Thrifting Odds and Ends (Games, Controllers, Oh My!)

Some good pick-ups today overall. I've been debating getting a Staunton Chess set forever so I guess waiting it out was a good idea. The controllers have been crazy lately. That's also my second Saturn in as amny weeks. No cables again so I haven't been able to test them.

    It surprises me the amount of cool old toys and games people get out of goodwills in various places. I know I've said enough on how bad my local one is for games (for the first time in 18mo they got a stack of like 15 super common NES games) but when it comes to toys they just have this large bin and calling it 'dumpster diving' would be generous.

    I've been finding a lot of toys lately. The older robots are really collectible so I'll usually get those. I found an old Tomy robot awhile back. It was in the box so that ended up selling for $70.

    I never had one. I wish some tapes came with it 'cuz it's in perfect condition. It looks like it would be fun to play.

    Thanks, I just sold another Resident Evil Longbox 2 days ago so this one was a funny find. The robot is a Tiger 2-XL (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2-XL) I came across an 8 track from the original one the other day but passed it on by.

    Yeah I know those robots tend to be popular. I imagine finding an old tape based Teddy Ruxpin could get pretty serious since they did get reissued a couple years back so obviously it's popular like Transformers.

    My area isn't that good for games either. I did have a massive genesis haul last year, but the only nintendo stuff to come through in the past few years was a lot of about 15 games. Good ones, at least.



    But dang, all that in one day? I'm loving the Jaguar and 3DO games. I have never seen one of those "in the wild", ever.

    awesome picks. I think today I'll hit up my localish good will when I go into town (I live in the middle of nowhere so It's 45 min at least to get into town hwy driving) and see what they might have.

    My first time on those things, so me neither. I almost passed them over 'cuz I'm not used to seeing the cases or graphic marks at all.
