from the shop that's horribly priced on everything almost all the time:
My flea market (Though only one in my area inside an hour of traveling) has become this completely. There is 1 guy with like 4 tables who sells all video games at eBay or above prices, games for the same system in different boxes ($5, $10, $15, etc).

His an asshole who works with his brother, if you go early enough you will notice one of them is never at the stall, that;s because they are off buying video games from regular sellers (who do the whole "$3 each" style thing) and then reselling them according to what price they find on eBay via there phones.

Found Lufia and Breath of Fire yesterday for the SNES. Didn't find any games today, but I did find this...

...for .80 cents, which was too cute to pass up. My camera's on the fritz, but I swear her looks just like that. Apparently it's a McDonalds toy from 2006. I wish I had known about these in 2006, cause I would have bought me some Happy Meals. :D

There's a shop like that at my local flea market too. Some of his stuff is reasonable (PS1/N64 games are $5 or lower), but other games he has marked far to high. $10-15 for all Gamecube games. $10 for all Game Boy/Game Boy Color. It sort of breaks my heart, especially the Game Boy games. (though I'm hoping he gets a Shante one day and doesn't know the difference :roll: ) There used to be another shop there that sold N64 and earlier gen games for $3, or 2 for $5, but they're not there anymore and the other random sellers there don't have squat. :?

This is and probably will forever be the most ridiculous deal I've ever got.

I found out that a friend I have known for a while, but haven't seen in years, wants to sell some of his old game stuff. I didn't take pics of the Saturn games, but they are

Albert Odyssey (no manual)
Darius Gaiden
Galactic Attack
Panzer Dragoon
Panzer Dragoon 2

Those are neat, but the bulk of the deal is below =)

Image

I finally got a Turbo Duo =) With Lords of Thunder inside. Also got a few other games with it

Image

The HuCards (the two missing manuals are Legendary Axe and Pac-Land)

Image

The CD Rom games. Lots of rpg goodness. Last but not at all least...

Image

Probably some of the rarest games I now own are in here. What a way to start off getting a duo.

Oh, and I paid $140 for the whole lot >.>

Yeah, I fell in love with the core system I got from you. What was really fun about it was I did not know what games I was getting, or how many. Never would have expected so many top notch titles.

Now to find the "must haves" for this bad boy

$12 from Pawn Shop, seriously like new (Even had the foam around the plug), been looking for one for awhile but everytime I see one it is either too much (compared to buying new) or a fake. Best of all it didnt even have a shitty sticker on it (card tag attached via elastic band).

On the local Classifieds website I saw that a guy was moving abroad and selling all his consoles. Unfortunately I was a few hours late phoning him and everything was sold except the Xbox bundle. I was neve interested in an Xbox but at the price he wanted I grabbed the following:

It's all PAL, the games are all original and I paid 100 euros. 8)

Stupid multiple post...
Anyway, I have no clue which game I should play first. Probably Conker... BTW the games without covers are: Dead or Alive 3 and Splinter Cell.
I guess I'll be selling most of the games after I give them all a try.
