There really hasn't been anything at ours for quite some time… not even old sports titles. Slim selection of DVDs and video tapes where the games used to be. Glass case is full of gaudy jewelry. Clothes, broken dishes, toys, and knock offs of George Foremen grills round out the rest of the selection

 

I guess everything could be going to one of their computer works stores… or all of the good stuff goes on auction now and maybe they pitch the rest. Who knows….

 

Same here....I got an Xbox light gun for three bucks. That is my best (only really) find of the last three years checking goodwill. Sad.

Local store (Tuesday):

$1 Double Dunk (2600, loose)

$2.99 Skeleton Warriors (PS1, disc only)

 

I'm debating whether to bring back Skeleton Warriors. Some of the music and videos are skipping. Most of the disc is fine, but the center is a bit scratched up.

Get it resurfaced and it (should) be fine unless there are deep gouges . I remember when my friend had Skeleton Warriors , it looks great and was a good game other than I think it was pretty difficult ... its a keeper .

Went to a second hand shop today and found a daimond stealth 3d videocard and a 12mb voodoo 2 card with the passtrough cable. Total 4 euro.

Funny thing is I was talking to a friend yesterday about the voodoo2. I had sold mine years ago and i said i wanted to buy one again.

I also picked up a couple other things, but I figure this is enough for one post.

A few games came into a local Salvation Army...

All of the shelves went three rows deep, but unfortunately there were no hidden treasures. A bunch of common games and a lot of repeats of titles, as if they were from a distributor, though only a couple of items were new. I did find a 2CD Beatmania IIDX 6th Style soundtrack for $1.99 though.

Donated to the thrift I volunteer at. All four games came with their manuals. I'll have the games up for sale here, and I'll flip the hardware too if it works as well as it looks.

The original EP with "Goodbye to You."

It's not pristine, but it looks and plays pretty darn well for its age. And it's mine!

I'm in SW Florida for a few days and so I went to this huge Fleamarket in Fort Meyers....Fleamasters FleaMarket. I was SO hopefully that I'd see a bunch of gaming goodness. Nope....basically didn't come across a darn thing. I was really disappointed. I listen to So. Cal Mike on Retro Gaming Roundup (and others) talk about all the stuff they find at Fleamarkets. I guess I simply went to the wrong one, though it is supposedly the biggest one in the area (?).

I guess if you have to get rid of a Mario/Duck Hunt and a Wheel of Fortune, bundling it with Bubble Bobble is a way to do it.
