Shephda Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Another Craigslist jackpot! Found an ad for an Amiga 500 with hard drive, mouse, and software. Got it for $40. The case of the 500 is broke but said to be in working condition. What all came with it is just astounding! A500 with PS and mouse GVP Series II Hard Drive. Not sure if there's RAM in yet or not. External floppy drive Extra Amiga\Atari mouse Atari joystick Tons (at least 200 disks) of loose floppies Boxed software includes 6 AD&D titles by SSI, COMPLETE! About 6 misc. titles complete and boxed OS 2.1 with all the manuals It feels like Christmas morning. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the.golden.ax Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 (not in relation to anyones find, just CL in general) Damn the fact that CL is an hour drive in 99% of cases from where I live. It is no longer an option. I'm not going to travel 2 hours to find out someone got there quicker AX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_Locomotive Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I've had some interesting imported Goodwill finds though the years. As for today... NES Arkanoid & Vaus controller (haven't been able to test it yet) and TG16 Splatterhouse-$10 total at a thrift. Game Boy King James Bible-$4.99 at a Goodwill. Splatterhouse (or just about any TG-16) is a damn fine thrift find. But the arkanoid controller is what really does it for me. King James too. Splatterhouse is rare in the wild, and I'd snap it right up too, but the others . You will probably never believe it, but I found a TurboGraphics with Splatterhouse and a half-dozen other games just lying out in the street in St. Louis one day. Works great! It's a nice little system--I'll be honest, I had never heard of it, and it surprised me to find it (almost as if it had just been pitched from a car window in a grocery bag). None of the games are my particular cup of tea. Don't really know if I will keep it or put it up on Ebay...been hanging on to it for a few years now. UPDATE: Here's what games it had: Legendary Axe with case and insert Alien Crush with case and insert Takin' it to the Hoop with case and insert Splatterhouse with case and insert Keith Courage in Alpha zones with case and insert Then it had the following manuals (no cases or games): Victory Run Space Harriers Blazing Lazers Would you sell your copy of Splatter House? If so how much would you want? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpendTooMuchOnAtari Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 (edited) These are some finds from various places from the local record shop to Game Stop. The thing that pissed me off about my Game Stop find was that the price sticker on Rule of Rose looks like $9.99 but they said the sticker got cut off and that the "1" was missing so it was really $19.99. I asked if they would honor the price the game states but you guys know them, that wasn't happening. But, I wanted it so grabbed it anyway. PTO IV was a much better deal! I also scored a brand new, sealed Donkey Kong Country Returns guide in the clearance bin...it was normally $20 but got it half off for $10. My daughter is so excited, she is having trouble finding some of the puzzle pieces and other things. I believe you can see the prices on most things in the pics. Many of the N64 titles were bought because I have a few systems to sell and wanted games to put with them so 99 cents wasn't too bad.

orangest Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Currently in Idaho visiting family, (and my mom, who is buried in Emmett, about a 1/2 hour out of Boise) and I had some time to go searching around... The Tetris DS with manual ($5), PS1 Alone in the Dark: One-Eyed Jack's Revenge ($2), Xbox Mega Man Anniversary Collection, GameCube Preview Disc and Naruto 4: (3 for $15 deal) were found at a pawn shop. Yeah, I'd like to know how the import Naruto wound up in Boise myself. The label-less 2600 Apollo game was $.99 at another pawn shop. I realize a monogrammed Spacechase may be too much to ask.

If that Cube Preview Disc is in nice shape and you are looking to move it, let me know. I'm interested in that one, maybe I'll shoot you a PM quick.

I'm not saying I'm opposed to the idea, but I hate selling a single game without selling the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithbk Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I hate to sell any old game system...but I have no emotional attachment to the Turbografx system. None of the games I have are the type I typically play. I've held onto it because I thought maybe I would find another game (one I really like) for it...but have not.

Itchy Koala Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Couple decent finds today, about half came from a thrift store, the other half a game store. Can't wait to go home and play burnout revenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEgamer Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Managed to find a 32x today for only a $1 (no cable unfortunately). Didn't work at first, but after opening it, one of the ribbon cables was unplugged for unknown reasons. Works great now with my ghetto/redneck rig Right now I just have the video lines hooked up: No way I'm spending $22+ for a small cable like that!

SpendTooMuchOnAtari Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 (edited) I went to some yard sales on Saturday with my son and we had fun but there weren't many going on. I believe it was because it being Easter Weekend. But, we did hit some sales and I found some interesting things. These are also some finds from a used clothing store and a record store. My son found a big bag of Lego's for 4 bucks at a yard sale so he was happy with that. Here is what I found: A list and prices coming soon but my favorite find was Galaxian for the ColecoVision for 99 cents!

Itchy Koala Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Another couple games. These ran 2-3 dollars a piece. I found these in a pawn shop down in the ghetto. When I walked in there was a couple feet of space, then the rest of the store was behind bullet proof glass. To go back there, you had to wait for them to unlock the door. It was funny because they asked what I was looking for, then their next question was "are you carrying a concealed weapon"?

SpendTooMuchOnAtari Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 (edited) STMOAtari, very nice finds! Thanks a lot, Galaxian for the ColecoVision was hell of a find and I was really happy with the GameCube game because I need that one and have been looking for it. Fire Emblem fits quite nicely in my collection...I think it's either title number 105 or 110 for my Cube collection. A lot of the items shown are for sale or trade so if anyone sees something they would like, just PM me. Thanks again!

SEgamer Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 (edited) If you have second thoughts on keeping it, I wouldn't mind spending $22 on a cable for that I'll more than likely use it and an extra Genesis I have to make a Neptune, but I'll keep your offer in mind! Found a PS2 yesterday for $4. Of course it's a 30001 model so it doesn't read discs. Hopefully a bit of cleaning and adjustments will get it running. Here's to 10000 more finds!
