The Small Scores Thread: Part 2!

[Crazy_Opossum]

Great shirt!

[Cryptid Collector]

I found one of these fore $2, and it still has all the card sheets in it.

Went to our favorite thrift store today while running some errands. The first errand was at Staples where I found, amongst the 50,000 Games! and solitaire compilations, two Star Wars games. Every other game was $9.99 but the Star Wars games were marked at $2.10, and it was buy one get one free. So, total cost for two brand new games $2.10    The guy who rung us up was a little disappointed because he had been planning on buying them and I was getting the last two.

The rest of this is from the thrift store. I don't know for sure what it cost because we also got a few books and a board game. Total price was less than $6. Sometimes I wonder if they ring stuff up accurately there...it was half off everything, but the xbox controller alone should have been $2.50. Oh well, I donated a $1 too so I guess it works out.

Was that controller only released with the Halo Edition xbox? Or could you buy it separately?

I think we've bought 4 vinyl records in the last 10 years, two of them have been Jackson Browne. What does that say? The guy at the counter thought it was a pretty cool find anyways....

I got to go down to Tampa Bay again over the weekend and picked up a few things at the Oldsmar Flea Market and a pawn shop over in Dunedin.  The Super Mario 2 cards were from the flea market and has all 33 tip cards and a bunch of doubles.  50 cards in all for $8.  The rest of the stuff came from the pawn shop.  I saw the Genesis games hiding in the back under a counter and asked to see them.  I was excited to see a Shinobi, but unfortunately the Spider man: Separation Anxiety was inside the case.  That's a Spiderman game I haven't seen so I hope it's fun.  I asked to see the pokemon white game and it was labeled $20 so I told the guy I didn't have that much.  He asked how much I had in my pocket and I told him $16.  So he sold me everything there for $16.  Real nice guy, definitely willing to make deals.  I will be stopping by again next time I am in the area.

Forgot to post my Sunday flea market finds!

[img width=640 height=480]http://i.imgur.com/kKCYr0Bl.jpg[/img]

GB Player Startup Disc: $10
Gotcha Force, Extreme-G 3, Boomer's Adventure in Asmik World, Yoshi's Cookie, Mario Tennis: $10
Kirby and the Amazing Mirror, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Mega Man & Bass: $22

Gotcha Force and Fire Emblem in one weekend, my GameCube collection just went up in value a good bit! Turned out I already had Kirby, somehow missed listing it in my collection... and in my massive spreadsheet of yard sale finds. I have no idea where my copy came from I guess!

Sweet. We should totally do that.

Love the shirt retrorage!  Also nice pick ups everyone! 

[Fokakis79]

Nice Pick Ups everyone, I am feeling so dry, Haven't got pickups In about month except for some ebay stuff. Getting married is awesome fun, but not to my time and wallet.

Hopefully I can get back on the wagon when everything slows down after my wedding.

Although I guess I will have a pretty sweet score in about a week 

[Zagnorch]

Hey now,

So this afternoon i was minding my own business sittin on the computer in my underwear, when i hear a knock on the door.  I say "who could that be?"  I open the door, look down and see a nice package from the lovable Zagnorch.  Included in the package was a letter of his wellwishes on my upcoming nuptials, and this t-shirt.  Thanks buddy.

Cool, it got to you. I hope the perlers I threw in also survived the journey...

Anyway, I guess it's time for me to reveal my Saturday garage sale & thrift finds:

- Black slim PS2 with two 8 MB memory cards, two controllers, manual, AV hookup, and CIB Peter Jackson's King Kong and Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal (Player's Choice) games, $5.00: still haven't checked to see if it works or not. But even if it doesn't, the other stuff makes it totally worth it.

- Indigo GameCube with hookups, $4.00: The release button needs a little work.

- PlayStation Move Sharpshooter rifle accessory, $4.00

- Assortment of 20 McDonald's LCD handheld games, $7.50: includes Shadow the Hedgehog making goals in hockey, Knuckles acting as a soccer goalie, and Michael Vick throwing passes for you to catch downfield, among other shenanigans. Most of these actually present very little challenge, except to aim for a perfect score.


Then there was my big non-gaming haul:

Two filing boxes of Legos for $10.00. I bought this from the same place I got the PS2 slim. I paid for just one box, and was about to leave when the yard sale hostess said, "Hey wait, I think I have another box of those-- oh, here they are! Here you go, no extra charge."

I responded with, "Ummm... are you sure?"

Anyhoo: these two boxes have parts from just about every kind of lego set you can think of. There's lots of Star Wars ones, some from Batman, a few from Bionicle, and several from Lego City. Heck, it even had some airplane-looking components I can use to reenact the crash sites on those Air Crash Investigation shows I'm addicted to.

Oh yeah, then there's the usual:

- TI-82 calculator: I'm in the process of giving this a good home.

And not a moment too soon, 'cuz it's already filed a restraining order against me.

[img width=312 height=627]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/TI82a_zps6b4253f7.jpg[/img]


- Nerf Maverick dart blaster, $0.79

- Assorted loose G.I. Joes and carded BattleCorps Mutt/Junkyard & Outback action figures, $10

- $20 bill I found on the sidewalk


I'll have a few scores to show off tomorrow following my thrift run.



'Late

[Zagnorch]

Nice Pick Ups everyone, I am feeling so dry, Haven't got pickups In about month except for some ebay stuff. Getting married is awesome fun, but not to my time and wallet.

Aw goddammit, not another one.

What is it with you guys, anyway? You have some sort of lifetime-of-misery fetish?

Hopefully I can get back on the wagon when everything slows down after my wedding. Although I guess I will have a pretty sweet score in about a week 

Sorry, but I'm afraid it's...

It was nice knowing you.

Oh God, I miss you already... I'm getting all misty and everything...

[GamerNick]

Hey everyone! Got a package from Wildbil yesterday.  Thanks again Bil for the trade!  Hope you enjoy yours as well once it gets to you.

So we did a trade I got a better box for my Winter Games on NES and another army men to scratch off the list - Army Men Sarge's Heroes on Dreamcast!
