EricDeLee Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I went on a road trip yesterday... found a nice hole in the wall for Atari 2600 games. However, out of the 1000+ carts I searched through yesterday, I only found 2 that I needed for my collection. LOL I got Homerun-Atari Pic Label (Atari Corp) and Codebreaker Atari pic. I did get a few nice deals on ebay. I got a boxed Dare Diver with a few other boxed games for a total of $9 Not in really great shape. But I needed the cart as well for my collection so that wasn't a bad price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STICH666 Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Not a bad day at all. N64 with all CIB games for $30 NES with 2 controllers, a zapper and all these games for $20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+thegoldenband Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 (edited) Purchased yesterday at the Stormville Airport Flea Market: $14 - seven Odyssey2 games, 3 CIB, 3 boxed, one loose; I don't have an O2, but may get one soon $10 - fifteen loose carts: 11 VCS (Adventure, Kaboom, Moon Patrol, Space Attack, Space Chase, Space Cavern, Solaris, Starmaster, Survival Run, Turmoil, Warlords), 3 INTV with overlays (Horse Racing, Snafu, Triple Action)...and one CV game (Artillery Duel) that I mistook for a VCS cart! Whoops. $97 - boxed Vectrex + 1 game (Scramble) with overlay and instructions I turned down: Loose Atari 7800 with no controllers or power supply, for $30 (from the guy who sold me the O2 carts; he offered to lower the price to $20, but untested and with no power supply...) Sega Saturn system for $40 (controllers, no box) tons of vendors who were selling loose N64 carts for $8-20, etc. The Vectrex is beautiful. I know people have snagged them for less, but I'm quite happy with it -- it was the reason we drove out to Stormville in the first place -- and the vendor, Frank, was very helpful and knowledgeable. Next to get the multicart! Edited September 6, 2009 by thegoldenband Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow460 Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 (edited) Today: RCT3, appears complete, $1.50. I've read it won't run on my computer, though, so I haven't even tried it. Altered Beast, also complete, $1. This will get some use in my LaserActive. Christmas NiGHTS...NTSC...expensive!? I must have been out of it. I got mine for $3.95 at BlockBuster. And yes, it is the North American version. Edited September 6, 2009 by shadow460 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, it is the North American version. You paid FOUR WHOLE BUCKS for Xmas Nights? I waited until they were blowing them out for ONE dollar each. Most of them even still had the CD sleeve. I also have a copy of the Japanese version. They actually printed up a full instruction booklet for it. No Europe version, but I do know from having seen pictures on ebay that there's different disc art on the EU version.

BDW Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Over the weekend I got: 2 Atari 2600 controllers 2 Gemstick controllers All four for 5 dollars. Primal Rage for Gameboy $4 TMNT 2 Back from the sewers $4 Resident Evil for PSX, complete FREE This was a deal from a pawn shop, buy 2 get 1 free. I had all of the other carts, I thought the prices were a bit expensive. But, the free Resident Evil made it worth it. A knob tv $5 The name of the tv escapes me right now, but it is a very nice tv.

RickHarrisMaine Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Picked up a beautiful (sans manual though) copy of Dragon Warrior VII, black label edition for PSX, it was $4.99 at Goodwill, and then picked up SaGa Frontier II (also sans manual) for $1.99.... the discs and cases are about as mint as it gets.....makes you wonder who keeps their stuff in this condition, but throws away manuals?

