Treasure Hunt Chronicles: Treasure Hunt Chronicles '09 - #23

Last week I said that I would be making this a bi-weekly thing unless I had an amazing weekend for the rest of the season. And this was an amazing weekend, so here it is just one week after the last installment.

Amazingly, all this stuff came from the very first house we stopped at. We almost went to another area first but ended up going to this area instead at the last second, it's a good thing we did because even with the little competition I have, I can't imagine all of this lasting for very long. The games were marked $1 each, the system (which had DD III in it) was marked $2. I was going to buy the system (since it had the game in it) and a handful of games I needed, but I figured I might as well buy it all. I offered $20 for everything, and it was accepted.
All the "notable" games are in the front row, I was especially happy to get that Little Samson, especially after seeing it sell for over $100 earlier that day.
There's some nasty rental stickers and permanent marker on them, and I cleaned up a few already, but I've still got some work ahead of me.

This was from one of the last sales of the day, and by this point my truck was absolutely packed with stuff. It was raining all day and my dad bought three big boxes of stuff early in the day so we stuffed it all in the back of the cab (I have an extended cab S-10) and we both added bits of stuff here and there all day, so by this point it was a real challenge to get it all in.
Anyway, this was all marked $20, so I offered $10, she accepted. I' probably going to be selling the vast majority of this lot as it's almost all duplicates for me. I did use a couple of the boxes and/or manuals to complete some I already had, so that's always good. Also the Genesis storage thing is unique from what I've seen in the past as its actually licensed by Sega, all the ones I've seen before have been 3rd party items. Anyone want to make an offer on the 32X? I don't need another boxed/CIB one.
Can anyone identify the thing in front of the RF Switch? It's got some kind of connector on it like a cartridge slot.

Nothing really interesting here, I thought I had the Silent Hill so I planned on re-selling it, but it turns out I don't have it, so I'll be keeping it. I was hoping the RE game was one of the more sought after titles, but apparently, it's not.
The guy had a ton of PSX and PS2 games anywhere from $0.50 to $10, these were the only ones that I really wanted, but I probably should have grabbed some more because they were all in mint or near mint condition. These were both marked $0.75 each, I paid $1 for both.

Best deal of the week?

NES lot for $20

Genesis lot $10

PSX games for $1

Getting poll results. Please wait...

I have a feeling that history is going to repeat itself and the Nintendo NES lot will beat the Genesis lot, but what do YOU think was the best one of the week?

Last week's most popular deal was narrowly the NES games and Doom 3 with 53% of the votes.

As of this posting, I have 2,343 total games, 1,909 unique games, and 434 duplicates. Which means I have 45 more total games, 14 more unique games, and 31 more duplicates since the last Treasure Hunt Chronicles installment.

So far, I've spent $736.21 this year ($31 this week) on gaming related stuff, and I spent $0.00 this week to ship stuff for trades and I brought in $0.00 from selling stuff, so I am down $271.92 this year. The total spent (amount spent on games plus amount spent on shipping for trades) this year, is $818.86

To sum up this year's stats, I have 421 more total games, 431 more unique games, and 10 less duplicates. And I have a "loss" of $271.92 for the year.

Nice grab on Little Samson!! Im more than a little jealous of that price (thanks for referencing me in your Blog, lol).

Awesome finds, as usual!

Nice stuff! I had no idea Little Samson was that expensive.
I'd make an offer on the 32x (been thinking about getting one) but I know I'd make too low an offer since I'm short on cash.

That connector in front of the RF goes with the 32X, you connect it to the Genesis expansion slot when you have the 32X connected. I have absolutely no clue what it's supposed to be for really since the system works without it and can't be used if you have the Sega CD connected of course.

Someone wrote on Little Samson Sad

@todesengel: That's good to know, at least now I know to keep it with a 32X. I wonder if Sega had some kind of plan for this that was never utilized.

@WompaStompa11: Yeah, some rental place wrote on a lot of them. The back of Little Sampson actually had several rental stickers covering it, but I got them all off. It also had the same sticker that Waldo has right on the front label. Every time I get some valuable game it's covered with stickers and marker for some reason.

I have the same system storage thing except its for the 2600, same design though. Which NHL games did you get, hard to tell from the pic. I'm trying to find all the NHL games from the 90's complete.

Fantastic score on the NES lot. I'd die to find a Little Samson that cheap.

Nice NES haul

NES all the way.

@Chad: NHL '94 and NHL Hockey and I actually needed them, the boxes anyway Tongue

@Duke.Togo: The funny thing is that I wouldn't have known it was so expensive if Crabmaster hadn't posted that he just bought a copy of it earlier that day.
