>>3910629

Man, that Super Metroid has seen batter days. Was this a lot buy? Otherwise I'd not pay any more than loose cart price for that one given its exceptionally poor condition.

Others look OK.

>>3910765
30 aud comes with the manual too

i love church sales got this for $5

>>3913560
i know i know
still happy tho

>>3914773
But you're happy because a few underage bandwagon collectors validated your existence by saying it was a good deal. Not because you're enjoying the games.

>>3915007
im happy because i wanted to play these games with out paying to much

And these for $16. That controller is one of those Chinese plug n play knock offs with some games having the player character as a digimon

Got Contra for NES for a dollar yesterday.

Went to Japan last month, I always have a list when I go of video games and consoles I want, and I did a pretty good job this time of getting almost everything I wanted, game-wise. Photo dump incoming.

I kid you not, I got all of this out of a dumpster. I was driving past someone cleaning out their house, they had one of those 40 ft dumpsters in their driveway and my eye locked on to the nintendo logo. I pulled over, smooged a bit, and ended up jumping in and taking whatever I wanted. As rad of a haul as this is... it's kind of depressing because I don't think I'll hit a better score

>>3916567
That's depressing they were literally going to trash all of that.

well it wasn't like a dumpster behind the City Wak, it was just someone cleaning out their house and they didn't know what they had (or didn't care)

>>3910629
You paid too many dollary-do's, ya bogan.

You got ripped off dude. $26 for that shit? Christ.

>>3916567
Did you get a big mac after?

I made it my goal this trip to not leave Japan without an MSX2 and a stack of games for it.

>>3917050
Probably not, always handy to have a spare for gaming events

>>3917920
damn, good for you i really want a X68000 i might save up and go to japan just to buy one,

Not a purchase but should I sell this beauty? It has mod chip in it just stayed behind glass for many years in my room.

I'm kind of short on cash and planning on selling all this for 80€

Still see plenty of fat models and some abused slims with demand for mod chips so I'm not sure if I'm going to regret it later.

>>3919572
You will regret it later

>>3919572
I'd kill for a controller in such a good condition as yours. My only ps1 controller has soft buttons by now and I can't seem to find replacements, not even on aliexpress

>>3920119
I mean, my only ps1 controller that is still working*

I've always had bad luck with controllers for some reason when I was a kid. None of my ps2 controllers survived, too, though my SNES's are working perfectly fine for 20+ years and counting

>>3915923
>>3915934
>that twin stick controller for Virtual On
Yep, I'm jealous.

>>3916584
>implying people wouldn't look up its value on the internet in this day and age
This might have been a little believable back in the 2000s when most people didn't care at all about old Nintendo stuff and if those boxes were damaged or the contents of it were scratched and smudged. And even then it seems very unlikely a family had bought that much and paid for it second hand while simply trashing it.

0.5/10, made me reply because I'm not sure if you thought it was actual good bait. Unless you think every reply would be good enough for you but that's not how trolling works.

>>3920134
This. TV shows and countless articles hyping up old games as mega valuable collectors pieces have firmly put the idea that "old video games are buried treasure" in the popular conscience. People legitimately think gold Zelda 1 carts are worth hundreds of dollars.

Are you the same guy who started that thread about what to get on your trip to Japan and I posted the Hit Bit?

I literally just got this stuff so excuse the crud. The laptop has an ATI Rage Mobility C with a composite out (haven't checked if it'll do true 240p yet) and a dock you may or not be able to see under it with a DVD drive, floppy drive and quite a few more connectors. The Starcraft is still sealed and the calculator isn't /vr/ related but it's a very early scientific one by HP that goes for $100-$200

>>3920134
well you're obviously brilliant

>>3920304
You are.... entirely retarded. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul

>>3920351
love to get a old laptop for playing old early 90s games

>>3921038
I already had a retro desktop pc but this one will probably mainly be used in my primary media center. My wife and I don't want a second desktop stuffed in there. That'll probably have to wait until I order a dedicated power supply for it and maybe a battery since the one in it is dead as disco. Just using my universal one right now which I was very glad I brought thrift shopping with us yesterday.

It was only 950 yen at Book-Off. The eBay prices are goddamn highway robbery, they're practically giving these things away in Japan.

>>3920351
Wasn't me, this was my second time in Japan, so I had a pretty good idea of what I was looking for and what my price range was on items.

>>3923108
Yeah there's about 10,000 extra of those Saturn Virtual On controllers in Japan I think. Some other Anon sometimes posts pics of his collection and he has four of them because of something like he ordered two and they didn't arrive by the late-arrival date so the seller shipped him two more and didn't give one fuck about it. Please don't buy up all the MSX2s! I still need one!

As a fun footnote, while checking the dock on this notebook I discovered it contained a burnt copy of pic related. Not only was someone using it as a DVD playing masturbatorium since 2009, this is what they were masturbating to.

I hit it with the Lysol.

>>3921038
you can find thinkpads for 30 or 50 euros on ebay. its so cheap I have to keep myself from hoarding.
I have a t42 from years back that still has slackware on it now Ive dedicated it for dosbox and scummvm since I wont bring the XP desktop at the place I go at night.
I have another thinkpad I want to put XP on but its lost the hdd caddy so it will have to wait

lol back when I ran a BBS, because I wanted to use both my cdrom drives as shareware file folders I kept the porn directories on the local hard drive which allowed me to automatically stamp them with my own BBS logo and until the great Goodwill-Dell merger c. 2008 I would still find hard drives with porn on them that had a (low res grayscale) image of me with my BBS logo stamped on them.

I definitely could have creeped into the previous owner and his girlfriend/daughter/mother/?'s identity and emails if I'd have been motivated and back in the day I probably would have but that shit just got reformatted.

I bought this at a goodwill a few days ago for $3.

It's not 100% /vr/ but I think it's interesting. The only PC copy on eBay is going for $200 for some reason.

>>3923519
At first I was like "psh - maybe ASKING but not going" then I checked for myself and I see some copies have sold. $150 is a reasonable estimate of value. Nice find, Anon. about the same as my calculator

It was my birthday the past week, so I went a little bit heavier than I normally do in terms of collecting.

Elemental Master is the only copy I've seen in the city and is complete.

>>3923594
Two for that particular piece

>>3910629 That's a lot of money for that, but Panel De Pon and Super Metroid have a lot of replay value. I haven't imported since Yamatoku raped me on shipping, but $40-$50 I would say it's a good deal.

Batman Returns guy here, just got this today.

That SNES cart of Batman Returns was stubborn as hell. It didn't want to work, but a few going overs with a q-tip and a single going over with a fine emery board made it cooperate.

>>3926368

There is a reseller, hoarder, in my area I see at every flea market. He hoards everything of interest the other stands have before setting up. Then everything on his stand is in awful condition because he doesn't take care of it, most of it isn't even covered when it rains etc

>>3926814
fuck me that man should be punched, i dont like the idea of hoarding, my collection is games i wanna play and i ever let my nieces and nephews play them.but if you are going to hoard them at least take care of them.

Why are japanese covers/boxes so sexy anyways?

Where do you guys find this stuff? I don't really know where to look. I really want to finally get a super nintendo but prices are ridiculous these days.

Scored a genesis with all hookups, two controllers and three sonic games for $20 today at the thrift store.
Genesis console is super clean.

>>3929868

Best bet for finding one on the cheap is a garage sale. You have to be persistent though, lots of people looking nowadays.
