$60.00 for everything

 

Hell yeah!

Thats what I said :grin:

 

I had no problem at all, in fact I couldnt get the money out of my wallet fast enough

 

That was a STINKIN' good deal! I once got a complete Commodore 128 system w/2 1571 drives, and a 1702 monitor for free. However, I ended up selling it all off when I moved back a few years ago. How I miss it.

 

Again, great score!

Found a Neo Geo MVS arcade cabinet sitting on the side of the road by my aunt's house but it was completely gutted except for this!! The white around the graphical overlay is just condensation from being taken from 20 degrees to 80+ in a couple of seconds.

On further inspection, it looks like it was taken from an MVS and then re-fitted to work on a MAME cabinet.

So I got the kids a new 360 for their room for xmas. Rather than buy a bunch of controllers and stuff I ran across this deal to kick start their 360 experience.

I fixed another RROD today. This one is next on my list. Ran out of screws.

My recent finds at the flea market is actually what got me interested in collecting old game systems instead of just watching reviews of them on Youtube.

 

Flea Market:

Atari Video Pinball C-380 (2nd white edition) for $10

Panasonic 3DO REAL Interactive Multiplayer for $5

Shopgoodwill.com:

Atari VCS six-switch with two joysticks, one paddle, two 'driving' paddles, and twelve boxed games for $45 shipped.

 

Going to hit up the thrift stores again later today!

Picked up some 2600 games at a pawn shop for a dollar a piece today(I bought a lot so he brought the price down from $3 a piece):

Journey Escape

Turmoil

Fantastic Voyage

Worm War 1

Star Wars Jedi Arena

Airlock

Starmaster

Sneak'N Peek

Wizard of Wor

I was going to get Gorf, but the employee took it out of the case and gave me a lesson on how Gorf is rare and said i probably don't know what it is and how kids today don't know anything about old video games.(which is a weird thing to say when a 14 year old is buying atari games from you)

Picked up an original SNES with two controllers and all the cables from the only Goodwill within driving distance that doesn't suck for twenty dollars and got a poorly boxed UK Tomb Raider for the Game Boy Colour with the documentation for a dollar from a small thrift. Good day.

...and I thought everything was dried up around me / terrible season - today proved me wrong:

$4.20 for:

 

PC Iz and Auggie: Escape from Dimension Q

PC Rayman Forever

PC Glover

PC Backyard Baseball 2001

PC Sonic CD

PC Sonic and Knuckles Collection

PC Sonic R (two copies, one Sega PC Collection, one basic release)

PC Project Studio: Pokemon Blue Version

 

I'm not huge into PC collecting, but these are exactly my era (played a few of these at friends houses/grandparent's house back in the day) and who doesn't love Sonic?
