Any good finds this weekend??

[lonesome_pa]

Was wondering if anyone had any good finds. I did so-so; found 2 Coleco Gemini controllers, Atari 2600 Mountain King, boxed Tennis, and Eggomania. They also had a boxed Sega Genesis for only $15, but I passed it up. For some reason, that system never did anything for me. I wish I could have found more, but am just happy that I did find something. It seems harder and harder to find games in the wild around me (except for like 25 copies of Combat or some other VERY common game.

Big zero for me.

 

Didn't find a thing Atari wise.

 

All i did find was a Sega Mega Drive for £10

 

I passed it up.

I found a big stack of games (mostly commons) for $2. There were a lot I didn't have, though, and I finally managed to get a copy of Mr. Do!.

[Cassidy Nolen]

Found a boxed 2600Jr. and 8 late 80's games for 19.19. Had all the manuals and looks great.

 

Also found 3 sets of paddles for 3 bucks. Cleaned them up and they work great.

 

Not bad all in all.

I found Pitfall and Fun With Numbers for $.38 apiece and WCW vs NWO for the N64 for $3.

 

Thats it.

I'm glad to hear that the "dry spell" of games is not only around me. But, I do wonder why. I remember not that long ago going into my local thrift store and seeing a load of games in the bin, now I'm lucky to find just one game (assuming again that it's not the Combat or Pac-Man game). My best guess is that people are realizing that games are popular again and instead of donating them, they jump on the band-wagon and try to sell them on eBay. I'm going to Florida next week with my wife and son to see her mother. She said there are quite a few flea and thrift stores there, so maybe my luck will change.

no 2600 stuff. but I did find a colecovision Mr. Do!s Castle and Root Beer Tapper for a buck each.

Ridenmy65:

 

Hehe...we both had some Bira Bira shining on us...

 

I too found a CV Mr. Do's Castle...I paid 3 bucks for mine though. Still that game is up there on the rarity for the CV and to find them for what we did is a good buy.

 

Good version to boot...so I am happy.
