I was almost wrong at the employees at the local Play N Trade. There's one guy who is a retrogaming lover and he was happy to find someone to brag about his collection to. However the rest of them still don't care very much.

I took advantage of the B2G2 at GS to get a few games I saw around the shop totaling $41.

Now I just need to pick up these Genesis & Master System lots for 35 and I'll be set for a while. P:

Stopped in at a little thrift shop that I hadn't tried in awhile, basically not looked anywhere all summer as it is more of a colder weather hobby for me, anyway I got the following games: NES Final Fantasy cartridge and dust sleeve only
N64: Boxed Perfect Dark with manual and inserts
Hard Clear Plastic Case with N64 on the bottom of it containing Castlevania with instruction manual
Boxed N64 Expansion Module
All of the above for $4 and change!

VERY NICE! There's a local game shop near me that still has a sealed one like this but they want $50 for it and there's no way I'm going to pay that. So $10 is a great deal! 8)

Local place I like to visit had a boxed copy of Super Metroid for $30. I'm wondering if it'd be worth going back for it?

They also had Final Fantasy III boxed for the same price.

Definitely! Great price for two of the best games on the SNES boxed.

I was at Target earlier today and was browsing in the video games section. I saw the new Nintendo Selects games on display for $19.99 except for the Super Mario Galaxy one which was $49.99 instead of $19.99. WTF?

Both of those boxed SNES games were kinda tucked away in the back of the place, far away from all the other SNES stuff. I didn't get a good look at them since they were behind this counter, so I'm not sure really if they're in good shape, if they include manuals/trays, etc.

I don't think they'll be going away any time soon so I can probably take my time in going to get them. Really shitty time to be short on cash!

I would've just looked up the prices on ebay, but their new search makes it rather annoying to do.
