STICH666 Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I rarely ever curse on here but OH MY FUCKING GOD!!!!! I went to a decent looking garage sale today. Nothing but old computers until I stumbled across THIS! I also met the guy who owned it. His name is....well lets just call him Joe M. He asked me if I knew what it was of course and I told him a dev PS1. He then sold it to me over the wigger little kid who wanted it because he thought it was spray painted. Best garage sale ever!!!!

CGQuarterly Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Wow Stitch, that's a great find. Did you get any story about why the guy had it? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STICH666 Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Wow Stitch, that's a great find. Did you get any story about why the guy had it? Chris He was a developer for Acclaim back in the early to mid 90's. The rest really explains itself. He also has a dev SNES and N64 w/DD. He was telling me that he was going crazy over development of Bart's Nightmare. He said "the mentality of the CEOs was if they could sell a block of wood in a box they would". Quantity over quality. It's good to hear that it wasn't always the developer's fault when a game was shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even plays burnt games so if that guy ever sells his PS1 development stash, I'll be right on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEgamer Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Nice find on the PS1 dev unit Stitch. Some stuff I found today for $7 total: Vic-20 system w/ box, manual, styrofoam, but no power supply or hookups Atari Super Pong system, no power supply Timex Sinclair ZX81, just the unit, no hookups I hate it that most systems I come across have no hookups, they should at least have the power supplies to them I also saw a Game Wave at Goodwill. It was only the system (didn't have the other half with it that holds the remotes) with the wrong remote taped to it and they wanted 15 for it, so I passed.

the.golden.ax Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Dang Stich. I'd love to put one of those in my Kiosk. I scored some 32x goodness yesterday. Kolarbi, Tempo, and Motherbase for $6 at one thrift store (CIB!) and then a loose Metroid II for GB $1.59 and Baman Returns NES (minty in the box $6.99 ... I know high) from another store.

As for a trade for that PS2 am sorry to say out of trade stuff at the moment. Thanks. It's been excellent for garage sales this year. Look at this CIB microswitch 2600 joystick I got for $5. Yes that's real leather on the handle. Edited August 2, 2009 by STICH666 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whovian Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 I had an interesting week for finds... Stopped at an estate sale, and got a stand alone Coleco Adam with printer, and keyboard with controllers, 2 games (Buck Rogers and DK Jr) plus 4 applications and 3 blanks for $2.50. I haven't decided if I'm gonna sell. Depends on if I get it to work probably. Also got an Xbox RF for 50 cents, PS2 Beat Pad for $1.99, and a Galaxian 2 handheld from 1981. I never find these, and was floored! On a side note I picked up DVD sets of Birds of Prey and V : The Series for $4.99ea, and Happy Days season 1 for $5.99 that's sealed.

jboypacman Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Man our area is so dry for vintage/classic gaming stuff its just crazy and when things do turn up either i don't have the cash or the other collectors in the area i know have already grabbed it all up. I get jealous when i see some of the awesome finds you guys get but still its cool to read about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate it when that happens -- I always dream I'm going to sleep with them, and on many occasions I've looked around my bed to find the games...

Chris My girlfriend's brother is moving, and is trying to keep things light. These are all systems that were dumped at his house over the years by his ne'er do well friends, and nobody plays 'em anymore. So I'm going to give them a scrub and do some trades. SNES consoles still seem to get around $35 somehow... sometimes more for the junior console. Would be great as I can use the scratch...
