Off Topic / Re: Un-Allowed Media

« on: August 20, 2023, 04:19:22 pm »

The only media I was not allowed at a young kid was Horror movies.
So my brother and I used to create our own by drawing comic style books in our notepads.
Then when I finally got to see a horror movie I was disappointed because they went as F'ed up as what we drew. lol

Holy Final Fantasy Batman, I had a great day at the garage sales this weekend.
A huge Final Fantasy lot and a giant lot of Japanese games plus the first time finding a Limited Run Game at a game sale.

SWITCH
First I find a Switch brand new sealed for $7 I didn't have in my collection.
- Nickelodeon Kart Racers
I talk to the guy about video games and he says he has some NES stuff. He goes inside and brings out...
- NES system (no hookups) and one controller.
- NES MAX Controller
- Game Genie
- Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt x2
- Hogans Alley
I ask a price and he says $10 and I can't go wrong with that price.

N64
Another sale I ask about video games and the guy says he has some N64 games, I was excited and he brings out one game.
- FIFA 64
He was told by his wife that was the only game they could sell. Meh it was only $1.

NES
Another sale I ask about games and the guy said he had an NES and could only sell a few games his kids didn't want to play.
He brings out three games and a Zapper.
- Hogans Alley
- John Elway's Quarterback Football
- Platoon
He only wanted $7 for the lot and I figured sure.

Next I stop at a sale where it was obvious he was a Flea Market vendor. I see a bunch of video games out for sale from NES, SNES, PS2, XB360 etc..
I was all overpriced sports games but then I find one PS4 game mixed with the PS2 stuff. It was a Sealed Limited Run game. He had $18 on it.
I get him to except $16. When I first saw it I thought, do I have this game? But its the alt cover of Streets of Rage 4.
- Bare Knuckle IV

I find a sale and I see some 360 games, ask a price and was told $3 each, nothing I wanted of needed then I see a box under the table I pull it out and I was shocked to see it full of Japanese Nintendo games. I asked a price and the guy was asking $100 for the whole box. I ask what he wanted for each game and he tells me he was only selling it as a lot, $100. I try to get a lower price but he wouldn't budge, he was firm at $100. I count the carts and find there where 59 games, making them a little under $2 a piece ($1.69 to be exact). So I just pay the man and figured it would be fun going though these and see what was all in this box.

I stop at a sale and ask about video games, The guy says he had some older Nintendo games. Of course say I'd love to see what he had.
He brings out a large tub and when he opens it my eyes lit up. There was NES system and games, Best piece was Final Fantasy, The there was a SNES system and games including a Final Fantasy II in the box. Rest where loose carts. And a Game Boy Advance SP with some BOXED games and a few loose games.
I first ask a price for everything but he acting like he didn't want to sell everything. He wouldn't give a price I offer a high price and he still wouldn't budge.
I finally pull out all the GBA stuff and ask could he at least sell this stuff and we agree at $190 for everything. I tried to get that Final Fantasy 2 in the box but he wouldn't sell. I was lucky to get what I did.

At first it looked like a common sorry no, but then the man starting thinking and asked? What kind of video games? I  tell him all kinds and he says interested in a Dreamcast? My eyes lit up and said yes and he invites me into his house to show me a Dreamcast hooked up to his TV. He tells me he tried to get his grandchildren to play it but they thought it was lame and stupid and old (lame kids lol) He then pulls out a box full of games. He then puts in a game and shows me it works and I was thinking I'm afraid to ask a price.... But after talking with this nice gentleman about games from the Dreamcast for a bit I ask so what would you sell everything for? He thinks a sec and says $150 okay? I paid the man and we continued to talk about video games, Dreamcast and other older systems.
Here's everything in this bundle...
DC
- Sega Dreamcast with all hookups and an off brand controller.
- A huge spool full of burned DC games (these are worthless but still fun to go through, a few are Japanese games)

And for some reason there was two PS1 games in the box.

Did some garage sales the last couple weeks and here's what I found...

I saw this with a bunch of books, for .25c
- Legend of Zelda Link to the Past book

Found a Frogger Plug and Play for $1.

As I walk up to a sale I see a box with a Wii in it with 3 remotes and 4 nunchucks and everything needed to run it.
I ask a price and was told $20.

At another sale I find a DJ Hero Renegade Edition with everything it should come with but the game for $8.
I ask about other video games and the guys says He had some Gamecube controllers. He comes back with 3 controllers, two Gamecube but in rough shape
and one a Switch Gamecube controller. Then he shows me a stack of loose Gamecube discs. They had some scratches on many of the discs.
I wasn't even sure to even make an offer, but the guy just tells me I can have them for free. Okay I can't say no to free. I'll see about resurface the ones worth
cleaning up. Here are the loose discs.
GC
- City Racer
- Marvel Nemesis
- WWE Day of Reckoning
- 007 Agent Under Fire
- ATV Quad Power Racing 2
- Batman Vengeance

I stop at a sale and bin full of handheld systems and other consoles. (PS1, PS2, Xbox, Xbox 360) but another buyer was getting those.
I look at a box that had random games in it and found these games for $1 each. I bought them Thinking I didn't have them.
NDS
- Squinkies 2
- Amazing Adventures: The Forgotten Ruins
PSP
- Patapon
- Lemmings

Not long after that sale I find one with Xbox One games out, But none where worth getting and they had them over priced.
I ask the lady about other games and she said no. I was about to leave when a young man walks out of the house. I ask him if he had any other video games to sell? and to my surprise he said You interested in a Gameboy? Of course I say yes and he brings out a Game Boy Color, some GBA games and a PSP.
After a little negotiating we both agree to $70 for everything.
PSP
- Sony PSP (2001) with charger in great shape.
- Madden NFL 08
- NBA 07
- Tony Hawk's Underground 2
- Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories
- Pineapple Express (movie)
- Without a Paddle (movie)
GBC

- Wario Land 3 (label bad shape)
GBA
Yu-Yu Yakusho: Spirit Detective
- Yu-Gi-Oh! The Sacred Stones
- Harlem Globetrotters
- X-Games Skateboarding
PS2
For some reason there was a PS2 Memory Card in the PSP case.

Next I hit a sale and ask about games and the guy points to a box under a table. I pull it out and see a SNES with several games, Game Boy Games and a PS2 with a stack of games.    I ask the seller what he wanted for it all and comes back with $500. 
Then shows me a list of prices for each game at ABOVE eBay prices. I was about to just leave but thought I'd try a bundle deal. I didn't want any of the PS2 stuff so I gathered all the SNES and Game Boy stuff. I ask if he'd take $200 just for all of that. But he wanted $275. ugh...
So I pulled out the Gameboy games and the SNES games worth getting and asked if he'd take $150 for the stack. He said $160 and I just paid him.
While not the best Garage sale deal, It still was good enough to get trade value from what I got.
SNES
- Super Mario World
- Super Mario World (with manual)
- Tetris 2 (with manual)
- NBA Jam TE (with manual)
- Legend of Zelda Link to the Past (with manual)
