Mindfield Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 Nice price on Dark Chambers. A bit excessive on Spider-man. :-) Not bad overall though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whisper Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 I could be at a huge flea market today, but I have to write my internship report on which I'm running terribly late. *cries* Who knows what I could have picked up. A girl I know said there are always some cool retro gaming things for cheap, she had never left the flea market (which is only once a year) with empty hands. I want to go too!

ninjarabbit Posted May 30, 2004 Author Share Posted May 30, 2004 I know I overpaid a bit on Spider-Man, but it's one of those games I always wanted as a little rabbit but never got especially since I'm a Spider-Man freak, but now I do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricDeLee Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 I went to a flea market this weekend and a guy had a box of stuff for $10... I decided not to get it as he would not allow you to look through it (and he was kind of a jerk). Then I asked if he had any Atarti stuff. He said he has about 6 or 7 systems... starting at $89 each. I was laughing as I walked away. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjarabbit Posted May 30, 2004 Author Share Posted May 30, 2004 I love and hate flea markets, it's like hunting for treasure but nowadays everyone seems to know exactly what everything is 'worth', thanks to that stupid internet, thank you Al Gore for inventing the interent. I do most of my shopping at two stores in my area. One is a used record store that has a decent selection of 2600 games. The other is an independent game shop that specializes in older systems. It's where I go my 7800 that I use now, it beats Ebay and shipping costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susuwatari Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 Here's a tip for eBay sellers: when Spiderman 2 hits the big screen, list the SPiderman cart. It's sure to sell for around $10 or more. $_$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 How come no one uses the Thrift Finds thread anymore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shining slade Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 How come no one uses the Thrift Finds thread anymore? Maybe if the Thrift Finds thread was made sticky then people would use it more often. With all of the views and posts it's had it should be a sticky topic IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcidTone Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 The thing that sucks for me is there is one flea market near me, I go every weekend but there is never much there. When i do find some game they are usually over priced and the sellers never want to go lower. As for stores where i live there are not any thrift stores or any that have any game so i am pretty much stuck with going to the flea market.

AtariLeaf Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Yes, make it sticky and rename it to just plain "wild finds" or something because I think some who find things in flea markets or yard sales might think that doesn't qualify so they start a different thread.

ninjarabbit Posted May 31, 2004 Author Share Posted May 31, 2004 I've been wanting to do some garage sale hunting, but the bad weather here (Cleveland) lately has put a damper on most of my plans The one weekend I did manage to go garage sale hunting, all I found was SNES , N64 , and PS1 stuff. It seems the Atari market has dried up here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
