Two different BookOffs at different prices. Nice size of the dogbone approach with auto fire buttons.
Those Yobo controllers are surprisingly nice.

And the cool thing about the Yobo clone console is that it also accepts real NES controllers.

Goodwill find today!

Post by MrsWclem »

We got a call from our local Goodwill lookout...He advised that a box of game related stuff came in that he was about to price and put out of the floor and asked if we wanted first dibs.... Uh, DUH! We were there in 5 minutes. This is what he had:

Image

PS1: Chess, Harry Potter Chamber of Secrets, and Bomberman

N64: Super Mario 64, Diddy Kong Racing and Pokemon Stadium.

PS2: Band Hero, Midway Arcase treasures 2, Sims 2, The Urbz, DDR Extreme2, and Guitar Hero III.
Game Cube: Animal Crossing, Sonic Adventure Battle 2, Harvest Moon: Another Wonderful Life, Pokemon Coluseum, Spyro Hero's Tale & Enter the Dragonfly, Sonic Adventure DX Director's Cut

Image

Unfortunately, just a standard jumper pack, but the two controllers make up for it! Not pictured, but was in the box... A black DS lite (charger included!) with Zelda Spirit Tracks in it! (Due to dumpster diving, I had the case and manual for the Zelda game to complete it!)

Total cost for this Goodwill haul? $22.50 tax included!

No pics, but I also went dumpster diving at Gamestop. I got 58 DS cases with liners and manuals, 10 PS2 cases w/liners and manuals. A surprise was a beat up copy of Soul Calibur IV for the XBox 360 (complete!). The disc was bad off. A two minute buff and it works just fine...They had just did their media change-over, so I got a ton of posters and signage too (for Destiny, Army of Two, ect!)

Dumpster diving = Free stuff... Gotta love that! It was a banner day.

Oh, and WCLEM and I reached a milestone (not reported cuz I havent been on in a while...). We reached over 5000 games!

Damn! Wish I could find a copy of The Neverhood on the cheap. Well done.
Good find! I saw NTSCJ Neverhood 2 for the PS1 at BookOff today and passed on it. Really wish it were the first one.

A couple of great ideas! You know you are a little nuts on games when Goodwill actually gives you a personal call like that, congrats! :D

Yea, I have spies EVERYWHERE!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: It pays to chat up the workers and helps when you are sincerely friendly.... A tip? Use Vistaprint and have business cards printed with your "wants" and a contact email. I pass them out all the time at garage sales, thrift stores, ect. You can get some great hits that way!

Thanks!!

Goodwill:

Donkey Kong Country SNES: $1.50
Mario All-Stars SNES: $5.00

Resident Evil: Director's Cut PS1 (Greatest Hits): $4.00
Vagrant Story PS1 (Black Label): $12.00

The DKC is possibly the ugliest/dirtiest cartridge I've ever seen. Both plastic halves shift when you squeeze them together, and it's discolored, and dirty. Hopefully it works.

Edit: It works!

Pretty good finds! I once got EVO in a box of groady games with a destroyed SNES system. It was a bundle of games with the system....for $15....They were dirty, but the best way to get the deals sometimes!

Remember that time I said I went to a yard sale and found a Dreamcast arcade stick in box for $10 and passed it up? Probably not. But today, at least a few months later, I went to another yard sale only to find that same lady and that same Dreamcast stick, apparently I was just bound to buy the damn thing. haha Ended up paying $7.
