Video Game "Look what I found"

[nullxor]

I went to three different antique malls today. Didn't find much, but some stuff that I needed.

NES power adapter $1.75
Genesis model 2 power adapter $1.75
Gamecube power adapter $3.30

N64s were $25 console only
Genesis were $20 console only
Playstations $50
Xbox $50

That sounds a little backwards unless they're referring to ps3's and xbox 360's >_>. Even console only if I knew what I was doing and it turned out the n64's didn't work I'd try to fix them. That's cheaper than I see most other places....

Did pretty good at an thrift store today.

Medal of Honor Heroes (PSP - Complete) - $2.50
The Warriors (PSP - Complete) - $2.50
Manhunt 2 (PSP - Complete) - $2.50
Grand Theft Auto Liberty City Stories (PSP - Complete) - $2.50
New Super Mario Bros 2 (3DS - Loose) - $2

I usually never buy loose carts, but for $2, would be insane. This is the second time I have picked up a loose 3DS at a thrift store when they thought it was some form of a memory card.

Ha, I don't blame you, I would've done it too.....especially for a smb game >_>

Well it didn't come cheap but I doubt I'd ever see it again if I didn't pounce when I had the chance

It wouldn't surprise me if the guy pulled a bait and switch on you it happens around here all the time and is part of the reason I don't do Craigslist/Facebook anymore. I always ask for pictures to confirm the stuff actually exists before going out been burned to many times to trust locals when doing deals online.

At least your guy had some quality stuff though.

This made me go look at Wii brand new prices, they are selling them for $270-$400 . Wii is rare collectable now ?

They were just the original consoles. The last time I checked, N64s consistently sell on Ebay for $30 so $25 is very high a flea market. I find them all the time for $5-15 (console or with controllers/cables etc).

To be honest this thought hadn't occurred to me yet but it's definitely possible. He is an admitted former reseller so who knows what tricks he's using to unload his stock. Either way, I walked away with some cool stuff for a pretty good price. I can make a little back on the few doubles I picked up which will bring the price down even more on the stuff I needed.
