OK, my Thursday finds are:

 

DS Clubhouse Games (complete) $8.99

DS New Super Mario Bros. (complete) $8.99

DS Pokemon Diamond (new from Radio Shack on Clearance for my son, personal use) $19.97

DS Pokemon Diamond Display Case Artwork and Case (talked Radio Shack guy into giving it up) $FREE

DVD's marked $5.99 were from Hollywood Video's Buy 2 get 2 free so $12 plus tax for those four

3 Misc DVD's $4.00

GUIDES - all Zelda guides for $18

PS1 Contra Adventure (complete and nice) $6

5 Genesis carts for $5 from Game Crazy

 

The DINOSAUR Disney Soundtrack CD is the Limited Edition of only 25,000 worldwide and it was $2.99 at Goodwill. I hope it does well on ebay because I don't want this thing!

 

From this haul, I am keeping the Pokemon Diamond game for my son and the Pokemon Diamon display case thing for my collection. Also, Ringu 2 and Hi Hi Puffi Ami Yumi DVD's for my daughter. Everything else is off to various Marketplaces or an ebay auction near you!

:cool:

 

EDIT: I forgot, I'm keeping that Contra PS1 game as well. Awesome!

Nice, that Clubhouse Games can be hard to find.

 

Yep and I already have one so this is for sale. I actually had about $8 credit at the store that I bought these two DS games so I did pretty good. I think a complete Clubhouse Games brings around $40 IIRC.

I sold a cart only not long ago that I found at a thrift for $15 and I think I got close to $40 for it.

 

I love thrifts, swaps, pawns and what have you! :D

Bookman's? I hate you.

 

Why hate me?

 

Because you have a Bookmans and I don't.

 

I visited Phoenix and a Bookmans a couple of months back. That place is classic gaming heaven. I loaded up on Genesis and Saturn games, and even picked up Defender for the ColecoVision.

 

Now I'm back home and stuck with ten zillion Gamestops.

 

I hate you. :D

Star Wars KOTR: The Sith Lords, XBox, complete, minty condition, $6.00 at a pawn shop

 

With last weeks pawn shop haul of Silent Hill, Parappa the Rapper, and Parasite Eve, I turned them on amazon and paid for my son's birthday present, a shiny new (used from the bike shop, but in awesome condition) blue Diamondback mountain bike. 7 whole gears! The little 9 year old dude is thrilled!

 

I'd have liked to have kept all of these games, and I bought them all for my collection, but when I checked on Amazon to learn a bit more about them and saw the prices they were getting, and well, my kids birthday was on the way.....

 

I probably would have been scared of Silent Hill though...... :P

Mr. Do's Castle is tops in that lot at R8, easily worth more than $25 loose by itself. (I got mine for $2, though! :P )

They are listing it as $250 loose and perhaps on crack or made a mistake. ;)

 

EDIT:

Otherwise, I guess THIS is a steal!

 

Even THIS would be pretty good!

 

Atari2600.com pays $24 - here is a link - LINK

 

This is in NO WAY knocking your find, it's awesome...I'm just stating that DP may be a bit off here. Really man, Excellent Score, CONGRATS! :)

I have the Miracle keyboard, and the carts for both NES and SNES, but I've never found the special cables to connect it to either system. One of these days I guess that I'll have to find the pinout and make my own... I don't really even know how fun it is. I already play piano, so I'd just be wanting to see how those systems teach kids to play. Gotta be better than Melody Blaster for the Intellivision II keyboard! ;)

Finally, after a few months of not being able to go out, I hit a couple of flea markets today. I came home with Starship Hector for $3, which was fantastic because it finishes off my NES Hudson Caravan collection. I also found Little Ninja Bros. for $3, and Illusion of Gaia for $4... so overall not too bad a day, but I still wish that my area had more to offer in terms of flea markets and goodwills.

Hi all,

Nothing major and not Atari but went to Circuit City on Saturday and they had the limited edition of Prey for the Xbox 360 on sale for $16.97, got to the register and it rang up as $13.94. You get the art book and two lead miniatures with it. Not a bad deal for $14 bucks.

Anyone remember Green Jello....they had to change their name to Green Jelly because of some sort of lawsuit with the actual Jello company. I thought this cassette was cool because it was "pre-lawsuit" :lol:

 

odd you should mention them. They've actually got quite a large tour going on, and IIRC they're stopping out by me later this month. I really don't want to go, but it might be fun to peoplewatch and figure out exactly who shows up to a one hit wonder reunion tour.

 

Remembering back, they did the soundtrack to at least one of the spiderman beat'em ups on snes. I really think I would have hated those games were it not for green jelly.

 

indeed odd, I was playing the CD this weekend at the brewery! still have the cereal killer video album thingy.

sorta the west coast GWAR.

I didn't know they were still around.. better look into it.

 

hey they're on tour and coming to town! might have to check that out

nothing major, just picked up a nice boxed Pelican DDR Pad for the cube, ps2, and xbox at goodwill for $1.99

 

this was the second goodwill I hit today, after some little emo dude was getting ready to drop $20 on a Genesis 1. I passed on a clean looking PSOne and two controllers, and all cords for $12.99, just didn't want it, you know?

 

Do you know they play Dance Dance Revolution at my kids school on rainy days? They loved it when it was tried there. I've never played it, but I figured the pad was cheap enough, now to find a DDR game.
