The Small Scores Thread: Part 2!

[Duke.Togo]

Well thank you very much, sir! I'll also be sure to give Crabby some mighty thanks as well.

Boxed Blackjack? Very nice. I hope the label on it is good. So many of those AVE ones go bad.

That C64 lot is really nice. All of that for $15 is great.

I've been wondering where your posts were. I missed the old garage sale find blog posts you used to do with your running totals for the year.

Very nice GameCube lot for $10!  Oh, and just to report back, the Xbox 360 that I picked up for free works!  Well I don't have a 360 controller to try out games, but I threw a couple of Xbox original games in it, and they loaded right up! Anyone in need of a 360?

I think I've bought everything around here. Nearly every garage sale I stop at anymore is one I've been to already. And if I get lucky enough to stop at a sale with decent stuff, its priced high. This is literally the only stuff I've bought in months. And it certainly doesn't help I can't go saling on Fridays like I used to do.  

And I forgot to mention about that C64 lot, I really have no interest in it. If anyone wants to make me an offer on it all, I'd certainly consider selling, but I'm afraid shipping is going to cost more than what anyone would want to pay for it all.

I'd love to make an offer, but like you said, shipping would be hellish.

Pm on the 360 sent.

I had this week off work and was all excited to do some Friday garage saleing. Friday is the best day for finding stuff. We went to sale after sale and found nothing for games. It was super dry. Bummer 

We ended up at our favorite thrift store and found about half of this. Nothing here is real exciting except for the Laser Disc player for $3! Now I just need to get some Laser Disc's....why do I think Bil is going to comment on this?

Two of those games are PAL (FIFA and Far Gate), I think, Lemmings Paintball I got because it is so weird sounding. The rest of the games I got at the last sale we went to when we went out again on Saturday. Some of them don't have manuals, the one without a spine has both PGR and Max Payne 2 in it.





Because we bought books and stuff along with this I'm not sure exactly how much it all cost. A little less than $25 I think. Lollipop Chainsaw was marked at $5. The stack on the right from Lollipop to about Red Ninja is stuff you can trade me for as I'm not much into horror or gore.

Oh yeah, I received an extra $2 this week as a surprise! So it was more like a little less than $23   

[GrayGhost81]

Both from Goozex and both in like-new condition thankfully:

[A8scooter]

These 3 for $5.00 starts my nes collection.



Got a classic football hand held by Mattel for 5.00 but it ended being a 2000 issue. I feel taken on that .

Did some trades and sold a few things and picked these up at the NAVA show ($1.25ea)

[Techie413]

I've been very busy over the last few weeks with the change in jobs, so I haven't posted much.  That's not to say the hunt has not been ongoing.  I picked up a HUGE lot from a collector buddy in town, but I'm not quite ready to post that yet since I am still sorting.  I also have made minimal progress with the Play N Trade inventory since last post, although fellow members have received their packages from what I have sorted through thus far.  But...

As it should be, my first pic is of the items I grabbed from a member, GamerNick:



Random manuals and cases, along with Myst and the PS1 titles you see.  I haven't been hit by the "But it's not the black label version" bug yet.

Thrift and game store pick-ups:


Super Valis IV was $10, ME3 and Ju-On came from Gamestop, and the CD-i titles from eBay.

And the other day a guy posted a CL add for two tubs of games that he has had stored for years for $50. 



It's over $600 in titles and systems:



The Sega CD isn't working.  I haven't opened it up yet, but it could be power issue. I may sell or trade it away with the working Genesis and controllers.  The Saturn 3D controller, Dreamcast console and controller, and Game Gear are FS/FT.  The Game Gear is in nice condition, good video but no sound, headphone jack works great.



Notables:
UN Squadron, DK Country 1 & 3 (was also a #2, but traded to friend), Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, Battletoads/Double Dragon, Castlevania IV is rough condition, Castlevania Legacy of Darkness, Truxton for Genesis, and the two Tiger handhelds.  There was also a Mario All-Stars that I traded away.



Notables:
Kingdom Hearts, .hack Infection, Shadow of Colossus, Monster Rancher 2



Notables:
Flink, Phantasy Star Online, Gundam Side Story, Soul Calibur (loose copy now FS/FT)



Notables:
Mega Man X3 for PC, UT GOTY (I finally have an original copy), the DS titles are IB only, Pokemon Gold, Boktai



Notables:
RE3, Mega Man X4, MK Mythologies

AND THESE ARE ALL FS/FT:



Notables:
Sonic CD loose, Shenmue, MK Gold, Street of Rage 2 loose, eReader

  Damn Techie that's a great CL score.

That's karma man!

[Duke.Togo]

That is really crazy Techie. Fantastic find. If you're ever looking for someone to play ME3 multiplayer with, hit me up.

[Fokakis79]

@techie: wow that is a really great score.

Here is the stuff I have gotten over the week one package was from my sister which was the psp, with games, and the N64 games w/ manuals. Can anyone guess what I had to pay her?

I did have have an ebay score this week, which was a CB Contra for 30 bucks, the box is a little worn at the top but doesn't look too awful, I would say it was worth the 30 bucks for Contra and the Box.

[Fokakis79]

here is the other score I got which was from Techie.

[smith45885]

Just snagged a NES with SMB, SMB3, Dragon Warrior, Double DRagon II, Legendary Wings, and Tecmo Bowl at an auction for $27.50.  Everything is super clean.

Also got an Xbox with about 6 sports games for $20.

[Fragems]

Spent $68.5 today. Most of it came from the stall of one of the few flea market resellers I actually respect in the area. His stall is pretty messy though so it took a good hour and a half and I'm sure there is still plenty I haven't seen really need to ask him if he minds helping clean up his stall one day just so I can go through and see everything. Was thinking about doing it today but was afraid I might offend him probably will offer after a few more sales when he gets to know me a little better . Coolest find was probably Clock Tower with the manual it was buried under a bunch of cd cases in a shoebox at the back of one of his messier tables sadly I couldn't find the case .
