jferio Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Five pickups today. $3 for the NES Klax with sleeve. It was listed at $6, but it was half price for the color tag. $2 for Omega Race. $2 for Porky's. $2 for Jungle Hunt. $2 for Entombed. Now I need to decide which four 2600 carts now get to leave with my 1 in 1 out policy for that system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_Bill Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Shockingly enough, there are still some garage sale items to find. Picked up the ADAM a few weekends ago for $10! Didn't really need a second one, but for $10... Picked up all the boxed games AND a boxed Sears 6 switch unit for $10 as well. I kept the games, but gave the unit to my nephew since he needed it.

Atari_Bill Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 More garage sale booty found by a neighbor for me. Nothing too rare (best item was a 7800 Planet Smashers), but a lot of manuals to add to the collection. Only $5 for everything! Now I gotta clean off the layer of barn dust!

Nothing too rare (best item was a 7800 Planet Smashers), but a lot of manuals to add to the collection. Only $5 for everything! Now I gotta clean off the layer of barn dust! We had a set of those wireless sticks back in the day, man were they awful! Great score though! Xenophobe is a tough one to find too. I still need it after years of collecting.

Atari_Bill Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Recent flea market pickups as well as my picks from CORGS show in Columbus a few weeks back (Pac Man Fever!).... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_Bill Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 And finally to catch up with the rest of my recent purchases, a couple ebay scores. I was happy to pick these up for .99! I also picked up the early model Atari variety too (but can't find the pic I took now). Now if I could only find the hex disk joysticks...

Guest Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Might not mean a lot to anyone else, but I got a free Apple LaserWriter Select 360 and went to the thrift store a couple days later and happened to find 3 boxes of toner for the exact model for only $7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STICH666 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Some nice finds today. First around the corner from me was that lot for $5. Then a couple miles away for $20 (I think I overpaid) Around the corner from that were these two for $1 And finally why you should always ask if they have games. .......$10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orangest Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 At one of the last remaining Wherehouse stores that hasn't become a FYE... Electroplankton is sealed and was $29.99. More than I usually like to pay for a game, but understanding that's still a fair price overall. Puyo Pop Fever was $7.99. Garage sale find today for $1. Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri was included in the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wickeycolumbus Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I went to a rummage sale yesterday and everything was free! I ended up getting this beauty as well as a nice CRT computer monitor, some speakers, and a bunch of cassette tapes and record albums.

DickNixonArisen Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I disagree. I don't like pokemon OR the N64 very much, but I feel they combine rather nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a photo some where at my mothers house. Will have to dig it up. AX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Dart Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 $10 on craigslist. Does anybody have a matching controller? Crap forgot the picture. I've got one of those, too. No controller, though. It's the perfect dopey-ass N64 for playing dopey-ass N64 games, hands-down. Looks funny with Doom 64 sticking out of it while Pikachu's cheek glows.
