DestinedCruz Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Bought a boxed copy of Montezuma's Revenge for SMS in perfect condition of one of the staff at an anime convention in town this weekend, and I also got to meet The Protomen!

CRV Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 (edited) Bought a Dreamcast Arcade Stick for $3 at a glorified flea market Saturday. Dirty, beat up, there's rust on the bottom and on the stick, but it works. There was a Mad Catz Force Pack in it that doesn't seem to work. Also bought two PS1 games for $1 each: Crash Bandicoot and Tunnel B1. Edited April 16, 2013 by CRV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpendTooMuchOnAtari Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I found a few things at a used cd/dvd/game store including the 2600 game, Genesis Games and the two DVD's. The Second Sight Bonus DVD that was only if you pre-ordered was bought online, it's a hard one to get for Gamecube collector's. The other two paper looking things are Animal Crossing postcards that I also received online recently but I was disappointed that one has a bent corner and the condition was "New" as stated. Oh well, that's how it usually goes but I still got some good deals and the games were a cool thrift find. $2.99 - ATARI 2600: CIB Sorcerer's Apprentice (Fold-Out Manual/Poster is nice, Box has the wear to the top flap...don't you hate that! $2.99 - GENESIS: CASE AND CART ONLY Chuck Rock $2.99 - GENESIS: CASE AND CART ONLY Fantasia $0.99 - DVD: Mary Kay Biography Channel Show $0.99 - 2-DISC DVD: Pressure Cook Season One ? What? has anyone even heard of this one, they have had some crazy reality shows on who knows what TV channels $5.50 - (I got the game complete and in great shape for my personal collection for the 5.50 so this extra DVD was nearly free to me, the game in the condition it's in is worth 5 bucks to me) - BONUS DVD FOR PRE-ORDER OF Second Sight (All Access Documentary and Interviews with the creators of TimeSplitters and Second Sight) $5.50 - TWO POSTCARDS: Promotional Items for Animal Crossing Wild World (bought online, condition was not as stated but still worth it to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fushek Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Boxed Speak and Spell at the local Salvation Army for 1.99. Other than some minor battery corrosion, it works great. Nothing quite like trying to understand the word that it's asking you to spell! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cybercylon Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I can never seem to find anything nice at Thrift shops, Goodwil, salvation army, etc. Just depends where you are and hitting it at the right time. It also depends on your goodwill. Some send anything half decent right to the auction site. Ours just sells various George Foreman grills and table lamps these days. Always that odd solo speaker too.

the.golden.ax Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 My wife picked up a Bass Champion X Fishing Controller for original XBOX. I had no idea they made a fishing controller for original Xbox. Looking it up online I'm glad we snagged it because it's rather uncommon, even if it isn't sought after.

Fushek Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I can never seem to find anything nice at Thrift shops, Goodwil, salvation army, etc. It comes and goes ... I hadn't found anything at our local Salvation Army for quite some time ... then, all the sudden, I find a Speak & Spell, some Thomas wooden trains, bin of Star Wars legos and an old unused Zoids kit. Persistence seems to be the key for me. Video games are harder and harder to come by, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icemanxp300 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Can you say score?????? $20 I went to a craigslist add that listed atari and 60 games for $20 thats all I knew and it was like 45 minutes away.

the.golden.ax Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Ice that is SICK dude. I think that ranks as one of the best Thrift posts in value for cost. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fushek Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Can you say score?????? $20 Yep ... score. You've just lived out the fantasy of most people here on the forums (at least the ones that don't involve being marooned on a deserted isle with scantily clad women). Might be a good idea to play the lottery today . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shinju Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 And yet no mention of Crazy Climber in that lot, that is one of the few I have yet to see in the wild. I have seen several SQWW and CTCW but never a CC. Nice score! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen several SQWW and CTCW but never a CC. Nice score! OMG I love you! My atari knowledge is lacking and I have not really had a chance to look up all the games but look at the first lot of games right side halfway down under the swordquest games... Here is a closer look F____YA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cebus Capucinis Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Posting pics, got a good NES lot I think.....I don't know anything about NES so you guys will have to tell me how I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cebus Capucinis Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I was in the Savers across the street and looking at the boy's toys (as I find robot toys there pretty regularly) and I found a full peg of these boxed NES games. Some are CIB, some are missing parts, but they are in pretty good shape. I'm not going to post what I paid, because I don't collect NES and am definitely reselling them, but I figured I'd get more than I paid for each. The titles I got were: Kiwi Kraze (CIB I think) Dr. Mario (is missing sleeve, manual, and I think the foam piece in the bottom of box) Battletoads (is missing cover page and page 1 of manual but complete otherwise) Laser Invasion (is missing manual but complete otherwise) Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego? (CIB) Super Cars (missing everything but cart and box) Operation Secret Storm (CIB I believe) G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero (CIB I believe) I thought it was a pretty good score. I'm going to post a sales thread here in a minute, but I don't really know what any of them are worth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
