Atariman Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Well, I really can't take credit for this find (as it is something that my father brought home), but he picked up an Intellivision for me for $2. Look at the picture and see if you can figure out why I was excited to see it (besides that fact that I needed something besides my Intellivision 2) My first thought was "Sylvania?!... and GTE?!" and I did a little research online. It's a harder-to-find version of the Intellivision that was produced by Sylvania and GTE that is pretty much identical to the standard versions (from what I've read so far). Anybody else have one of these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(You and I both know how they price stuff) It's just a place that he helps out at once a week. Every so often somebody brings in something interesting for sale and he picks it up. He has also gotten me a box of intellivision games and a couple other things in the past. (and yeah, it is in Elkhart) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsiddall Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Found a box of Atari computer floppies sitting on the floor at a local thrift coming back from lunch today. Looked around for the computer and anything else related but no such luck. I almost didn’t pick them up because I figured they were the typical pc disks that inhabit so many of these establishments. Nicely organized in a tinted storage case and Mule was poking up. Someone really loved the old Infocom games apparently. After today’s find I now have 3 Archon disks…heh. Just wish they had kept the original EA "albums" and Infocom boxes. I think those filing cases were the worst thing to ever come along as they almost beg the owner to throw the boxes away. Case of floppies and 30 disks: $3.24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope - the GameXChange is in Kokomo (and it is no way affiliated with VGE). Yeah, I was browsing through the CDs (in Carmel) thinking about how the prices are way too high on most of the stuff ($20 for a PSX with NO cords or anything) when I saw the tell-tale colored stripe going across the top of the end of the TG16 game and did a double-take, picked it up, and decided I could part with my $2 The most surprising Elkhart GW find would probably have to be the boxed Neo Geo Pocket Color game I found awhile back (Samurai Showdown 2). I don't think I ever asked to see something in the glass case so fast. Edited August 17, 2007 by atariman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightSprinter Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Who would've thought that a trip to the outskirts of the Orlando/Disney area would've turned up a good haul. Here's what I got at each GoodWill I stopped at. Kissimmee: Saitek X-45 loose (stick AND throttle) for $9.99, Quake and Duke Nukem 3D Platinum Pack for $3.99 each. St. Cloud: M-Audio eVolution MK-249C USB/MIDI keyboard controller (and it works!) for $14.99 I scored well today. Now I have a joystick I can use for MechWarrior.

Fighter17 Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Got this on Thursday: All the Namco Museum games for the JP PSX (Vols 2 and 3 are reprints, the rest are originals). Came with the rare collectors box and a memory card. Total: $90 shipped. Very worth it to purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
