My new baby, an SX Jazz-style bass. $130 from rondomusic.com I started playing bass in a band, and my old beginner p-style bass wasn't cutting it anymore, so I invested in the bass I've always wanted. For the money, it's amazing.
OK, video games now:
The Saturn games were won from a lowball, I think they were $3 each. Sly 2 is from a friend, and the only Sly Cooper game I didn't have. VR Troopers was $2 at the flea market.
OK, the big thing, game-wise:
An Atari 5200, complete in box, with six boxed games. It's the later two port model. This thing looks like it's never been played, and the games are mostly complete (Pac-Man is the only one with the number pad layovers). The best part was this was FREE. My brother and his friend were at GameStop when a guy came in trying to trade it in. When they told him they couldn't take it, he gave it to my brother's friend, who in turn gave it to me, provided I could get it to work. The hardest part was finding a TV it would hook up to, but we had one in my attic. Fired it up, and it works perfectly! I don't see myself playing this that much, though. I just kinda like looking at it
My gf visited a few flea markets while on her trip and purchased the Bionic Commando lunchbox thinking I might like it. She couldn’t have been any more correct since I put $10 down at Gamecrazy for this and the game back when it came out, forgot to pick it up, and they subsequently closed! Though in hindsight, I’m glad I didn’t end up paying full price for Bionic Commando, so things actually turned out better this way\\
ing amazing, I was trying to peel the plastic artwork off before I realized the thing was actually on.
