I got all this for $50. They all work but they only came with some cords and no controllers. Not the best deal but whatever.

Paid a little more then I usually do for demos but it's been a while since I've seen any and my demo collection needed some fresh blood. Paid $12 for Exhibition Vol 1,3, and 4 for Xbox. As well as PSU Jampack Winter 2000 and Fall 2001.
Nice Finds on the Demos. No really especially on the Xbox demos for the download content that can no longer be had thru Xbox live! You'll find the extra Content for Toe Jam & Earl on one of those exhibition Discs.

Speaking of which I picked up a few more Xbox demo discs just for the bonus content. I am green with Xbox goodies. :mrgreen:

Xbox Fan Book $0.01 Frys
Xbox Blow Lid Off $0.99 Frys

Only a buck for both books from the Frys book clearance rack, there were about five copies of each. Good read on early games, various controllers and inside tricks that can be done to the box.

Xbox Demo Discs 11-13-22-29-31 Swap Meet $5.00 Total
Various game demos and game saves. One that caught my eye is all the unlocks for Chronicles of Riddick.

Xbox / PC Pariah Demo - Free Included with above discs
A dual console PC demo disc. Unlock code for PC and Xbox versions. My controller would not work after the Opening Menu teasing about game play and making of videos. Maybe does not work on the 1.6 Xbox?

PC Star Trek Next Generation Companion - Free with above discs
Offline series guide, now I can figure out which season had which shows. Been trying to locate the episode where the Captain and Ensign were marooned, some great dialog in the story.

Xbox Blinx 1 - $5.00 BookOff
Xbox Blinx 2 - $10.00 shipped Ebay

Exclusive Xbox games. Collect a combination of symbols to unlock "VCR" controls to stop, rewind and fast forward time as if playing a video tape. Adds to the gameplay to defeat enemies, pretty interesting affect.

@ Fragems - I played the Blinx demo on one of the Exhibition Discs. There is another character in the demo that offered a different style with a Metal Gear stealth mode combined with the VCR time shift controls. Looking forward to see what all the levels play out in both the Blinx game.

Xbox Outlaw Golf / Seablade Combo Case - $5.00 Play Trade
Sticker had two price tags for the store inventory count. Employee only charged me for one of the games inside. I bought this for the novelty of the combo game set, each on its own disc and separate manuals inside. Seablade offers a different way to escape the enemy by diving the jet underwater. I think inspired from a 70s TV show, a flying submarine!

Xbox Star Wars Starfighter - $5.00 PlaynTrade
Has extra levels compared to the PS2 version and in higher resolution, oh yeah!

Sadly, my local PlaynTrade is now gone. Ah well, managed to grab some good stuff, I'll post some more later on.

If your console is modded it is fairly easy to get hold of DLC, still nice to have physical copies though.

Hit the flea market today and grabbed some decent stuff, nothing great.

I got a few mediocre Genesis games for $5 total, a Wii (no sensor) for $15, an SNES (console only, not pictured) that's super yellow with a broken AC adapter pin for $5. It still works but will need some love. I also got Lord of the Rings the Third Age for $3. It looks decent enough, never played it. Of course, any time I find a cheap copy of Battlefront II for the Xbox I have to grab it (4%. Yes, I'm a dirty reseller.

I technically paid $30 shipped for Darkwing Duck on the NES but I used my dirty reseller money from a copy of Gauntlet: Dark Legacy, which I had picked up a few weeks back at a thrift store, to pay for it so it was basically $4. I've been selling off a lot of unwanted stuff lately to ramp up my NES collection.

I've been doing a lot of trading with some other collectors in town lately and saw one of them at the flea market. We walked around for a bit and came across a Gameboy Player with the start-up disc for $20 and he actually said no because it was too expensive. Talk about getting caught slipping! I grabbed it and will replace my disc with this one, which has the original case and instructions and is in a bit better shape than mine. I can't believe he, as an avid collector, didn't have one and passed on it for $20. I'm going to rub it in his face for a week and sell him my old one for $10. It really is the best way to play old Gameboy games in my opinion.

I would kill to find a decently priced Saturn in my area. Last one I saw was in pretty shitty condition and they were wanting $65.

Buddy of mine just gave me a box full of stuff that he realized he was never going to plug in again. He had vague plans, YEARS ago, of building something like Yoshi's Box (remember that? Anyone?), but has never done it. Haven't fully investigated yet, but at the very least it has a Genesis with a couple 3rd party controllers, an N64 with 2 controllers -- a gray one that seems to have an absolutely unused thumb stick, and a purple one that seems average --, a 4switch 2600, and an NES (which I honestly think I gave him back in the day), plus some miscellaneous cords. Have to investigate that better, there appears to be at least some sort of dance mat in there. Doesn't look like much in the way of games, but he said there should be a couple kicking around in there.
Gunning for a licensed NES NTSC-U set, follow the madness and poverty here!
Cheat sheet of my collection, always looking to increase it. 405/677 licensed games, 46/"95" unlicensed

Many people are picking stuff for the oXbox, I always thought that console didn't have enthusiasts.

Why would you think that?

Plenty of decent games on the system are going for next to nothing.
