The Small Scores Thread: Part 3!

[zcrich01]

I had what may be my greatest find of all-time. 62 games, including 9-10 CIB SNES games and 4 high-dollar Genesis games for $100. The CIB SNES titles include Captain Commando, Final Fight 2, and Super Turrican 2, among others. The Genesis CIB games were Mega Turrican, Battletoads Double Dragon, Captain America, and Contra Harp Corps...also included several SNES and NES games with their manuals.

Also got a couple of tabletop RPG sets, one for Shatterzone and one for D&D....as well as a super scope.

Oh and Symphony of the Night (black label) and its strategy guide.

Best. find. ever.

Awesome!  From Craigslist?

Yup. I've been randomly checking the garage sale postings (despite the fact that it's less than freezing here right now) for moving sale ads. I saw one that said "monster moving sale" with a picture of a drill. I clicked on it and saw a bunch of old consoles...Called the guy and found out he had games "for cheap." Went over and had my run of the litter. Twice actually. I bought $50 worth of stuff, went home, logged it, and then called him and went back to get more.

The funny thing is that I initially offered him $100 for the first lot of stuff (which included the SNES/Genesis/most of the NES games), and he said he only wanted $50 for it.

Good haul from Goodwill today, all complete and $2.39 each for a total of $11.95.

I didn't even know that Dragon Quest game existed.

It's a spin-off, some kind of motion-controlled sword-fighting game.

I just realized in the lot I mentioned earlier, I got a 5 screw factory mismatch Metal Gear. Anyone know what that sort of thing is worth? I'm not much of a variant collector.

Well, Metal Gear isn't a rare game in the first place(R1, I believe) so I can't imagine even a misprint of it would be super valuable.

here are my pickups, I know most of them are not Video Game related.

I got the Princess of Power Crystal Castle which is not complete at all. I has the two halves of the castle and the elevator works, no accessories though. I got it for 4.00. Going to try and trade this locally, if I can.

Pretty cool, Donkey Kong Jenga, it seems that this version is closer to actually being a game than the original Jenga.

PS1 Long Boxes are the coolest, don't run across these too often in the wilds.

DND 3.5e Player's Handbook and some 4e Power Cards, this is my other hobby beside video games, so I love finding this stuff.

Well surprisingly, I've already had offers from guys on NA. It's worth a lot more than I anticipated when I picked it up for the manual and map apparently.

You might be surprised. I'd recommend posting over on Nintendo Age.

Edit: Nevermind, it looks like you figured it out.

It never ceases to amaze me how the most random things can be valuable.

We bought Captain Toad for Christmas.  And I still haven't had a chance to play it.   My son has played it and likes it.

We bought Captain Toad for our son for Christmas as well, he plays it religiously, almost as much as minecraft. My biggest issue is that it was a two hour game to beat. It had an extra mode if you have Super Mario 3D World save data on the same system, but still too short. I have heard that Kirby and Yoshi are also going to be super short.
