jmetal88 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 so how much was the whole thing in total? I didn't pay anything for it. All it cost me was gas money to Tulsa and back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranthulfr Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 I bought a loose cart - I think it was Infiltrate - for ten cents at a thrift store once. Dimes rule! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Black_Tiger Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 50 cents is the cheapest I've actually paid for a single cart. Free games and vheap lots aren't the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripletopper Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I got a PS2 Hard Drive for a penny including tax at Gamestop in 2006. No more buying extra memory cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tripletopper Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Another time I found a boxed Astrocade with 3 rare games, a typewriter-written label of Artillery duel, Muncher, and Blast Droids, plus about 6 other games, all for $5 + tax. And the Astrocade worked, and all the games worked too. I sold the Astrocade since I had one, and kept and cartridges that wasn't a double.

tripletopper Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 They separated the hard drive and the Final Fantasy game that used it, overpriced the game, and wAy underpriced the hard drive,thinking you can't use it without the game. PLus doesn't the Slim PS2 have a hard drive built in, or does someone have a copy of FF-something and is unable to play it due to not having a hard drive?

+thegoldenband Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Besides free games, I've gotten quite a few carts in the 25-50 cent range over the years. I've also bought yard sale lots that averaged under 25 cents a game; in particular, the Atari set I bought for $5 a few years ago had 40 games, so even without the hardware (2 consoles, joysticks, paddles, driving controllers), that was only 12.5 cents per game. And my fiancée recently bought a huge lot for $20 that had around 100 games for different consoles, so I guess that's about 20 cents apiece -- again, without counting any associated hardware or non-game stuff.

Rex Dart Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Bought a heap of Super Mario Bros / Duck Hunt carts for $0.10 each when Funcoland was still operating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeekZoop Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Probably $3. I did get a Game Boy about about 7 games for $5. He wanted to give them to me for free but I insisted on paying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Pac Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Free!! I traded 4 very common 2600 carts for Wonderboy in Monterland SMS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLeaf Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 (edited) Free of course. The next closest would probably be 25 cents. Around 1993 a yardsale was selling their collection at 25 cents per game. That was one of the times I came home with a garbage bag full of 2600 carts Actually there was the time I bought a system with 120 games for $10 so that's what, 8 cents per cart?

Rex Dart Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 how many carts were there? About a dozen. I was mad when Gamestop bought them out & jacked up the prices tenfold on all cart games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
