Video Game "Look what I found"

[GamerMON]

I found a lot of good stuff Saturday. Best thing I found was a Model 1 Genesis in the box (console, power cord, & controller inside) at Goodwill for $20. It's one of the few consoles I didn't have a box for so I had to pick it up. Also got a new Xbox 360 Charge kit for $13.

Earlier in the day I found a Model 1 Genesis w/2 controllers and the power cord for $10, a pristine silver Gamecube w/power cord for $10 (found and extra power cord & A/V cables in a bin of random junk too), Joe Montana Sports Talk Football CIB for $4 (only paid that much because the game holds some sentimental value to me), and Joe Montana & NHL 94 for Sega CD for $5 each (had Rise of the Dragon & Sega Classics Arcade Collection inside instead of the sports games; just wanted the cases anyway as they are near mint) and a SpongeBob Plug & Play for $3.

Off to the next thrift store to find WWF Raw for Xbox for $1, a GBA w/Backyard Baseball for $13, and a Commodore 64 Plug & Play (which I almost didn't see the first 2 passes over the electronics) for $3.

At another thrift I got a GBA SP and a DS carry case for $5, Young Merlin for SNES $4, Elder Scrolls 3 Game of the Year Edition on PC $5, and another GBA for $10. I was really excited to see an NES on the shelf until I noticed the price was $40- some random power cord, 2 controllers, and no RF cable; I'm sure some sucker will buy it though.
At a couple of other thrifts I picked up a PS2 slim power cord for $4, a PS2 controller cord extension cable for $2, PS2 multi-tap $3, and a PS One (system only) for $7. I'm starting to find PS Ones (the slim model) pretty frequently. This is my 4th and the 3rd in the last 2 months.

I need to stop hoarding but it brings a tear to my eye when I pass on good games/systems that I already own just to see them appear at local retail stores the next week for above eBay prices and just sit because most reasonable people won't pay those inflated prices.

That's pretty sick. Care to share how much lighter the wallet is after such a pick-up?

Well, I will be keeping several carts and selling the others. So I typically dont like saying.

But for this I paid 600

You are still posting, so it is probably safe to assume that your wife has not killed you yet. I would still watch my back if i were you, however.

Haha well she doesn't mind that I am subsidizing collection a bit and making a little money. She has been minding the time sink.

Though sunday evening I was actually able to sit down with her and finish up walking dead season 3 and GoT S3 EP1 with her.

Actually, everyone who bought something cool from our big sale should thank my wife. If it were up to me, I would've kept it all for myself hahaha. The only way she signs off on something like that is for me to get some return out of it.

She also is a gamer herself, so that helps.

I see a Shatterhand and Silius in there.
Don't tell me you've been finding this stuff on Craigslist.

See that's the thing - my wife would never let me out the door with $600 cold hard cash on me. Maybe $100 and even that's pushing it. I leave the huge lots to other folks.
