Well fellas, I must say today was the most epic day I've had since I started (seriously) collecting.

Went back to the pawn shop I mentioned a couple days ago and picked up the snowboard kids games which I.....also mentioned a couple days ago :P

Image

The guy told me to go ahead and grab one more so I got:

Snowboard Kids 1
Snowboard Kids 2
Pokemon Snap

for $5 out the door.

Next I went to a local video game store and grabbed:

Image

Karnov (NES) $4
Buster Busts Loose (SNES) $5
Some SNES dust covers for .50 a piece

Nothing too exciting and at this point I was going to call it a day....but boy am I glad I didn't.

I knew there was another pawn shop a couple miles down the road but last time I went there all they had was a few random SNES sports games and they were selling them for $5 each.

But I said "eh what the hell" and decided to swing by.

Luckily I did as someone had just sold them their entire NES collection. Every game came with a black sleeve and every game was in incredible condition.

For $3 each I got:

Image

Burgertime
Super Dodgeball w/ manual
Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers w/ manual
RC Pro Am (the only game not in amazing condition, has a little sticker residue which will be easily removed)

Image

TMNT II The Arcade Game
TMNT III The Manhattan Project
The Legend Of Zelda

Image

Mike Tyson's Punch Out
Mega Man 2 w/ manual
Mega Man 4

All of which was a pretty epic score for my collection as I didn't have any of these games but love 'em all.

As I left that pawn shop I saw a place a little ways down the road called "Movies and Games" with "buy sell trade" under the name. I figured with the luck I'm having I might as well stop in. Turned out to be a video rental place but they did have a couple shelves of games they were trying to sell. That's when I spotted the side of a Paper Mario (N64) box and I said to my self "you've got to be kidding me". When I pulled it out they had put a white sticker over "Paper" and another sticker under "Mario" which they had written "Party" on. To the right of this monstrosity was a small price tag marked "24.99". I lol'd and left.

Complete I'm assuming?

With the Vita announced, the days of the UMD complete games there are fleeting. I would love a racketboy PSP guide.

Picked this up for $80, plan on reselling everything but Dragon Warrior IV, Final Fantasy, and Robotrek to recoup a good chunk of the cost.

So how does it work - do you just go in there with the saved files on a CD-R and ask them to print them out for you, or are you able to do it yourself on a PC printer? I'm a total noob when it comes to this stuff :?

I just print mine on photo paper using Undercover XP.
