Early morning neighborhood yard sale nearby. I got there about 30 minutes after it started, all spread out across this development. I get to the very back and I find a nice NES w/ 10 games = $35. Except there are only 6 games! She broke the lot and the only name she could remember selling was Zelda.

So whomever bought it got that but left behind a working (tested per the lady on all the games too) NES with:

Lemmings (! - $20ish)
Galaga
Burgertime
Spy vs. Spy
Blades of Steel
NFL Football

So, not sure who scooped me, but he left behing what was probably the most valuable game. I offered $25 for the broken lot and she accepted.

It is cart only and the label looks like it lost a bar fight, but snagged a copy of TMNT Hyperstone Heist for Gen for $4 at Goodwill. Happy to be able to give it a whirl. :)

Did pretty well hitting the garage sales today, especially on the Atari side. Been wanting a 7800 for a while, and now I've got two.

Also, spare PS2! Now I can mod this (assuming it cleans up okay) and leave my NTSC-J vanilla.

Flea market day!

Image

DDR Mario Mix with box, pad, and game (no manual): $12 (haggled from $15)

Parappa Keychain: $3 (haggled from $4)

Casshan Figure: $8 (haggled from $10)

Gold Gameboy pocket, Purple Gameboy color, Teal Gameboy Color, Original Gameboy, Gameboy SP, Blue Gameboy SP, 2 Gameboy carrying cases, Pokemon Yellow, Super Mario Land x3, CutThroat Island, Lego Alpha Team, Godzilla, Ninja Turtles, Pacman, Tetris, Godzilla again, Kirby Star Stacker, Kirby's Dreamland, Battletoads, and Donkey Kong Country 3 gba: $20! (no haggling necessary)

Though, the batteries on both Gameboy SPs are dead. They won't work even when plugged in. Aside from that, they all have battery covers, and all the other gameboys work!

I'm in a weird area. There are never any resellers here because there isn't enough stuff to buy. The only people selling games are parents selling their kid's old games, or people selling stuff they found at garage sales.

I picked up for Xbox, all CIB, for $0.99 each at my local mom and pop reseller:
ESPN NBA Inside Drive 2003
ESPN NFL 2K5
NFL Primetime 2002

And Fight Night Champion (360) and The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (Wii) for $19.99 each at Fry's.
I've been waiting for Fight Night to dip below $20 bucks. I had no prior interest in the latest LoZ, but it was $20 with the bonus music CD. It looks pretty decent and apparently it's supposed to be a great game (why have I not known about this game???). I hope I get some time to play it. Wind Waker is still in my backlog pile factory sealed. Ugh! I was always a Madden guy but NFL 2K5 is a game I have heard such high praise for that I had been wanting to play it for years. Gotta give it a shot for 99 cents. The other 2 Xbox games are more curiousity and a cheap way to add number to the collection than anything else.
