Gotta get that Gex money, I suppose, lol.
I'd settle for whatever I can find, but if I could choose, it'd likely be Fire Attack. The black, orange, and silver color scheme are striking; it's a hinged model; I've never played the game before; the screen looks interesting even when the system is off.

Love a good freebie find. The laser printer I use was thrown out. Still haven't had to replace the toner in several years of using it for shipping labels lol.

What model? I need a new printer.

I've been trying to collect G&W units myself. Not counting those mini keychain variants, I have Mario Bros, and Donkey Kong II and two Russian Bootlegs of Egg and Chef.
It's a small part of my collection I hope to build up one day, but I've never found any locally. All 4 came from the internet.

It's black and white only so it might not be suitable for your needs but the model is Laserjet Pro 400. With this one I can tell why it was thrown out but since I'm only printing shipping labels it's perfect for me.

I don't think I've ever seen a Game and Watch for sale locally either come to think of it.

Gypsy wrote:
Thanks. I generally don't need to print color, so it'd probably be fine. Will look it up.

Just curious, why was it thrown out?

Someone broke something off in one of the wired connector ports so it can only connect via wireless network mode which doesn't always like to play nice.

I found one randomly on a table at a flea market in 2008ish (it was Mario Bros ... my first one ... )

I haven't seen one for sale in person (not counting at a convention) since ... all of mine (now 16) have all come from eBay .. and maybe 2 from here...

Not sure if there any board game collectors in the group, but I picked up a copy of The Dark Tower, The Omega Factor and a D&D 1980's cartoon spinoff board game called Quest for the DungeonMaster (open but unused). The Dark Tower is missing a few piece and the electronic tower doesn't work. I also, picked up a couple of Genesis console boxes for $65 total.

GameBoy Micro for sale here locally. Has pmkn emerald and I think charger too. Asking $180

Jealous of a lot of these hauls. If I’m lucky, I’m able to get a rare PS3 lot before some other guy does from FB marketplace…as long as I’m willing to travel to New Jersey

I haven't had many finds lately, between the terrible storms destroying everything at the flea markets for two weeks in a row, and a general lack of money (plus me spending time cleaning the house for family reasons), I did manage to snag something at SwapADVD.

So there's a thread there where people offer movies at a reduced credit cost, or bundled with other free things if you ask for a disc set. A trader there put up Die Hard 1 to 3, with a free Die Hard 4.

And I've been trying to get a cheap copy of Die Hard 4 for months.

So I ordered the set and got them delivered during the week. The trader had a laugh at me saying that I only got this for Die Hard 4, not the others.

But why? Well, it turns out DH4 has an exclusive Bluray game. I haven't dug into it much but there's an intro by Kevin Smith and it kinda feels like he was forced to do this. The first level is a Metal Gear Solid-esque flash-style game. Try playing that with a remote, it's impossible. I need to get a PS3...

Found a bc PS3, guy is asking $100 but it’s missing the slot cover, hdd, but comes with the original box and most of the packaging, just no hdmi

Foxhack wrote:


Is there video of this anywhere? Specifically the Kevin Smith part .. given that he and Bruce have a notoriously bad relationship.

Nope. Bluray games are notoriously undocumented. There's one dude on Youtube that has done tons of DVD Games, but it's all kids stuff.

If I ever get started on this project I'll be the first guy to talk about these games. XD

got my riddick game in the mail today. Just browsing some other deals, but have no real drive right now, so sharing another one. This one seems way too good to be true, box games, and all of em. Though people move and treat games as junk. Maybe i should have tried. When I got some energies to burn into effort, I'll get on to multiplying the effects to get me a-rolling and feeling jolly.

in Rhode Island, but Wow wow, Hot Deal if Legit. I did get taken once, but paypal immediately refunded my money. I'll get back into it lol

Have these gone up that much? I was thinking about unloaded my MGS4 PS3 which is CiB (the game might be gone) since RDR is on Switch. RDR Is the only reason I've held onto it.

I am ... so out of my room in my damn office ... but picked this up from a local neighbor today.

He bought it down south at some beach, dude custom carved them. He paid $80, sold to me for $20!

It's surprisingly heavy.

That's amazing. Wood?

According to my neighbor, the guy made it out of fish bone. He found it while on his honeymoon in Mexico.

