April 2014 pickups

[TDIRunner]

I don't have a picture at the moment, but I picked up an original XBox with all cables and a controller for $25.  Not bad. 

A small gaming store near me is about to close down for 2 months while they remodel and they are having a big sale before the close.  All of their consoles (they have many) are marked down.  Some are better deals than others, but I already own most of them.  Unfortunately, they won't budge on the two FZ-1 3DO models they have for sale ($100 each).  I tried, but they are firm.  It's an interesting little place.  Their selectionis huge considering how small the place is.  2 months is a long time to close.  I'm looking forward to seeing it after the remodel.

For $100, you get the FZ-1 with A/V cable, A/C adapter, and one controller.  I think they knock 10% off a game when you get a console as well.  It's not a bad deal, but if they had included it in overall store sale, I would have bought one for sure.  I may end up getting one of them anyway, I just have not been able to find a better deal anywhere.

For 40$ i get the console with a/v cable, a/c adapter and maybe 2 controllers. Don't know the weight but maybe the shipping price it's 30$ to Spain

Where from?  That's a great price!

I hate to be an ass and post this RIGHT AFTER the previous comments, but I totally forgot to post this last week...



I had been hunting down a 3DO (and with the help of some of the folks on here) I found one on Craigslist for $75.
My one gripe...and it's a minimal one..is that the controller has the headphone jack, meaning it's the controller for the FZ-1, NOT the FZ-10.  But beggars can't be choosers. 

Just wanted to post and to thank those who helped me figure out what to look for.

Private petition on conbinijapan, they give you a list of prices with the condition of the console if you contact them. This way i got a neo geo cd front loader 1 year ago (only console) for 7000 yen +3200 on shipping (spanish stores say me 200€ to get the same..).
Seeing the price of the FZ-1 3DO in auctions japan probably will cost 4000 yen you can bid using an intermediary

Just got my faith restored in Craigslist.  "Vintage Video Games! - $75" was the headline, and for once it wasn't the standard "N64 and 2 games" bs it always is.  I ended up getting 2 4-switch 2600's with power supplies, 5 joysticks total and 1 set of paddles; a High Definition Graphics (TMSS) Genesis 1 with 1 first-party and 1 3rd party controller, as well as 2 3rd party arcade sticks (no power supply but whatever I have a pile of them) and the EA 4 player adapter; a 32x with connecting cable and power supply; and a whooooooole stack of games, the majority of which I did not have yet.

So yeah.  $300-400ish worth of stuff for $75.  I'll peel off the games I don't have and probably still make back double what I paid, even taking into account the fact that the Atari games are pretty beat up label-wise.

[TDIRunner]

Awesome deal.  Knuckles Chaotix is worth more than half of what you paid.

I'll probably be interested in Atlantis (I see you have two of them).  Let me know when you have a list of your doubles.  Hopefully Frogs and Flies is a double for you....

attempting this post on my phone, see how well it works.

One of the zeldas is for my brother in law.  Except the go Joe, the nes games were one lot, but had a few I didn't own

I'd almost forgotten that this was on its way



BadChad, I know, you don't even have to remind me. I'll get on it ASAP

Nice! Now you just gotta pick up a second arcade stick and make yourself one of those modified SD card's and this thing really becomes worth the pick-up. Let me know when your all set up, I've got a full library ready to go I can send over!

OK.  You have my attention.  I wasn't aware of any types of mods for this thing.  Do you have any good links I can resarch?  I've had one of these for a while now and I like it, but I wish there was more I could do with it.  Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like we will see much more from the maker.

You haven't seen the "mega pack" and "classic packs"?  There is a decent amount of support, surprisingly.
