September 2012 pickups
larryinc64:
Just got back from Retro Games Plus. I went with my friend Kris, who was the guy with the eBay troubles.
Here is what I got.
Manuals- Star Wars Racer, WCW Mayhem, SNES Mouse, Game Boy - $6
Sonic 3D Blast -complete- $10
E-Reader, DK Jr. and Tennis - $7
Zelda Link To The Past - $25
NES Advantage - $10
My friend got
DJ Hero /W Controller - $20
Super Bomberman 2 - $15
Yoshi's Island - $20
Pokemon Stadium 2 - $20
Elebits - $8
Metroid Prime Hunters - $12
That store was cool, I traded in 4 Wrestling N64 games and Home Alone 2 for NES for $4.30 and I got $5 for beating a level in SMW. I even got to play a VB. He had very good prices, but a small amount of things were overpriced, mostly things worth $1, Like SMB/ DH was $5. He had $50 NES Repos, and he knew about TCP. HE had some PS1, Saturn, 3DO and Dreamcast games in DVD cases with covers.

Today I got in the mail Zelda Twilight Princess and Four Swords for the Gamecube and Castlevania IV for the snes (was so cheap from the same place I couldn't refuse even though I already have it).

Not game related, but pretty large purchase and I'm going to be broke for a while.
Yesterday (technically august eh) I traded a spare SNES and some commons for a Sega Saturn and 6 games.
Was happy to find its a model 2 and I'll probably be putting a mod chip in it.
I'm now getting pretty close to owning all the Sega home consoles lol

That's a rather vague vehicle description. What it is?

Well. If it's a 1991 Pontiac Sunbird, I would be reluctant to announce it too..LOL
BudgetGameCases:
In the interests of making good of my intentions posted in the GCW thread (yet trying to let that thread die), I'll post my ups here.
Sometime this week, I'm probably snagging a sealed Rolling Thunder. I'll scan it a bunch, and then resell it at probably half of what I'll pay for it (I already have a reliable loose copy of it, and can't justify sitting on it if someone needs a CiB copy - as for selling it at a loss, I'd rather make someone's day than a profit).
I'm trying to find good boxes for Phantom Fighter, Master Chu & the Drunkard Hu, Godzilla and the PC/Tandy version of Thexder.
If any of you come across these and don't want them for yourselves, let me know.
If you are a strong contributor here and tip me off to a box that I buy, I'll probably donate the box to you after I submit the scans as a way of saying thank you.
Crap, while I am at it (and have your attention), I have very good condition boxes for both the NES and SNES cleaning kits. Both are complete, except for the kits themselves, and the manuals.
I was going to list them on eBay, but, screw it. If any establish cover artist here wants them, they're yours for the cost of shipping.
