the other day I went to the salvation army and bought two pretty beat up beegees records for $2.25.

How much is it? They're really not that rare, though they're definitely not as common as the Dualshock, but if it's around $2 or less, that's a good price. If it's a different color than the standard grey, though, it might be a little more rare since the only non-grey one I've ever seen, which is black, is the one I own.

I got a great SNES deal once, too. I got a working SNES, a controller, power and A/V cables, Super Mario All-Stars, Super Street Fighter II Turbo, Zelda: A Link to the Past, Sim City, Sim Earth, Lagoon, and Final Fantasy something-or-other for FREE. Seriously, I spotted the SNES and games laid out in this house's driveway (the people who lived there were having a garage sale since they were moving to Europe for their college work or something), I asked how much they wanted for it all, and they got me a box and told me to just take it all! I kept All Stars and Street Fighter and gave the rest to my sister.

Oh yeah? I got 2 shoeboxes of Atari 2600 games, a Sears Video Arcade 2 pre-modded with composite, a broken SNES, a NES, an N64 with 2 copies of Goldeneye, a Sega CD, 2 PS1's, a Genesis model 2, Wico trackball controller and a custom 2600 controller for FREE. A buddy of mine was cleaning out his game collection and sent me all his un used/broken/for fixing crap. I'll round everything up and take a pic.

Went to a game store, no deals. Asked how much a copy of Gyromite was.
Forty-five dollars.
He can go *Can'tSayThisOnTV* himself.
I saw some really cool stuff there, though. A PAL SNES, Super Famicom, pirate multicarts, imports, all sorts of rare and strange stuff. But the prices are exhorbitant, which is really too bad because there's such a good selection. The local pawn shop has much more reasonable prices, and there's another place I sometimes go to that has decent prices, and VERY GOOD PRESENTATION. They clean and shrinkwrap all the games, all labeled, little signs, glass cases, etc. Even the cheapo bin stuff is shrinkwrapped.

Sounds a lot like small game store near me. He shrink wraps everything as well, just sells a bit too high on current or last-gen stuff. Has lots of old stuff, including an NES toploader, SNES mini, and Genesis 3's last time I checked. Not bad prices on the older stuff, but I could easily find most things at half of his prices at my local flea market.XCVG said:

Got a PSX for $16 with all cables and two controllers at a thrift store. One controller is a DualShock, the other a Dual Analog. The right stick on the Dual Analog is screwed up- it's free to rotate. A good deal, I thought, but the Dang thing doesn't work! The controllers work though, tested them on my PS2. The PSX just doesn't respond to any sort of controller input.
EDIT: By PSX I mean original Playstation. I don't know how or why people call it that. I guess I should just say Playstation, but the average idiot thinks PS3 if I say that, and PSone/PS1 (pronunciation is identical) is usually used to refer to the little playstation.
