JUNE 2014 Picks

[tiktektak]

Had dozens of pickups over the last few weeks but I think that is the most noteworthy ->



Paid 15 for it.

[PinBiohazard]

I got
PS1:
TOCA Touring Car Championship (Platinum)
Die Hard Trilogy (Platinum)
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six (Ubisoft Exclusive)
Xbox:
Conflict Desert Storm

All 50p Each

Conflict Storm has a little story about it, I do Games Development at collage and for the Animation Unit we had a Temp lecturer, his name was Steve Crocker, he worked on helping with the animation on the game and is credited in the credits at being the Artist for it (he also on Space Hulk for PS1 and did animations for DJ Hero)

Got a call from a friend at a local Goodwill, and took a trip out there.

Wii accessory lot only cost me $5, Sims 2 + Pets for $4, and the controllers + memory card for $3 each.

Today's haul.  I paid more than I should have for something at a yardsale, but it's a yardsale from a guy who's also a dealer, so not like I'd be expecting bargains. Still, the Nes and all games was under fair market value, so not too bad. I already have a box for an action set, but it's the first release, and has no foam inside, and it pretty rough, so I'm going to use this boxes foam in it to straighten it out a bit, and use both in different areas of the room.



It was the only yard sale I could find today, and yet there were sooooo many last weekend when I couldn't go due to work.

Also, looks like I should have driven one more mile today...


Oh well, 8,000 more miles, and I'm framing a pic of my odometer.

[Arseen]

92K miles... 148030 kilometres?

Baby car.

Mines at 510K kilometers and my fathers is somewhere a 850K+

[TyrannicalFascist]

Also completed my Mario Kart 64 figure line, I'm missing a few parts, but I got most of it.

Congrats! I'm over half-way there myself including the Diddy Kong Racing figures, but the prices on eBay are just crazy. The only one you're "technically" missing is the semi-transparent Ghost Mario, but that's only if you're a completionist. For me personally I'm happy with just regular Mario in my collection.

Went on a game hunting trip today to various flea markets / pawn shops / etc.



Zelda Map, Yar's Revenge manual, Yar's Revenge comic $1 each
Pikmin disc only $5
T2 sealed $5
Game Boy Color $4
Land of Illusion $2

Also found these...



It's a Sega display case and there is another one that is in parts that is not picture.  Me and a buddy split all of it for $100.  I'm not really sure if all the parts are there or if this one is even put together correctly.  We figured we could try and get it fixed up or use it to make something else. Either way we hadn't seen one before and we can't find a picture of one yet.  Anyone have any info or pics of one of these things complete?

Was 33 miles when I got it I was putting on about 30k/year, then I moved from working 45 miles away to working from home, so the mileage stopped dead.

Those look pretty cool. I wanted a wall mounted N64 one for a long time. I dont think I have seen a free standing one like that before.

Do the swiveling display parts stop on "front " and "back" position?

eBay prices for Figures tend to be high, it sucks, I kinda want the Diddy and Banjo figures from the other line.

I have Ghost Mario, He just is in Normal Mario's Kart. I have Ghost Mario's Kart, It's just elsewhere, and the Ghost is near Bowser, and the opaque Kart looks better.
I got a set of three Karts (Wario's, DK's, and Mario's W/ Shell) in a lot with 2 DKC figures of eBay
I'm Missing:
Normal Mario Figure
1 of Wario's Red Shells
Luigi's Belt and Steering Wheel (That's a nail in place of it)
I Have duplicates of:
DK's Kart W/ Belt
Wario's Kart W/ Belt
Bowser's Figure

I'm going to do a video review of the whole set after schools out.

Still laughing at how retro the NES satellite looks XD

[Bear78]

Nice pickup. Scat is worth about $60 on its own.

Yeah....had no clue on the value until I looked it up after the fact.  Can anyone comment as to why the value is actually up there for this particular title?
