Just joined, but I found this last week and I'm counting it since it's a rarity for me to find anything, period. Super Metroid with manual, dust cover and in plastic case (it looks like an old rental case. It's certainly not a new one, the blasted N64 carts won't fit for the life of me.) $1.06 <- with tax. It would have been $2 but apparently it was half off day. :roll:

Does it count if i bought it for myself?

Finally picked up a RGB modded PC engine Duo-r for $220 shipped, took 3 days to get to Illinois from Japan. Also got lords of thunder to add to my collection.

Got a working NES, SNES, 3 different gameboys, Super Mario Kart, All-Stars, Mario Paint, Paper Boy 2, Kirby's Adventures, Super Mario Bros 3, Mike Tyson's Punchout, Bubble Bobble, Super C, Top Gun the second mission, Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt, Paperboy, 3 SNES controllers and 2 NES Controllers, 2 RF Adapters for 80 bucks.

Some stuff is in rough shape, but I think it was a pretty swell deal.

The other day I picked up Lost Planet: Extreme Condition for Xbox 360 at Gamestop for $5. CIB, too. :)

Made me a happy camper.

Sealed super Nintendo (not technically sealed, but all bags and has never been used). I simply love this box. Awesome artwork. I'm really surprised this doesn't smell like smoke (she smoked).

Also got a heavily yellowed NES (cleaned up, but need to retrobright it) and SNES. Can't clean the SNES yet as my gamebit sucks and refuses to open it. I also received a atari 2600 manual, super mario kart manual, few controllers, ac adapters for nes, and a few games (Paperboy 2, donkey kong country, mario is missing, monopoly, and ms pacman)

Image

The best part? Got this all for free and there is more coming. A great lesson on why to never smoke.

Here is how one game cleaning went. I really hate non-glossy laminated stickers. They don't protect it at all. To make matters worse, it is impossible to clean them without doing damage to them.

Congrats, sweet post Xmas haul. Am I to take it that you've indeed picked up the left overs of someone who's just died? If not, why is it a lesson as to never smoke?
