Yeah, I got it on Craigslist from the guy for $20. I don't even recall him saying he had Ninja Gaiden; I really lucked out on that one. :)

Now I need to sit down and truly try to beat these. :lol:

I'm going to a neighborhood yard sale tomorrow. I go every year. It's like a mile of yard sales. It's sick. I can't wait.

Dude, you gotta get some stuff to sell to us for the same price you got it for. :lol:

trust me, I don't go to this thing just to shop for me. :) Last year among other things I remember bringing back a huge bag of complete Atari 5200 games that I sold on here.

At yard sales today I bought a working NES, controller, zapper, rf switch, ac adaptor with Tetris and Super Mario Bros. 3 for $10.00. A fair price. BUT it also came with what I thought was a FamiCom controller (which would be weird enough) but was actually a Joycard Sansui SSS controller where you plug it into the audio out and plug headphones into the controller. It's very cool and quite a surprise to find something I'd never even heard of before. Smells smoky though, blech.

I also bought Ballz 3D for $0.50.
