donkeykong1 Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 Gyromite with Famicom adapter - $2.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ussexplorer Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 After months of not finding anything Atari. I found one Atari 2600 RF remote joystick. Looked almost new. This will go to replace one I have that is missing the battery cover and does not work properly. I did look all up and down for anything else in the thrift store but nothing. Perhaps some other guy picked up the rest. Brand new battery in it to for the most part. Later, ussexplorer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raijin Z Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 Castlevania Bloodlines, $4. Whee. There was an IBM PCjr there too, with a monitor, but when I saw the WEIRDASS connectors for the power and miscellanous devices, I knew I should just say fuck it.

egdinger Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 Hey raijin if the only thing keeping from the pcjr. is the monitor, the thrift here has one, pm me if intrested. Today I found a box 12 games genisis games, a genesis, and a powerbase adaptor (cool!). $20. I found ultima:exudus for $3.00, not the greatest deal, but it has a great label. The store also had about 50 other nes games, gonna have to go there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raijin Z Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 No, like I said, the monitor was there, but the connectors for other devices were completely alien to me. I'm not interested in playing scavenger hunt with stuff THAT unique. I already have a Tandy 1000 SX, a clone, which doesn't have batshit-insane connectors. I ill-need the original.

EVerytime I go to look at the finds, you have like 1 in 5 posts. Where do you live? I think I need to relocate myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveW Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 You just have to keep looking. I used to get really put off of thrifting after not finding anything worthwhile for months, but then you find that one thing that'll encourage you to hit the thrifts more often. I used to check a few stores maybe once a month, but now i'll do the rounds at least every week, and sometimes twice a week. And there's a few stores that tend to have more videogame related stuff than others, so I go there all the time. I've found almost nothing in a Salvation Army store I visit all the time, but right down the street is a Thrift Town that almost always has something good in it. You've got to pick and choose which stores to hit more often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donkeykong1 Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Where do I live? Check my location. Where do I find all this stuff? There are lots of thrift stores, not to mention a few swapmeets around my area. It's funny becauseI spent most of the summer not looking for stuff because I was low in cash. That's why there is a big gap between groups of my posts up until now. Now I'm getting back on track. I should be posting lots more stuff, hopefully, for a while. When I make it a planed trip to the thrift stores, I always get some stuff. Sometimes I just see a store and stop by. Sometimes I get lucky, sometimes I don't. That's a lot of yapping from me now.

kevin242 Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Am I lucky or what? I was searching for a Mac mouse for the IIgs I picked up last week and I found a complete Mac 6400/200 system with monitor and mouse keyboard... in almost mint condition and get this an extra mouse! It run ver 8 of the Apple OS and it is a pretty cool little (well actually big) computer. The price was right, FREE!!! here is a picture: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveW Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 I always liked the Performa 6400. The designer was a big audiophile, so it has a really good subwoofer built into it's bottom, and an SRS Surround Sound processor in it. Very nice find!

SteveW Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 I did a little thrifting while killing time before Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow started. I just bought some CDs at one store. I learned a lesson today. The next time I buy CDs in a thrift store, I have to check inside the case to see if the CDs match the cover. My Macross II Soundtrack turned out to have a Japanese import "Special CD-ROM" of Parasite Eve inside. It says 'not for sale' in English on it, so i'm guessing it's a magazine demo or something. A jewel case with the Playstation game Reloaded on the cover turned out to have the Mac version of Full Throttle in it. Luckily, I have a Mac. And the other CD was called Squeeze The Cheese, with a bunch of 80's songs on it. But instead, there was a copy of another 80's music CD, Living In Oblivion vol. 3. Also luckily, I don't have that one, and there were some good songs on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of getting Macs, a little while ago I picked up a PowerMac 9600/200 with 10/100T ethernet card for $15. It works fine... waiting on a monitor.. actually got one but had to return it cuz it was buggered up(scratched CRT and the image was ghosted ontop of itself) I need to stop reading this thread. Huh?

Raijin Z Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 I've said it a hundred damn times, and plenty of other people have too. "My local thrift stores suck, there's never anything good at them." It doesn't bear repeating or reminding. >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockin' Kat Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 If it makes you feel any better, my local Goodwill store applies packing tape liberally to all boxed games to make sure that manuals, disks, and cartridges aren't lost... It's very annoying... though I usually tend to be able to peel it off slowly withouth damage once in a while I tear the box or it pulls some of the ink off... and then there was that time where I grabbed some really old PC games and one C64 game, all boxed, asked them to slice the tape so I could check the contents... well.. all except for the C64 game had been opened and everything was there...well I got home and realized I missed opening the C64 one.. so I peeled the tape off and found out I paid $2 for an empty box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
