SEgamer Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Got about 15 other that are dupes, they go to my son. He scored a CIB SNES Knights of the Round, and Time Killers, each for $1. Great weekend for NES finds. Wow, I'd love to find a copy of Knights of the Round around here, great finds! Today I managed to get a mini-SNES (console only), regular SNES (with controller and cables), and a Genesis and 32x (both consoles only) for $20 total. Yesterday I got a Genesis 3 and a PS1 screen for $15 each. It seems that a lot of items for portable projects keep finding their way to the flea market right now. Looks like I have about 2 or 3 more projects to add to the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uzumaki Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Not video game related but rather computer related. When I saw this, I nearly crapped my pant. A nearly $300 CPU for only $10. See pictures (blurry cuz I used no name cell phone's camera ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uzumaki Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Alas when I checked it, it was just the heat sink. The CPU itself was gone, probably someone used it with an after market cooler instead of stock Intel cooler. The box was complete with manual and all.

I was going to ask if the CPU was actually in there. Its like shoes. I buy new running shoes I throw the old ones in the new box and toss them. I've seen many computer parts like motherboards in thrift stores that are generations old in current generation boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+thegoldenband Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) At a yard sale this weekend, my girlfriend picked up the following loose carts for $12: SNES - Super Mario World N64 - Diddy Kong Racing, LOZ: Ocarina of Time, Top Gear Rally Genesis - Mutant League Football + an unlabeled cart Game Gear - Super Columns She negotiated down to $2 apiece for the games and got the cart with no label for free. We joked that it was probably going to be Sonic 2 or a sports game, but it turned out to be Jurassic Park: The Lost World, which is fairly uncommon and seems like a pretty fancy game to boot!

DickNixonArisen Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I've never seen an unlabeled GEN game. It's not like parker bros, those things don't fall off. Someone really had to go at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+FujiSkunk Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) Found CiB's of Ms. Pac-Man and Primal Rage for the Genesis, plus a PS1 GameShark. Not spectacular finds, but they came at a spectacular price: fifty cents for everything. There is a definite advantage to getting cozy with the thrift store lady (and having your roommate fix her computer). No, I don't mean literally cozy. Sorry for the visual.

Well she's a thrift store girl Yeah she's a beautiful loser She'll switch price tags for me Sometimes meet me for coffee And I don't think she does that For anyone but me She dresses me for absolutely nothing Just 'cause she really likes me I'm here for her to serve She asks for nothing in return 'Cause she's a thrift store babe She's like my live in maid She's just a girl but still She's really not afraid To call in sick so we can hang out in Wicker Park And rot amongst the cynical prototypes of our love And I sincerely hope that she's always around I hope she always stays around - screeching weasel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orangest Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 A "Thank you!" to the Jewish Women today. The Avalon Hill March Madness and the Intellivision Greatest Hits/Atari Revival 2-pack are both sealed and cost $5 each. The Simpsons and The X-Files Episodic Radio Years CDs are collections of all of the radio promos for those two shows, published by 20th Century Fox. They are all sealed (I opened the Simpsons Years 1-8 CD in order to hear exactly what was on it) and cost $2 each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariLeaf Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I hit a street sale today which was several blocks long. Lots of Xbox, 360, PS2, PS3 and Wii games and hardware but not much from earlier generations. I did manage to pick up 36 loose and common 2600 and Intellivision games from one older fellow for $3 total. The rarest title was probably Porky's.

A_Locomotive Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 (edited) $3.00 - Old Coca-Cola Belt Buckle Whats it look like? Can you post a photo? This is my haul from the swap meet today. Went looking for an 8-track to test out my newly acquired player, and ended up with 15, one of which is a blank 80min tape still sealed(shame my player can't record. I'd love to put modern music on it). paid only $5 for the lot of them. Also picked up Thief and Syberia for the xbox for only $2.50 each, both of which I've wanted to play. Also at the swap meet I saw a Sears Video Arcade II seemingly complete in its box with several games. Guy wanted $40 which was more then I had on me and I didn't know anything about it. :/ Anyone know anything about the console? It looked like an Atari 2600 JR.

Crap, I've been looking for a boxed Sears VAII. They actually look more like a 7800. They are just another 2600 clone, but really cool with lights by the switches.
