icemanxp300 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Bought a GameCube WaveBird controller at a sale Thursday for a dollar. Didn't see a receiver, so what was the point? Still sell for $15 ish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icemanxp300 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 These were found at a Goodwill for $5.99 each, all new and sealed. I wonder if these were part of a store or warehouse drop given the Blade II and Cabela games for both Xbox and PS2 (there was another sealed PS2 Blade II that I left). You find a lot of sealed games cheap. I found a sealed xbox jade empire at goodwill the other day but it was $3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Fisher Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 It's easy to miss. On first glance, you would think it was just a CD deck, or perhaps a DVD player. I suspect many Nuons have been missed at yard sales and thrift shops for the same reason. True, but not by me! I got all three of my Nuon players at pawn shops, both of my CD-i players at thrift shops, and my Laseractive with Sega PAC at a thrift shop. I don't think I paid more than $10 for any of the Nuons or CD-i's but I will admit that the Laseractive was around $50. For some reason, thrifts are still way overpricing LD players, so the Laseractive wasn't any more than if it had been a regular player. By the way, my 910 has exactly the same problem with the drawer not closing all the way. I wonder if that it common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaWarrior Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Nabbed the gameboy stuff for $1, nabbed the tetris for $.25, tomb raider for $.50, coleco games $.50 each for labels and $.25 each for non labels. I have no idea what the non labels are as I don't have a coleco anymore. Got the wii games for $10 I can't see the games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also glad mine doesn't sound like a screeching banshee when it opens. Edited August 6, 2013 by nightwheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbee99 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 My CL find. Midway Super Pac-Man working, Gottlieb's Golden Arrow (minor ball release problem), and Turbo Cockpit (unknown problem. believed to be monitor issue). I was able to test the pinball machine there. I have yet to power the Turbo up. Trouble shooting comes this weekend for those two. $350 for the lot. I figured the Super Pac was worth that. The other 2 are something for me and the kids work on. Our 1st arcade machine projects. Stocked for the weekend! B 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orangest Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Flea market finds: NES Remote Control and Championship Bowling are both complete, in great shape and were $5 each. GC Custom Robo and PS2 Freaky Flyers were $2 each, and the Japanese PS2 Evergrace II was $5 Goodwill finds, $5.99 each. MP4 and MKDD are missing their manuals, a too-common trait the I've been running into lately among GameCube games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagnaFarce Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) Fridays at my flea market are really hit or miss. I either find nothing whatsoever, or multiple items I've been searching for for months, if not years. Today was the latter. Seganet DC keyboard: $3 PXL-2000 camcorder: $12 Hey You Pikachu complete: $5 Superpad 64 Plus controller: $1 I'm most excited about the PXL-2000 and the DC keyboard. I've been keeping my open, hoping I'd find either one of those for about two years now, and today I found both of them. Same seller even, so I was able to negotiate the price a bit more. Edit: My friend also gave me a Mario Paint cartridge, a SNES mouse, and the mouse pad last night, but I don't have a picture. He's trying to start a Mario Paint collective.

AtariLeaf Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 CIB 2600 Donkey Kong for $6 at the local game store. Not a great price but acceptable. They had Trick Shot CIB for $9 but left it, maybe next time if I bring in some trade bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jess Ragan Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Anybody want a 1998 RCA portable LCD TV still sealed in the package? Found it Saturday. Is it a TFT screen, or one of those old passive-matrix screens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
