the small score's thread

Holy goodness!  I got that Carmen Sandiego SNES game shortly after it came out for a baby tooth that I had a particularly difficult time with.  I could never get anywhere in that game...I ended up selling it before I started collecting.  As a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure I still have the pack-in dictionary/encyclopedia somewhere.

I found a Leap Frog Leapster yesterday. It's an educational handheld system. These things are pretty new, I was surprised to see one in a thrift. I only paid $7 bucks for it. It's got a few minor scratches but functions perfectly. It had one cart with it, LEarning with LEap.

My daughter played with it for about 2 hours last night. I'll have to go out and see about getting some more carts.

Meijer carries those things and has quite a big selection of games for them.  Nice find.

a friend of mine won an Xbox 360 from Mt. Dew.  They also sent him several t-shirts and ball caps.  I got one of each from him.  The hat is pretty cool, plus it's free.

A guy at my brothers work has won for of them. I just found out he cheated to do it. I guess there was a program you could use to enter 1,00's of codes in minutes. What an ass hole.

[tarheelsnipe]

no kidding.  somebody should dump a 2 liter of mountain dew on his 360s.

He won't hook my brother up with a deal on one either. He said they where worth too much on EBay and my bro said ok. My bro said the kid is a starving college student. I said he should blackmail his ass and get 2 360's for 500. LOL

Today I went to this huge indoor flea market nearby and got a load of good stuff for good prices  Totally unexpected, as this is the same flea market where I went exactly 6 months ago and found nothing but a cheap loose Famiclone.  Today I found the following:

Philips CDi player with all hookups, controller, CIB Light gun, about 10 games....3 euro

Sega MegaDrive, all hookups, one controller, one arcade stick, and four CIB games (including one Genesis game)...12,50 euro (these were all packaged as a present as well )

Philips Videopac G7400 with all hookups, 2 controllers, and with 7 games (6 CIB), mostly rare and valuable Videopac+ games...12,50 euro

NES Zinger joystick loose...2 euro

Super Mario World Game Chair 1993.....2,50 euro!!

11 NES games, about half complete, half loose...including some nice pal-exclusives....30 euro

Atari 2600 Gemini System + 18 or 19 games with many manuals + loose pong console....5 euro

MIB Commodore 64 Microsystem....7 euro

NES with all hookups, 2 controllers, zapper, and 7 loose games....15 euro

2 loose NES games and 2 complete games including Tecmo Cup Football Game (Spanish exclusive)....15 euro

Snake's Revenge loose...4 euro

and that's basically it I think...best flea market run I've had up to now, and this had to happen the first time that I decided to go by bus...so I ended up having to call a cab to get this shit to a safe spot

[bum-man]
