the.golden.ax Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Yeah, kudos on the drum machine. I scored one back in the 3rd or 4th quarter last year and still have not hooked it up yet. Bought a table for my music stuff recently. You have to love any Nuon stuff in the wild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asaki Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Thought I was out of luck at the thrift shop (as usual) when I noticed a $6 game watch behind the counter. Sweet. My cousin had the Donkey Kong one. Nice score on the drum machine. I've been thinking it's about time I got one. I know what you mean =| I do have a friend who's getting pretty decent at the drums, though...we just need to get together and practice some time...

shadow460 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Picked up a 4 woody, er, I mean a 2600A with woodgrain, at a garage sale today for $25. It has half a dozen commons, a CX-40, a gemstick, and paddles. I thought that wasa bit high, but I said heck with it since I'd left home early and gone so far out of my way on the morning commute.

icemanxp300 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 (edited) I prefer pics as well. I don't have the attention span to watch a video. Furthermore 90% of this thread gets scrolled past until I see pics. I'm not a fan of reading so I fast skim at best. If it is anything much more than a few sentences I go to the next post lol.

Asaki Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Harry Chapin: Greatest Stories Live on CD. It's just the old 12 track edition, but for $1, who can complain? And Simpsons: Hit & Run for GC. And some books for the Miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gorfcadet Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Thought I was out of luck at the thrift shop (as usual) when I noticed a $6 game watch behind the counter. It was the Super Mario World one from 1990-91 with a headphone jack of all things. No case/manual, but also no obvious wear aside from some creases on the smallest setting of the strap. Battery was starting to green, but no damage inside. New battery is on order--hope she still works. not mine, naturally, but the same model: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zH-F65y-4wg I have a Star Fox watch with a headset jack.... what battery does yours use? I cant for the life of me find the right watch battery! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaperman Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I have a Star Fox watch with a headset jack.... what battery does yours use? I cant for the life of me find the right watch battery! It uses a '389.' This is what I ordered to replace it: http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?ff3=4&pub=5574883395&toolid=10001&campid=5336500554&customid=&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2F330889559307%3FssPageName%3DSTRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT%26_trksid%3Dp3984.m1439.l2649 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't hugely expensive, but they are quite fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the.golden.ax Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Along with Quest for the Rings? XD Yes, that really isn't that rare. Maybe $15ish in value eBay Auction -- Item Number: 130860747264 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybercylon Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) Yes, that really isn't that rare. Maybe $15ish in value eBay Auction -- Item Number: 130860747264 Finding it (Quest for the Rings) complete can be a challenge, but yes... $119 for an O2 with a box...waaaaay too much. Of course, the local retro stores will sell one bare for around $60-$70. Edited March 19, 2013 by cybercylon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DestinedCruz Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I was in there today trying to get them to sell me the Quest for the Rings for $20 (It is complete, though one of the oblong pieces was punched out of its card). They would only sell the system with those games as a full set, but they said they could 'take $20 off the set instead'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck D. Head Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Pokemon edition N64 plus matching Pokemon controller in great shape with good analog stick for $10. Has 4MB expansion pak installed too. Works but needed cleaning up Nice find! That setup is an easy $60 any day. Now you just need a Hey you Pikachu cart from the dollar bin and a microphone to complete the set. I think there is a yellow foam ball that belongs on the mic also.

Yes, missing the yellow ball, and also a mounting bracket that mounted the mic to the controller. I have them somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the.golden.ax Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Would a Yes, missing the yellow ball, and also a mounting bracket that mounted the mic to the controller. I have them somewhere. Wouldn't I disappoint everyone if I didn't say something to a post with the words ball and mounting in it? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DestinedCruz Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I just won an auction for an Odyssey 2 online, unboxed but with two controllers and the RF box for $12. Also convinced PawnAmerica to sell me the (complete, I counted the pieces) Quest for the Rings box set for $20. It has been a good day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
