I got really lucky yesterday at a garage sale. There was a box sitting there for $20 and I saw part of a top-loading NES and a bunch of games/controllers. I knew I would buy it so I offered them $15 without even looking through it. Took it home and was pleasantly surprised by the contents:

- Top-loading NES with no cables (I had cables to test it, works great!)
- Two dogbone controllers
- Two original NES controllers
- Grey zapper
- NES Game storage thing

NES carts:
- Contra
- TMNT 3 Manhattan Project
- Kirby's Adventure
- Balloon Fight
- Tecmo Bowl
- Monster Party
- Donkey Kong Classics
- Baseball Stars
- Yo! Noid
- Top Gun
- RC Pro-Am
- Rygar
- Volleyball
- Double Dribble
- Hoops
- Gyromite (no R.O.B)
- Super Mario Bros. (x2)
- Super Mario Bros./Duckhunt
- John Elway's Quarterback

Various other things in the box:
- Two different playstations
- One set of playstation cords (power and RF cord)
- Five Playstation controllers (Two original, two dualshock, one Madcatz)
- Hot Shots golf 3 for PS2 (disc only, probably doesn't play)
- Grand Turismo for PSX
- Homemade skateboarding/BMX dvd (lol)

That expands my NES collection from three games and a console that barely works to 23 games and a console that works every time, so I'm really happy. Now, is it easy to get ahold of some NES power cables? I've been swapping a Genesis power supply between a Sega and two NES's.

Awesome man, you won't regret buying it. Also, try checking out the RB articles first.

My sister's boyfriend sold me Red Dead Redemption for the PS3 for $14 today. He was going to give it to me but I insisted on paying him something.

Ok, this is finds of the last 2 weeks while on vacation, but here goes.

Overview of the stuff I picked up in Japan. Some of this will end up in my sale thread and a few things are for other people. I had neglected to look at evening temps in California and Japan so I ended up buying a hoodie at a very nice second hand shop while there.

Visited Sevin and we went to his favorite thrift shop. No amazing finds, but I did get Herb Alpert, Art of Noise, and a Star Trek Elite Force for $2.22 grand total. Also hit Rabbit's Foot Meadery with my friends and had a sampling of their wares. Brought home a nice bottle of their Melia orange blossom honey based mead.

I stayed away from systems, else I might have come home with an AES, some Saturn sticks, and more. Kept to small manageable things so I wasn't mailing or carrying home weighty items I'd have to worry about in transit. I could have easily spent a lot longer looking at and buying game stuff, but I didn't want to bore my friends and I was doing cultural stuff too. Successful trip and shopping. :)
