Goodwill:

Super Mario 3D World (Wii U): $25!

GG came with Sonic 2 (2 copies) , Sonic Spinball, The Lion King and World Series Baseball. I'll give the Sonic games and the Lion King a workout.

Feverishly reading all the racketboy literature on the Saturn. No doubt that Action Replay will be a purchase in the near future.

Found some new Atari 2600 games for my collection. Woman was opening up a new stall at the Chesapeake flea market and said they were her's from when she was a kid. Got them for $1 a piece :). Only ones I think I already have are Galaxian and Ms. Pac-man will probably swap those out with the ones I already have.

Also swung by Goodwill and Gamestop. Before striking out on the Proctorville flea market which was completely dead :P.

Goodwill actually had some game stuff for once but there prices were horrible. Loose PS2 as is untested no cords or controllers $25, Nintendo 64 as is untested wit 1 controller + cords= $50, and a bunch of plug n plays for $10 as is untested :P. Best part is the goodwill stores in the area are to lazy to use stickers or even tape and instead use permanent marker to mark all prices directly on the items :P. Did find a copy of Air Combat for the PS1 complete that they hadn't marked all over yet got it for $2.25 since it was unmarked or else it would have been $5 based on the average GW prices in the area :P.

Also found a complete copy of Valkyrie Profile Lenneth at gamestop for $6.50 :).

i've picked up a CIB copy of Final Fantasy III for the DS for $13. I also scored the official Unreal strategy guide with a sealed soundtrack for $0.25 at the library.

My favorite find was my $5 bag of Atari games. Had 29 games and a bag of unrelated manuals.

Still don't have an Atari to play them on.

I've been lucky so far my first Atari find included 30-40 games and 3 2600 systems. Have a Vader, Woody, and Jr. :). Also got lucky and bumped into a guy who was tired of trying to sell games in his stall so I ended up with 211 games for $75. There were a lot of duplicates but I have a pretty solid collection now.

Seems like when it comes to Atari stuff in the area almost nobody has any but on the rare occasion you bump into somebody other then a reseller who has some they usually have a pile of it :).

Found a huge flea market in town that I just never knew existed. A lot of over-priced stuff so I didn't find much. It's been a while since I've been to a real flea market and even though there are tons of resellers with high prices and severely damaged games digging through the other booths of random stuff and coming away with super cheap games is fun.

NES
Mad Max $3
Golf Grand Slam $1
Track & Field II $1
Faxanadu $1

SNES - Dennis the Menace & RapJam $3 each
Game Boy Color - Mario Tennis $1
N64 - Pokemon Puzzle League $1
Console w/2 controllers & power cord $10

Then at Savers I found Fear Effect (been looking for this one for a while) & Street Fighter Alpha 2 for $3 each and an NES cleaner mixed in with a bag of random crap for $4. I just though it was interesting to have one in the box.

Since I can't stop myself from buying cheap N64s (which is odd because it by far my least favorite Nintendo system) I have decided I will dedicate the rest of my life to building a ladder to the moon made completely from N64s..
