damage and the pages are stuck together. Valkyrie Profile: $4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the.golden.ax Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Man, two Valkyrie Profiles found in one day for cheap. This after a few weeks of my buying one for nearly $50 Oh well... I did find one for 97 cents once, and sold it like a dumb ass before I was collecting PSX. At least I got $100ish for it (was around 2005).

SpendTooMuchOnAtari Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 I found a Valkyrie Profile not long ago for $5 and got in the upper 70's for it on ebay. I guess the price went down in the last 5 years, many things have. Still a great profit for all of us that got it for cheap or awesome to add to your collection.

A few other customers and I have had a talk with the owners about that issue.

Reaperman Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 (edited) It would appear that I've just taken myself a ~$30 gamble on a recently deceased Vectrex. eBay Auction -- Item Number: 320557101430 I already have a pair of controllers and a scramble cart from years of thrift store hunting, but we'll see how repairs go before I call victory on this one. No sound or vid outside of a white dot. recently worked, but the fact that I was only competing against one other bidder is a bit worrisome.

I've seen plenty of ugly shell units (cracked) sell cheap but working. I think you did pretty good for $30 SHIPPED. At first I didn't think so till I saw that was the total after shipping.

Reaperman, I am sending out some mojo for you...I predict the package will get jostled around just enough in transit to make it work again. Happy Scrambling!!!

Almost Rice Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I picked up a Atari 8bit monitor port to RCA audio/video cable from Goodwill for $2. Nothing special but it is something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfutrel Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Diablo Battle Chest - $9.99 Complete with all discs, instructions, strategy guide and catalog. Didn't know there were board games or books based on their games.... Radeon 7500 64MB DDR AGP video card - $9.99 Have not tried the card to see if it works. It looks unused. I know it's not the fastest thing in the world, but for what I play it's fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLeaf Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 (edited) I don't usually see these in the wild: Atari XEGS with keyboard + Hardball Bug Hunt Flight Sim 2 Barnyard Blaster Food Fight Ace of Aces Blue Max Rescue On Fractalus Works great. Tested the ram, all good, nice clean unit - only $9.99 for everything at Value Village. Its a little yellowed but the picture makes it worse than it is. Nice back up unit Edited July 6, 2010 by AtariLeaf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STICH666 Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Nice find Atarileaf. I hit up some thrift shops today and I picked up a White dualshock PSone controller, Tyco RC Demo for the PS1, and a Dreamcast 3rd party memory card. I still have yet to check that.

4Ks Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I snagged a great deal on a Game Boy Advance SP (I think it's the original SP). It comes with Street Fighter Alpha 3 (score!), Jake Long (I'll probably sell this), Wade Hixton's Counter Punch (don't know about this), FIFA Soccer 2003 (definitely selling this), Konami Arcade Advance (yay!), Namco Museum (another score), Crash Bandicoot: The Huge Adventure (don't know), and a charger. Here's the auction: eBay Auction -- Item Number: 280530212383 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shephda Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Went to a local shop tonight and finally struck a deal on a near perfect top loading NES! This completes my Nintendo console collection (except for a few of the color variation N64's). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychoKittyNet Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Tried again a bit more today, not much better Pac-Man (Atari 2600) $0.50 I know its not a great port, but I have just got my 2600 recently so.... Defender (Atari 2600) $0.50 :3 Combat (Atari 2600) $0.50 :3 Gremlins 2 (NES) $3 I expected this to suck, oddly it did not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
