Goodwill for $3 each. I checked each one for scratching but none of them had anything major, probably will all play fine. After my 10% student discount all 8 of these ended up costing me $23.04. At least there were a couple decent ones in it.

I am at work now, so no pics yet, but I was so excited to get this I just had to post. Here is what I snagged, for a total of $65:

Game Gear boxes/manuals:

Micro Machines
Deep Duck Trouble

Gameboy system box/styro/manual/cable

Original Gameboy boxes and manuals:

Jungle Book
Wario Land
Yoshi's Cookie
Super Mario Land
Super Mario Land 2
The Little Mermaid
Earthworm Jim
Donkey Kong
Balloon Kid
Mega Man V     !!!!!!

 

Surprisingly, the Mega Man V is the absolute best condition of all of them. I would give this box a solid 9/10, it's absolutely beautiful! Pics to come tonight when I get home. I do not have any plans to sell this stuff, will be keeping for my own collection. Super excited though for the Mega Man V, I still can't believe it.

Actually picked this up from someone that works for the same city I do. We don't really work with each other, but see each other in passing and he knows I am into games. When I asked him how much he wanted for the boxes he said "how about $150?" Turns out he was just joking. I probably would have still paid that but it would have hurt a little more

Goodwill score! Unfortunately it looks like the PS2 is toast, doesn't turn on and the disc drive is broken on the front. At least it has a network adapter attached on the back and all of the cords + a remote control. A couple of the games are missing in the cases but most are there. The purple N64 controller had some frays/nicks in the cord but I think it's fine, ended up wrapping some electrical tape around the trouble spots. Overall though the N64 carts alone will pay for all of this and then some, pretty satisfied despite some flaws here and there.

Paid a whopping $30 for everything, not bad at all!

Wow, what a deal! I'm most impressed with that incredible Game Boy lot. The Mega Man box is gorgeous.

Because our local goodwills either are swamped by resellers or the locals got smart and took it to the flea markets, craigslist or ebay.

That's a hell of a lot there and most your $30 is in that Snowboard Kids 2 cart which is worth nearly that much.

Quick question if anyone knows (not to bring up a whole price check thread on it). The GBA SP is a gold one, and from what I can gather it's one that Toys R Us came out with packed with Super Mario Advance 4. There weren't many I could find on eBay, though I'm guessing it's not much more expensive than a regular GBA SP? Might end up keeping it as a spare, but thought I'd ask.

Got all of this for $26, awesome. Expansion pack is installed (figured as much when I saw it with Donkey Kong 64 and Majora's Mask). Surprised the Jumper Pak was still hanging around. Really clean stuff too, I'm happy:



.....and as I was cruising the store, I saw this giant snake wrapped around one of those large toy electric cars. Brand new with tags, thing is like 10 feet long fully stretched out. Cost me $3.81, sweet! I put the Tony Hawk cart there so you can get an idea of the size better. Gf's son loves it

Walked into a thrift store today and this was sitting on a piece of furniture out of place. I have never owned a 3DO before and honestly know nothing about it, but it was only $3 so I had to pick it up. I tested it out and it works great. There was a game inside too - Twisted. How did I do? Figured it was hard to go wrong at $3 Pics:

Whether you're reselling it or keeping it for yourself, that's a steal at $3. These things cost $600 in 1993 due to them being years ahead of their time. I've always wanted to find one of these out in the wild just to play that awesome old Jurassic park game on it.

Yeah $3 is a GREAT find for this. Just the game inside was worth the $3. The system is about 25x that.

Awesome! I probably won't end up keeping it, but it was a neat thing to find. Was glad to find a game inside too, even though it is a pretty cheap and cheesy game

Very nice find. Last time I saw a Panasonic 3DO in my area it was going for about $120. Even my Goldstar 3DO ran me $40 with a few games.

I got a 3DO for $10.00 last year, but mine had no controller and the game inside was only a golf game. I was still thrilled to have it, ordered a cheap controller off line and was in business.

3DO stuff is so hard to find. I've only ever seen one in person. Found one at a flea market last year. She wanted $1 for the system and $1 for the power cord and controllers. Only have found 1 game, some disc only boxing game for 0.25. Did find some NIB goldstar controllers at goodwill last week for $1 each though.
