pulled it out, saw the Tengen label on the back

"Heh... maybe it's Tetris."

I then let out an evil cackle the likes never heard by my poor mother.

i know most of u guys go to flea markets, theres no flea markets here, no thrifts, but there is swam meets, these swan meets might not be the ones u know there not like a big place with alot of video games for sale, no mine is outdoor and its like people having garage sales, theres about 200+ people selling crap, so u really have to keep an eye out :o but when u find something say a nes cart its never more than 50 cents, snes and genesis never more than $2, but the people are really retarted unlike flea markets they dont argue there just money hungry, so u can always i mean always talk down the price i didnt find anything this weekend all i really saw was a 3do with some games for 45, but i had all the games laready so i didnt find anything

[Sega Hitman]

My trip to the flea market Friday was a dud, but I did find some decent stuff at EB:
PSX Tomba--$10
PSX Robo Pit--$4
PSX Wipeout 3--$3
Robotron 64--$4

I also found some really cheap strategy guides at a Gamestop on Thursday:
House of the Dead 2--$1
Crash Bandicoot 3--$2
Resident Evil 2--$2
Hybrid Heaven--$2

Since when is EB selling complete PSX games for $3 and $4 dollars a piece? I'd never noticed that before. They're not all sports crap either, there's a lot of really good stuff to be had.

I was pissed at one Garage sale, boxed(box no foam) intellevision with 10 boxed complete games(non worth anymore than 5) for the great price of 149. i said, is what the original price on it or are you selling it for that? he said no what was the sale price. I said no way are you sure your correct. Yep. thats the price, take it or leave it. I laughed and he said that that was the ebay going rate. I laughed again and told him i'll give him $30 at the most, he asked me to leave.

then made my way to some tent sale and picked up a handful of DC games(nothing good) for $25 and a gitaroo man for 5.

Nothing too great this weekend, a bunch of common NES and Genesis games for $1-$4 each. Highlights include a boxed River City Ransom.

Yesterday I got a bunch of mid-seventies to eighties RPG and Avalon Hill board games for $1 to $2 each. One of them sold on eBay for $35 so I did pretty good!

Today I passed up an old-school full-size baseball arcade game, probably dating from teh mid-eighties. It was a steal at $50 but I don't have the room for it.

So today morning i had to get a new bag for skewl, so i go to the nearest mall an dbrought two n64 games. There's been a video game store there for a while but i never go there because the prices are crazy. Snes rpgs are 50$-70$ . So today i decide to go since I'm there. And i see a new guy that i havent seen before. I told the guy I was regular customer and i said I have never see you before and hes like yeah I started working here 2 weeks ago. Anywayz im thinking to myself time to take advantage of this new guyand get cheap snes rpgs. So he's like what would u like and i say can I get Secert oF Evermore for snes. He's like 70 bucks and i say how bout 2 n64 games for trade. He likes what do u have and I showed him Blast Crops and Mario Kart and he said fine but I had to pay 15$ so I say sure. Right then the orignal owner comes from the backs and finds out the deal and says srry i can give it to you for 35 :evil: So i decide to give to n64 games and pick lethal enforcers loose for snes(is that a good deal). Trades done and as i'm leaving I see lethal enforecers in a big box like display one for sega. And I'm like can i give back the snes letahl enforecers and get the sega in the box with revoler he says fine but I had to pay 15$. So he hands me the box , its huge. Then i give him the 15$ and I say thanks and the moron forgot to take back the snes version LOL . So basically i have the

and all for two n64 games and 15$

ENGLISH

[Dire 51]

Blast Corps + Mario Kart 64 + cash = 2 copies of LETHAL ENFORCERS? Yuck.

Should have kept the N64 games and the cash, rather than getting those pieces of garbage. Konami may have been gods when it came to 8 and 16 bit gaming, but when it came to those games they proved that not even they were infallible, imo...

And I agree with Yashiro - English PLEASE.

[RetroYoungen]

Had a great find (well, for me anyway) earlier today, at of all places, FUNCO!

For $2.99 apiece, each for Genesis:

Aero the Acro-Bat
Bonanza Brothers
Dick Tracy
Marsupilami
ROCKET KNIGHT ADVENTURES ( !!!!!!! )

And for the NES, Racket Attack for 89 cents. All of the Genesis games were boxed with instructions too. So happy, ROCKET KNIGHT ADVENTURES!

Total price: about 15 bucks. Sweet... Now I only wish I'd picked up one of the Nomads at CGE.

[WiseSalesman]

then made my way to some tent sale and picked up a handful of DC games(nothing good) for $25 and a gitaroo man for 5.

Man...i want a copy of gitaroo man...i keep hearing such good things about it.

[Half Japanese]

Gitaroo Man is wonderful. ALso check out Mad Maestro!

[DDCecil]

Yes, do anything you can to get Gitaroo Man!

My small find:

R-Types for PSX (New - 5.99)

Also bought a used Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories for my brother's B-Day. He is going to be ticked it didn't come with the 3 cards...

[kai123]

I got MGS2: Substance for ps2 at blockbuster for $15. Came complete and mint. The Guy said no one rented it. Not that great of a find. So far this version is 10 times better than the xbox version.
