The Small Scores Thread: Part 2!

NO WAY IN HELL YOU GOT SILENT SERVICE FOR FREE

LOL

Sorry to hear your local place shut down Techie. There used to be a used chain that I would stop in all the time. The prices weren't the best, but the staff was really great (still friends with a few now) and they would call me when nice stuff came in. When they had their going out of business sale I raided the place and picked up quite a bit, but was pretty sad to see it go. The other places I visit now are more affordable, but the atmosphere isn't the same.

@Techie413: If you still have the Silent Service I'll take it. I still can't find one around here. Sorry to hear that they shut down one of your favorite hunting grounds. The place I usually go to has closed two out its three locations this year. 

I haven't posted any score's recently in this thread so here we go...

In February I picked up a Birthday cake from my wife:








My Famicom Twin finally arrived:



I was able to pick up some more NES games as well as two games I had been trying to find (Battle Kid 2 and Sonic Blast Man2):



I walked in to Half Price Books with the intention of selling some books... walked out with some games for $1.50 each (Prototype 2 was the exception at $14.00)

I'll take the Pokemon strats. I need to replace my copy of Ranger - both are fairly well damaged.

Stopped by the Friends of the Library sale here in Orange County. I'll post up the pics later, but came in under $30. Picked up the Chromehounds and Secret Codes for Consoles & Handhelds 2007 guides for < $2, and picked up a few game-related books. Also found a few classics I'll send tech's way, now that he's reading something other than Tolkien.

My wife also picked up some envelopes, and since she's out of work right now, I'll start bugging her to ship out some things I've been putting off since someone can finally get to an open post office.

So jealous of that Zelda DS Techie.  I'm still looking for that one and a decent priced Zelda 3DS system.  It makes me wonder if they will do another bundle with Link to the Past 2 this fall.

Greetings from Terra,

Did a little yard sale-hopping and thrifting over the last couple days. Didn't come up with a whole lotta stuff vidya-wise, but I think I made out all right.



- Atlantis cart for Atari 2600, $4.99: Not sure what possessed me to buy this; usually I'm too cheap to buy 2600 carts at even half the asking price for this.

Cased Sega game carts, $1.99 each:

- CIB Madden Football '92, SGen

- Crystal's Pony Tale (No manual), SGen: Now who should I offer this to, the Narutoman... or Shobrony? Ah screw it, I'll keep it for myself. Sorry, guys, but I'm givin' you both the shaft. Actually, I take that back-- I'm not the least bit sorry.

- Vigilante (No manual), SMS

- PlayStation case with Intec PS2 game screen accessory set, $20: It dawned on me a few moments after I bought this that I own a slim PS2, not the standard-size one that the screen accessory fits on. Oh well, at least I got the following strats thrown in at no extra charge (originally $0.25 each):

- Prima Star Wars Battlefront II

- Prima Medal of Honor European Assault

- Prima Battlefield Bad Company

- Piggyback SOCOM 3 U.S. Navy SEALs

- Electronic Battleship, $2


Topping things off was this non-gaming haul:



A nice stack of James Bond 007 fan club magazines, movie and event programs, and other memorabilia, including publications in Japanese, German, and French. I found the most interesting piece to be the menu for The Living Daylights premiere party. Most everything is in very good to excellent condition, too.

Contributin'!





Value Village paid off decently.  Lotsa good sealed stuff.  Both GBA games are sealed, Both PS2 games, and the PS2 controller are sealed.  I don't even collect Game Boy stuff, it just keeps falling in my lap.

iridion 3D seemed fun, i played a few minutes of it. it can get disorienting though.

[Fleach]

^ I used to have Iridion. It was a fun space shooter.

I find that funny because a pony page on Facebook actually did post about that game once XD.
