Picked up Samurai showdown best collection on sega saturn yesterday

[Mick Dundee]

Stopped in to the local thrift store that moved recently and a Gamecube caught my eye from across the store.

 Black System came with the Black controller and a Purple one as well as a "JOYTECH" 16 MB memory card.  $6

Creeped by a yard sale today and the controller ports of a 64 caught my eye. I stopped and looked at it, It came with 2 controllers (1 Standard and 1 Atomic Purple), 2 Rumble paks, Mission Impossible and Waialae Country Club but he wanted $10 so I passed on it and drove home.

 2 Hours later I decided to take my kid for a walk to get the mail and also hit up that Yard Sale again. He still had the 64 so I offered him $5 and he took it.


Got this from the same Yard Sale as the N64 for $4....my kid loves it.

Animal Crossing & Donkey Kong were bought on Amazon for $30 each after taxes. I mentioned the Dreamcast shell earlier in this thread but never posted a pic. Also picked up a Wii U game pad case for $5 so it doesn't keep getting covered in dust while I am waiting for more games to come out.

Bought Far Cry 3 and Tomb Raider at Best Buy to take advantage of their Buy 2 get a $50 Gift Card promotion, price matched Far Cry 3 for $19.99 and Tomb Raider for $41.12 at the store to match Amazon's price and still got the gift card but only for $42.72 loaded on the card. Oh well on the gift card amount, but better than paying the advertised price of $60 for Far Cry 3 and $50 for Tomb Raider. 

I am selling Tomb Raider on ebay because I am not really interested in the game (wanted MLB The Show 13, but they were out), just wanted the gift card. Here is the link for anybody interested: http://www.ebay.com/itm/271235700484?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Will sell to someone on TCP for $40, just trying to recoup my money on it.

I damn near bought tomb raider yesterday with a bunch of trade-ins that I had. Bought the Zelda history book thing instead along with MANY copies of SMB2 & 3

But, I do really want it. Are you looking for any trades at all?  I was gonna sell this famicom adapter that I made from an original Nintendo Gyromite adapter, but...

Can't wait to see it!

Hopefully the BNC adapters for my giant box of doom will be here this week. I can't wait to hook that monster up

The new Tomb Raider was amazing! Probably the first game that got me truly hooked on multiplayer after single player. Even made a few buddies who I play The Last of Us with on a regular basis now (we destroy! ). Unfortunately the multiplayer is completely dead in Tomb Raider now, which really sucks because it was really good! So to anyone buying this in the future, this is pretty much a single player only game now... With that being said, the single player was really good too.

I'm surprised these are still sitting around for $40-$50 for a new copy. The multiplayer is totally dead, and my Future Shop's and Best Buy's still have a bunch of those exclusive bundles left over.

I don't normally ever find anything fantastic enough to merit contributing to this thread, but I picked something up this weekend odd enough to share.

I was combing a Goodwill in San Francisco and came up with a copy of Myst III: Exile for PS2 (which they let me have for nothing at the register), and also found a bag full of Atari game manuals in very good condition for a few bucks. Among many others, I ended up with manuals for Pitfall, Donkey Kong, Defender, and even the E.T. game.

I don't collect for the Atari, so I will most likely end up trying to sell them off or trade them away, but I couldn't pass up a novelty like that at the time.

Oh yeah, I will accept trades. As awesome as that Famicom adapter is, I just don't have much use of it at the current point and time don't have any plans of purchasing any Famicom games. I could trade towards the price of Earthbound Zero once they become available though.

Shoot me a PM and we can discuss further offers.

This all showed up in the mail today. It was like Christmas. Not bad for a total of about $165.
