Fujiwork PS2 Contoller - $5.00 at Bookoff

Check out the "NES" type of game pad. Also the L1-L2 R1-R2 staggered Trigger placement. :shock:

Anaolg and Speed Control slide switches have 3 positions each.
I was asked in a PM to add to this particular post but I really don't have anything new to add that hasn't already been discussed before.
I've seen these controllers before. Hashiriya1 seems to have your best answer. They are precision controllers but not extremely rare. If you are a collector you may want to get it but they aren't going to fetch much money if you are looking to sell them.

I remember when these things were first sold. They weren't much more than a standard PS2 Dual Shock 2.

mostly just in ohio and PA.

for some reason you can buy sega cd games from them, but they don't accept any for trade. for weird.
Some will accept them and some dont. The one in Elyria and Sandusky will take them. They also take laserdiscs LOL. It really depends on store and who is doing your trade.

The one in north olmsted does not take em and I dont know about lakewood. We have five or six within driving distance and hit them up from time to time.

Thinking to self, maybe I should not divulge my sources LOL.
there's one in indianapolis, they do take sega cd games. cool store. friend of mine just got a boxed famicom GB micro for $50. they have a lot of awesome vinyl from time to time. got black sabbath's first record and the rolling stones' "let it bleed" for like $10 each. both original and in great shape. i kinda wish they wouldn't put stickers on the sleeve itself but, like games, i buy records to play them so it's not a big deal.

I got some rather nice game guides at the Mall of America while I was on vacation in Minnesota:

Brave Fencer Musashi: $12
Okami: $13
The Orange Box: $7
Pokemon Stadium 2: $7
La Pucelle Tactics: $6

I did see a guide for Shin Megami Tensei Devil Summoner 2, but it was out of my price range.

A loose Dualshock 2 controller in perfect condition for 5 euro at a car boot sale, in a box full of positively prehistoric mobile phones.

I got a good deal today, a SNES with 19 games and a game genie for $50. Most of the games are decent, but the reason I picked it up was the guy said he had Kirby's dreamland 3 (I was responding to a classified ad). When I went to pick it up, he had Kirby but the cartridge was in deplorable condition. It looks like one of his kids tried to color it pink like Kirby and failed horribly.

Other highlights were Turtles in Time, Mario Kart (the other two reasons I wanted the bundle), Mario World, Mario All Stars, Donkey Kong 1 & 2, Earthworm Jim, and Tetris Attack. I am going to sell off some of it since I know I can make my $50 back and keep the games I want.

Picked these up from a local pawn shop yesterday. The guy said 5 bucks each or 5 for 20, so naturally I went with 5 for 20.

Contra (I don't even own a NES but this is probably my favorite game of all time so I had to pick it up.)
WWF Royal Rumble

Gamestops B2G1 on all used games today:
Singularity (Ps3, Black label)
Saints Row 2 (Ps3, GH)
Resistance Retribution (Psp, black label)

All games were $17.99 and complete. All of their Wind wakers were missing manual so I passed on it, sadly :(

Finally got out of the house and went and got sunburned at the flea market for a few hours where nobody would know me or care about the scowl on my face and the circles under my eyes.

$20 from the guy that doesn't have much, but it always reasonable:
Soldiers of Fortune - Gen - complete and minty except for a few spots on book pages
Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers - NES - cart
Kendo Rage - SNES - cart
12 GB cart cases

$7 from the shop that's horribly priced on everything almost all the time:
Saturn Multi Tap
