BDW Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 (Duct tape + super glue) x soldering iron = good as new? More like T-molding + Side art + new coin mech + monitor + new PCB + controls + marquee light + I cant even list it all, that thing looks like it has been through hell and back. It's going to need everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STICH666 Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 lol I didn't pick it up. Everything was gutted. No PCB, Power supply, monitor or any of the brackets inside. The only things left were the marquis which was in unbelievably good shape and the speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGQuarterly Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I would have pulled out the marquee and left the rest. Those things can look good on the wall. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariLeaf Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 This was one of those "right place right time" deals. Now normally, Value Village prices their SNES games at $5.99 EACH so I was shocked to find packs of 4 games at $3.99 per pack. So basically a buck per game. A couple of N64 games in the lot too and I was happy to find the Super Gameboy. Three of the four packs had a Super Mario World in it too.

SpendTooMuchOnAtari Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I traded in some books, DVDs and CDs that I have acquired from yard sales over the past few weeks and got trade dollars. I am most excited for the GameGear Fatal Fury Special cart, that one is fairly hard-to-find. My son picked out the Tamagotchi game for himself, all others will be added to my collection. I love giving games new cases that have stickers all over them or are just old looking, it makes them look new again! The GameCube game is in excellent condition, I would buy just about any Cube game I don't have if it's $1.99. $1.99 - GC Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events $7.99 - DS Tamagotchi Connection Corner Shop 2 $9.99 - DS Mazes of Fate $2.99 - GG Bart vs. the World $2.99 - GG Fatal Fury Special Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the.golden.ax Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Not bad on that Fatal Fury for GG, I don't have that yet. Coarse I only do CIB, but for that title I'd buy a cart if I found it and wait out the box. Great game. AX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like CIB but take them as they come, especially at $2.99 in trade dollars. I tested it but have yet to sit down and play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like CIB but take them as they come, especially at $2.99 in trade dollars. I tested it but have yet to sit down and play. Yeah, all the moves from the big Neo Geo game seem to be there. Mai even has jiggly boobs. I'm pretty sure that they never made this in a grid box (my preference for collecting) I think it was purple stripe in America, Picture box in Europe, and white in Japan. I'd be leaning towards the Picture box, and Purple if it ever showed up at a good price. The loose cart tends to go over $10. While the boxed generally try to fetch $40 or higher. It's one of those titles. AX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jferio Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Just one nice, big find, but it's a big one. PS1 Final Fantasy VII: $3. Complete. Nearly mint. The discs are hardly touched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almost Rice Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I picked up 8 loose Genesis games at $1 each at my local GW. 1 of which will house the Everdrive. You can see how many times they marked it down. This GW tends to be overpriced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpendTooMuchOnAtari Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Don't you just love when they put the price sticker right on the label. I hope they peel off nice for ya. Nice find at a buck each! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shephda Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Stopped by a local thrift today, been dried up for the past week or so. Today I found Paper Mario for the N64, in box sans manual for $2.99! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almost Rice Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 (edited) I hope they peel off nice for ya. Nice find at a buck each! I pulled the price off James Pond and it looked ok. Some of the other labels are already rough and I probably wont care @ $1. They had another 6 games but I did not feel like getting golf or football games. Using Pond, I just verified the Nomad I picked up a few weeks ago works. They originally priced video game carts originally at $5. They also marked down SNES to $2. I don't even know why they differentiated them. I also found out they dumped a few of the systems and associated accessories. It looks like they only wanted to hold 2 mail bins full instead of overflowing 3 they had last week. I let them know that if they did't price it so high to begin with it would actually move off the shelf.

GregadetH Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Got my thrift store fix on the way home from the Doc's office. I found a "broken" Valor in dash DVD player for $4. Took a chance and had it fixed in 5 minutes time. It'll come in handy when my girl and I take our road trip to Texas next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumbojohnny Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 While it is not a large find, it certainly is a nice one NES Araknoid for $1.00.....oh and it came with the Arkanoid controller. These on Ebay can get up to around $30-35 together. Thank you Goodwill, I am proud to be a shopper in your store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csgx1 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Stopped by a local thrift today, been dried up for the past week or so. Today I found Paper Mario for the N64, in box sans manual for $2.99! Great find! I've been wanting that game. Pretty dry for the last few months for me too at the local thrift store. Only thing I picked up was a loose, beat up copy of Kid Icarus NES for $1.99. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpendTooMuchOnAtari Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Paper Mario is a great game for the N64, I recently bought it from the Wii Store and played through it again. Great find for $2.99! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shephda Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Thanks folks! I was very surprised at how heavy that cart seems compared to other N64 carts, is this real or just my imagination..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironic that a game with the word "Paper" in it would be so heavy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
