My big find this morning. Boxes and some manuals only, but $20 took it all. Older lady was cleaning have attic and was going to recycle them if I didnt want them. I am glad I saved them from that fate.

^Nice pickup. The Super Metroid box alone is going for more than that on ebay right now :lol:

A guy on craigslist says he has 80+ "collectors and M-rated PlayStation 1+2 games with PS2" for $60 via email. This may be a big score but I wanted to go to the flea market today instead. I guess I can go take a look at his stuff. I usually stay far away from PS2 but this sounds worthwhile.

Likewise. Send me a PM the next time you are thinking of heading out there, and we might be able to meet up and talk video games.

Well probably going to save my cash and head up there near the end of next month...just because it's a lot easier to know what I do have to spend on games after tuition comes out and next month is my last month paying for it this semester thankfully :wink:

Im still at work, and my wife picked em up, but she is telling me that with a few exceptions, they are all minty and look like the cart was taken out and then stored. I am excited to get home to check em out.

Wow, John - that's a great find. Assuming better than average condition and all manuals / maps present on the RPG, you probably have a $500+ find. Kirby Dreamland 3 being the prize in the bunch, which can do $100 to $150 if minty on the box and manual. The RPG's are nice too for sure - interested if the warranty and map cards are present, could push your haul to $700 in value.

Yeah that's nuts for $20. I got a bunch of NES boxes that way and got some nice ones, but not near that level of awesomeness.

What's the GBC game to the right of 007?
