Just a few quick finds from the last two weeks. Nothing too cool or crazy today.

Some cheap guides I picked up. Also the VHS I needed to complete my boxed copy of 7th Guest. Plus a Duck Tales Sticker book I found for a quarter because why the hell not.



This was a nice Sega find. Only $10 for everything here and most of the games are CIB. I almost didn't get this one because I found this advertised in a garage sale on Craigslist and by the time I saw the ad it was 10am already. I ate my crunch berries and hustled out to the sale which was 7 minutes away only to find some teenage going through all these. I waited patiently as he told his mom that he was looking for a diamond in the rough. Thankfully his mom told him she was leaving and he had no choice to but to go. As soon as they were in the car I walked over handed the seller $10 and walked past the teen in the car. This included the cords but no controllers.


Even more consoles were found as I ventured out. Spent $12 total on all of these. I did not even know that the PS2 was made in white.


Another $14 spent on the SNES games and the NES game (included two GBA manuals that are not pictured). Paid $5 for Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones in great condition at one of those big chain pawn shops.

Howdy NA friends. Went out for a few hours on Saturday. Found some decent items at the thrift stores, a swap meet, and a pawn shop.

The items in total.



Paid $6 total for both of the Commodore Vic 20 games and Cloudburst appears to be a rare title. Minish Cap was $5 and Ninja Turtles was $1. The Gamecube games are Paper Mario and Twilight Princess. Paper Mario came with Mario Kart Double Dash which I paid $10 for and Twilight Princess was included with the $10 Gamecube. I am currently sitting on at least 7 working gamecubes....they seem to be very common and cheap where I live.


Bad picture but I paid a total of $40 for all these games. Not a steal but certainly under Ebay. Persona 3 FES has found a place in my personal collection and the Mario Galaxy coin may end up there too. Dora was for my daugher.


Bought a sealed memory card for $2, both Tiger Handhelds were $3 each, Yahtzee was $1.30, and the cord was $1.50.


All in all it wasn't a bad day and I was able to add to my collection. Also bought was a nice stack of 8 mangas for $1.47. I passed on a couple decent Gamecube games but I plan on going back later in the week and snatching them up.

you wouldn't happen to be selling that twilight princess disk would you?

Spent a decent amount of time checking out many garage sales and stores. I was about ready to call my weekend a bust despite finding some decent things. My wife and I checked out a couple more garage sales on our way to the store. I was blown away by what I walked out of there with.

That garage sale had a boxed and nearly complete 3-DO with 8 games. The box is missing all papers but has intact styrofoam. The games that came with it are:
Twisted (CIB), Way of the Warrior, Alone in the Dark, Return Fire (CIB), Samurai Showdown, Street Fighter 2 Turbo (CIB), Off-world Interceptor, and Pebble Beach Golf Links (CIB). $15 for all of this and it's a very clean and great working console.


The other $15 I spent there got me this. A playstation, all cords, two controllers, two demo discs, and four CIB games. I love the Doom longbox and I needed the Resident Evil: Directors Cut for my Resident Evil collection.


This is the rest of the stuff I picked over the weekend. Nothing too special but I did get a good deal on the SP (came with the case, charger, and two games). Pokemon Colosseum was $5 and Godzilla was $2. GB color is missing the battery cover but it was $4.


I paid $4 per guidebook. I love the Zelda collectors edition guide. Very shiny.


I also picked up some really cheap manga, a couple action figures and lego mini-figs. One other thing of note is that I stopped by the garage sale of a guy that deals in pinball and aracde machines. His garage was full of them and I got his card/info for future use.

Sweet score! Nice find on that Zelda CE guidebook.
