Video Game "Look what I found"

[Hobie-wan]

I got a complete Legend of Oasis in a pretty good non broken case for $16.50 shipped. Was sent by a seller who understood the need for proper packing on it too. Got a sealed Gradius Galaxies for $23.50 shipped, also sent overpacked to make sure the box arrived safely.

Man I am jealous of all these finds. The thrift stores around me suck, the flea markets are full of rusty farm equipment, the retro game stores charge a ton, and everyone on craigslist is sketchy as balls.

Forever alone.

Banjo Tooie - $3
Star Ocean Second Story (complete) - $1
Working Nintendo DS lite - $18

$18 for a working DS Lite? I just bought some DS Lites off Ebay a few days ago for my mom so she could give them as presents, and I couldn't get a working one for less than $50. And that's a nice price for Banjo Tooie as well. Where did you get these?

Flea market. Was the first one there at several "booths".

Today went pretty well, no good "game" finds, but gaming related for sure.

First I got this really nice gaming chair at a good will for $25, it looks brand new! and looking into it online went for $300 retail! It is in our in progress game room, and works great!


Then found a pelican brand system selector for 5 at another goodwill, figures since I just bought one online! It works well and looks like a ps2 kind of.

Went to the second, smaller comic convention in my city with my brother today. There were a couple guys selling video games, so, I looked around and made a couple purchases.

F-Zero X (N64) - $5
Sega Smash Pack Vol 1 (DC) - $10
Green Dreamcast Controller - $10

And then I found a Game Boy Advance case with no GBA in it, but instead a pile of games that the guy was selling for $20. I thought "what the hell" and decided to roll the dice on getting something good. Below is what was in it.

The Legend of Zelda: The Oracle of Ages (GBC)
The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords (GBA)
The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap (GBA)
Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land (GBA)
Donkey Kong Country (GBA)
Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3 (GBA)
Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros 3 (GBA)
Army Men: Operation Green (GBA)
Crash Nitro Kart (GBA)
Dragon Ball Z Taiketsu (GBA)
Dragon Ball Z The Legacy of Goku II (GBA)
Dragon Ball Z Collectable Card Game (GBA)

F-Zero X (N64) - $5
Sega Smash Pack Vol 1 (DC) - $10
Green Dreamcast Controller - $10

a bit too much.

Thats an ok price on a Green DC controller. And the N64 game, for a cart, yeah, maybe a $1 too much, but you aren't going to get it shipped for less than that, so not bad either.

F-Zero X (N64) - $5
Sega Smash Pack Vol 1 (DC) - $10
Green Dreamcast Controller - $10

a bit too much.

But totally worth it for getting Oracle of Ages and a ton of other games for only $20.

[FAHQALL]

a bit too much.

Fair enough. I purchased them thinking that shipping the same items to Canada would most likely out-weigh the little bit of over-payment.

I don't even mind over-paying a little bit for those three. I've wanted a green Dreamcast controller for a while but hadn't seen one until today, and I love the F-Zero series and was missing F-Zero X - never even played it. The Smash Pack was a total impulse buy, but oh well, not every impulse buy's going to be a winner.

But totally worth it for getting Oracle of Ages and a ton of other games for only $20.

Oh yes, I'm very happy with the Game Boy game lot - even with the Dragon Ball and other worthless/terrible games. The first party Nintendo titles are great to have, since I neglected a lot of them in favor of console games when I was younger.
