August 2019 Pickups: Unnecessary But (hopefully) Awesome

[Megatron]

It was brought to my attention that July is over...so I'll re-post this here.

Proof that good deals still exist...although they are definitely few and far between these days.

Saw this posted for a whopping $10.  I was able to grab it within minutes of its posting, otherwise somebody else would be posting on a forum about it.






And yes, it is complete.  It's just enclosed in a jewel case with a black insert tray.

I also posted this in July's thread by mistake, so I'll move it here.

A few decent TG-16 games traded in at Retro Games Plus.  Paid $93 for the 3 - not an amazing deal by any means but all are in very good condition (the Raiden manual is nearly flawless), and the cases are excellent with sleeves included.  I'm especially fond of the TG-16 port of Raiden.  I owned it back when I was a kid, and I think it's the best non-CD home version (Raiden Project for PS1 is arcade perfect).

Also found Area 51, Road Rash CIB & Shadow Dancer CIB - paid $60 total for the 3.

Good thread title and score!


Yeah, they definitely exist. I grabbed that copy of Pro Golf 64DD last year for $19, and from a seller on eBay who sells nothing but retro games.

Just gotta have those saved eBay searches and whatnot AND be on it like flies on shit!

First off, MO Game Con (STL) was over the weekend.  Had a great time and found some great stuff!  Here was my haul:



Next, I hit a local toy show on Sunday and again, found some good deals:



And lastly, I went by my parents house where I dug out my childhood LEGO!

August so far has been really good to me. I got 2 Televisions 32 inch 1080p for free (one for the wife's Craft room) and the other for THIS!

YAY Tate Mode for shmups!

This I got from Amazon for an amazing deal


Finally got a deal on FB marketplace for a Computer for my Arcade machine that I am going to build.



AMD FX 6300 Six-Core processor @3.50 GHZ
32 GB of DDR3 Ram
Gigabyte 970A-DS3P Motherboard
All for $50
Very happy with this one.

And finally I got my hands on this game.



Surprisingly it is hard to find in my area. So when I saw it at 2nd & Charles, I grabbed it up.


I hope everyone has a Great August for collecting!

I got all this stuff for the low price of standing outside in 37C (98F for that small subsector of the world) and 48% humidity for the 10 minutes it took me to pack my bag from his vehicle 

Guy was getting rid of stuff his kids didn't want to keep and I got this stuff... Unfortunately most of the games are... well they were owned and used by kids... some of them look like they played air hockey with them... going to try to resurface them when I get home from Korea and see if I can get them working again.

I don't know why my pictures are so big...

I don't know why my pictures are so big...

I use Mediafire to host all my images and it has a share option for resizing for forums.
You may want to try them, it is free until you run out of space.

I got a Soul Calibur arcade machine! Yay!

[Arseen]

Got my NES Micro Mages few days ago.

It came with cart, dust cover, box, manual, poster, 2 magnets, 2 stickers, music CD and string bag.

I can't take pictures as my work phone is being upgraded while I'm at holiday for 3 weeks.

Flea Market pick ups. Rocket and Puzzle Fighters were great finds and Caesars Palace is sealed. Also grabbed the Animal Crossing amiibo for $1 each just in case the new switch game supports them.
