the small score's thread

[Ghost Soldier]

Had a small find last night.

Magic Darts NES 4.00 
Robocop 3 NES 4.00

I went in and was going to pick up Werewolf and Magic Dart's. To my suprise a 9.95 sticker was on Werewolf  so I chose robocop and walked out. It's amazing what some people price games they think of as "rare" and other's they don't bother with. I really wanted werewolf but not for 10 bean's. I can't complain too much I got Magic Darts for a good price.

All for $10.  The woman running the sale said her boyfriend (who wasn't there) had "boxes" of Atari stuff in the garage, but he had the only key and she couldn't get inside.  So I'm going back tomorrow to see what I can get (hopefully I can get out of there in time to make it my sister's weding

Not much today.  All I got was Playstation Underground Jampack Summer '99 and Winter '99 for 25 cents each. 
I went to a sale and found a stack (21) of Xbox games for $20 but didn't get them as I don't have the system, but I'm starting to regret not buying them. 
I went back to the sale, but it was 12 games, not 21 (typo) and ended up buying them all.

My sister was clearing out her wardrobe and found her old Toshiba T2100 laptop. I turned it on but the CMOS battery was dead so it wouldn't boot. I was able to check some of its specs - 4MB RAM and a 262MB hard drive. I took the hard drive out so we could recycle the rest of it at wherever it is that recycles computers. I put the hard drive in my external 2.5" HDD enclosure but it made a sound like a chainsaw and Windows wouldn't recognise it, so I took it out.

Not much at the garage sales today. 
[img width=700 height=528]http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j22/Mike_2_0_0_6/Game%20Collection/IM001449.jpg[/img]
The Mortal Kombat movies were 50 cents each.
The Radio Shack "Turbo Raceway" game was 25 cents.
The Playstation cords were 25 cents.

The PS2/game holder was also 25 cents. 

I found a guy selling a Genesis 3 and a box of games for $20.  I offered $10 expecting him to counter with $15 which is what I wanted to pay.  But instead he said "I could get at least $50 for that on eBay" so I didn't buy it.  If he wasn't an ass about it, I would have payed $20 for it. 


I did go back to that lady's house who had the boxes of Atari stuff in the garage on Friday, but again she forgot the key   So I went back today (she was no longer having a garage sale) and knocked on the door, but no one answered.  So I didn't get anything.  Oh well, it was probably just big old prototype systems that would take up a bunch of space.

Today started out pretty good, I stopped at a garage sale on the way to the flea market and looked around and found nothing good for sale, but then I saw a "free" box, so I skimmed through it.  Ended up getting this stuff:
[img width=700 height=528]http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j22/Mike_2_0_0_6/Game%20Collection/IM001452.jpg[/img]
Strider
Power Rangers
Simon
Bass Fishin'
I would have gotten some other junk, but I felt kind of guilty for taking all that and not buying anything. 

Then at the flea market, the very first vendor I saw had a stack of NES games an he's always there and I usually don't bother looking (he was trying to sell Golf for $5 for months now) because he never wants to deal.  But I looked anyway and picked out a few loose games, he said they were $2 each.  But then I noticed a boxed game and when I picked it up to ask how much, I noticed there were 3 more under it.  He wanted $4 for it.  So I made a stack and he said I could have them all for $12.

Yesterday I picked up a couple of things. The first was a "Challange Set" NES box, with no styto but in really nice shape. The second was Dragon Warrior I CIB, which by my best estimation has been used. It it exquisite. It doesn't have the laminated charts, but I think with a little looking I can track those down.

Got both items for a little under $20, which I didn't feel bad about because of how little I have been finding lately.
