SCORE

[sega fan]

i just got a sega cdx near mint with all the original cords,30 carts,and 15 sega cds
since you heard me rant about my finds tell me when you got lucky at a thift store or flea market, etc.

[Kikoskia]

Once, I went into my local Gamestation. I was intent on not spending money there when I saw Normy's Beach Babe-O-Rama there for about £4. I knew it was rare so I got that and two other games, totally £13, knowing I couldn't buy anymore games all that week.

Imagine my surpise when the man at the till says they are priced wrong. Imagine it when they were actualyl £1.50 each... And then imagine my suprise when they are also buy one, get one free! So I end up snapping up another two games, totally £5.75 for five games (one wasn't in the offer)

:D And that's the extent of my luck in shops.

[Joe Redifer]

I got a model 1 Genesis attached to a model 1 Sega CD (both working perfectly) for $7. They make for nice spares.

[FishySaysSpoon]

Model 2 genesis with a model 2 cd missing the cd power cord, with 3 games, including vay, sewer shark and something else for $10CAD or at the time $7US. The CD unit had a blown fuse I managed to fix myself.

The best find I ever had was guardian heroes for 8 bucks.

[megadriveworld]

It's a shame Gamestation aren't very lively when it comes to MegaDrives games anymore. Just a few years ago there was usually many to be found, now just a basket with about 4 games :(

[Hidden_Darkness]

[Mooияakeя™]

Finding Snatcher for £2.99 at GameStation. It has the front and back cover of the manual missing, but apart from that it's fine!

That's incredible! I always suspected Gamestation staff opened up eBay to price up their retro stuff :p

I think the best find I got at that shop was the entire Strike series (Desert, Jungle, Urban, Soviet) for a tenner thanks to the BOGOF deal.

edit wait this isn't the haul thread >_<

[Iron Lizard]

The best thrift store finds I have ever had were a real Famicom, a top Loader Nes, and Power Strike in near mint condition.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

just to update, these werent recent scores but about 4 years ago I got a brand new unopened sega master system 1, the pack that came with 2 controllers, light phaser gun and a hang on/ safari hunt cartridge, for $40. also a year later I found dragonforce for sega saturn, mint and complete for $20 at a used game store.

[Dave White]

About 1 month ago I found an unopened Final Fantasy for NES. It was $4.99 at ARC thrift. Now I just need a total nerd collector to give me $100 for it.

[Joe Redifer]

I'll give you $120 for it. Oh wait, no I won't. Maybe I'll give you Snatcher for it. Hmmm.... Final Fantasy is a lot better than Snatcher, right? Hmmm... maybe not.

[Dave White]

nope. Final Fantasy is not better than Snatcher. But to someone else it probably is better. I just need to find that person and do business with them.
