I'm getting a Sega Dreamcast soon, with hookups and controllers, Rayman 2 and a racing game from a friend for a copy Sonic and The Secret Rings . Things could always go wrong with it, as it hasn't happened yet of course.

GH 3 with Guitar for X-Box 360, I traded it too a friend for some of his old games. I would consider this pretty good, considering I merely traded someone a game I can't play.

N64 with all the hookups, and an Expansion Pack.
N64 Games: Turok 2, South Park, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 and 007: The World Is Not Enough. The Controller Pak worked fine when I got it, but it became corrupted soon after....(I assume it was banged up on the way home) It came with a controller that had a messed up analog stick, though still usable for certain games. I Picked up a controller for 10$ at the pawn shop so I could actually play the games correctly, but now I need the pak to save them with. Tony Hawk is playable with his controller, so 2P action is already possible.

The game I gave him had just been collecting dust in my closet for 4-5 months anyway, it was almost like I got it for free, really.


Also, that other guy's Earthbound find, simply amazing. I've always imagined how freaked out I would be if I saw Earthbound or Shamae or something for super cheap at a yard-sale, but at an actual game store? If I'm ever in that town, I'm hitting that place.

Picked up a green N64 with Rayman 2 and expansion pak for $36 shipped via ebay.

It's missing the expansion pak door, any one have an extra green one?

Went to Ed McKay in Raleigh today, got Castlevania Bloodlines for $14 (Ya a little pricey but a label in that good of a condition could not be passed up) and Dragonfire for $1 (2600). My cousin works there and she introduced me to the Video Game Manager there. Getting to talk about old school games with them was quite fun.

Might be a little on the steep side for Bloodlines but I think you'll find it was $14 very well spent.

Yeah I'd agree. And this is from the place that had Kirby's Adventure 3 for $32, Contra Hard Corps for $22 and Toomba for $60. Maybe I'm behind on the prices but these seemed a bit much. Overall this Ed McKay has excellent prices but these stuck out for some reason.

Picked up a 'new' Atelier Iris 3 from GS along with Me and My Katamari for 7 and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep for 26 on the PSP for the wife today.

Over the weekend I found a sealed Deathsmiles limited edition for 30.

The local craigslist deals have really been drying up for me lately. Going to have to start hitting up the yard sales now.

I recently posted on a sell/swap/trade website in my area looking for video games, and got a hell of a deal the other day:

Purple n64 with two matching controllers, Duke Nukem 64, Mario Party 3, Rayman 2
Atari 2600 with 15 games, controllers
SNES by itself
Game Cube with 5/6 little kids games
PS1 with this weird flight stick and controller
various memory cards for all systems

I met this lady and checked out what she had, because she had no idea. I asked what she wanted to get for it after I checked it out and noticed that everything was nearly mint with the exception of the gamecube games. She said "I don't care, whatever you want to pay me". Don't I love hearing that...gave her 50 bucks for the whole lot. Shes coming back with 22 games for the SNES and 3 more controllers and some "other stuff" when I get paid again. It was pretty exciting going through the box when she showed up, cuz she told me about a few things but said a lot of it she didnt know about, I was really psyched when I found the Nintendo 64, it looks so badass.

This one?

A limited use stick. It also has a digital mode, Both sticks act as the direction pad, great for older non Dual Shock games. Check Wiki, I placed some updated info there a while back. Some PS2 games do work with it. :mrgreen:
