Speak of your great yard sale deals!

Here in Japan I got a Pentium4 mobo with 128mb DDR400 RAM, 2 800mb harddrives, some older drives, a 20gig HDD, a CD-rom drive, various fans, 3 Pentium 1 CPUs, and a heatsink: free. Got it from one of the teachers who doesnt want to buy a CPU. So I get to sell it to some dude and build a computer for about 500USD. I get about $100 extra in my pocket.
I also got a Japanese bamboo flute for free (hand made and usually very expensive). beatmania with case and correct disks about 50cents.
I could have gotten a WORKING Xbox for about $32 but when I went to get it (after going to the local post offices ATM) it was gone.
I have a lot more, I just cant think of them right now.

When in Japan with access to just about every system ever made and those that have yet to see international soil, gather your forces, and make the cool ones your own.

WOW!!
DarkSavant0, you're making me jealous!
Just finding one sealed SNES game nowadays is almost impossible!
My best finds are:
Complete NES Toploader-$15
Megaman X2 Complete in box-$10 (Worth over $60 on ebay)
2 SNES Mini's 2 NES's 7 SNES games and other miscellaneous parts for $28 (On Ebay believe it or not!)
Final Fantasy III-$5
Lufia II-$2
Can't think of any more at the moment.

Oh and I think space shuttles (the remaining 2) run off 386 CPU's... Something about the CPU's have to be tested for resistance to gamma rays, so newer stuff is not certified.
The Voyager spacecraft (see Star Trek: The Motion Picture) run off old 8-bit RCA CPU's same as the RCA Studio 2, so go figure.
Space is a a cruel mistress!

Or they could all have one of those processors. At any rate, you couldn't give any pcs using those processors away to homeless bums in the Bronx, they're so bad.
All of those PCs ran early versions of DOS or CP/M, possibly Unix.
oh and as for the deals come across
phantasy start 2 and 4 for 2 bux
gunstar heroes for 50cents
"broken" segacd 1 dollar. dude said it was dead, and let me tell you i was never so happy about a videogame not powering up. it just told me there was a blown resistor.

I'm talking about those unwashed guys who live on railroad tracks and beg for money in the subways. You know, the guys who wear about 50 tattered shirts at a time? I didn't mean to offend anyone.EpsilonMirror wrote:HEY!!! I live in the bronx.
