Yesterday, Grabbed 5 2600 carts from the same store I got my huge score a few weeks ago. All commons unfortunately. With the highest out of the lot I got today being a Rarity 3 according to Atari Age. Picked them up for 50 cents a piece.

Here's what I got:
Golf
Bowling
Target Fun
Frogger (Parker Brothers)
Planet Patrol (Spectravision)

I can't really complain on what I got. Apart from Target Fun, I didn't have any of the carts. All the labels are pretty good condition.

Though I have to re-adhere the label back on to the Frogger cart. It fell off when I got it.


I also got 2 Musicmate Modular Tape Organizer modules which the games were in. Paid 50 cents for both of them.

More gaming finds(mostly Xbox), and retrieving my Sega collection from home:

A few weeks ago, I found sealed copies of Resistance II: Fall of Man (PS3) for $4 each. Bought 2, should've bought more.

Today, I found sealed copies of:
Sly Cooper (PS2) - $5
Sly Cooper 2 (PS2) - $10
Sly Cooper 3 (PS2) - $5
Williams Pinball (PS2) - $5

I found some old N64 video tapes for 50 cents apiece. Not sure what they're all about, but they were cheap, so hey.

I also found a working Super Joy III with AV cable and power brick for $4, the best find of all today.

20XX? Sounds like a megaman game! lol.

Went thrift store hopping today and found a few things:

Salvation Army had three You Don't Know Jack games for $1 each; Original, Offline, and TV.

I grabbed a copy of Journey's 'Escape' album. (Columbia 37408) It's complete with the original shrink wrap and liner, and it's in like-new condition. Worth the 2 bucks.

Savers had a copy of Three Dog Night's 'Coming Down Your Way' for a buck, also in almost-new shape and complete with liner and shrink wrap. (The plastic's kind of messed up though.)

Savers also had a 1995 VHS copy of A New Hope, but I didn't get it because it was missing its protective tape door and the tape looked pitiful. (It's the pre-"Special Edition" version from before George Lucas messed around with it too much.)

Probably the most interesting thing I found was a promotional 45 of The Safety Dance. It has the short version on one side and the long version on the other, and I got it in a plain white sleeve, but the catalog number is the same as the retail version which had Living in China as the B side. I can't find anything relevant to it online.

I was record hunting the other day. at the goodwill I found a bunch of 45s. i got les paul, john denver, teresa brewer, the byrds, hermen's hermits, herb albert, the carpenters, bing crosby, and wayne newton all for $5.

at the salvation army, I got frank sinatra, monkees, and herb albert albums. Then, when I was almost done looking through the box of records I found a factory sealed 1984 12" single picture disc copy of duran duran's "The Reflex" and "The Reflex dance mix". I got that for 99 cents. One hell of a deal, I'll say. I am not opening it either, btw.

Nothing so good as that, but...

I did find a PC joypad that's a real treat:


The d-pad is basically a big flush-mounted analog stick. Absolutely fabulous feel to it. Might crack it open and check its resistance.

Was $2, boxed.
