Not a thrift find, but the Kijiji ad I listed yielded another haul. This was the one I mentioned in this thread: http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=131691

 

She wanted $125 for the whole lot so I said no thank you. So she lists it on Kijiji herself at that price. So I let a few days go by and decide for the heck of it, I'll email her and ask if she hasn't sold it yet, I'd offer $50 for the entire thing. She said yes so I picked up the whole thing. A much better deal and with the Gemini and the robin hood/sir lancelot double ender, it pretty much paid for itself (that can't be an R8, its not that rare). Since it also included an International Edition Seaquest with the "N" sticker, I'm including a scan for Rom Hunter. I'm pretty sure he needs this one.

No biggie today:

 

ps1: n2o Nitrous Oxide - 50 cents

xbox: dance dance revolution ultramix 3 - 75 cents

 

the cool thing is that I got a PowerPak NES flash cart. They sell 'em at retrousb.com, and they're amazingly hard to get. I got one, and it's magnificent from what I can tell. the beauty thing is that it's buying back a huge chunk of space for me - I can take a mess of NES that are littering the place and put them into storage. It's an expensive cart, but cheap compared to the real estate I'm getting back. I'll post a video review in the near future if you want to see.

Passed on a CIB Time Soldiers for $4. I don't collect SMS games but I wonder if I should have grabbed it anyway. :ponder:

 

Time Soldiers is my favorite SMS game, you should get it if you have a SMS!

 

If its still there next time I go, I'll grab it. I usually grab things for trade bait but I've been spending so much on Atari lately I thought I'd pass on stuff I'm not fairly sure I or anyone else can use.

Don't forget that the Radica SI makes a fantasitic 2600/7800/Colecovision controller with the right mods.

I've read that, actually here I think, but I'm not technically qualified for such a thing. :(

Picked up a beautiful boxed N64 saturday at Goodwill.

 

It's the Atomic Purple controller package. Came with two boxed and complete games too, Super Mario 64 and Zelda Ocarina of Time. Also had these two aftermarket programmable Genesis controllers too. Not bad for $19.99

 

I did pass on Shaq-Fu for the SNES, for $1.99
