Snatcher alone is fetching more than what you paid for all of it. I'd love to get a nice Sega haul like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFoolsRun Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Snatcher alone is fetching more than what you paid for all of it. I'd love to get a nice Sega haul like that. That's why I jumped on it. The box smells like it's from a smoking house, which sucks, but oh'well, I'll spray 'em all down and scrub 'em before I shelve it all. Craig's list, at least in my area, seemed like a pretty good place to be looking for lots like this. It beats the eBay prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HayakawaKen Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Hm.. I'll post a not too special flea market haul that I had yesterday : Ironsword: Wizards and Warriors 2 - $2 Skate or Die NES - $1 Saturn Bomberman case $1 - the guy sold this to me because it had Batman Forever inside of it, I passed on Batman and bought the case as I own a copy of Saturn Bomberman without the manual, so now I have a complete copy. This is the first time I've done something like this to complete a casing *lol* But there ya go, not overly special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phaxda Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I picked up a boxed Tengen Tetris for $6. It has everything with it. The weird thing is that the woman who sold it to me said she knew it was worth more, but she had quoted a price and honored it. Very honest. I am also continuing my vintage audio splurge and bought a turntable (Dual 1237) for $20 at a thrift/furniture store. If anyone on here is also an Audiokarma.org member, let me know. I am continually amazed at how similar this site and AA are! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gulag picture radio Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Over the weekend Sean Kelly had a swap meet at his store, and I had a couple of killer deals go down. Killer for me, anyway. I traded off a pile of NES commons for an X-box... that might have been the coolest deal for me. Haven't really played much X-box... I also traded some commons for four Super Famicom games. I have a Super Famicom somewhere, but never had any native games to see if they work. I'd tell you what the titles are, but only two are in English: Flying Hero, and Acrobat Mission. I also traded for Nester's Funky Bowling for Virtual Boy (I'm a sucker for any video game bowling), SNES R-Type, and a '77 Star Wars electronic LED game. Thrifting has been pretty light, but here are a few buck specials: NES Win, Lose or Draw (because I love Alan Thicke, I guess...) SMB & Duck Hunt (saving up for my next X-box) SNES Super Mario World Samurai Shodown GP-1 PartII Romance of the Three Kingdoms II Also got a new 30 CD set of old time radio for $2.50, but I doubt anyone cares too much about that.

Both those PnP are really good. Nice find btw Tested and working... one was even packing fresh batteries! I had a good day for buys- I also picked up a '94 Ford Taurus LX- in great shape w/ a 30,000 miles-new engine for ...(drum roll)... $1000. MUCH nicer than the shitbox I unloaded last week for $700. Nice stereo, too. Now... back to Mappy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRGilbert Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Thrifting has been really bad lately for me! Best deal I got this weekend actually came from Craigslist. Someone had a Coleco Donkey Kong tabletop game for sale for $20. He even brought it to my house! Pretty nice shape, no battery corrosion at all, and it works!

MFoolsRun Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Passed on a Model 1 Genny ("High Definition Graphics"), a Model 2 Genny, and an NES tonight at Goodwill; they were $15, $10 and $10 respectively and, though I don't have a Model 1 Genny, I do have three perfectly good Model 2s. As for the NES, I have two or three and I'm sick of fixing them I did pick up an NES002 AC Adapter ($1), since I always seem to be short on them, a gray Zapper ($3), and a new VCR to act as an RF demodulator for my Atari systems ($, which will hopefully take some of the audio buzz out of my Atari signals.

Technosis Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Found some assorted Genny games at a mid day weekend garage sale......got there just as they were putting everything away...$2 for all (had to take some crappy VHS cartoon videos in the same box too LOL!) Picked up another Ikaruga from a video store "used bin" (this one will be up for trade) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep an eye on your head gasket, and your cooling system. particularly the water pump and radiator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep an eye on your head gasket, and your cooling system. particularly the water pump and radiator It depends on which engine it has. The 3.8L is the real culprit, it blows head gaskets religiously. The 3.0L is more durable, but a little less power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFoolsRun Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 new VCR to act as an RF demodulator for my Atari systems ($, which will hopefully take some of the audio buzz out of my Atari signals. Totally worked! Now playing buzz-free 2600! I just need to get one of those three-way cable splitters and reverse it so I can plug all three of my Atari systems into the VCR at once (should work as long as only one Atari is on at once, right?).

I just need to get one of those three-way cable splitters and reverse it so I can plug all three of my Atari systems into the VCR at once (should work as long as only one Atari is on at once, right?). So you have the RF from the atari going into the RF input on the VCR, then the composite cables going into your TV? You did that because there was some audio hum? Just trying to get a picture here.....A little confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you have the RF from the atari going into the RF input on the VCR, then the composite cables going into your TV? You did that because there was some audio hum? Just trying to get a picture here.....A little confused. Correct, I'm using one of those RF-to-COAX adapters to go from my 2600 to the VCR, and then composite cables out to a system selector. The system selector was the point of the exercise; I wanted all my games on one TV input, and every other system I have has composite. The first VCR I attempted this with produced a loud buzz, so I replaced the VCR and it eliminated the buzz. Now I want to do the same with my 5200 and 7800, but don't want to have to buy a VCR for each, so I figure a cable splitter, turned around so that it's 3-to-1 rather than 1-to-3, and a couple more RF-to-COAX adapters might work. Is that clearer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scumdogg Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 So, i picked up a few carts for the Atari 800 or whatever it is today. I don't have the system, but i was so surprised to find anything gaming related at a thrift store, i got 'em anyway. Most are in pretty good shape, although they're cart only. They were bundled in bags of two for $3.99, so basically these were all $2 each: Popeye Pengo Dig Dug Movie Musical Madness Peanut Butter Panic Kaboom! Time Bound James Bond 007 So...i don't really know anything about the Atari 8-bit stuff. Were these worth picking up for the price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
