i just found today at a thrift store Pacman CIB for the atari

nurd

Just something in it needs to be replaced.
I don't know what it is, but it just doesn't play games. It gets an error or something. It can play Music Cds, though.

Har the cat

A thrift store is like a pawn shop, right?

Our pawn shop has things waay overpriced.
Tengen Nes Skull N Bones (or whatever it's called) and they wanted like $20 for it :p

MaxXimus

Its like a second hand shop, like a good will or a pawn shop.

nurd

Ug. Our goodwill is horrible.

It's weird, everything is overpriced.
At goodwill.  :-\

Yeah, the norms are overpriced, but the rares aren't because they don't know what they're doing at the thrift stores. Got dragon quest V in great condition for $1.50, and I got that, um, why can't I think of that exercise game's name for $3.50 with the controller plug. Oh, yeah racermate.

But yeah, I also paid 3.50 for a smb/dh because I wanted my first glop top.

I got a Sega Genesis(v2) with 13 carts (one is a 6-1) and 4 controls for $45 out of a Buy and Sell magazine. The RF switch seems to be broken though, so I am going to go on ebay and get an AV cord.

Well, around my place, there are lots of garage sales in the summer, so every year during the summer I depart from my house with 40$, my bicycle and an empty school bag, and I bike around my city to find games in garage sales. By doing this I found MANY games for VERYcheap prices. Here are games and stuff I found in garage sales around my place;

Earthbound Complete in Box (SNES) - 5$
Mario Paint Brand New (SNES) - 3$
Two Sega Dreamcast systems - 1$ for both
Intellivision 2 with lots of boxed games ( about 25 games) -3$
Famicom pirate carts (Contra, Kung-fu, Mario 3, 76-1) - 5$
Super Mario 2 lost levels Famicom pirate - 3$
Boxed near mint NES Power Set - 10$
Lots and LOTS of NES games - about 5$ for 15 games
Game & Watch Mario Bros. - 3$
Game & Watch Snoopy Tennis - 50 cents
Game & Watch Goldcliff and Popeye tabletop - 5$ each
Virtual Boy system with 10 games! - 25$
Sega Game Gear with Sonic 2 game - 3$
2 Boxes filled with Coleco systems, sega genesis systems, Sega Master systems and LOTS of various games for various consoles ( most for Sega Genesis though) - 10$

The list could go on and on, but yeah I think i'll stop that to there! ;D

Do you have an extra working Sega Genesis RF switch or AV cable (preferable AV) you'd be willing to sell for cheap. I need one, and ebay prices aren't that good. ($12)

Sorry  MaxXimus, I just looked through my Sega Genesis stash and for some reason I couldn't find even ONE RF or AV cable! All I kept finding were AC adaptors and controllers...yeah, weird :( But I'm gonna look some more later and if ever i find one I'm gonna let you know ;)
