Drat! I'm not going to be out that way anytime soon. Thanks for the heads-up, though.To all Pittsburgh CAGs, not video game related, but the RWB on 51 had an armory full of nerf guns and bags of bullets earlier today.
I didn't really check out the prices as I'm not at all interested in those, but they had tons.
You're on Okchiefs Facebook page, I saw this!
Savers lately have been complete busts, but the goodwills have been pretty kind, here are today's finds
Doctor Who Season 2 and 5( 5 is sealed) for 4.99 each
Power Puff Girls Season 1, 1.99
Gamecube controller, 3.99
Yellow N64 controller, 2.99
Superpad 64 controller red with box, 2.99
PSP system, Star Ocean First Departure, Second Evolution, Final Fantasy 20th anniversary, 39.99
Stoked for the PSP lot, as I've never owned and always wanted a PSP. Final Fantasy is missing manual, other games complete
Yellow N64 controller alittle loose on the analog, all controllers need alittle cleaning.
Had a 10 off credit, so whole lot was 10 bucks cheaper which was a nice bonus.
Every thrifter goes through this symptom and scenario: Find a cheap bad looking game, pass on it. Then check it later on, knowing they can at least make $8-10 bucks on the game if they flip it. After wallowing in self loathing for a day or two, they resolve to stop by again and buy it if its still there. The heavier the find drought, the more likely this will happen.Active Life Explorer looks like The Best Game Of All Time
Yeah, basically the game encourages you to play through it a few times to build up relationships with the hundreds of available characters (subsequent playthroughs retain the relationship logs). Good for those who like to replay RPGs, but so far that's not really me (except for PM TTYD).Is Radiata Stories that game with like 300 characters or something? I kept wanting to try it, but the more I read about it, the worst it sounded.
Spot goes to Hollywood sounds like it could be a gem as well.
Didn't someone else on here find the MM OST recently?Finds at the local thrifts in the last week or so:
And my favorite find, The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time 3D Official Soundtrack for 1.99
Completely acceptable as the wire may be the best show.. everNothing video game related, but I found the First season of The Wire yesterday for $3. Pretty stoked to watch it again.
Where the is Wallace, String?Completely acceptable as the wire may be the best show.. ever
Hehe yeah, I check out his videos, and joined his facebook group to see what others get out there, always enjoy seeing what others find.You're on Okchiefs Facebook page, I saw this!
Yep, that was me. I wonder what other stuff the donor gave away...Didn't someone else on here find the MM OST recently?
God... Jared was such a clutz with his games.
These games were $3 each. Labels are in bad shape but pretty decent price.
tg-16 would be a stroke inducing find for me, very nice find!Past few days have been decent for me, even videogame-wise.
360 Les Paul guitar for 2.99, in amazing condition.
Star Wars X-Wing Alliance PC for $2
A bunch of random toys and plush to resell
And today I decided to drop in since my daughter missed the bus and I had to drive her to school. Big finds of the day are a sealed Skylanders Bash (clear blue variant) for .99 and a console-only TG16, with King of Casino inside it. Console is a bit filthy and no idea if it works, but for $1.99 it was worth the chance.
I'm heading back over later today to see if they put out anything else for it.
Did you find any more goodies for that turbo? Haven't seen one of those in person in many years.I'm heading back over later today to see if they put out anything else for it.
Nope, nothing. And it sucks that controllers alone are going for $25+. Power and AV I can figure out otherwise, so I'm not too concerned there.Did you find any more goodies for that turbo? Haven't seen one of those in person in many years.
You definitely made the right decision there. Toejam and Earl was mega fun. The only game I had more silly fun with was Oddworld on ps1.and bought a Genesis and Toe Jam and Earl instead (and got Sonic free by mail)

I had a TG16 back when they first came out. But after beating both Bonk's Adventure and Bloody Wolf in less than a day each, I ended up returning the console and games to TRU (back when they had a much more lenient return policy) and bought a Genesis and Toe Jam and Earl instead (and got Sonic free by mail)
ya just missed the other day on craigslist ( i think it was monday) someone in the North Hills had 15 TG-16 games up for sale. If you want a multi-tap for it, I have one (not sure if it works because I don't have a system)Nope, nothing. And it sucks that controllers alone are going for $25+.

