Might just be crapola in the contacts that needs cleaning. Of course if you just bought it, maybe you can exchange that stick?

Re: Video Game "Look what I found"
So I went out to the flea markets for the first time in a long time. I hadn't been in a couple of months since I was saving up for Otakon and going to school so I've been dying to get back out there to look for some games. I decided to go today since there was suppose to be a huge community flea market (that goes on once a year) near my house. However, it didn't work out very well. It was raining all day and the community flea market was only a few people selling stuff that had large tents up. So it was a bust. It was raining and I couldn't really find many yard sales so I decided to go to the indoor flea market up north.
So I get there and it has changed a lot. I did come across a few things that I picked up.
The first thing I found was a Sega Saturn for $10. It was only the Saturn, no cords or controllers. Now, here is the thing; I already have a Sega Saturn but my case was in semi poor condition and I already have extra cords and controllers so I can use this for trading (they are... somewhere, just have to find them). Plus when I got home it worked fine after I cleaned the lens up. On a better note it was the same day my SCART Saturn cable came so yay.
This is the only other things I brought at the flea market. The guy who had After Burner thought it was a 8-track tape for some reason. He had Sega Genesis games (which were all over priced) but had no clue about the Master System so he gave it too me for a dollar.
Batman Returns (SNES)
Back to the Future (NES)
Tennis (NES)
Faxanadu with Nintendo Blue Case and Manuel (NES)
Super Famicom Game (My sister told me it is some sports game)
If I see a Japanese game at the flea market I will typically buy it since those are rare where I live. He sold me everything for $20. The Faxanadu looks as if nobody ever played it before and I've never seen a instruction book from the NES look that nice. It looks almost new. The guy who sold it too me gave me his number, I got the games from a bag. He told me he has hundreds of bags and bins in a storage locker and when I'm in the area one day give him a call to go though them to see if there is anything else. He also has a bins full of consoles too. He was pretty nice, he was a gamer (we had a battle of Smash Bros on the 3DS) but had gotten them wholesale a while ago and just never gotten around to them since he deals mainly with electronics such as TVs.

Re: Video Game "Look what I found"
Man been meaning to post this for a few days(had to send it to my computer as a text message from my phone and then drag it to imgur since the site is broken on mobile apparently..):
$15 for the games (the ds game is wild world, and the game with no cover is chaotic shadow warriors) at a local pawn. Which to be honest is a freaking deal because one had 6 on it, 5 on two of the others and I don't even know what price he truly had on the ds game.
Went to another pawn and instead of buying games, they had that tv up front on sale for $50. I'm going to count it as a gaming find because it's replacing that monitor so I can have sound when using my retron5. Coax doesn't work but I don't need it anyways, need to trouble shoot why I'm not getting sound on ps4(even with optical plugged up instead). But hey for $50 it'll tide me over until I save up enough for a bigger one since I'd really perfer to have a 32" on my desk at most....

Re: Video Game "Look what I found"
So I found this today at Goodwill for about 15 dollars.
A complete in box Sega Genesis 2. There were also 6 games inside of it. 3 of the games that it came with (as shown on the outside of the box). One golf game that was also stuck in there. Plus Aladdin and The Little Mermaid. Aladdin was only the cartage but Little Mermaid had the cartage and the box (but was missing the instructions). From the looks of it, I would say that someone brought it from Best Buy then returned it because there is tape all around saying "Best Buy Return" or something around the openings. Then someone else picked it up, played it for a few minutes and put everything in the box. The thing looks hardly played at all. In fact, the instructions for it haven't been opened as it is still it the bag. I might use it as a trade thing or keep it, I haven't decided yet. I already have a Genesis but not in that good of condition.
I also brought with it a 6 Button Genesis controller in the box (though the box has seen better days) for a few dollars. Along with Sonic Chaos for 1 dollar and a Gameboy Cleaning kit for the same. So overall I spent maybe 25 dollars total there.
