The Play-N-Trade near me has tons of CIB NES games but that's not really "in the wild" as that's what they specialize in. Every time I find an NES game though, it always has a sleeve and the manual.

Not really. I live in some dinky town of about 25,000, the last time I saw anything NES related was in months, and for atari stuff its been years. My family happens to travel a lot, and they are okay with stopping by Pawn shops and flea markets along the way. I do consider myself lucky.

Bruce Tomlin Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Sunday at a thrift store I found two junk Genesis carts priced at $4, but the last day of that color being half price. That made them a buck each, so I bought them for their shells. Gotta get cracking on my coding already... And just now I found: * NES Metroid w/box $1.50 (I didn't have the box) * NES Last Action Hero w/Box $1.50 (I didn't have the box or cart) * NES Yoshi $1.50 (already had it, oh well) * A "pirate" tape of random Star Wars stuff like Troops, Hardware Wars, etc. * Princess Bride 20th Anniversary edition widescreen, still shrinkwrapped, $1.50 (I think) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gulag picture radio Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Wow great NES scores. Just a word of advice. 99% of the time you find NES games in the wild, they are loose. I have only found 1 CIB and it was all torn up. Once I did happen across a giant lot of boxed NES games, they were gorgeous too. Almost like new. I picked up 30-40 games that day complete. Keep meaning to get them up on the auction block one of these days since boxed anything in NES seems a bit rare. Be sad to see 'em go - they look cool on the shelf.

kevincal Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Went to 3 Goodwills yesterday and made some vids of what I got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDW Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Not much today. I got: WW2 surplus jacket: $2 Godzilla vs Mothra $3.50 N64 memory enhancer thing (its red dammit, and I dont know what to call it): $3 I got the "N64 memory enhancer thing" merely a day after trading about $5 of games to my brother for it. To say the least, I'm pissed off. But then again, being pissed off is better than being pissed on. One of my favorite pawnshops did the idiotic today. They converted to ebay prices. Yep. I dont get to go there often, since its in another town. Once, NES games were all $3 each. Now, they are all indiviually marked, non as low as $6. One loose NES game was $60. Their justification was it was going for $70 on ebay. They must have hunted long and hard to find an aution like that. GB games were $15 each (nothing rare). Finally, the last travesty, $8 for Pacman on the 5200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smatchmo Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 (edited) Red thingy=expansion pak, though I prefer calling it "the red thingy" myself. Found today: 1 working Game Gear, no games for $8. I forgot how big & cumbersome the damn things are! I coulda sworn they weren't that big. Maybe I picked up an earlier model today or something. Or maybe I'm just slowly losing my mind. Also found 4 unopened TI 99 games but I didn't buy 'em because I don't know a thing about them.

INTD Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 I paid $40 for this package. It probably isn't the best deal ever but I'm happy with it. I wanted a second 400 and I didn't have Defender. I also thought that that the Invitation to Programming was pretty neat although I doubt if I'll risk popping it into that 410. The other cassette is a Hockey game from Gamma Software and the vinyl cover is in great shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cybercylon Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Went to 3 Goodwills yesterday and made some vids of what I got. All of that for $30 in the second video? Have you tested any of it yet? Most of the Goodwills around here, IF they have anything pretty much go by fleabay prices here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDW Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Red thingy=expansion pak, though I prefer calling it "the red thingy" myself. Thanks for correcting me. Ever since the age of 8 I've always called it the "red enhancer thing". An odd thing for an 8 year old to call it, but the name stuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the Goodwills around here, IF they have anything pretty much go by fleabay prices here. Yep all for $30. Only saw the PS2 tested with a scratched up DVD movie and it was showing "disc read error". Haven't had the time to test the systems but I'm guessing most of them work! We shall see. Even if none of them work, $30 is a steal imo. Honestly I think 99% of the people pricing stuff at Goodwill are clueless as to what games are going for on the internet. Seems like they are usually way underpriced or way overpriced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2600Lives Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Got myself my first Xonox double-ender, Chuck Norris and Atrillery Duel today at OVGE for the staggering price of 5 bucks! It's in great condition, too. Too cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frizo Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Ever since the age of 8 I've always called it the "red enhancer thing".

Yeah, I dont know either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poopopyo Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Yesterday I got a boxed Sega Saturn with no A/V Cable with World Series Baseball, a 6 button circular controller and a SuperPad 8 for $25. I'm still not absolutely completely sure that it works but I plugged it in and turned it on. The light turned on and the CD spun so I bought it.

RickHarrisMaine Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Nothing major, just a few PS2 games Star Wars Battlefront II (I have this on my XBox as well, but can't get the thing online to play---hopefully I can do this with the PS2 version) Ratchet and Clank Devil Kings all complete, all for $2.49 apiece.....

kevincal Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Update on my $30 haul of systems. The PS2 powers on and gives you the main menu screen, but insert a game or movie dvd and it doesn't load it. The Gamecube powers on and takes you to the main menu screen, but again like the PS2. game won't boot. BUT both N64's and the Super Nintendo work!

While this won't help a truly crapped-out drive, and it's a pain in the butt to take the unit apart (especially to avoid pulling out cables that you shouldn't), it may in fact fix it.

WilsonCat Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 My friend gave me his old PS2 (Fat) when it stopped reading discs and he bought a new one. I opened it up, tweaked the laser pots and it was fine. Give that a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