I just found a copy of both at a flea market. I had seller's remorse about selling mine several years ago, but I got a higher price a few years ago.Megaman Legends-$1 (I did buy this! there is no manual but the back insert is there and the disc is in good shape too). Very happy with that, just sold my CIB copy 2 weeks ago so now I don't feel as bad
I remember the last time I went in there (2007-8ish) they had something like this (sans Power Ranger branding). They wanted like $50 for it, but IIRC, the game inside was literally this, but instead of pressing buttons you had to punch and kick with all that shit strapped onto you.Today, stopped by the shitty Community Thrift that I found the Lost Odyessy guide last week or so. They had some stuff (!), but all I grabbed was GTA Vice City Stories for $1 and Call of Duty World at War PS2 for a buck- that is sealed! two sealed games at two different stores in one week? crazytown.
Yea, I just have a nostalgia thing for the 1st legends game. A friend and I went through both of them a few times in what seems like a lifetime ago.I just found a copy of both at a flea market. I had seller's remorse about selling mine several years ago, but I got a higher price a few years ago.
Man those games sucked when you compare them to Megaman games, but they were not terrible.
lol, the funny thing is that when I was there yesterday, they had a Japanese Voltron from 83 marked at 99 bucks! I told the lady that even at 50% off it was too much for me to spend (missing sword, the missile and one of the wing things). it is such a weird store. are you from the north hills in pitt?
Thanks. I'll probably order one. I have a ton of old PS1 controllers lying around somewhere. It would be nice if you made one that worked with OG Xbox controllers. I prefer the feel of them over PS, but eh, it would still work.
If you had a little gumption and a decent wallet, or a BIG wallet you can get a Sega Saturn controller working on the thing through Daisychaining. I built one of those and it works fine, though on the PlayStation Select is the L Button.Thanks. I'll probably order one. I have a ton of old PS1 controllers lying around somewhere.

Agreed, MML1 was good but a little rough around the edges, though the sequel pretty much refined it to perfection. I liked hunting out the parts to build the upgrades, felt satisfying to find a combination that worked.you guys are crazy megaman legends 1&2 are awesome, I'm still bitter about what what happened with MML3. damn you capcom
You might want to check the Board Game rack too, Sometimes big box games get tossed in there.I really need to start looking through the records at thrift stores... not because I might find a rare/valuable record, but because of the old computer games that came in that sized packaging. :/
Oh, I do. I always look for jigsaw puzzles and board games and found quite a few big box games there. Thanks though.You might want to check the Board Game rack too, Sometimes big box games get tossed in there.
Yeah, GGs are notorious for having bad screens and speakers, turns that $5 find into an additional $10 or more + time project to get it fixed back up. And it's not like they are in high demand like the Nintendo counterparts.I passed on a Game Gear for $5 today, and kind of regretting it. It was missing the battery covers, but came with an AC adapter. What held me back was if the screen was any good or not, and unfortunately, the GG doesn't have a test/startup screen when there is no game in it, like the Gameboy. The screen turned on, but without a game, there's no way to test if the screen is faded, contrast is out of whack or whatever else. I already have two GG with bad screens.
I may drop back over in a bit and grab it if it's still there when I go to pick my daughter up from school....
Yeah, that's why I passed. The AC adapter wasn't official either, it was a Doc's,Yeah, GGs are notorious for having bad screens and speakers, turns that $5 find into an additional $10 or more + time project to get it fixed back up. And it's not like they are in high demand like the Nintendo counterparts.
However the official AC adaptor would be worth it, as those can power up a variety of different Sega products.
that sucks man. I haven't played a game gear that didn't have messed up video or sound in like 10 years. at least you can get your money back.I went ahead and picked it up and as I suspected, no good. Turning it on, the backlight works, but screen is black and no sound. (Also one stuck red pixel). I opened it up to check and sure enough, there's at least one blown cap.
A few years ago, I would have bothered to fix it, but I don't have the time to piss away on it, so I'm taking it back. Luckily, I rememeber to ask them the ring it up as electrical, so I can get my money back if it didn't work.
Unless anyone wants it to fix themselves for $5 + actual shipping cost...

Yeah, I've seen some of his work. I'm not looking to put much effort into it, so I'm probably going to just take it back tonight.Wiggyx is in the business of Frankensteining these things.
Now, another thing I found, which I am having ZERO luck finding any info on is a VideoNow Color, Spongebob Squarepants edition. I've looked high and low and can't find anything about this thing even existing, yet I bought one for 3.99 yesterday (that came with about 10 discs in a Spongebob Movie binder case).
Yeah, I'm from North Hills. I used to visit that store often, but they usually had nothing good or overpriced stuff. I also remember seeing a Star Wars VHS set for like $75. (I just found a sealed version of it on eBay today for $20. Sealed.) I don't know if it was expensive at that point or what, but it seemed way overpriced.lol, the funny thing is that when I was there yesterday, they had a Japanese Voltron from 83 marked at 99 bucks!
