I'm gonna post some old flea market finds I never posted because I wasn't a member when I found these!

Image

This all came in a plastic ziplock bag. I looked at the bag and saw Zelda Minish Cap, Kirby, and Pokemon, so I decided to go for it. The guy wanted $45, I talked him down to $30.

Image

I kinda fudged up on this one. I saw what I thought was a Playstation tote-bag, but it turned out to be a PS2 carrying case. The guy wanted $15 for it, I offered $5, he said no. So I said I'd do $15 if he gave me the N64 power adapter with it. (I lost mine) So he let me have em for $15, but I think I payed too much. I did find a PS2 memory card in the bag though! Saturn: $10. Saturn Games: $4 a piece (haggled from $5). Gameboy games: 50 cents a piece. Gamecube games: $2 a piece.

The PS1 games were $1.50 a piece. They were all in the same great condition, so I'm guessing one guy donated all these games to the thrift store.

Lynx with Blue Lightning and unofficial power adapter: $10 (haggled from $20)
I hope this post wasn't too big or anything.

Smart Pawn

Got
Mario Party 9 Wii
Luigi's Mansion GCN
Prince of Persia Warrior Within GCN no manual
Super Mario Galaxy 2 no manual
Wii games were $10, GCN and PS2 $3 however I got all 4 for $20.50 w/tax, I was going to get FFX but they didn't have the game in their box of discs. They had already ran my card but no one in the store knew how to do a partial refund. They asked if they was another game I would get instead but none of the other ps2 stuff interested me. Then they offered 3 dvds so I counter offered 1 wii game and they took it, choose SMG2.

Stopped by Game Stop to grab Lollipop Chainsaw (finally dropped to $20, which is what I figured it was worth) and picked up a mint CIB copy of Indigo Prophecy for PS2 for $4.99

Been hunting this for a while, kind of a neat surprise considering they are phasing out their PS2 stuff.

I already have a copy of ikaruga and that alone sells for $60+, if the copy is in good condition ill sell it here on racketboy for the same that i paid for the lot and everybody wins.
OMG that's a great deal! (Dibs on Ikaruga!) :D
yay it arrived in only two days everything looks great, i just happened upon this one when i was looking for tech romancer. not bad for a buy it now of $50 with 4 bucks shipping.

You really don't think you've done any better?
Hell, the way my local Goodwills pricing has gone, finding any NES game for $5 or under is "Goodwill find of the year" for me... >_>

Just picked up a Wave Bird and a third party wireless controller (also for gamecube) It says G3 on it. I looked up a quick review before grabbing it and it seemed pretty good, so I took a chance. Total cost was $24 for both.

Downside to these controllers is the stupid big sensors sticking out of the top of my Wii do not allow it to fit back in the entertainment center while standing up. The third party receiver is at least .5-.75 inches taller, and with the antenna sticking out, like 2 inches longer than the wave bird receiver.

Sometimes you find some truly amazing buy it nows from people who need to dump stuff for cash. Always a wonderful thing when you find one.

Goodwill:

Star Wars Ep. 1 Racer (N64): $1.50
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 (N64): $1.50
Diablo II Expansion (Lord of Destruction): $1.50
Gamecube Platinum with Power/AV Cables: $8.00

Gamecube fan only comes on, no light/disc spin. I think it's the fuse, as that was what a guide online suggested. Maybe I'll get around to fixing it. I dunno.
