Title: My BIGGEST pickup EVER! Post by: Mezmoron on May 20, 2006, 07:46:00 PM This had to get it's own thread.  This is my BEST pickup of all time.  I'll not waste anymore time and continue on to the goodies!
To start the day, I went to a few (50 or so) yard sales.  Here's what I got.... Madden 2002 - Gameboy Color Altered Beast - Genesis Greatest Heavyweights - Genesis NBA Jam - Genesis Tony Lasorda's Baseball - Genesis Streets of Rage 3 - Genesis Complete Bulls v. Lakers and the NBA Playoffs - Genesis Complete John Madden Football 1993 - Genesis Complete (www.geocities.com/mezmoron1/yardgen.jpg) NBA Ballerz - XBox Complete WWF Raw - XBox Complete ESPN 2K5 - XBox Complete Legends of Wrestling 2 - XBox Complete (www.geocities.com/mezmoron1/xbox.jpg) Disney's Party - Gamecube Complete Namco Museum - Gamecube Complete (www.geocities.com/mezmoron1/cube.jpg) Freedom Fighters - Odyssey 2 Attack of the Timelord - Odyssey 2 Blackjack - Odyssey 2 Alien Invaders Plus - Odyssey 2 (Box only) Speedway/Spin-out/Cryptologic - Odyssey 2 (box only) Math-a-Magic - Odyssey 2 (Complete in box!) Football - Odyssey 2 (Complete in box!) (www.geocities.com/mezmoron1/odyssey.jpg) Playstation Racing Wheel Complete in box (www.geocities.com/mezmoron1/wheel.jpg) When I got home, I checked the mail, and there were some more things I had traded for on the DP boards! Adventures of Lolo 3 - NES Cyberball - NES Nightmare on Elm Street - NES (www.geocities.com/mezmoron1/3nes.jpg) Mario and Luigi Partners in Time - DS Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow - DS Mario 64 DS - DS Warioware Touched - DS (www.geocities.com/mezmoron1/ds.jpg) Then I convinced Courtney to go out to the pawn shops about an hour away.  I honestly bought NOTHING from ANY of them.  However, when we were driving by, I picked up a loose Genesis game at a Goodwill for $.99.  Budokan - Genesis (www.geocities.com/mezmoron1/mk3.jpg) Then we decided to go to a flea market that is about another 30 minutes out.  Again, we found nothing there. After that, we started driving and found a random video store.  Courtney jokingly said "Want to go in?"  Of course I wanted to go in, so we did.  Well, THIS is where the REAL fun began.  This is what I found at this store. NBA Live 97 - Genesis Complete (2 copies) Jammit - Genesis Complete NFL Quarterback Club - Genesis Complete Wrestlemania the Arcade Game - Genesis Complete Double Dribble the Playoff Edition - Genesis Complete LaRussa Baseball - Genesis Complete Jeopardy Sports Edition - Genesis Complete Madden 97 - Genesis Complete College Slam - Genesis Complete Madden 95 - Genesis Complete NBA Showdown 94 - Genesis Complete Sportstalk Football 93 Montana - Genesis Complete NCAA Football - Genesis Complete Tecmo Super Hockey - Genesis Complete (www.geocities.com/mezmoron1/gen.jpg) After I got these games, I would have been completely satisfied going home and playing some good games.  But no.  It didn't happen that way.  The lady that was running the video store mentioned that she had a small collection of her own.  Mostly regular NES games.  She happened to mention that she got them all from this one guy she knows through her husband.  He appartently goes to flea markets and yard sales because he knows people will buy them from him.  Well, after asking her to call him for me a few times.  She did, and here's what I lucked into! Mortal Kombat 3 - Genesis Complete Earthbound - SNES Secret of Mana - SNES Kirby Super Stars - SNES (2 copies) (www.geocities.com/mezmoron1/snes.jpg) Rainbow Islands - NES Blue Marlin - NES Contra - NES Contra Force - NES Mike Tyson's Punchout - NES Adventure Island 3 - NES Ninja Gaiden 3 - NES Turtles 3 - NES Ice Climber - NES Godzilla 2 - NES Mighty Bomb Jack - NES Maniac Mansion - NES (www.geocities.com/mezmoron1/12nes.jpg) Not too bad, huh?!  Here's the damage, not counting the mail stuff...$114.80!!!  Yay for gaming! On a side note, here's a funny thing we stopped to see today.  Someone MOVED a 3 story house.  It's on the "House Jack" in this picture.  Pretty wild, eh?

Ken Title: Re: My BIGGEST pickup EVER! Post by: den68 on May 22, 2006, 08:18:19 AM ah missed that comment. I see it now between the racing wheel and NES carts pics.
Title: Re: My BIGGEST pickup EVER! Post by: Sauza12 on May 23, 2006, 05:39:17 AM Apparently those racing wheels are quickly falling out of favor. I've found two in as many weeks for $5 a piece.
Nice haul, especially those SNES games! |
