Fushek Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Last weekend was my lucky weekend. PS1 (no cords) and several games including Black Label Crash Bandicoot, Final Fantasy IX, Bubsy 3D and Myst for $10. Couple other sports titles not pictured ... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icemanxp300 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 A local collector I know listed majority of his collection on craigslist today for $2000 (nothing rare he sold those already). I contacted him and offered $1300, we agreed on $1400. I'll be keeping many for myself and selling the rest. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+wongojack Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Wow, I've never been able to pull the trigger on a deal that expensive. The money isn't (always) the problem either. It is the combination of the expense and the implied work required to get in there and test everything and make at least a new mental catalog of what I've got. I did stumble across a big Atari/Intv lot at one time that was a steal at like $100. That was 2 years ago, and I'm still kind of recovering from doing the inventory on that and figuring out exactly what I want to keep. It was probably about the same number of games, but I usually stay away from lots priced in the thousands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I generally grab a bottle of alcohol a box of q-tips and a small container to pour the alcohol in. I then sit down grab about 6 carts at a time and swab all the connectors in an assembly line and just speed through them all. I then pop in the system and soon as I see logo screen for a few seconds, it's on to the next one. On more valuable games I will test a bit more in depth, checking saves and such but for commons a quick test is all they get. This is one of my biggest buys actually. I normally don't spend more than $500 on lots, but the $$ is there and I figure I can flip majority real quick in huge lots for my money back and keep a bunch for myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dashv Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Snapped up an N64 console (with power cord, but nothing else) for $10 at Savers yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grig Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Found what I believe to be a modded XBOX at Savers today for $25. I will plug it in and try it out and post some pics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+FujiSkunk Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 If it's a software mod, be careful you don't let any games install updates for network play or some-such. I managed to break a modded XBox that way. Over the past couple of weeks I've been adding to the vinyl collection. Here are the latest '80s and almost-'80s goodies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grig Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Well the xbox works great. The DVD drive works too. It has about 71 installed games. It did not come with any controllers but I already had a few spare lying around. It did come with the power cord and the A/V cable. Not sure why someone would give this up! The switches all work. The xbox will only run in modded mode but that's fine because it can still read traditional game discs. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omegadot Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 The only Xboxes I ever see come in are very rough. Nice find. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnapCraft Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Commie-dore 128 with 1541 disk drive. $20. Xbox 360 with 20 gb HD. $10. I'll pick up 360's all day $10 and under. That's how it's been. Video games are scarce, leaving classic computers for the taking. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnapCraft Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Ohh, yeah, side note: The Xbox 360 was parent blocked. Ever try to hack one of those? Extremely frustrating--took me 3 hours! Unfortunately it's not as easy as resetting the "BIOS" by removing a CR2032-type battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grig Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I am now officially jealous, Grig. LOL!!! I will probably unload it soon but I started playing Burnout 3 and it is addicting. I have to find out how to put more games on the HD as i have a few xbox games laying around that are not on the HD. It also has a spot for "emulators" so maybe I can load some emu's onto it before unloading it. I don't know, it's tempting to keep ...

I have over 200 burned games in mine and all the console emulators on a 500 gig executer 3 chip. Modded xboxes rock!

He didn't have it out so I asked about the power brick (very important). After a while he found it in his truck! That thing is worth about $50 alone. That "thing" also gives the Colecovision's power supply a run for it's money! I love how the Apple //c, Commodore 128, etc all showcased their slick computers. Then, as you're about to leave ... here you'll need this mother brick too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRV Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Found an Atari Flashback 4 for $2 at a garage sale Saturday - the unit, video cable, AC adapter, and one wireless joystick with no battery cover. I'm disappointed in the sound quality overall (and some games sound choppier than others), but I guess I can get rid of that Flashback 2 I've got sitting somewhere.

CRV Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) No no no no no... I'm pretty sure the FB2 is considered the best of the bunch! But the FB4 has Front Line and Polaris. Yeah, maybe I'll just get rid of the FB4. Edited August 4, 2015 by CRV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
