Post everytime you buy something game related and your unbelievable deals

Scored two untested Neo Geo CD Toploader units at Hard-Off the other week.

Got an AC adapter and a board and tested them, both work just fine.

Price? 300 yen (approx $3) each.

 

My legs party 3do beta came in the same case as another 3do jap photo cd. I did pay quite a bit for the one game/photo cd, but the regular version of that legs party game sells for a bloody fortune, so I reckon I came off quite well. Score! I also got a 3do majhong game that was very rare quite cheap, simply because it came up wrong on the till! It was priced at 18000 yen and it came up on the till as 6000 ish. Lucky I was buying a huge pile of games otherwise they might have noticed.

Other than that traditional Japan priced stuff like-
3DO, arcade stick, VCD card all boxed for 3700 ish yen.
White saturn, memory card, 3d controller and extra controller, all white and boxed for under 3000 yen. I wan't going to get in originally as I was carrying so much stuff already, but I thought - oh what the hell!

 

I got a free Sega Master System, along with games, controllers and cables.

 

Mortal Kombat 1 JAMMA PCB, for the cost of postage

9 arcade buttons, with microswitches, free

Dead SNES, 2 used PSX controllers, 1 new in box, for the cost of postage

 

i got 5 labeled "dead and broken" DVD Players, switched drives and now i have 2 working players and 3 damn cool cases

 

I needed a controller port for a PS2 and some parts for my saturn debug yesterday, so i went down to the local indy shop and told him what i needed. He said he'd just sell me a PS2 unit with a bad laser. He threw in a saturn that didn't work for free. Grand total: 15 bucks. I got home and tested the PS2, it's beat all to hell, but it works fine. The saturn just had a loose ribbon cable, after i plugged that in it worked fine. So i walked away with a saturn and a PS2 for $15.

 

I don't know if it's anything amazing, but I was quite happy to pick up Super Magic Drive 8MBIT unit with external floppy drive (SEGA Genesis/Megadrive backup, can play many SMS games as well) for 3$CA in local Goodwills.

 

Got a free Adaptec 2940AU SCSI card when helping someone to move. He was going to trash his old computer and I noticed it was a SCSI card in it so I took it

so hopefully I don't have to buy a SCSI card in the future

 

brand new psp lcd screenf or 40shipped! no dead pixels too, it was kinda hard to install, i almost die :"(

 

Got a free Silent Scope (DC) yesterday.

 

I think the best deals I ever got were courtesy of this website called "Pointclick" back in the late 90's. They used to pay you a fraction of a cent or something like that for each time you clicked on one of the links on their website which you could cash in for gift certificates and such. I ended up using a macro program and just making it go through and click all the links while I slept. After about a month I had enough points to get myself $200 in Toys'R'Us bucks (which bought me a brand spankin' new Sony Playstation) and also got me a new motherboard and processor from some online computer store.

 

back in the days when internet was something cool

 

IT Would be Miracle if assembler would FINISH the trade he was doing with me because he got my stuff but his stuff is overdue by 2 weeks and i was going to give them to my younger brother and my roommate before i get SHIPPED OUT TO IRAQ on the 19th of december..................

 

Hmm...looks like he's sick right now, which might be a reason why. Man, hope you do alright out there.

 

Your signature needs to be made much shorter! Otherwise ill have to do it later.

Thanks

 

Well... it seems like miracles do happen:

1: ps2 action replay max drive "2 discs, thumbdrive" - 2.99
2: Gamecube gameboy player - .49
3: gameboy advance gameshark "it looks like the newer model - 99cents.
