Arenafoot Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 Day two of my garage sale odyssey: Sadly, three games I had hoped to purchase today were gone when I got back. Metroid Prime, Skyward Sword, and an intriguing Inuyasha RPG for the PS2. The Pitfall II and Saturn game were still available, though. As well as EyeToy Play for the PS2, and the blue Wiimote. The PS2 Eye Toy doesn't get much love I've noticed. I got mine for $2 at GS back in 2008, and my girls loved Eye Toy Play 1 & 2.

RickR Posted December 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 CIB Video Olympics and 2 Keyboard Controllers (with 2 games). The 2 games are "Codebreaker" and "Hunt & Score" (sounds like going to a bar on a Friday night -- reminds me of the Lynx Lounge Atari cocktail video!) A few of these items have been placed into my "For Trade" store: http://forums.atari.io/index.php/topic/2698-rickrs-good-junk-shop/ jmjustin6 and Justin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted December 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 Not from a thrift store...purchased from a post in an Ebay group... Blackjack (manual and box). I'll put the cart I have in here. It's a gatefold box (which will be my first) CIB Tanks Plus (also a gatefold!) 3 Sears games. I'm starting a Sears game collection to go with the Sears heavy sixer I have. These three are in nice shape. Tanks for reading.

RickR Posted December 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 I just couldn't leave this VTech Learning Window to sit unwanted next to alarm clocks, junk cameras, and VCRs. For being a toy computer from 1985, the thing is pretty amazing. Dot matrix animated LCD display, accepts a voice module cartridge, runs additional cartridges (that come boxed with keyboard overlays). It still works; takes six C batteries. Anyone here into collecting these kinds of things? I've got this and an original Sears Computron (with box and AC adapter) if someone has interest. I didn't know until just now that the Computron was also a VTech product. Cool. I'm interested in the Sears Computron and/or this. Please let me know what you'd like for it/them. Thanks!

I can play GBA games on it so thats a big plus Yeah the DS Lite is GBA and DS, but there aren't THAT many great ones on 3DS in my opinion, GBA is the library to have. 15 bucks boxed is a SUPER deal too! jmjustin6 1 Quote "For you - Rowsdower from the 70 - have been appointed Omnivisioner of the Game Grid." ~ Atari Adventure Square Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmjustin6 Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Today at the comic book store. I found the Resident evil essentials pack for the PS2. And they had 2 off brand gamecube controllers for $1 each. They also had this Tomy Verbot. The guy told me it was complete with everything. I didnt buy it just wanted to show yall and see if it was worth it RickR and Arenafoot 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted January 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Nice stuff! I personally probably would have bought the Verbot. It's something you need to like and play with though, as I think it would be really hard to re-sell if that was your intent. It probably isn't worth the $40, but with that nice box and all pieces there...I would have just turned off my "reason-filter" and bought it. jmjustin6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted January 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 The new version of the Pac Man plug & play, and a very nice Canon digital camera. You'll notice I buy digital cameras quite a bit. I do this because I like to have a camera specifically for ebay auction sales. I can get the settings just right for that purpose, and not have to mess with it for other camera situations. If the ones I find don't work out for that purpose, I end up selling them for a pretty nice profit. I've found that Canon cameras are the very best. Easy to use, nice quality pictures, usage of SD cards and AA batteries. The older Powershot cameras won't work if the internal button cell is dead, so people dump perfectly fine cameras. That was the case with this one. A new button cell, and it seems to work perfectly now. It was $4. Would sell for $15 if I end up not liking it. The Pac Man plug and play works great, and has a lot of really great arcade games. Plus, I think it will look pretty cool as shelf-fodder. nosweargamer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
