Post everytime you buy something game related and your unbelievable deals

Nice, I've been to Yeovil car boot sale 3 weekends in a row with a PS2 on my shopping list. Not seen one yet, only Xbox's.

 

Proof positive that haggling is your friend, that 'knowing your salt' about a particular product can help you blag a good deal - and it's always to have a group of friends with you so you can turn £10 notes into shrapnel to make it easier to offer exact figures!

Patience is a virtue - this is probably the first PS2 I've seen at a car boot.
You'll find the best deals and the good stuff at one-off car boots - regular car boots mean you commonly get regular car-booters!
Finally, Keep your eyes peeled and move fast! There's more than likely at least 3 other people at the car boot who want what you want.

 

i took a boxed pal psx for free from a person at my University cause he prefered to give it to me than throw it away.
Also one PS2 for free again from a friend of mine who had two.. O_O
And lastly the other day i bought the rare european pocket reversi game (Neo Geo Pocket Color) for about 27 bucks shipped which costs approx 60-70$ loose.

 

Well I was at work today and we had a lady come in with a large bag of 2600 games. My manager just said we could give her $10 for them, which was a lie since they trade in for a few cents a piece. Me and him just put $5 each in the drawer after she left, and took turns picking games. I got 16 games total and one of them was a game I'd never seen before. It's called Harbor Escape and it's made by Panda Inc. Looked it up on Digit Press and it turns out to be a clone of River Raid worth about $40. So I was happy. :icon_bigg

thanks man, I always look for nice buys.

looks like I might be also tradin my 1975 Oldsmobile Delta 88 convertible for a 1973 Plymouth `Cuda. I'll post those details later if the trade really happens or not.

I was just going through and cleaning up the discs from finger prints, etc and inside the case of jeopardy was also "WWF Rage In The Cage" so add another game to the list.

 

Just picked up a rare speech recognition board for an old TI Professional PC (circa 1984) and a TI-99/4 (The rare older version, not the 4a) for $10 at a local electronics flea market.

 

Best deals ever :

Knucles Chaotix and Kolibri for the Sega 32x : 1€ each box and manual for both (pal)
Bunck of NES games, boxed with manual in excellent condition :
Castlevania I & 3, Ghouls and Ghost, Faxanadu, Ice Climber, Lifeforce and so on (only good titles) aroud 15 games for 20€ (pal versions)

 

I just got a decent lot of NES and SNES carts for $2 at a garage sale... I'm pretty sure they are really worth around $145!

 

Earthbound for $10 at a flea market.
Nearly perfect condition Sega CD with Robo Aleste and Lords of thunder for $30 the next day.
Boxed copies of: DK Country 3, Top Gear, Jurassic Park for $5 each
Loose Contra 3, Super Mario All Stars, and Mystical Ninja for $3.

Complete Mario is Missing! (IBMPC) for $1.29

 

I just got a mint top loader NES with 5 boxed games for 50 bucks.

Finally can sell the old toaster now .

 

Just got a boxed copy of The Jetsons - Cogwells Caper :drool: Box, cartridge and manual are in very good condition. Paid about 30$

Sometimes it can be yours for about 550$ on auction sites like Tradera ;-)

 

Free fat PS2 under the condition it would not read games. they told me if i could fix it i could have it and if not i could still have it. stripped it and it must of been dropped or something parts of the lazer assembly are missing/broken. but it doesnt matter i can keep it for spares and repairing.

 

Hello! I dont know if this belongs here (because i dont know if its a bargain or not), so its your turn to judge:

PAL boxed Sega Dreamcast online pack + AV cable + VMU +8 PAL Mint boxed GAMES which are:

Sonic, Gta 2, Chuchu Rocket, Blue Stinger, Rainbow six, Confidential Mission, Hidden & Dangerous, Spec Ops 2 OmegaSquad

For 80 euro SHIPPED.

and one Nintendo 64 Ique with 2 preloaded Games (Dr Mario, F-Zero) +
5 time limited versions for 63,58 Euro Shipped.

 

Hope your video output isn't as crappy as mine's. Also, enjoy RF.

 

You can easily mod them you know. And quite honestly, i dont mind RF on a standard TV.

Either way it's better than not being able to play my games at all. AV cables are great and all, but if the picture looks like crud because the cart isn't ever being read properly, what's the point?
