Video Game "Look what I found"

[FerretGamer]

Now is the time to get your PS2 games at Gamestop.
Inexpensive, and a huge Selection. Get them before the the cases and manuals get tossed!

It really is! I've been going to different Gamestops every weekend and picking up all sorts of great and complete PS2 games for dirt cheap.

$5 from a Salvation army, in very nice condition and complete.

Some of you won't think this is great, but I do:
Aquaman: Battle for Atlantas GC complete $5 - I know its a bad game but it's comic book related so I can write about it on my site and no matter what others say I love the character it's not his fault people only write about him being able to talk to sea animals.
Gunstar Super Heroes GBA cart only $3

Indigo Gamecube with Power and A/V cables and a black corded controller, sitting in the glass case at the Salvation Army with a price tag of $8.99, I said I'll take it!!! You can't get the power cord, a/v cable or a controller for $8.99. I don't get the SA. One in my hometown has right now a complete SNES for $35 bucks and also a complete Sega Genesis system 2 for $35. Both overpriced in my opinion, and then the other has this Gamecube that they basically gave away, go figure.

Individual location pricing at its best, Goodwill does the same thing.

It has its good and bad moments

At least its not the Hope Chest, a thrift store chain that takes printouts from inflated ebay prices, and then sells their goods just a little under that, making people think they are getting a good deal. Apparently, they also only donate the minimum amount to the outreach programs that try to help the homeless.

Oh well, they never have anything good anyways.

Got a beautiful un-yellowed Nintendo at the local flea market last weekend. Came with the system, all hookups, adapter, zapper, both controllers, the Advanatge and four games. Got it home and hooked it up and it worked...mostly. Yes, the evil red blinking light reared it's ugly head. I took it apart and cleaned the crap out of it (good lord did it need it), put it back together and tried again and it worked a bit better. I said to hell with it and bought a new pin connector off Amazon that came in the mail on Friday and now my NES works like a dream.

Throughout the whole process my mother looked at me like I'd lost my mind. Even after explaining the purpose of the new pin connector. I'm pretty sure she didn't think it'd work, even after showing her articles on the subject and a simple YouTube demonstration. Then I popped in the first game after the pin connector switch and as soon as it showed up on the screen, without any sign what-so-ever of the red light of death, she looked at me and said, "So...Can I play Mario?" She even switched through a couple of games and is apparently so impressed with how simple the fix was that she's now offered to buy me a couple of extra pin connectors next month, "Just in case."

That's just....shifty. I never find any decent game-related things in Goodwill. I've found a ton of great books, but nothing to feed my retro needs. I've found all my retro games at local thrift stores.

Picked up a super nice TurboExpress today. Came with the TV Tuner, 2 copies of Keith Courage, TV Sports Hockey and Football, Legendary Axe, Victory Run, Alien Crush, Bloody Wolf and Bonk's Adventure. No sound issues, no dead pixels and it came in the box with instructions and styrofoam. All for $100 smackers...

That tv tuner might make a nice collector's item. But obviously, it's otherwise worthless now that all the tv stations have gone digital