SpendTooMuchOnAtari Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I went to a used store today looking for a PS3 game for my brother and had no luck. However, I did see some 2600 games sitting in a clearance section. Nothing too exciting but I always like to see Atari games in the wild so just under 4 bucks for these: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STICH666 Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Went to a church rummage sale and found some surprising items. 2 Hori Gamecube AV cables from a Toys'R'Us in Japan CIB - $1 each Generic 1/8 inch style AC adapter (pong console i guess) - $1 E-Reader - $1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRGilbert Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Been away for a while, weekend have been too busy to go out to yard sales, but today I hit a few and got some nice deals. Not much game wise, but I did pick up a copy of Jetmoto for the for PS1 for a buck, and better yet a copy of Skullmonkeys for the PS1 for only $.25! I don't know if it's a good game or not, but apparently it's worth about $20 so I'd say that was a bargain. I also picked up a MS Xbox wireless-G adapter from a CL deal for $40, not cheap, but about average. Non-game stuff I did a LOT better today. First I got a JBL E150P 150 watt powered subwoofer for only $20! I'd been looking for a nice powered sub for my basement jam area for practicing. I'll pair this monster up with the Infinity bookshelf speakers I got a couple of months ago for $10. Tested it out too, it rocks, and it looks like it retailed for $250 not too long ago. Last great find today I almost missed but saw it at the last minute. I somewhat abused, but easily save-able Cort Artisan B4 Fretless bass. I always wanted a fretless, and this one definitely needs some love. It's dirty, and looks like someone left it with too high a string tension as the screws holding the bridge down are starting to pull out, but I know I can fix it. Otherwise, it's in pretty good shape and will be gorgeous when I'm done with it. Players seem to really dig these Cort basses too, which suprised me a little since I always thought of them as a lower end (no pun intended) maker. I'm too lazy to take pics of it, but I found some that are the exact same bass. These easily go for over $300 online, but I talked the guy down to $30 because of the bridge.

SnapCraft Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 All my shopping has been at Fleaz. I don't know how you guys find winners at garage sales. Nothing but kid clothes and blankets. Latest finds: 7 Vectrex carts (ordinary) / 10 Vectrex overlays (all match w/carts, 2 extra, 1 Minesweeper) $15 all in 1 bag (helped with the haggling) Atari 7800 (1 controller) [no AC] $5 hope it works! Philips CDi 220 (AC plug) [no controller] $12 works! love finding a "new" system. anyone know where to get the Genesis to CDi controller converter? Boxed Apple II / PC Joystick $5 Passes: Mac Plus [solo & yolo {get it?}] $35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That bass looks pretty nice! I remember years back that a friend of mine had a Cort strat copy, and it was a huge POS, but that bass looks like a completely different level of quality. That should be an easy fix. Nice score, especially for $30! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickHarrisMaine Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 (edited) I'll probably go dry the rest of the year, but picked up, again at Goodwill, mint condition pair of Greatest Hits Final Fantasy VII and VIII for $4.99 apiece. these are both complete and unscratched.

Frizo Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Just got my gameboy Camera and printer combo! It came with everything! Cable, and paper! But, it came with BLUE paper...not the black one. You can barely see the blue paper, so, im off to get some black gameboy printer paper! (All that for about 15 bucks!)

Sorry Frizo, no such thing as black paper. Only blue, yellow, and pink. I ordered a set from nintendo a while back Nice find on the Gameboy camera w/printer. I bought my camera at gamestop a real long time ago for about 3.99. Then, I bought a CIB printer off of ebay for about $17. I think you may have got a better deal than I did.

gulag picture radio Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Nice day for me. Dreamcast console + N64 PSU (for some reason I always find N64's what that missing)- $1.30 Dreamcast concept 4 steering wheel(little steep, but the console was so cheap) - $15 This has nothing to do with anything, but I got four robotic lights + controllers... they're the kind of things you'd see at a dance club. These are pro gear, and even came in two anvil road cases for $30. I got 'em for the road cases, but who knows... maybe I'll put on a really nice party one of these days.

DrLove0378 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I checked out a cool thrift store today and got a decent find for some NES games. Ikari Warriors II: Victory Road Gauntlet II Super Contra Ninja Gaiden All for $2.50. Not bad but definitely could have been better. That's actually pretty damn good, considering Super C is worth over 15 bucks these days. Ninja Gaiden holds some value, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
