  • Nice work. Sucks about the guy swiping the SNES stuff before you though.
  • It happens all the time. No big deal, I almost never come home empty handed.
  • So recently I made a new friend on Craigslist - he is actually a new member here but I'm not sure if he wants me to recognize him in my finds thread. Anyway, I've been trading him lots of loose carts and stuff to fill his collection, and in return he has been hooking me up with some unique and awesome store merch/gaming randomness.

    I actually picked up a huge lot of items from him a couple of weeks ago which I have not posted here, but will eventually when I get a chance to put everything together for a few big pics. Yesterday I picked up a much smaller lot that included some really neat stuff. Here it is:

    List:
    Generation NEX NES/Famicom clone in retail box
    Game Cube Interactive Demo Disc #33 in case (store demo)
    DS Stylus/Game Case/Screen Protector set factory sealed
    2x Mario Galaxy Pre-Order Commemorative Coins
    A bunch of Case/Manual only for DS games
    Final Fantasy VI GBA Box/Manual
    Call of Duty 4 Limited Edition XBox 360 (minus game disc)
    Assassin's Creed Collector's Edition Tin w/figurine (no discs)
    Lost Planet Collectors Edition (no game disc)
    Ace Attorney Keychain thing
    Mass Effect Pre-Order bonus pack
    Destroy All Humans Bobblehead
    Wario: Master of Disguise Standee

    and the big one:

    3 Boxes of Pokemon HeartGold (Ho-Oh) and SoulSilver (Lugia) pre-order promo figurines (all factory sealed), 29 figurines total

    Like I said, I will be posting pics and a list of a much bigger haul from the same person from a few weeks ago. Lots of neat stuff coming up in this thread.

    And yes, everything is potentially for sale.
  • Got a decent little find today, not really pic-worthy, but here is what I got for $40 and a 30 minute drive:

    2 Super Nintendo systems (both in quite excellent condition, not yellow or chipped or anything)
    2 controllers
    10 games:
    Kirby Super Star
    Demon's Crest
    Super Mario World
    Mortal Kombat II
    Stunt Race FX
    Sim City
    Madden 94
    Super Caesar's Palace
    Wheel of Fortune Deluxe
    Donkey Kong Country

    I stopped at a pawn shop on the way home that only had a few games and some very silly prices. They had Mario / Duck Hunt for $15, but I picked up a Star Fox (SNES) and San Francisco Rush 2049 (N64) for $1.50 each...go figure. I should bring in thirty or forty Mario / Duck Hunt carts and trade them in image

    My money is made back from Demon's Crest and Kirby alone, so I am quite happy with this find image

    Thanks Justin !!
  • Dang, awesome finds. 29 of those Pokemon figures in that previous haul, yeesh!
  • I went to a garage sale on Craigslist that advertised old games this morning, ended up with a pretty good little package for $40 (negotiated down from $60):

    • CIB Mario 3 variant (good)
    • CIB Mario 2 (good)
    • Midway Arcade Treasures (XBox)
    • Capcom Classics Collection (Xbox)
    • 6 NES games (Bugs Bunny Birthday Blowout, Rescue Rangers, Duck Tales, Lolo, Bart vs. the World, Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle), all very nice condition
    • A beautiful red Game Boy (near mint condition, great screen) with 6 games (Donkey Kong Land, Kirby's Dream Land, Super Mario Bros. 2, Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle, George Foreman K.O., World Cup) and 4 plastic cases
    • Game Boy fanny pack-style case and battery pack
    I pulled up to this garage sale 7 minutes before 8AM, and 4 other cars pulled up literally 5 seconds after I had gotten out of the car. Right as I was gathering my purchases together, a guy was standing next to me going through stuff and making an offer on the leftovers image

    The awesome part: I took an unusual route home on a complete whim, and stopped at a garage sale that had apparently been ongoing for several days. Epic results. Will post later when I get a chance for pics.
