RickHarrisMaine Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I'm sure I paid too much for this, but it was at a Goodwill, and it was a game that I was planning on buying anyways. GTA Vice City for the PS2. It has the map, manual, and a pristine disc. In fact, I don't think the thing's ever been played. I'm sure if I hunted a lot, I could have found it for less than the $5.99 I bought it for, but oh well. And those Intellivision carts that Kitsune Sniper picked up were a freakin' deal! Pac Man alone is worth $10. You got a good $100 in resale there alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night Driver Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Corning SalVal, last night: SNES $3 Nintendo (w/ Mario left inside) $3 "How to Master the VIDEO GAMES," by Tom Hirschfeld $.49 (I felt this was a little much to pay until I noticed that it offers "The hottest tips on Pac-Man.") "The Insect World of J.Henri Fabre," a translation of work by the French entomologist who 'united poetry and science.'$ .49 On Thurs., I found Fantasia, Dune & SuperMarioWorld (SNES) $2 each.

video game addict Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Hadn't really done the rounds this week, but f9ound a few things anyway. That's my life, I guess. NES - MEGA controller (crazy thing takes batteries and has an LCD control panel for memorizing moves) - $1 I bought a MEGA controller back in the day. The LCD has a built in game, almost like a Nintendo game & watch, which as you played & improved your score, would net you better settings (turbo/slow-mo/etc) for which to use in actual NES games. Kind of a weird little option for a controller, I think the only one of it's kind until the dreamcast controllers came out with the memory plug-ins & playable games.

Ghost Soldier Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Nice find, Ghost Soldier! I wish I could find some decent Saturn games nowadays! I was shocked to find them. They where sitting in a pawn and the guy behind the counter was upset that one of the associates bought them from someone. He was complaining that they would never sell. Then I walked in and bought all of em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scumdogg Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Found a few things over the weekend. Fighters Megamix CIB Saturn 1.00 Virtua Fighter CIB Saturn 1.00 Virtua Fighter w/sleeve *promotional copy Saturn 1.00 Virtua Fighter Kids loose Saturn 1.00 Die Hard Arcade loose Saturn 1.00 Genesis 3 Button Controller and Rf-switch .59 Man, i was just in a local Goodwill and they had about 25 complete Saturn games under the counter. $7 each, for something they got for free. I'd really like to have a talk with whoever does their pricing. I'm sure they don't understand what they are, or realize the tremendously low percentage of their customers that are even going to HAVE a Saturn, they're just priced high because a few of them still had $39.99 tags on them from retail. Even though i hate to support that kinda crap, i did pick up Bubble Bobble, Bust-a-Move 2, and Panzer Dragoon, just because they were in SUCH good condition and i've been eager for something to do with my Saturn. I swear though, Goodwill stores are starting to be priced like the managers are skimming off the top. What other possible motivation could there be for the outrageous markups on donated merchandise from what's supposed to be a charitable organization? Although they way they price the clearance stuff that Target unloads on them, i guess i should be glad that they went *down* from the retail tags, and not back *up* in price.

MFoolsRun Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Found a Power Glove (glove only, no sensor bars or junction box) with manuals at Goodwill today. Anyone need it? I probably won't use it for anything other than decoration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grabbed too many of them today. I picked up Sega Touring Car, World Series Baseball '98, and Robo Pit all CIB today. Two were $8 each, and WS Baseball was $4. Best find of the bunch was Robo Pit. Now if I could find a CIB Virtua Cop 2 in the long box with the correct disc...it's a rarity 6 title. Yep, it was sold without the stunner for a little while.

gulag picture radio Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 and Panzer Dragoon, just because they were in SUCH good condition Whoa.

These are the days it pays to turn up every rock. All of this was $20 NES system, controllers, zapper, AC U-force controller (all games were in sleeve with docs) M.C. Kids - McDonald's tie-in game Spider Man: Return of the Sinister Six The Simpsons: Bart Vs. The Space Mutants T&C Surf Designs Operation Wolf Tiny Toon Adventures Heavy Shreddin' Quarto 4 in 1: f-16 renegade, cj's elephant antics, Go! Dizzy Go!, Stunt Buggies Pro Wrestling Super Mario 2 Abadox Zelda - grey cart... never seen one of those before Track & Field II Spy Vs. Spy Kung Fu Sky Shark TMNT Destination Earthstar Dr. Mario Metalstorm The Hunt for Red October Super Mario 3 The Simpsons: Bart Versus The World Super Mario/Duck Hunt Rocketeer Ice Hockey Hydlide Zany Golf (for Genesis... one of my fave games on the Amiga) Now I've got to find a rarity guide and see if any of the ones I've not heard of are worth some green. any recommendations besides DP?
