The Small Scores Thread: Part 3!

[Zagnorch]

Greetings from Terra,

You wanna see why the Goodwill near my workplace is the coolest Goodwill ever?

Well too bad, I'm gonna show you anyway.

- PS3 with two wireless controllers, USB controller cables, and power cord, $49.99: YES! I'M FULLY IN THE MODERN AGE OF CONSOLE GAMING NOW! And right under the wire, too!

UPDATE: got the bad boy up and running, and it's working pretty well so far...

I also got the following CIB XBox titles for $4.89 each:

- Stubbs the Zombie: i've heard about this one on the forums, and now I can finally see what the fuss is all about.

- Elders Scrolls III: Morrowind Game of the Year Edition

- Thief: Deadly Shadows

- Gun Valkyrie


Then there's the pink DS Lite with carry handbag and the following games for $14.99:

- Dr. Sudoku

- Ratatouille

- Nintendogs: Lab & Friends

- Nintendogs: Dalmatian & Friends

- Nintendogs: Chihuahua and Friends

- Imagine: Babysitters

- My Baby Girl

I'm sure the Narutoman will just dearly love the handbag carry case...

Oh yeah, I also hit the Savers and picked up 11 mostly off-condition back issues of GameInformer and Archie Mega Man #12 comic for $0.29 each.


Aaand finally:

- XBox #65 demo disc, $0.99

- Two Turbo Touch 360 Genesis controllers, $3.99 each


Now I'm sure some of you are crushed that I haven't included any Nerf gun scores here. I do have a Nerf non-score I found at the nearest Toys R Us, however:

Oh, to be a kid again...

[engel762]

Huzzah for Stubbs the Zombie!  I'm still hunting that one down.

Got a little something something in the mail from InvadErGII today...

Now to hunt down a reasonably priced box...

[noiseredux]

saw a yard sale on the way to the grocery store and got a sweet SNES cart lot:

Bonkers
Donkey Kong Country
Frogger
Jeopardy
Mario Paint
Mario's Early Years Fun With Numbers
NBA Jam
Out of This World
Super Castlevania IV
Super Empire Strikes Back
Super Mario World
Super X-Men Acrade's Revenge
Turtles in Time

= $10

[GrayGhost81]

Damn Noise, that's a sweet deal. You really got some heavy hitters there!

[noiseredux]

yeah I seriously was floored to find Castlevania IV at a yard sale. Amazing. And Turtles in Time?!

Some of the others my wife wants to hang on to, and then a few will prob end up on my trade thread. But honestly just those two I mentioned would have been an amazing find for $10.

[jansolee66]

I really committed to going to yard sales today, and while the pickings were mostly slim, I did eventually find a couple things. Most of what I found was Wii stuff and despite not actually owning a Wii, I just can't pass up any non-sports game listed at less that $3 (plus, after coming up empty, so much, I had an itchy trigger finger). Here's what I got for about $30 (I know nothing about Wii games prices, etc.):

I honestly don't know much about any of these games, but I'm hoping that I got a couple decent ones (obviously, I'm familiar with Metroid and Final Fantasy as series, but I don't know these particular games well, at all).

One garage sale and a craiglists ad made my day.

^Always wanted a Nomad and Fighting Vipers how I adore the cheese of that game.

I don't care what anyone says CVIV is the best in the series and IMO series was at it's best before Metroidvania(I enjoy those as well but not nearly as much) Why I liked LoS..felt like CVIV in a way..oh and Agora Falls is the tune from CVIV....sorry just love love love CVIV

Here's what I've gotten over the last 3 weeks since I last posted anything on this thread:



[img width=450 height=800]http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5332/9533360231_2cbca0cfe7_c.jpg[/img]

After finding the behind-the-scenes "Making Of" tape, I weirdly find this one, the actual concert tape, a couple of months later at Goodwill.  And yeah, it's cheesier than you'd think, but that's why I love this kinda stuff.      $1.00



[img width=700 height=393]http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5334/9533360511_97fa94029c_c.jpg[/img]

These I found on eBay, in various auctions/BIN's.  All boxes are in okay to decent shape, while the games and everything else are in really good to near mint.  They are all CIB except Pac-Mania, but the cart is coming, also from eBay.  This leaves me with only 3 Tengen games left to complete the subset: Toobin', Afterburner, and Fantasy Zone.  Total is a bit pricey, but to me was worth it to get me that much closer to completing that subset, and adding some CIB stuff that my collection is lacking.    Total of $117.45



