$72 :)

Not the deal of the day by any means, but it is the cheapest that I've seen it in a long time.

Don't buy from people in the building, Don't buy from people in the pavilions, there's no deals to be had. just look for people with boxes of junk on their folding tables, and don't be afraid to bargain! All of those prices up there were about half of what they asked. And you gotta go early, and on big sale days, like Memorial day. Labor day is another big one.

there is 1 seller in the building that sells games. i bought a handful of saturn games from him only because they were a little bit cheaper than ebay prices.

i have only walked around outside a handful of times and have never seen anything worth a purchase. which explains why i have only gone a handful of times. there was, however, 1 seller outside that i found who had a handful of boxed sega games. but they were ALL horribly sun faded. those poor games just sit out in the sun getting roasted for hours on end.

Yeah, outside's where a lot of the good stuff is. You have to look under the tables, which is where a lot of big bins of stuff gets put. This was all I got, because I ran out of cash. I passed up an Atari 400 with the disk drive, and cassette player. I also passed on a ton of NES/Atari/Genesis games I didn't want/already had. If you can only go certain times go on a holiday like labor day or Memorial day when there's lots of sellers.

What with the GC version and XBOX Live version, I don't know if anyone cares about Ikaruga for the DC anymore. But I do. And at $40, I was happy to have it.

I found Pac-Man for NGPC fully boxed mint condition with joystiq modification to make the directional stick only go horizontal and vertical for 16 euros.

Not bad :twisted:

Just found Splatterhouse 2, Ghouls'n Ghosts and Zombies for the Megadrive! Now I just gotta put some sugar in the dude's coffee to get the price down a bit! ;)
