June 2014 - Recently Added to Collection/Recently Purchased

So over the weekend we did pretty good. Mostly a ton of DS games from a huge neighborhood sale in our area, such as Diddy Kong Racing DS, sealed, for $1.

But today at the flea market, a lady had "The Nintendo double player" complete in the box for 20 bucks. I guess they go for that much, sometimes as high as forty, so it wasn't a great deal. But these wireless controllers are surprisingly good! As long as you have clear line of sight to the sensor, it's very responsive. I played through wood man's stage on Megaman 2 as a test and I didn't have any problems other than the cat going in front of the sensor lol.

I'm incredibly impressed with these wireless Nintendo controllers. Pretty amazing tech for late 80s!

So I am not the Flea by any chance, but I thought I did good today.  I also did my very first ever Craigslist buy.  I was so nervous.  Around here on the news, people get killed for buying and selling on Craigslist, but thankfully I made this one.  The first photo is from thrifting and the second is Craigslist.

The Windwaker-Box and Manual only 1.00 (goodwill)
Twilight Princess Fully Complete and disc in new looking condition 1.00 (goodwill)
Wii Sports box and manual only 50 cent (goodwill)  I am taking donations for the game lol
Sword of Mana Game Boy Advance 8.00 (pawn shop)
Pokemon Platinum DS 10.00 (pawn shop)
Pokemon Red Dungeon Mystery FREE (a family member gave it to me)

Second Photo was from my first Craigslist buy.  Entire lot was 20 dollars.  I was happy on that one

That N64 lot is nice!

Dude!  Nice haul. It was a good weekend for you.

That N64 lot IS nice, but I'm most jealous of that Gamecube Twilight Princess - that's one I've been looking for for a while now.

Thanks guys.  I am more shocked than anything.  Any time I have ever messaged anyone on Craigslist, they respond quickly saying "already sold".  I actually messaged them the other day about this and they sent me a text today saying the other person did not show and asked if i wanted these so we met up.  I was very surprised.  I'm still very skeptical about doing sales with Craigslist tho.  Very scary stuff.

What I really wonder is why they sold that lot for 20 bucks.  The lady said they got the games and a system for 30 at a garage sale and the system did not work so she sold that and was selling the games separately.  There is even a 15.00 price tag on banjo kazooie.  I did not believe it at first but I walked away with the games

I enjoyed the demo of Xblaze, but be warned that it's much more watching an anime than it is playing a game.  There's even a button to let the text auto advance as they speak so that you don't have to keep pushing the button for that.

No.   But I believe it is one of the rare DC games to come by so it's a very nice collector's get. 

And we all know Disgaeniac has his black-market video game sources.  He isn't fooling anyone.
