+GoldenWheels Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 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.

JamesL Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Found 3 Atari 2600 rarity 4 games in a used game/sound system store. Radar Lock and Smurf Rescue in Gargamel's Castle $1.00 each, and Double Dunk for $5.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRV Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariBrian Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 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 .

JamesL Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 You did good on smurf and radar lock. You did however overpay on double dunk Yeah I know. But I figured they balanced each other out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+FujiSkunk Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Eh, $5 for Double Dunk isn't all that horrible, especially if you're buying for your own collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari181 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Eh, $5 for Double Dunk isn't all that horrible, especially if you're buying for your own collection. For anyone willing to pay $5 for double dunk , please send me a PM. It normally is a $2 game and can be found CIB for $5 fairly often.

AtariLeaf Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 For anyone willing to pay $5 for double dunk , please send me a PM. It normally is a $2 game and can be found CIB for $5 fairly often. Found where? If it's online, shipping should be considered too. $5 for any non-dirt-common atari game is still a good deal in this day and age IMO.

+FujiSkunk Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 This haul is rated "E" for "Excellent!" The AGS-101 Game Boy Advance SP had a dead battery, but with that swapped it works quite nicely. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seob Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 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.

Rockin' Kat Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 So I'm cleaning up around the house and getting ready to do some major changes to my space when I pulled this out from under the bed. I got it several months ago and I'm certain I didn't post about it then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagnaFarce Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Man, I found a lot of stuff at the flea market and Savers over the past two days. $5 Dreamcast, $1 GC power supply, $1 Lode Runner, $0.50 Crash Nitro Kart. Got the TV Scoreboard complete with AC adapter and gun for $9.99 at Savers.Got Robotron: 2084 and the Sears Video Arcade II controller together for $5. The Game Boy Advance SP was $20. It's the AGS-101 backlit model. A few 8-bit Atari games, a red Nunchuck controller, and a Ms. Pac-Man plug and play for $12. (Also got an outlet strip, but it's not pictured.) SNES AV cable, NES controller, and an RCA television remote which can be modified to work with certain wireless CED players. All for $5.

orangest Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLeaf Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Tempest 2000 (Win 95) CIB was $3.99 at a local thrift and my Classic Kong came in the mail today from Piko Interactive. Awesome port. Plays great on real hardware. Highly recommended for Donkey Kong fans. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+FujiSkunk Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Great shtuff today. 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! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Ghost Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
