Rik Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I found 2 of these " VID-RAK " at Value Village. Each holds 24 games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangest Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Some cool import finds at a neighborhood thrift for $2 each: Rockman Irregular Hunter X, Me and My Katamari and Piposaru Academia 2. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asaki Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 The retro store I deal with gives 10-12 dollars in trade credit or cash for guitar hero and rock band guitars. That doesn't seem right at all...are they actually making money on them somehow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manoau2002 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 That doesn't seem right at all...are they actually making money on them somehow? I think they sell them for 25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+FujiSkunk Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 $25 for a GH or RB guitar is optimistic, but not entirely unreasonable, if they're tested, refurbished and given a store warranty. There's still plenty of fans of both game series, and hardware is getting hard to come by. I test game guitars as they come in to the thrift store I volunteer at, and I put a $5 tag on the guitars that test all right. Except for PS2 guitars, they sell pretty quickly, and even the PS2 guitars usually move after a few weeks tops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asaki Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Weird, I almost always see one or more controllers/games when I'm thrifting, seems like nobody wants them anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+FujiSkunk Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 The problem is whether or not they work. There are a lot of parts that can go wrong, and there's not a lot of parts those controllers can live without. I make sure to note "TESTED + WORKS" on the controllers I deem worthy of sale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRV Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Sale: Bart vs. the Space Mutants handheld game for 50 cents. Works, no battery cover. First time I've seen an Acclaim handheld in the wild. Also made the Boneheaded Move of the Day: Passed on a Game Gear Sports System (blue instead of black) in the box for $20. Didn't have the right charger. I've got enough Game Gears, or so I thought. Then I see one went on eBay for $140 (with the right charger). Sale: Box of stuff for $4. Atari VCS with no AC adaptor, games, a few manuals that don't go with the games, and a dirty Video Touch Pad with dirty Star Raiders overlay. Most of the games are actually for ColecoVision, which I don't have, but I thought I should pick it up anyway. Haven't cleaned or tested anything. Games: Frogger, Combat, Adventure (VCS), Nova Blast, Subroc, Venture, WarGames (w/ one overlay), Time Pilot (CV) Sale: Two PSP games - Wipeout Pure (no manual) $2, Sonic Rivals 2 (disc only) $1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uzumaki Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 (edited) Today was a good day for me. I never believed in Friday the 13th curse like some do and it paid off. Sears RGB monitor 195-21353452 has RF, composite, and RGB input. RGB input has old style 8 pins VTR connector and the cable that came with it has standard 9 pin D connector that was widely used in RGB consoles. Super Graphix JrSuper Graphix Gold (no PSU) 1541-II drive (no PSU) Adventure Creator (case and manual, no game) Ms. Pac Man (complete, flattened box) Partnet 128 (complete plus extra disks) Story Machine (case and manual, no game) Facemaker (complete) Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Curse of the Azure Bonds (complete? Crushed box but imacculate contents) Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Secret of the Silver Blades (complete? immaculate contents) Indiana Jones Temple of Doom (complete?) and these pile of disks: Motor Mania mecc exoedutions One on One $100,000 Pyramid Frogger / Threshold Loadstar (not sure which one, has both sides) Chuck Yeager's Advanced Flight Trainer Movie Creator Murder by the Dozen UFO / Galaxibirds 4 carts: Moon Patrol, Robotron 2084, Radar Rat Race, and Linking Logic and a couple disks full of games, probably pirated The 1541-II was $1.49 by itself and worth it for spare parts even if it doesn't work. The rest of the games were bundled with the monitor, I suspect it should have been included with the 128D I got a while ago. Now to find a power supply to test that 1541-II.

Falconhood Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Computer games are easy to find, unlike cartridge games, at my Goodwill...and for 49 cents each, why not? #computergame #quake by SacredKnightOfTomorrow, on Flickr #hexen #computergame by SacredKnightOfTomorrow, on Flickr 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+FujiSkunk Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Some nice finds yesterday. More good '80s vinyl, including a couple of 12" singles for the dance remix collection. Some choice N64 bits. Yeah, I don't know. I thought it might be fun to dance along to the "Kim Possible" songs. Don't judge me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRV Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I passed on a couple Bambino handheld games, Boxing and Football. They were asking $5 each, but they weren't willing to go lower on the price, even if it was almost closing time. I was more interested in the boxing game. Supposedly it worked, but there was brown stuff on the bottom and in the battery compartment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The standard exchange in these cases between myself and friends over the years has been: "It's not what you are thinking, some kid was here earlier eating a fudgsicle and some of it got on the __insert item name__." This works well when you are on the fence about buying or leaving it !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Scored from the Pendergrass indoor flea market in NE Georgia. They only had one or two game shops, but the Asian guy I scored these from was real nice after I chatted him up a little. Nearly all his games had nice labels. In fact seven of these were replacements for games with inferior labels. He wasn't very realistic about the complete system prices like a jr. with a dozen games for $100, but these were only $3 each. He also had a 4 switch woody with box & a boxed 5200. Holy crap! did he have a butt load of Nintendo stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rik Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I found these 2 stiks today. Both work great. A SLIK STIK , and a TAC-2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodLightning Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I found this 800XL and 1050 floppy a few weeks ago. No power supplies but a a/v and sio cable were attached. The 800XL worked fine and I got the 1050 going again after tinkering with the tandon mech a bit...cleaning/lubrication/adjustments. By the look of them, they had both been stored in a dry dusty place for a long time. The 800XL was always my favorite model...spent $9.98 usd total for both. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orangest Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 If anyone's looking for some shrinkwrapped PS2 and GameCube PAL and Japanese Chicken Little and Narnia games, with a little POTC thrown in, the Redondo Beach Goodwill has you covered. Their international flavor does not limit itself to modern gaming either... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
