The Small Scores Thread: Part 2!

[mumboking]

In a charity shop:
Grand Theft Auto (PC) £1

In Cash Converters:
XBOX with Controller S and cables £12.50
Atari Anthology (XBOX) £1
Colin McRae Rally 04 (XBOX classics) £1
TD Overdrive (XBOX) £1

The XBOX looks like it's been opened before, both stickers that covered screws are missing.
It doesn't appear softmodded.

This stuff gets addicting...

Just a little bit!  I picked up these bad boys today at my local retro game store.

I played Seicross for about 2 minutes and decided it was the worst game for NES I've ever played.  If I bought this new in 1986 i'd be furious.

Didn't do to bad at Goodwill.

Pick up at the swap-meet today, had to pass up a minty complete Genesis 3 because of brokeness.  Any one interested in any of the NES games?  =]

Picked up Contra III today for $15.99. 

I'm getting pretty close to drawing my SNES collecting to a close .  Pocky and Rocky and Castlevania Dracula X are now the last titles I need that immediately come to mind.

A Dracula X just showed up at my local store.  It has a BAD tear on the front label but if you don't mind that, I'm sure the price will be good if you want me to check for you.

[Shadow Kisuragi]

I have a CIB Pocky & Rocky that's fairly beat up...also, FYI, that's the Majesco version of Contra III if you care.

3 more down...

$10, but I need the manual for Lost Vikings.

wildbil52 - Hmmm... in the past, I've bought carts with bad tears and then find myself wanting to pick up a nicer one.  If it's less than $40 I'm interested but I can't imagine seeing one that cheap.  Thank you for offering to look, I can send monies any time.

Shadow Kisuragi - I noticed it was the Majesco one, that isn't too important to me.  If I found an original release copy then I would trade up to it and sell this one.  Let me know what Pocky and Rocky is worth to you or if you'd like to trade for any of the PS1/PS2/SNES stuff I recently picked up;  I have a complete list.

I am SOO envious of you guys scoring these things! Is there anyone in Northern Virginia, that can give me a heads up to how to get started with flea markets and yard sales? I love to sleep in until 10:30, but I would wake up if I could score some games for a few bucks!

Phillyman, check out episode 3 of the Collectorcast. We talk all about hunting locally.

And to not underestimate the power of the dumpster.

i had no idea dracula x was as expensive or rare as it was, i found my loose copy in great condition for $4 at a thrift store. looking on ebay i see 3 in similar condition that sold at auction for $100+, and a BIN at $60

[Slowman]

I've found some great stuff at thrift stores ($2.99 Super Mario RPG is probably my best so far) but my luck has not been Dracula X-level generous.
