orangest Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Ultimate 8 Ball was $4.99. Brand new Tomb Raider-The Last Revelation was $2.99. Whatever you say, Goodwill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangest Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Fine, I'll just go twice in a row then. Today's findings... Today's findings: Sealed 3DS Super Monkey Ball ($3) and DC House of the Dead 2, Soul Calibur & Tokyo Extreme Racer ($1 each) were at a random thrift near my work. GC Mario Party 7 (missing manual, $4.99), Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack ($4.99) and Xbox 360 Banjo Kazooie Nuts & Bolts Demo Disc ($3.99) were at a random thrift near my gf's house. PS1 Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee was $3.99 at a Salvation Army. Sealed PC Final Fantasy XI Ultimate Collection ($4.99) and American McGee's Alice ($4.99) were at a different Salvation Army, in fact the same one where I found this sealed Alice. This one is opened at the bottom, which I guess explains why it's a dollar more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STICH666 Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Not too bad today. Headed out to a garage sale advertised as having a whole lot of old games. Well there were a hell of a lot and they were very fairly priced so I didn't pick up much at all but what I did get were the following. $40 $35 $10 Just using it to display Winamp when playing games. Stuff I passed up included a loose 32x, complete Model 1 Saturn, 5 fat PS2s, 2 Dreamcasts, 3 NESs and a couple transparent N64's. Here's the ad if you guys want to see what else he had. http://bazaar-app.appspot.com/c?ct=ztfGm5TnlT2gJo%2BOELLpIQ==&c=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybercylon Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I never see stuff like this in thrifts around here. All I ever see is old sports games. Fine, I'll just go twice in a row then.

AtariLeaf Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I picked up a Mario Party 7 for the Gamecube for $1 and one of these for $5: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prSJc2jNiyA Its pretty cool for an old handheld. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Tomlin Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Found a Heathkit ET-3400 Trainer, it's a 6800-based single board computer thingy. Unfortunately it was a little grungy and very old and did not work as-is. I tried reseating chips, and some of them (all of one type of TTL chip in particular) had pins break off as I pulled them from the sockets. So it's going to be a bit of work to fix it. At least the manuals are scanned to PDF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shephda Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 A hot and steamy weekend so the fleas were not good. Lot's of decent systems to be had if you are new to collecting, but nothing really new. Did find Bart Vs. The World for the NES for $2, and for $3 I found an IR receiver for the PS2. Now my DVD remote will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same for me, can't wait for it to cool down so more people will show up at the local flea market here. Did manage to find Dragon Warrior III for $5, so it wasn't too bad this weekend.

+FujiSkunk Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Chu Chu Rocket for the Dreamcast, $2.50. Not much, but it was something after a pretty dry run. One of the local Goodwills also has some Atari 2600 cartridges in. Overpriced Centipede and Maze Craze, among others, but at least none of them are Combat.

Shephda Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Hit a local thrift at lunch and found a CIB Castle Of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse for the genesis, $2.24 Also a bag of 4 NES titles for $2.99 (Tetris, Fester's Quest, SMB\DH, and SMB\DH\T&F), and Top Gear Rally for the N64 for $1.49. Kinda makes up for a lousy weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangest Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Goodwill today: Twisted Metal III, Nightmare Creatures II and Loaded were $2.99. FFVII was $4.99. All complete and in good shape. The pink (and bedazzled) DS Lite and all of the games were $19.99 total. Pretty hot just for the unit and the Mario games alone. Not as hot as the pink, but almost.

NightSprinter Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Picked up an untested 1050 drive at a new hole-in-the-wall thrift store near Colonial Drive and Semoran Blvd for $6. Works perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariLeaf Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) These were from local pawn shops. $10 for everything. Was looking for RR64 so I was glad I found that one. I was thinking the Yoshi Safari was a different game, not one of those super scope games. Need to pay better attention. Doh!
