What's on the Lords of Thunder video? That just a promo video for the game or something? That's some amazing finds you got there all in one day. Most impressive!

I gone to 20 some yard sellers out of hunderds that was there. I hope they will be there again on Sunday if not next week. Even if I already had many of there stuff I still LOVE the HUNT! Fining there just bring back many good old memorys of me going to toy stores like Toy-R-Us in the mid and late 80s^^

[Mindfield]

Holy shit, dude, you made out like a bandit -- $80 for all that? I'd have sold a kidney if it'd have given me enough to buy all that load. Thrifts and yard sales around here are barren -- I don't even bother.

 

Congrats on that haul -- incredible stuff there.

Congratulations, you've got an instant collection. I know you already had a collection, but now you've got double! I still can't get over you finding TurboGraphix stuff in the wild. I haven't seen any Turbo stuff for sale (other than the classic game dealer out at the flea market) in over a decade.

Damn and I thought I had a good deal with 9 SNES game, 6 cib, and a cib snes super scope (to match my super famicom super scope). Very nice haul, I envy you as well.

Being in that yard sale was like being Templeton The Rat from Charlotte's Web hoping around in joy "OH JOY ATARI AND NINTENDO!"

[christianscott27]

very nice!

 

wish my neighborhood put out more stuff like that and less old computer printers and ikea cast-offs. sometimes outside the city i can find great stuff but around here its all renters and grad students, the least gaming people around. every now and then i'll directly ask them if they have games and they always whip out some 7 year old PC flight sim or a copy of myst. i've learned, at least in my neighborhood, that the fancier the road sign the worse the stuff they have. if it looks like mom made the sign with a sharpie on the back of a cardboard box, awesome!

 

my meager haul after hitting 7 sales

 

- jet force gemni

- megaman X and megaman X2

- battletoads something or other

- mad catz xbox wheel set in box

 

about $20, passed on the SNES and N64 system sets.

[Atariboy2600]

I gone back to that place and found more Nintendo Power and other video game mags but no more old consoles, I beleave I clean them out of game systmes^_^ I think my best things I found are the mags cuase they are even harder to fine then gaming systms:)

[Famicoman]

Really? THey go on ebay alot for around $2. I have about 500 game mags. Honestly, you would be surprised how cheap people tend to get rid of them.

 

AtariBoy, did you manage to snag the first issue of NP?
