DeusVult Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Not my find, but I sure would like to know where in NC they found it. That's my neck fo the woods! http://games.yahoo.com/blogs/plugged-in/woman-buys-video-game-could-worth-15-000-220621476.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinju Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I was in the Savers across the street and looking at the boy's toys (as I find robot toys there pretty regularly) and I found a full peg of these boxed NES games. Some are CIB, some are missing parts, but they are in pretty good shape. I'm not going to post what I paid, because I don't collect NES and am definitely reselling them, but I figured I'd get more than I paid for each. The titles I got were: Kiwi Kraze (CIB I think) Dr. Mario (is missing sleeve, manual, and I think the foam piece in the bottom of box) Battletoads (is missing cover page and page 1 of manual but complete otherwise) Laser Invasion (is missing manual but complete otherwise) Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego? (CIB) Super Cars (missing everything but cart and box) Operation Secret Storm (CIB I believe) G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero (CIB I believe) I thought it was a pretty good score. I'm going to post a sales thread here in a minute, but I don't really know what any of them are worth. Nice little lot, Taxan GI Joe CIB is a nice score, I need to find me a copy of that Operation Secret Storm myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariLeaf Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Today is an explosion of finds. Congrats to everyone; very nice to see people still find things and that this thread is now 500 pages! Wow, started in late 2002, shortly after I joined AA, which was November 2002. I even posted on the first page Fun to go back and scan through the first couple dozen pages and remember those scores of yesteryear.

the.golden.ax Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Had to go down to the city records due to an a**hat neighbor. Hit GW again while I was on the way home and grabbed a slim PSP remote cord for a buck, a real 8mb MagicGate Sony memory card for $3.50, and V.Motion Wall-E for a buck. Not the best stuff in the world. They did have an Xbox Haunted Mansion for $5.99 but I'm going to see if it looks fun on youtube and wait for half price.

Asaki Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Stopped at a few thrifts on the way to (and inside of) Canada...mostly just books. Found a few decent videogame things, but had to pass on them. Stopped at a Value Village and paid way too much for books, but found a couple I couldn't leave behind...my first "in the wild" sighting of Philip K. Dick, so I grabbed both of them (Counter-Clock World and The Man in the High Castle), and a hardcover collection of Ian Fleming's James Bond, which leaves me with only 3.5 books missing near the end of the series, so I can finally start reading them. Found an EB Games and they were having a most excellent Spring Cleaning Sale on new (unused) titles. Pilotwings Resort $5 (3DS) Wii: Link's Crossbow Training $1 (used in generic case), Sin & Punishment 2 $5, Geometry Wars Galaxies $2, Spray $1 Hellboy: Director's Cut $2 (BD) They also had Duke Nukem: Critical Mass for the DS, which was weird because I thought that game was vaporware for certain. Didn't grab it, though B) Was probably a wise decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
