I picked this lot up from craigslist:

 

 

It also came with quite a few cartridge only games, including some rarer ones like Jackie Chan and Felix the Cat.

megaman is the greatest video game series in the universe (or at least my favorite)

I went to an "estate sale" today and mentioned I collected comics. The lady got excited and said she had some comics in the safe.

I got excited...

until she came back with three ratty 15 cent comics. Action and detective. the flea market stickers had $2 on them...I think she bought them for $1.75 too much.

I said no thinks, and bought some old Wii games for my 3 year old, and a monkey wrench just to buy something with heft.

I looked over a collection of 4 longboxes at some guys house 1 year ago.

I made him a fair offer for the lot & he said he'd think it over for a day.

When I rang back his wife told me he'd given them to a friend to sell for him

& hey ho, they were gone

 

Jump forward 1 year (today) and I'm at a car boot sale here in the UK.

There's a guy who I've never seen before with 4 longboxes of comics!

How much do you want for the comics? I ask him.

 

£1 each ($1.60)

 

Have you sold many I ask?

 

loads mate, I've been doing this for about 1 year.

Gutted as it was the same lot I'd seen a year previously.

Oh well, here's the stuff I snagged for £1 each

Deadpool 41 - 50 & 68, 69

 

 

 

Tarot 2 - 6 & 10

 

 

Prestige stuff

 

 

 

 

1st issues

 

 

 

 

odds

 

 

 

 

 

and some other rubbish

 

 

I'll offfer $4 US for the Spidey 36 and Ulimate Spidey 1 White variant. Double your money in this tough economy.

Went to a local yard sale this morning that had advertised on Craigslist. They didn't advertise comics or anything like that but I took a chance and went there anyway. Soon as I got there I asked if they had any comics, magazines or video games. A teen-age kid goes inside and brings out a stack of comics. I bought 7 of them (70's Marvel and DC stuff) for $7.00 but the best was yet to come.

 

One of the moms and one kid goes inside the house and brings out ALL of these game systems:

 

1) Atari CX-2600A Video Computer System

2) Nintendo NES Game System

3) Super Nintendo Game System

4) Sega Genesis Game System

 

They set them on a table and it appears that most everything is there (no controllers with the NES and the Super Nintendo and Atari both need AC adapters). I'm also assured that everything was in good working order. At first I'm thinking I only want the 2 Nintendo systems. So I ask her what she wants for those. She says "Give me $20.00 and you can have all 4 systems".

 

I couldn't pass that up of course and now have all of the systems and components cleaned up. Here's pics of everything:

 

 

 

 

 

And yes, we need to have our carpets cleaned.

It's a shame that's not a six button genesis controller. Fatalities are a pain without HP, HK.

That game is a generally pain for Sega. The SNES version is the way to go.

That looks like a six button controller to me.

[Hado]

I'm on my phone and should have zoomed in more, I could only see the grey buttons. Faitality away.

[Neurosis138]

That's a great score and clean non-yellowed snes. I'll post a pic of this weeks game finds when I get off work, some real gems were found.

Now you need to ditch the RF switch for SNES AV cables. But In all seriousness, I hate you for getting all of that at about 10% of its value.

I have a silver age book that looks a lot like that. Would pressing a book in that condition help? Just curious.

 

I'm impressed with the find!

Hard to tell from the scan but highly unlikely. Pressing will do nothing to remove the creases that break the color.

Yea that's what I thought.

 

So that'd likely be a 2.5 or 3.0? I can't remember what my guy said, but I can't see it scoring well...

To keep up with the video game theme I picked up a N64 lot off craigslist. Both Zelda games, Starfox 64, Diddy Kong, 007 and a few others. Nothing incredibly, but a good value and since I've never played Majora's Mask I'm very pleased with it!

Working on doing that already.

Majora's Mask was a great game. I really enjoyed it, and there is a ton to do! If you're a Zelda fan I'm sure you'll be pleased. It is a bit different than the others though, and very underrated.

I don't think it would be much more than a 2.0, it was cheap and is sort of a "just to have book". Plus I got to read it.

Yea that's a great book too. I loved how they made GG involved in organized crime early on. It was why the Hobgoblin worked so well later.

 

I have an awful copy of that book I bought a few years ago. At the time it was my earliest copy of ASM.

Those early Spiderman stories are some of the best in my opinion (thumbs u