[img width=700 height=393]http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7362/9536147130_d5d1f4c72c_c.jpg[/img]

The Star Trek: Klingon came from Salvation Army and is CIB.  I haven't even attempted to play it yet, because according to the instructions, you have to know virtually everything about Klingon culture and language up to the point the game was made (1995, IIRC), because you're basically playing a Klingon simulator that doesn't use any human language whatsoever, and assumes that you know things like Klingon body language.  At least for now, that's a bit much to delve into to just play a single game, so, yeah...    $3.00

The Atari 2600/7800 games are also from eBay except for the Football cart, and arrived the same day I got the Star Trek game.  All are in excellent condition, and not pictured is a CIB copy of Karateka for the 7800 that's packed and ready to go to someone else.    $28.83



[img width=700 height=393]http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2877/9533360343_23a10dbd97_c.jpg[/img]

Grabbed the Nintendo-branded Miracle Piano manual off of eBay, leaving me only the cable left to get in order to complete the "conversion kit" needed to play it on a NES.  I spent a bit more than I would have liked, but considering how often you run into these things period, much less by themselves, I figured it was probably my best chance at getting one.    $29.99

The Sim City 2000 manual was also purchased with the Star Trek: Klingon game, and is in near-mint shape.  I don't have an actual copy, but do have a downloaded version that came off of an old PC years ago.    $.50

Finally, the Quickshot Command Pad was purchased along with the TMNT video, and looks to be in great shape.  I don't have any way to test it yet, as my current PC doesn't have a 15-pin game port, nor do I have a converter, so I don't know if it actually works yet or not.  $3.00

[Sirgin]

I bought a Wii Classic controller pro, new, for €20. I tried it on The Last Story and it makes the game much more pleasant.

Also, it seems like my flea market has dried up. I went there today and there was no one selling games! Two years ago there usually were 10+ people. Today there was only one old lady who had a handful of crappy sports games for sale.

[wildbil52]

I've had a pending trade with bickman for a while.  We both kind of put it on the back burner for a while but we recently closed the deal and I added a black box game.  6 left

He also threw in a bunch of awesome Nintendo stuff cause he's awesome.

Grabbed this off ebay to complete my copy.  Looks way better in person than it did on ebay so that's a bonus.
[img width=700 height=525]http://i.imgur.com/r5E7cBy.jpg[/img]

And these are from the flea market today.  Rygar SFII, and X-Men are now complete.  Balloon Fight, Mario Bros, Ghosts n Goblins, and MT Punch Out will all be on my sale/trade later today.

[Duke.Togo]

@bsr241: That is a couple of great lots, especially the Saturn stuff and the Nomad in there.

@Bil: Seems like the flea market is treating you kindly. I just don't see Balloon Fight that often anymore.

[jansolee66]

Damn, ever since I acquired a camera, I've felt obligated to go out hunting. This is my haul today from my trip to the flea market:

I've continued my quest to at least get clamshells for every Master System/Genesis game I own. These 3 are actually all complete. The reason that "FZ: The Maze" is in terrible shape is that I hate the game but my ADHD says I need it (I own the other FZ games), so I don't care if it's a little rough. The Miracle Warriors game is in better shape and actually includes a beautiful map with it. The Alex Kidd game is minty fresh. I traded a bunch of terrible loose Master System carts to upgrade these (I'd've taken $0.75 a cart on average for them and I got 1.50), so I paid about $10 for my upgrade

[img width=700 height=525]http://i1347.photobucket.com/albums/p717/jansolee66/001_zps2c9f87c1.jpg[/img]

I also received a package in the mail after almost a full month from when I acquired it. I didn't get a deal on these, at all. They were a stress purchase after a long day at work. I'm excited to add both of these to my collection; "Arkista's Ring" because I've never known anyone who had it or was familiar with it and "Kid Icarus" for the exact opposite reason (seems everyone owns it except for me).

[img width=700 height=525]http://i1347.photobucket.com/albums/p717/jansolee66/002_zps5b2b562e.jpg[/img]

[BadEnoughDude]

Arkista's Ring is a ton of fun. Really enjoyed playing that one.

[Fokakis79]

Picked up a Sealed Copy of Moonsweeper for the Atari 2600 for about 10 bucks.
