Heavy Sixer Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 Quite a find at the flea market today... Coleco tabletop Pac-Man and Galaxian for $1 each! They're missing the battery covers, and Pac-Man is missing the top label, but they are otherwise in decent shape, and they work perfectly. I also found Mega Man 7 and X2 for $15 each, along with a NES Gyromite cart with a Famicom adapter inside. (I thought it felt kind of heavy, and sure enough...)

Malc74 Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 Picked up a Coleco Gemini with DK Jr, minus power supply for $4.99 at the local Value Village. Passed up on a couple of Genesis machines for $9.99 each. Both of them looked complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpmxxipt Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 Made the rounds today and found a nice pachinko machine at Goodwill for $20.00. It works great and even had a big bag full of balls. Cool! If that were at any of the local Goodwills around here, though, the price would have been $200.00 not $20. Yours must have forgotten where to place the decimal point.

rpmxxipt Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 Bad week this week - cut my rounds off short. Passed on some loose CV & SMS common carts @ $2.99 ea at the southwest Goodwill - overpriced in my opinion. Found a nice old HP calc with a power suppy at a Salvation Army though. It powers up, but it's a little flakey. Near mint condition though. Nice deal for $1.39! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one good thing about living in Mississippi, pretty much everything is cheaper than other parts of the country. I buy various games systems all the time in the $1-$15.00 range. I have bought full size arcade machines by the warehouse full for $10-$30 per machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Historian Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 As a collector one keeps a look out for items that may not be valuable to you, but might be of interest to others. That said here is my $5 find Loose 5200 Beamrider Rarity 5 Loose 5200 Montezuma's Revenge Rarity 4 Now if I only had a machine to test them on..

Raijin Z Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 Jesus christ, I need to get out of Ohio. The last half-decent -anything- I got at a thrift store was Alien Syndrome (only good because the cart was in flawless condition) for NES.... and that was last September.

ussexplorer Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 Well, think of the guy on that comercial for jack in the box jumping up and down for .99 cents. I know this is not anything special but I found an Atari 7800 galaga for $.50 cents. (Much better than 3.00 for a loose common cart) They also had a pole position II but I already had that. So now my 7800 game collection is up to three. They also had a Tac II joystick. But they wanted 5.00 for it and the cable was a little hashed.
