What Great Bargains did you get Games & Systems?

[Ecco]

I sure hope that guy understood that the hook-ups were incompatible. (and unlike the M1 you can't get away with a standard RF adaptor, or simple RCA to co-ax adaptor for minimal video hook up, the M2 lacking an onboard RF modulator)
And, of course the a/c adaptor is incompatible.

Don't worry -- he knows all that, and we even talked about the incompatibility of the hook-ups for a moment.

He knows he took in a M2 without accessories, and that he also kept incompatible M1 parts.

Good, that's a deal considdering the M1 is usually more desireable. (the HDG model at least)

Did you get a good look at you M2 before you traded it? (did you notice if the rf sheilding on the bottom -through the vents- went all the way across or not)

Nope. I was never very interested in the M2's.

Long before I knew about the differences in hardware, I always thought that the M1's are much better-looking.

I was getting my car fixed last tuesday and walked into a second hand store and here's what I bought

The Revenge of Shinobi [Sega classic version] complete $2
Gunstar Heroes with box $2
Street of Rage 3 with box $2
Tinhead complete $2
Batman Forever complete $2

and here's what I left behind

Street Smart [Mega Drive] complete $2
Crude Buster complete $2 [MD]
Dragon Ball Z complete $2 [MD]
Juju Densetsu complete $2 [MD]
NHL '94 box but no sleve $2
Runark loose [MD]
Virtua Racing loose $2
The Humans loose $2
Sonic loose $2
Sonic 2 loose $2
The Three Stooges for NES loose $2
Super Mario World loose $2

and they also had a lot of N64 games all $2.


and speaking of free stuff I once found a complete Genesis 2 in the box with two controllers and Mortal Kombat 2 boxed. It was just sitting in my building lobby.

Since they still go for at least €25,- (like about $30,-) on ebay here locally (yeah those from England are cheaper but they got thrice the postal cost), I'm quite happy with my VA1.8 Megadrive 2 with all connection cables, 2 original controllers (3-button unfortunately), 1 3rd party (Quickshot-style) joystick and Megagames 6 (the one with Collumns, Italia '90, Super HangOn, Streets of Rage, Revenge of Shinobi and Golden Axe, cart-only (I've never seen a boxed copy of it, is it rare boxed or something?) in good working condition for €11,25 for all.

Also I got boxed copies recently of Sonic 3 (which normally costs between €15-20 here in Holland) and Vectorman for €5 each.

Although they weren't extremely cheaper since I just started I found them nice bargains.

Near mint Sega Saturn Model 2 (The better one) with Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, Virtua Cop, Virtua Fighter 2, Daytona U.S.A, and 2 controllers ~ $10 from a local Microplay which is no longer in operation. It replaced my crappy model 1 Saturn which had a defective lid. The games were a nice bonus.

If there's no cables or hookups, then no. Unless you already have the hookups.

[isaacsquared]

Probably my two best/favorite deals are:

$20:
Sega Saturn, 12 misc. junk games
Contra: Hard Corps CIB
Rocket Knight CIB
3 N64 controllers
misc. other accessories for NES, N64, Genesis

$65:
Pioneer CLD-A100 LaserActive, with Sega and Karaoke pacs, one LaserActive game. The thing is freaking amazing. LD's are big enough to kill someone with, but this was an epic steal.

Does bartering count?

I traded a NES Action Set and one game cart (SMB/Duck Hunt) for a Gamecube with one controller and seven GC games. Turned around and traded the Gamecube and games for a piece that I had been wanting to add to my collection for a long time: Intellivision system in clean working condition and 38 game carts. Oh, yeah, it also came with the Intellivoice module. Sweet!
