    OMG!

    I just got a Panasonic 3do with two controllers and five games for ten bucks at a yard sale! the games I got were
    Gex
    Need For Speed
    Street Fighter 2 Turbo
    Wing commander 3 Heart of the tiger
    and
    Shockwave
    so yeah its pretty cool but really REALLY dusty. the people selling it said they didn't even remember that they had it and they found it in their attic and I guess it hadn't been touched in ten years....when I pressed open to open up the disk tray a ton of dust came flying out right in my face

    At any rate, finding it at a yard sale for a tenner is always good. Nice find bro.

    EDIT: And also, just because you didnt find one at any game stores by you doesnt mean its rare. I called a few stores around me and found 2 stores that have a 3do. They want like $50 bucks for them though.

    You've got to be joking. I can go down to the local store and buy 5 if I wanted to. Maybe nobody in your area never bought one when they were new?

    Now that's a good deal. Too bad it's still shit at the center of it all.

    Found a sweet deal on Craigslist.

    Contra: Hard Corps (complete)
    Rocket Knight Adventures (complete)
    Perfectly fine, working Saturn with all the cords, 11 cruddy games
    2 N64 controllers, 3 memory cards, 2 rumble packs
    NES controller, zapper, and SMB/Duck Hunt

    All for $20. Some other random stuff mixed in there too. Surprising part is, it all works fine.

    Wow today was an awesome day. Some guy brought in a bunch of Colecovision and Atari 2600 games CIB, and at the store we don't give much at all for them since we only sell them 50 cents a piece so I offered him $5 cash for the lot, and he was happy to even get that. <_< I just got done checking them on digit press's rarity guide, and I got a hell of a deal some of these are worth a bit!

    Colecovision all CIB:
    Venture
    Roc'n Rope (Most rediculous box art ever)
    Spectron (DP - worth $30 loose)
    Wing War (DP - worth $35 loose)
    Quest for Quintana Roo (DP - worth $25 loose)
    Time Pilot
    Mouse Trap
    Illusions (DP - worth $20 loose)
    Miner 2049er
    2010 (worth 15 loose, and creepy artwork)

    Atari 2600 all CIB (nothing too interesting):
    Starmaster
    Alien
    Phoenix
    Asteroids
    Berzerk
    Solaris
    Planet Patrol
    Infiltrate
    Tron: Deadly Discs

    The next items were awesome, it's part of a set of games created by Arcadia, later named Starpath. They use this device called the Supercharger which you connect to a cassette player. Then the games are on a cassette tape. Well I got the first five out of twelve games now, all complete in mint boxes.
    Some of the game names are also quite amazing.
    1. Phaser Patrol
    2. Communist Mutants from Space (Most amazing game name EVER!)
    3. Fireball
    4. Suicide Mission
    5. Escape from the Mindmaster

    loose all of these games would be worth $47 according to digit press. So I'd say it's a nice find especially for $5!

    Where'd ya find it? That's a heck of a snag. Been wanting to dip into the 3DO for a while now. I've found systems I was interested in, but never any games. You hit the mother load.

    Who managed to buy the NPDP-Reader and 7 (!!!) NPDP-Carts on ebay the other week for $600 BIN (or whatever it was) ?

    Now THAT is an unbelievable purchase. Going rate would be closer to $3000

    I saw that, it made me cry that I missed it by around 15 minutes. My heart stopped and everything.
