The Small Scores Thread: Part 4!

[Sauza12]

Hey, I got some more stuff!

[img width=525 height=640]http://i59.tinypic.com/351yhli.jpg[/img]

I got some more cheap cast offs from Amazon.  I'm not real proud of these, but I'll buy pretty much anything for $1.

[img width=602 height=639]http://i59.tinypic.com/t88zfq.jpg[/img]

These are things I got from various big box stores.  Dragon's Age was $9 and Mario Party was $25 both from Best Buy.  Skylanders was $5 from Five Below.

I got this stuff from Gamestop and Disc Replay.  The NES games were free after I traded in some extra DVDs I had lying around.  The strategy guides were bought during that half off all guides thing that Gamestop did a few weeks ago.

Finally garage sales paid off for me.  Everything here was $1-3.  There isn't a lot of must have titles here, but in the interest of complete collections, it's hard to beat games at that price.

Finally all of the things I found at thrifts.  They were pretty good to me.  It's weird how you can go without finding any big box games for weeks, but then you find a ton at the same time.  I found all of those from three or four different thrifts in a 3 day period.  Other than that, the Viva Pinata Special Edition was a pretty nice score.  It's still sealed and since it's on Rare Replay, I can leave it like that.

Until next time!

I picked this up the other day from GameStop, and I have no idea why, considering the PSP Version sucked so bad. As for this one, the Gameplay isn't all bad, but it shoves so much story down your throat right at the start that you have a hard time following it. Interestingly enough, while being used, the FF 15 Demo Code still worked. Also, the case is in rough shape, but the game disc is flawless.

Found this in a charity shop today. It was being priced up as I went in.
I already had it, but for £3, I thought I may as well get it again. It's missing the Spanish, Italian and Dutch manual though.

I almost bought Metal Gear Solid for the PS1 too... but £2.50 with no manual and rather scuffed discs? No thanks.

Fantastic finds, Crabby!  Kind of jealous of that Tron Bonne CIB score!

Nice find on that PSP, Redd - love me some PSP!

Duke.Togo - jealous of that TMNT find.  I have the game itself, but the label is so bad.  Box and manual I'm sure are a premium most anywhere.

Nice find on that PSP, Redd - love me some PSP!

At least someone does. I can think of only one person besides myself who actually uses a PSP for PSP Games, as opposed to solely using emulators on it.

I own a PSP. My version just has terrible volume.

I own a PSP. My version just has terrible volume.

I own a PSP too. Mine has a non functional power switch. Whilst trying to fix it, I'm pretty sure I caused a stuck blue pixel.
I don't think the propellant from a compressed air can spraying on the screen helped either.

Hey now,

A few Labor Day Goodwill pickups:


[img width=700 height=511]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/score%209-7-2015a_zpsekgzk0mp.jpg[/img]

- Glacier GBA with Donald Duck Goin' Quackers GBC cart and Golden Sun GBA cart, 28.97 $18.83

- CIB Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's TagForce 4 for PSP $3.99 $2.99

- Krazy Ivan longbox (no manual) for PS1, $5.99 $3.89

- CIB Gex: Enter the Gecko for PS1, $3.59 $2.33

- Hexen N64 cart, $3.99 $2.99


Aaaand for around $19.00 I picked up the following loose former-rental Sega Genesis/Mega Drive carts:


[img width=578 height=550]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/score%209-7-2015b_zpsezbdhyiv.jpg[/img]

- Sword of Vermilion

- Fatal Labyrinth

- Gauntlet IV

- Starflight

- Game Genie

- The Faery Tale Adventure

- Traysia

- Japanese Phantasy Star III

- Phantasy Star IV

- Kid Chameleon

Oddly enough, a gentleman had beaten me to these carts, but ultimately decided to pass on 'em... the fool. I almost felt sorry for the guy... almost.


Topping things off: a couple non-vidya grabs...

[img width=700 height=518]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/score%209-7-2015c_zps2qo4syg4.jpg[/img]


- Nerf Zombie Strike FlipFury blaster, $3.49 $2.62: Aside from being loose, this bad boy's practically brandy new. Pretty good grab considering they sell new for a double-sawbuck.

- CIB Saitek Mephisto Advanced travel chess computer, $3.49 $2.27: nobody tell Norv about this one, 'cuz he's sure to sh*t a brick if he finds out. Or at least utter "zoinks!" in his best Casey Kasem impression.


Until next time...

@mumboking: That's Mega Drive CD looks awesome!

@Norch: Phantasy Star IV is really good. If you like that style of game give it a go before you sell it off.

I'm clearing out a bit of my for sale stuff to OTC Video Games, and those funds are what spurred me to go out and get a Bloodborne machine today.

@Duke.Togo: Congrats on the Bloodborne machine!

@Zag: PM Sent.

At least someone does. I can think of only one person besides myself who actually uses a PSP for PSP Games, as opposed to solely using emulators on it.

I do that as well, but something that a lot of PSP owners may not be aware of is an app called "ISO_TOOL".  When you have the UMD, you can use that to rip the game directly to your memory stick in either ISO or CSO (compressed) format.  Then you can save your UMD drive (since they tend to fail after a lot of use) and just play the games from the memory stick, which is faster anyway.  It was a powerful system ahead of its time, and with the additional functionality you get from loading up custom firmware, it's pretty much the best handheld system ever.

Nice pickups, Zag!  Gotta love seeing stuff like Crazy Ivan.  The early PlayStation long-box library was a big buffet of weird, wasn't it?

Thanks Amazon.

That makes me sad.

[Zagnorch]

Thanks Amazon.

They didn't bother to box it? Just stuffed it in a padded envelope?

[SirPsycho]

Yep.
