Famicoman Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Well, if you can call it thrifting, at a Blockbuster, I got Stuntman for the PS2 for 10 bucks, and at a fleamarket, Kirby and the crystal shards for the N64 for 4 bucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveW Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 Found a Famicom clone shaped like a PlayStation, $6.95, found another 6 button Sega Saturn controller, $1.95, and in the same thrift store, I picked up a Polaris model 60AZ-D refracting telescope (no tripod) for $19.95. Also a copy of Greendog and Hard Drivin' for the Genesis, $4 each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleGreen Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 Just an update to my Bag-o-crap: The Genesis works fine. I just needed to unscrew the top & re-seat the power switch. I'm pretty happy with my haul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsteel Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 i just picked up AQUATTACK ( loose cart only) for Colecovision. I paid $7.98.... I'm still pretty new to collecting , I decided to buy it after seeing a sealed one on ebay go for $92.00.. So I'm thinking i did pretty good. Right?

xmetalhedx Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 I went to the city today to hunt down some atari cratridges. I scoured the entire south side, going through the flea market and at least 15 thrift stores. The flea market was completely void of anything interesting except those pirate NES in a controller things for 40 bucks, but I declined. I scored a minor find at one thrift store, picking up sonic 2 and sonic 3d blast for genesis for 1.48, a gyromite(hoping to find a famicom converter inside) for 1.48 and an odd little nintendo book called My Very First Nintendo Gameboy: Super Mario's Adventures. The book looks like preschool age book with the thick cardboard kid proof pages and its shaped like a gameboy. Set into the front cover is a game(not electronic) where the gameboy buttons are replaced by rubber buttons that blow air and blow litle plastic balls inside around where you try to catch them in little pockets. The background of the game looks like mario 64 and the inside has graphics from mario 2 and mario world. Then at the very last thrift store i went to i walked in the door and saw the holy grail....two boxes full of Atari carts. Then i dug through and saw the prices...they were all marked 3.98 including combat, ET, video olympics. There were plenty of commons that i needed but i just couldn't see paying 3.98 for commons at at thrift store, so I left all but two of them there. I picked up mario bros and coconuts. hmm....why is my post so much longer than everybody elses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricDeLee Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 I got my first Heavy Sixer Joystick. (the kind I guess that has the disk on top... only mine is missing the disk ) $2.99 and a Super Controller for NES. You put a reular controller in it's case... and snap it in place. The next thing you have is a joystick looking thing for the directional pad. Strange... but cool looking. Fun to play with as well. $4 That's all... not a lot. But I will cash in on Atari Games... and possibly a slew of Sega Saturn games on the 3rd of April. I can get 100 Atari games and 40 Sega Saturn games for @ $100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpmxxipt Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 I haven't posted lately, but I thought since Steve W was doing such a good job, and since my name is also Steve, I thought I'd share my day.

Passed on two mint sealed Commie printers, one looked new in original sealed bag. I just don't do printers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeV0 Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Just go to flea markets, theres heaps here in qld. Try the carara?? markets down south. Bayers is ok, cept their store prices can be a bit rude.

Hydian Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Handfull of 2600 carts today (mostly ones that I didn't already have) for about .40 each: Donkey Kong Jr Millipede Stargate Winter Games Dig Dug Phoenix Spider Fighter Midnight Magic Enduro Gleaming the Rubik's Cube I couldn't find a real world value on the last one, just a DP value. Still seems like a good day for once (even if I don't really collect 2600 intentionally.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveW Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Bought a Sega Saturn with two controllers and Center Ring Boxing, Quarterback Attack, Nascar 98, Virtua Cop, Virtua Fighter 2, Daytona USA, Nights Into Dreams Sampler, and Saturn Bootleg Sampler for $35. Bought Gauntlet Legends and Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness for N64, $2.50 each. Super Thunder Blade for Sega Genesis, $3.93. And I didn't realise it until after I was on my way out the door, but the thrift store lady overcharged me for some Intellivision games. Boxing, Bomb Squad, NBA Basketball, Las Vegas Poker and Blackjack, and Triple Action, overcharged at $2.92 each. I'm really quiet and shy, and I didn't want to make a stink about it. Oh well. I passed up a mangy looking boxed Commodore VIC-20 for $7.99, it looked like it had been used as an ashtray all these years. It had a power supply, some other cables, and a couple of cassettes (Neither were Ultima, I checked) but i've never been interested in the VIC-20 anyway. I hope it goes to somebody who'll really enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
