gulag picture radio Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Whoa - 2 Wii remotes for $30? These were at a thrift already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scumdogg Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Whoa - 2 Wii remotes for $30? These were at a thrift already? I've seen them one time around here as well, but they were $20 each. They're just store overstock donated for tax writeoff purposes. I know people are buying remotes now for Christmas and such, but for a long time the stores around me looked like they didn't have any way of storing all their excess controllers and accessories.

There must be some store donating opened stuff or something... These two wii remotes worked, but I had bought one from that thrift before that didnt. I also bought a usb Wii for your computer to share internet thing for $5 and a nunchuck for $7. I bought most of this stuff before I had a wii, but i'm glad I did. I would like to find out what store is donating them.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just assumed because like i said, i've seen several unopened remotes and accessories at thrift stores. If they were open and you paid $15 each, seems pretty risky to me.

thrax Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 20 bucks got me my first atari computer a couple weeks ago (hence joining here). A 1040 ste with original manuals in near mint condition plus a new mouse and monitor master. I like all the 68K motorola computer brands so it really made my day since I rarely find anything good.

I made sure they gave me a return policy on these wii remotes. So, I bought these, they both worked, and I returned the wii remote that didn't work and I got burned on. I was also wondering if they were returned items. THey have weird barcode stickers and markings on them , and the barcodes on the box are markered out. Not too mention, they showed up with a bunch of sealed xbox games, and one was a ps3 game. They sure seem like they came from a store.

Bruce Tomlin Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 cib stands for "complete in box". "cib no manual" is a contradiction. As I understand it, "CIB" stands for "Cartridge, Instructions, Box" (at least with VCS games) but does not necessarily mean complete as it was originally; other incidental enclosures such as warranty card, product catalog, contest entry or mail-in offer form, etc. might be missing. CIB originally (as I remember it back in the mid-to-late-'90s) stood for Cartridge, Box, and Instructions. Those are the three columns I use for my own checklists. But it also means complete in box to other people. Anyhow, some stuff I found recently: GEN Columns, cart + cardboard box + instructions, $1.50 GEN Jurassic park, box + instructions, $0.50? (I already had a loose cart) DC Tomb Raider Chronicles instructions Settlers of Catan board game, missing one hex tile and one resource card, $1.50 "The Hobbit" PC game (CGA era) with 5 1/4" disk and MINT copy of the paperback book inside box, $1.50 N64 Virtual Chess 64 and Mario Kart 64 that I bought back in May or so, finally found in a bunch of stuff Princess Bride DVD, rotted on full-screen side, a bit scratched on widescreen side (all but about 2 mins watchable) $1.50 SNES Off Road The Baja, We're Back A Dinosaur Story, Family Feud $1.50 each PC Starship Titanic, apparently complete big box with audio-book sample tape, $3 (jewel case needed parts replaced, also this is my third PC copy found so far, no Mac version yet) GEN Insector X, Jungle Strike, Target Earth, all cart+box+instr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickHarrisMaine Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Ran across a treasure trove (at least for me) of minty-fresh N64 carts and an SNES cart Mario Kart 64 Super Mario 64 Chameleon Twist Star Wars Episode 1 Podracer 1080 Snowboarding and for the SNES, a mint copy of Super Mario World all at $1.99 apiece. The carts all looked essentially unused. Quite surprising. I left the sports/wrestling stuff there, though. Its all on ebay now, hopefully I can fund some presents for the kids!

vrocko Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Hey there everyone, I've looked through a lot of the thrift finds forum here. Man I hope I'm as lucky as some of you've been! I did get some 2600 carts I saw at the local Goodwill store. Starmaster x2 Star Raiders x2 Combat x4 (yes I did say four) Stampede x2 Warlords x2 Pitfall Air-Sea Battle Video Chess Vanguard Street Racer Sky Jinks Ms. Pacman Desert Falcon Berzerk A lot of duplicates but they all worked, except for Pitfall. I can't seem to get that one to work. Great games all and I enjoyed getting Warlords, Star Raiders and Starmaster again. I could use some more controllers but they seem to be hard to find. I'll see what else I can find this week and let you know. Vrocko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scumdogg Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Well, i finally found a few new games last night...first ones i'd come across in around three weeks or so i think. I got the following for the NES: Super Spike V-Ball/Nintendo World Cup (w/manual): $2 Section Z: $2 The Goonies 2: $2 The Legend of Zelda (Classics Series, complete): $3 Of course all of them had their prices written on them in permanent marker, Zelda's on the box. Most of it came off after some serious effort though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
