Some random manuals as well, including a booklet: 101 All New Nintendo Secrets Revealed. Spent $45 today for no good reason, but got some good ones in there I think. I had no idea there were attainable GG games worth more than like $2 so was happy when I looked up the ones I got.

I had a pretty ridiculous day at the flea market this morning.

I beat this asshole reseller to a couple of things right away. I hate this guy not because he's a reseller but because once he noticed I go around the flea market looking for games too his prices suddenly got stupid high when I ask. $10 for a common NES game? Ok, f*cker.

$20 for all this - which was apparently being held for Mr. Reseller who showed up late I guess. You snooze, you loose.

I got a boxed 2600 for $25. I get the feeling I could have haggled the price down but I see no point when someone gives my a good price right away and it's in great shape. FINALLY got my boxed Atari!!

That was all within maybe 10 minutes of getting the the flea market. From there on I found some things sporadically over the next couple of hours.
Sega CD $7
Dreamcast $10
Gamecube $8
Wii games $3 each
GBA SP NES Special Edition (w/Final Fantasy I & II) $15
Evertything else $15


EDIT: Wow, you talk about some crazy dumb luck; I bought a JVC X'Eye that didn't read discs earlier in the week. Among a number of other issues, the laser was shit. I cannibalized the Sega CD I got today and used the laser assembly in the X'Eye and the sumbitch fires right up. Damn, I'm glad I found the Sega CD!

What is the Genesis game at the bottom in the first attachment with no label?

I hadn't even touched this stuff to clean or test it since I bought it until last night. It's Altered Beast. This one is definitely going in an accumulating box of Genesis stuff I'm going to send to my old man. We used to play the hell out of Altered Beast back in the early 90's. He doesn't care about condition, just wants to play to relive some old memories.

There is that, but my other point was that it was crossposting the same picture and information in 2 places within a minute of each other which is a no no.

@J_Wil

That's a great haul. Well, maybe with the exception of that terrible looking 3rd party SNES controller.

Haha. Agreed! I haven't tried it yet but I'll bet it's a piece of poo.

Sweet get, J_Wil!

Ooooh..... J_Will found some nice stuff. That shiny Atari box makes me jealous.


I found some good stuff myself this week.



PSOne system with hookups, 2 controllers and PS2 memory card - $5.60 (w/tax)

I saw the system sitting out with the rest of the electronic goodness. As soon as one of the workers saw me with it he said, "That was fast. I just put that out there, like, two minutes ago " Yay for good timing.

Not sure how long the PS2 memory card is going to last. You can see the large crack on it in the picture, but it doesn't look like it's affected the board, just the plastic casing. I'm concerned it might crap out on me, but we'll see. I'll just save those time consuming RPG files for a separate card me thinks.



Also found these sitting on the DVD shelf:



Final Fantasy XIII (360)
Alice Madness Returns (360)
Okami (PS2)
- $1.50 each

And that's two more games into the collection for a system I do not yet have

They're all complete (Well, as complete as Alice can get, anyway. Stupid digital manuals....) and it pretty damn fine shape. I've already got XIII for PS3, so I'll probably just sell that one off to the local game store to recoup my losses. Was really surprised to see Okami sitting on the self though. That was a nice surprise.
