Not much so far. Found some NES stuff. A Goodwill had a laundry basket full of NES carts for $1 each. Picked up all the stuff I wanted like some Koei game and Kid Icarus. About 11 in total.
Next found a NES Krazy Kreatures for $1 at another Goodwill.
Finally found 2 NES carts I thought were Color Dreams games. Turns out they were by a company called Bunch. What is up with this company? One was called Tagin Dragon or something and the other was some space shooter.

Last night I went to Willow Brook Mall..EB..it was late ,near closing
time....I had $90.00 left to spend on games this week.
I just spend $200.00 on MVS cars off ebay..I'm nuts..
I wanted to buy a few newer released but used games at EB...Man, it was
packed..and the guy behind the counter looked like he was in a
trance..moving real slow....I spent ten minutes in the line without
moving..Then I got aggravated..threw the games on a shelf yelled at him and
his co-worker and left..Saying ..What's wrong with this guy as others left too.
As I left the co-worker took his place...
It's one of the worst experiences I've ever had in EB in awhile and I'm very
patient..I'm around kids all day..
We'll I guess the Lord works in mysterious ways... I wasn't going to be able
to go to the flea market today due to extra work...But something came
up..and I was able to go... and I still had that $90.00....
I got there late,,,and I really didn't find anything I wanted.."until"..My
mom says ..hey I just saw that guy over there put some stuff to the
side..and two kids walk away..he said he wanted $25.00 for it.....I was 2
minutes too late..He had this box of Sega Master System/Gen/Misc stuff..
I asked the Vendor if he sold it..He said yes but he was holding it for an
hour until the two kids came back..
They didn't pay the $25.00 though..They had this guy holding stuff for them
that they might not come back for..Oh Crap on that...this is not Kmart...I
saw them trying the same on other vendors..and buying other stuff...PS
stuff.
I went back to the vendor after about 15 minutes..and took a good look in
the box...
He told me the story about the two kids again..,,,I offered him $30.00..he
didn't take it...I then offered him $50.00 he jumped on it in a
flash....They should of never passed it up in a flea market..At least when I'm around.
We'll I got this big box of stuff and I'm very happy..I'll sell the extra
Gen and Master System...keep the games/Genesis speakers and misc other
stuff.

I've never seen the Genesis Speakers before..I wonder how they were offered..or used.
This is the second box of SMS stuff I've found this month....Awesome.
There was a lot of stuff today I passed up..like boxed Nintendo's ,Boxed PS's,Boxed newer Style Sega Cd unit..Boxed Atari Heavy Sixer etc..
Nintendo carts galore..

My uncle went to the Englishtown flea market today..I don't know what he found yet..
Yesterday he brought me a big box of NES,stuff he found last week,,...
He got a box of games,system etc. for $20.00..I took some of the Games I didn't have out off the box..The rest goes on Ebay.
The one thing that stood out was this Blue Quick Shot Handle looking NES Controller..I've never seen that one either.
http://www.imagemagician.org/images/cokegirl/167744.jpg
list of Sega/ Master System stuff I bought today all in one box......$50.00
Sega Master System...all hookups,2 original plugs and Rf switch..no Gun or basic Controller.
Sega Genesis System with plug...
Sega Genesis Bower Base Converter
Genesis speakers..they have wires like computer speakers...and are new looking.
Sega Master System Control Stick.
Ultimate Superstick(Beeshu Inc) for the ???? It has a Gen/SMS/Atari controller port end.
A bunch of other wires and Ac adapters..Some stuff still in bags. I think one is for the speakers.

As I went slummin at the coast in Eureka, I came to a out of the place little hole in the wall that time forgot. I spoke to the old man and lady who owned the place, my eyes got very very big when I saw their boxed nintendo wall. They had over 100 boxed and mint with booklet games that were bought from a rental store. They had many color dream and camerica games, but most of all, they had a ton of games I did not have. Almost all the games were rare(examples Toki, Hillsfar, Bignose the Caveman, Power Blade 2, Legends of the Diamond, Deathbots, Death Race, Space Shuttle, Etc, ETc,) I bought the 100 nes titles, and they wanted only 200.00!!!! My wife helped seal the deal, and I convinced her it was an investment. I then was told that she had over 100 empty boxes and that for an addtional 30.00, I could take them. The best one was worth the whole lot....Bubble Bobble Part 2. I was also suprised to find in each empty box.........a mint instrcution booklet to go with the game box. WOW WOW WOW :). After this rad score, I will have over 300 boxed and complete nintendo games and I will need only(ha ha) 99 more to complete my set. Instead of doing a picture of what I scored, I am going to send in an updated room pics to show how much my room has grown.

I was able to go into the city this weekend. I picked up Taz-Mania and Uniracers at Microplay for $10 CDN. Uniracers rules!

But the best buy I got was an 11 game package on ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3535081130

Well worth it for Super Adventure Island 2 alone... I'm hoping to get a couple of Canadian equivalents that I don't have. Hopefully I get the package before the postal strike...

That's Awesome...I love to hear the stories behind the finds.
I almost thought you went to a store I know of..with similar details..Very Similar..I'm too cheap to buy the whole wall of used NES games in boxes..and empty boxes...but I've been poking at them here and there..
Hoping the old guy goes cheaper on them..soon..
