Post everytime you buy something game related and your unbelievable deals

He's not obligated to post how much he got it for. The fact that he got that many units is in itself a steal.

 

Nice score, congrats

 

At Good Will yesterday, I found a RCA Dimensia with a SCART port on the back for 99cents. I've been searching for 3 years at thrifts stores to find one of these.:congratulatory:

 

Been 12 months now but I picked up a 15.4" Acer Laptop i5 2.27ghz, 8gb RAM, Radeon HD5470 GPU, for AU$40. Was practically brand new, bought it from Officeworks, (big retailer nationally in AU). It was a customer return labelled as "not working". Took out 1 RAM module, replaced it (AU$10, but i already had a spare) and boots like a dream

The guy even gave me a spare battery and a spare charger.

 

forgot to mention this one, bought a 360 Wireless adapter for pc yesterday from Cash Converters, (AU Pawn broker style stores), talked the sales guy down to $2 from the asking price of $15, cause he didnt even know what it was.

 

Bought a Gran Turismo 4 First Preview Demo for ¥ 1 !!! Just because auction's name was "Gran Turisno 4" instead of "Gran Turismo 4".
So don't forget to search for lots with a bit incorrect names. :smile-new:

Hello,

I want to share one of my greatest transaction of this year.

An ultra64 Rev 2.0 board for 49.95usd !!!

Everything arrived in one piece and after some hours of study, the basic things are working like you see on my first bad picture....

 

You lucky lucky lucky man!!! I've been looking for an Ultra 64 board for a long time now and I'm sooo sooo jealous of you even finding one, let alone at such an incredible price! Well done and enjoy it!

 

Nice desktop!
What are the specs of the RiscPC?

 

Yeah, I was very lucky this time, the auction was only made 15min before I bought it. But I think it only arrived one time per year in the best case....

Unclejun : This is my SGI desk, the only non SGI machine (apart my laptop) is this RISC PC600. It's a classic config, ARM6 at 30mhz, 32mb of ram, 4Gb Compact flash to replace to old HDD (pretty fast loading..), but I have the 2Mb VRAM upgrade so I can use my LCD at 1024x768 256color or more. It also have an Ethernet card and an Eagle M2 video/audio digitizer board. I use RiscOS 3.6. I plan to add a Strong Arm processor sooner and maybe a 486 PC card.

 

I recently got Pocket Reversi (NGPC) for $3 loose. It seems to be one of the rarer games on the system

 

Well really awesome! I payed 10x more for my SGI... And i think was also a good price at all. So really great deal you made!!
My Indy use the R5000 with lates RiscOS, what is a "486er PC card"? Sounds great ^^

 

The U64 board is inside my second Indy. It's a R4400 175Mhz / XL24 with 128Mb ram running Irix 5.3. I have a R5000 machine but I was unable to find my Irix 5.3 for R5000 Processor install CD's....

If I remember correctly, early Irix release have some basic things / concept that come from old Risc/OS distribution.

The 486 card (586, 386 or Cirix model exist) is a small board for the Acorn RISC PC to run MS Dos, Windows 3.1 and 95 software and OS. The board have a PC processor etc...

I have a two slices RiscPC with a StrongArm 200MHz and an IBM 5x86 card (the ACA57), running RiscOs 4.39.
Bought recently a RiscOS 6i disc, but haven't had the time to mess with it yet.
No Vram upgrade though...
Also have an Acorn 7000 lying in a box, crushed by the weight of an Alpha 433u.
I have a thing for computers with x86 compatibility cards (Acorn, Apple, Sun).
Jackhead, you're confusing RiscOS with IRIX.

 

Forgot about this one.....

A while ago an electronics store over here in Australia, Dick Smith had a big gaming sale...

All new stuff

I got a DSi-XL for $40
Red Dead Redemption $3.50 (PS3)
Brutal Legends $5 (PS3)
XBOX360 MW3 320gb edition for $300 (retail was around $500 at the time) replaced my launch console which I gave to my nephew, so I suppose he scored well too.
Deus EX for $10 a

and a few other $5-10 games as well.

 

Dunno if this counts, but I think it's at least a nice bargain that I got this morning. I set my alarm clock at 4:45 for it although I just went to sleep at 3:45... ~_~


+ loose Hardware (AV Famicom, oldschool lightgun, yellow Hudson joystick, trackball, the two Hyper Olympics controllers)

29 games & hardware for a mere 18500yen ($240).

Games include

Donkey Kong JR no Sansuu Asobi (looks like it's in fairly good condition?)
raf World
Meta Fight
Metal Storm
Argos no Senshi
Super Arabian
1942 & 1943
Gomokunarabe (Ginhako/silverbox edition)
Duck Hunt/Wild Gunman/Hogan's Alley
Rainbow Islands

The rare games by IREM/Sunsoft/Nintendo look all like they are in pretty neat condition, and I've been on the lookout for a boxed DKJ Math (Sansuu Asobi) for AGES. The last one I saw in similar boxed condition went for 6500yen over a year ago... and considering I just bought a Popeye's English Asobi, it fits in the picture.

Man, I never thought I'd get so many of my most-wanted at once, lol. Metal Storm, Meta Fight, Raf World and DKJ Math have been on my Must-Buy-List for around 2 years, no kidding. O_O
