Jess Ragan Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 It's been slim pickins as of late. Found three games- Super Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, Jurassic Park (Super NES), and Dino Stalker- for a quarter each. Was able to get all three games for fifty cents, so I was pretty happy about that. (Return of the Jedi kind of stinks IMO) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wow, that's a pretty good haul! I almost feel sorry for the GameCube; these days you can get one for a handful of beans. They don't even have to be magic!

Asaki Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 ...these days you can get one for a handful of beans. It probably doesn't help that most Wiis can do almost everything the Cube could do (and with much less expensive component video, to boot!). All the GCs I see in the wild go for about the same prices as PS2s and XBoxes, though. I feel bad for all the PSXs and PS1s I see stacking up everywhere...especially when they try to charge $10-25 for just the console by itself!

Fixitguy74 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 That happens at my local Goodwill, They have 4 Playstations like $25 I glanced at your comment too quick and thought for a moment it said "What happens at my Goodwill...". Then I was expecting it to finnish with "stays at my Goodwill", but it didn't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxpressed Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Not a thrift find but a Craigslist find. Samsung GXE1395 for $50. Not a steal, but it is in great condition and just plain cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asaki Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Autographed Brian Wilson Live at the Roxy Theatre CD-$1.99 at Goodwill. That makes my Goodwill find Jello Biafra signed Lard CD look pretty lame. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxpressed Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Is it the same one that was talked about here? http://atariage.com/...or-dead-weight/ Yes. Same model. I agree that its value is more in its coolness than its utility as a CRT. It shouldn't be a primary CRT, but having your face surrounded by speakers makes for a really immersive experience.

CRV Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Talk about disappointment. Saw at Goodwill what looked like Kether for CD-i on the outside but had a Call of Duty case and game on the inside. Also saw a Talking Computron with cartridge for $3.99 but ended up passing. Actually found something at Salvation Army for once: Kileak the DNA Imperative (PS1) for $1.95 complete.

orangest Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 That makes my Goodwill find Jello Biafra signed Lard CD look pretty lame. Nah, that's still very nice to find! College Slam, Destroy All Humans 2, F-1 Race and the 24 in 1 Game Gear multicart were $5.99 each at Goodwill; the Office Mac 2004 Student and Teacher Edition is unopened and was $6.99.

+GoldenWheels Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Not a thrift find per se but bought an Interact Shadowblade arcade stick for 10$ at the Play N Trade in Danbury, CT. I needed something to use for mame, etc my soft modded xbox and there were surprisingly few arcade sticks made for the original Xbox (I discovered). So for now I am running this into the Xbox via a controller converter and it works fine. Thing is built like a TANK and was totally clean save one missing rubber foot.

+FujiSkunk Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I get the feeling I missed out on a goldmine this weekend, but I absolutely cannot complain with what I did get. One of my usual thrifts had three SNES cartridges in three different areas of the store. I left the loose Mario Paint and Bart's Nightmare behind, but grabbed the CIB Earthworm Jim, after which I discovered an empty box of Yoshi's Cookie for the original Game Boy. I would have liked the game to go with it, but boxes are harder to find than games, so it was still a nice get. The cost? One whole dollar for everything. I even got a USB optical mouse in the deal.

orangest Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Just another manic Monday... $2 at an Out of the Closet thrift. $5.99 each at Goodwill. My closest Salvation Army has taken to bundling games by system lately. This PS1 bundle was $9.99. This GameCube bundle including WarioWorld and a Game Boy Player disc on the top (to go along with the player attached to the Cube) was $35.

Asaki Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Nah, that's still very nice to find! Perhaps, but personally, I would've been much more excited about a Brian Wilson sig. But then, maybe that's a common find in California. I left the loose Mario Paint and Bart's Nightmare behind... You're missing out, Bart's Nightmare is pretty good. Gets a little frustrating sometimes, though. My closest Salvation Army has taken to bundling games by system lately. It's certainly a good way to make sure they get rid of the garbage games, too. I always see them sitting there for months, and they just keep accumulating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangest Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Perhaps, but personally, I would've been much more excited about a Brian Wilson sig. But then, maybe that's a common find in California. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Brian fan too and was very excited. He and Jello are definitely two distinctive stripes of the California sound. I actually found a Honeys CD autographed by Brian's ex-wife Marilyn recently at Amoeba Records Hollywood. Paid $20, which given the fact that it's a hard CD to find and it was signed AND was at Amoeba is not too bad. It's certainly a good way to make sure they get rid of the garbage games, too. I always see them sitting there for months, and they just keep accumulating. Very true, and guys like me fall for it to get the nuggets.

SRGilbert Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I haven't been on much lately, been a busy summer so far, but I've been trying to keep up with everyone's finds! I've actually done very well this summer, but posting hasn't been a top priority. I have a bunch of stuff to post when I get a chance, but I think this is worth bragging a bit about right now! Stopped at a garage sale (one of many many sales) on Saturday. Couple of older ladies, a few tables of the usual junk. Did a quick look around didn't see anything and gave my wife the, "ready to go?" look. She says, "You didn't want that Donkey Kong game?" I'm like "Huh, where?" "Right there, on that table." Sitting in the middle of a table was this: Yes, it's an original shrink wrapped DK64. It's gorgeous, no tears, no fading, only a minor crease at the top. No price tag. So I ask one of the ladies, "how much for this?" She: "I don't know, what's it worth?" (Yeah, right.) Me: "I'm not sure, what do you think you want for it?" She: "How about four dollars?" SOLD! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icemanxp300 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Nice grab on the DK. It looks like many non vertical seals are selling on ebay? I know some n64 games never had a seal, but I know this game does have a seal at least on some. So maybe they released this game with and without vertical seals? I'm not sure. Anyone know?
