CRV Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) Sales today: -$1 Need for Speed: Underground Rivals (PSP) -50¢ MGA Centipede handheld -$2 Frogger plug & play -$1 GBA SP AGS-001 with Classic NES Series Pac-Man cartridge -$1 Real Pool (PS2) -$3 Original Nintendo DS The screens on the GBA and DS are scratched to hell. The DS is in really rough shape, but everything on it seems to work. Both systems have liquid crystal problems (whatever the technical term is), but I guess the DS will be fine for personal use until it starts leaking or something. (I've been looking for a cheap DS since I broke my DS Lite I found at a sale a couple years ago trying to fix it.) The Real Pool disc is pretty scratched. The manual had white specks on it and smells like hotel soap. I have nothing against pool games, but I wouldn't have bought it if it wasn't by a Japanese developer - one featured on my site, Astroll.

Uzumaki Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Scored a Commodore SuperPET model 9000 for $25. It was the last PET released and it's basically a 8032 on steroid with 96k RAM and a lot of built in programming stuff like basic, assembler, fortran, cobol, etc. It was described as not working right with garbage sometimes, and sometimes working. Sounded like chip creep issue to me and $25 is a frickin' steal for *any* PET system. If I can't make it work, I can always sell the mainboard, grab a PC board or Raspberry Pi, wire the original keyboard in, the monitor seems to be a composite type and should work as well, and run a PET emulator. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seob Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 (edited) Been to a thriftshop yesterday, didn't pick up much. Only a boardgame and a dutch programming manual for the zx spectrum. They also had what i think a 486 pc, seeing it had a lcd screen mhz screen and no turbo button. It had a vga card and a soundcard and cdrom player, but i could open it to see the boards. They asked 25 euro for it, so i passed on it. Sorry for the inverted picture, but it seems i can't take picture right with the ipad.

doomwaves Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Original 3DS system - $30 Got some scratches on the bottom screen, and some weird paint on the back of it.. But it works perfectly! No charger, and no stylus but the price was right. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Phruby Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Picked up complete in box SNES from Goodwill the other day. They wouldn't let me have the cartridge though. They said they pull those for the web site. Lame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) Pretty excited to find boxed O2 games in the wild in good condition. Also found an Intellivoice game I didn't have. All I need now is that Baseball game. I also couldn't pass up Super Mario World. The O2 games were $6, the other two $5. Not a bad day Edited June 26, 2014 by fred 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asaki Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Thrift got in a box full of Atari 2600 games...none of them looked like they were worth $4, though =| Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagnaFarce Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Picked up a couple nice finds from Craigslist over the past couple days.Yesterday I was looking around for my usual searches, not finding much of anything. When I searched for 'Intellivision', though, I hit the juicy stuff.Six Intellivision consoles, two of them in box, and a boxed Intellivoice module. Haven't tested them yet, but I'll be happy if even half of them work without any trouble.Also came with all these boxed games. I looked through several of them and they had their overlays, so I'm thinking most, if not all, of the games have at least the overlays. I guess the guy who was selling them has been cleaning out his 80 year old father's garage for him and neither of them wanted them anymore. They had an Intellivision when he was growing up, and his dad just bought every Intellivision he ever came across at garage sales for replacement parts and backups. Got all of it for $100.I just got back today from picking up some Commodore 64 stuff. The Commodore itself has a couple broken keys, but I've already got a nice working one, so I'm not really worried. I mainly wanted the peripherals. I've been wanting to get my hands on a Commodore floppy drive for a while now since I've got a bunch of 5.25" floppies I bought a while ago, and I just don't want to have to deal with cassette tapes anymore. The Koala pad doesn't have the stylus, but that's a pretty quick fix. I'm interested to see what the Power Pad has to offer. Also nice to have a couple more joysticks. There was a box of software as well. Most of them are educational games for kids, but I'm still gonna check 'em out. A couple of them have some nifty keyboard overlays. Got everything for $40. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariLeaf Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 (edited) Got a boxed 7800 (expansion port model) complete with about 7 or 8 loose carts (all common) in a trade with another local collector for a couple spare nes toaster decks and some game doubles. Worked out well for both of us. He's more of an NES guy and me, well. goes without saying Oh and my Pacmanplus multicart came in yesterday too. Have yet to try it. Rearranging the game room and preparing lots of stuff to sell so haven't had an opportunity to try it yet. Thanks to everyone involved in that BTW Edited June 29, 2014 by AtariLeaf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+FujiSkunk Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 A nice little collection from one of the local mom-and-pop thrifts. All four of the discs have scratches, and Tomb Raider in particular is rather beat up, but they all at least begin loading, and at fifty cents a pop I'm not going to complain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wickeycolumbus Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Went to a new game store today, their Atari games are 99 cents each. Not anything great but I did pick up: Millipede Jr. Pac Man Space Attack Taz Also got a couple Gameboy games for $4.99 each, Super Mario Land 2 and Castelvania Adventure. I'll have to check back at some point to see if they get anything new. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Link Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Yeah, we have a new store called War Dogs, only place in town that sells retro stuff, pawn shops don't even have stuff older than PS2 sports games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangest Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Took some trade-in to Game Dude today, which allowed me to buy these for $3 each and still come out ahead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickeycolumbus Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Buy 5 get one free, $0.99 each. They also had a color label Ram-It for 14.99. The only Atari game I saw for over $0.99. Still, might be worth getting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, might be worth getting. Sweet find, I would have easily picked those up for that deal. Most appear somewhat uncommon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manoau2002 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I got the following games for three dollars a piece at a local thrift store. Assassians Creed 3 Playstation 3 Battlefield 3 Playstation 3 Saints Row The Third Playstion 3 Halo 2 Xbox Star Wars the clone wars/tetris worlds Xbox LOTR Return of the King Xbox Zapper Xbox Sonic Adventure Battle 2 Gamecube Spyro Hero Tale Gamecube Ultimate Spiderman Gamecube Crash Wrath of the Cortex Gamecube I don't own a playstation three but I figured my local game store should pay me more in credit than the cost of those three games. They had a tun (maybe one hundred) ps2 sports games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