Oh yeah, people from down South used to come here during the winter and sell off similar statues. Some even do it during our yearly Fiestas del Sol fair, which starts up next week. (I haven't gone to it since before Covid, though.)

I doubt that's "fish bone", especially if you say it's surprisingly heavy. Would be interesting to find out what it is though.

Looks like sandstone or something similar. Nice crotch shot.

Google is crap at letting me search for this, but this might actually be a sort of resin sculpture.

Here's one that's been painted in full color. It seems to be mostly the same cast, except for the base, which is now an Aztec Calendar for some reason.

Your friend got ripped off. But you paid a good price for it. XD

MrBean wrote:
Wow. Great carving skills.

@Foxhack I dunno man, even at $80, feels insanely worth it, especially in comparison to modern statues. I'd easily pay $200+ for this if I saw it for the first time in person. For $20 though? I'm stoked.

I messaged the guy and told him drinks on me. Come over with his kids as I owe him some high end bourbon or wine.

Each movie is brand new and sealed and was $1.50

image
These were $4 each and seem to be foreign releases. Vehicle Force Voltron is new and sealed.

@Porksta Yeah, those Voltron sets are Australian (PAL R4.) Neat stuff. Australians got a lot of cool releases like that.

Work has been dead, so I traveled a bit further than I normally do when thrifting to give myself something to do this week. Glad I did:

image
Everything here for about $20, the Fraggle Rock sets are sealed.

image
Everything here for about $25. Star Wars sets are sealed.
Bought Unsane because it was a movie I remember seeing trailers for and it looked interesting. I tend to buy most 4k movies I come across in thrift stores. Cashier rang it up for $5 and I contemplated not buying it. Glad I stuck with it as it seems to be OOP and worth a bit.

Been a minute since I posted so here's some catch up:

This is from Saturday a few weeks ago. Uncharted was $5 and the NES Classic was actually free! I offered money but the seller was just trying to declutter, so I promised to pay it forward.

image

A buddy clued me in about a friend of his who's a major collector but trying to downsize. I figured the sale would be a zoo, but since it was only posted to friends on Facebook it was nowhere near as busy as I feared. There was a lot of pricey stuff there, but I walked away with some good stuff plus I exchanged numbers with the guy for his next sale. On the way back home I stopped by a local community sale and picked up a few more gaming gewgaws. Got everything in the pic for $115, which I'm pretty happy about.

image

And lastly, I finally had someone from a yard sale who said they'd get back to me about video games follow through! This lot came from another local collector who was trying to downsize. He did flat pricing for everything so I was able to grab a whole bunch of good stuff for $250. It's not in the best condition, but the price was definitely right and I spent last weekend cleaning and testing.

You win this week

Never heard of that starshot n64 game before, interesting.

lightslime wrote:

Yeah, same here, and my general rule is if it's cheap and I've never heard of it I grabs it. Turns out it's a rarer game so that's cool, but I fired it up the other day and it is...not great. It's a really clunky 3-D platformer with pretty dull graphics and sound.

Gildon_Dancypants wrote:

Starshot has been on my list of games to pick up. If you decide to sell or trade it off, drop me a message.

Well, I shared a deal that no one picked up, and I had time, thought why not, but 1.5 hours from here to there by bus than subway with another subway in another direction than another bus. Stopped on the way back and got some food. The biggest game there was Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition for pc. I thought I could put it up for at least $120 CAD, but now I see the gh version for ps3 at around $30, and the EU edition of it for around $30 too. But now there's only one with doubled of another game, for $65 or so. Than got 2 batman games, they're ALL NEW AND SEALED. But I dunno if I'm overvaluing the game, prob you'd agree, espec since it's not US, but Canada edition, where there's english/french writing. Got out of the house, smoked less, ate what I prob smoked less lol. Now gotta catch up. All 3 games for $20. Not bad, but also spent 6.60 in fare, but did get some weed, and would have to prob spend at least one just for that. Still borrowing money, life's pretty clunky and crunky, so time to get crunked. Later.

Probably my last yard sale of the year, did pretty well. Got everything for about $15:

Unfortunately I did not look at L4D2 before buying it, disc is covered in copper/red splotches. Never seen it before, but I should be able to move the case and manual.

Full screen Star Wars... ick.

I helped my grandma clean junk out of her house on Thursday. She let me keep whatever I wanted. I found a few things and brought them home in Dad's old Commodore 64 box.
