Pong Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I picked up a working NES, controller, P.S., RF cable, with Dragon Warrior game for $6.97 today. I feel so sad now. I never find anything, maybe it's because I'm 15... ...who knows, I need to start. http://movieclips.com/e/qb7w/ Doesn't load anything except for the screengrab. Any other links? (I am 90% sure that was the Nintendo 64 kid) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpendTooMuchOnAtari Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I was reluctantly at Target the other night, we did need some stuff though. Anyway, while my wife was doing the real shopping, I was snooping around the gaming section. A few aisles away from the games, on an end cap was a Clearance section with a good amount of games. I just couldn't walk away from adding something cool to the collection with the DS and PS3 games. The Wii games are going up in a closet for any family member or friends occassions, my best friend has three little girls and just got a Wii so that's a good, inexpensive gift. $9.98 - PS3 Dante's Inferno "Divine Edition" $12.48 - DS Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days $9.98 - Wii Disney Princess Enchanted Journey X2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that price there is no way I could pass on it, may have to go look later today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that price there is no way I could pass on it, may have to go look later today. And, I would offer to get you one at actual price plus cheap shipping but that was the only one. They had a bunch of some sort of Wolverine PS3 game but it was $19.98. I think they had one more Kingdom Hearts but I got all the Wii Disney Princess games LOL! They had some XBOX but nothing looked like a great deal and I don't have that system so didn't look too well at those. Yeah, check your local Targets. Dante's Inferno was a great deal and I probably would have bought a few if they would have had them...good game to sit on factory sealed at that price. Mine will be opened if I ever get caught up on my back log of games. Good luck at the Targets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No luck, I asked if they could check if any stores have it in stock and they told me its sold out and no longer carried at every single Target in the county.

bennybingo Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I was at the local salvation army and I found an atari 2600 MASH t-shirt (the one from the free t-shirt giveaway that says Games of the Century on the back). It was only $0.50 Too bad it is extra small . It does complete the game nicely on my shelf tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariLeaf Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I thought this was cool enough to spend $3 on - an old PC game called Armor Alley on 5 1/4 floppies complete. Also inside was the manual and disk for another game - Airborne Ranger. I'd love to find an old XT PC. I have few old PC games in the basement still.

I just saw Sorcerer's apprentice at Ebay and it ranges from $6.99 to over $30.00 , what's it REALLY WORTH? BTW, wtf is up with the online rarity guide at digitpress?, It's either gone or offline.

SpendTooMuchOnAtari Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 BTW, wtf is up with the online rarity guide at digitpress?, It's either gone or offline. That's not such a bad thing, the prices on their guide were way off for the most part. Especially Atari IIRC. There is a price guide at atari2600.com that is a bit better for 2600 carts. However, something is only "worth" what someone is willing to pay for it so a completed search on ebay is pretty much what a game is worth right now.

Yeah but click on it, an error screen comes up saying rarity guide is temporarily not available, been like that for a long time, that's the case for me anyway.

SpendTooMuchOnAtari Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I usually don't hit Game Stop up but my wife and kids were clothes shopping so I had to find something to do. So, I went to kill some time and ended up dropping 100 bucks. I had no intention but having been looking to beef up my Cube and DS collection but figured they had games in generic cases and the chances of one have the artwork, with the manual and then a disc that I can accept was slim. I found some pretty cool things at fair prices and have been sick of paying shipping online. Anyway, I did pay for their little club where I get the magazine and percentage off but it ended up only costing me a few bucks. The current issue they gave me has an interview with Nolan Bushnell that I started but haven't finished. Pretty cool bonus to get magazines with current games coming out and stuff. Plus, my games got cheaper! I then hit my local record store that has games and got more games and the three CDs for $71 so spent a grand total of $171 which includes the crazy AZ Maricopa tax which blows. Also, everything that you see has a case is complete with all disc games in good shape, I make them open them so I can see the discs before buying. Most of these are for my personal collection, only a couple were bought to trade or sell off like Ogre Battle for 6 bucks. I also scored some Club Nintendo Points for my buddy because I've registred many of them Here is what I found at both stores: I had changed a bunch of cases before the pics so the prices aren't on a lot but saved the receipts because I wouldn't have remembered everything. Here is a list. GAME STOP 5.39 Tamagotchi Connection Corner 3 (this completes my set, I have one or two, kids like them!) 10.34 Sin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey 10.34 Bejeweled Twist 5.39 Jake Hunter Decective Chronicles 5.39 Chibi-Robo Park Patrol 6.29 Puzzle Quest: Galactrix 4.49 Cosmic Family (has a coloring book with it that is nice and unused) 3.59 Major Minor's Majestic March 5.39 Blast Works: Build Trade & Destroy 4.49 Elebits 7.19 Pac-Man Fever 3.59 Catwoman 2.69 Dave Mirra Freestyle Bmx 2 2.69 Rocket Power: Beach Bandits 14.99 Reward Club to get the above games at the discount and a year's worth magazine RECORD SHOP 6.99 Crass CD " Yes Sir, I Will" - OOP 5.99 Crass CD "10 Notes On A Summers Day" - OOP 2.99 Crass CD "Christ The Bootleg" - OOP 2.99 Pipe Mania 5.99 SSX Blur 5.99 Metal Gear Solid VR Missions 4.99 Dragon Ball GT Final Bout (I used my points on this one, it was 9.99) 8.99 Mario Tennis - CIB 1.99 FunPak 4-in-1 Gameboy Cart 6.99 Ogre Battle 64 - Nice Cart, Nice Instructions and a hard plastic N64 case 4.95 FIVE Misc GameGear Carts 6.00 FOUR Misc NES Carts TAX - BOO! 14.25 Yeah, over 9% here!

SpendTooMuchOnAtari Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I know man, I wish I knew how to fix that, you have no idea how much that bugs me! I think it's since I got this new camera, just not good with this stuff. Anyone know what I can do? And, I was hoping most could be seen fairly well without clicking becuase it is almost comical how big it blows up to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
