My town has an annual weekend every spring for garage sales. It seems like every other house has one that particular weekend. And this is the weekend.

So, I went out today to see what I could find. I didn't expect to find much, to be honest, and I didn't. But I did get a couple of things. I found Jet Force Gemini for $5, which I figured isn't bad considering I never see it in anywhere else.

I also got Hogan's Alley and Stack-Up for NES for $2 all together. They even had their black sleeves. :) I know Stack-Up is fairly rare, so I'm pleased to have found it for only $1.

I plan on going back out to look for more tomorrow, though I really don't think I'll find much around here. It's worth looking, though.

Make sure to ask if they have any video games stuff even if you dont see it!

Umm... sorry to break it to you, but Stack-Up is onyl rare if it is complete or at least has the ROB parts with it.

Yeah, I found that out AFTER I got home with it from gamestop once :(

Yet another reason for me to put money aside for the good ol guide :)

I think you guys need this clarified, stack up is WORTH alot more if it is complete and is harder to find this way, but the cart itself isn't the easiest to find either (R5 in the DP7 guide), but definitely not worth as much as if it were complete.

Nice find there linkster. I would love to find a Stack-up for $1. I'm overdue for a good find.

With regards to Stack-Up you could check the innards and see if you scored a surprise Famicom to NES adaptor:

Nice finds man, I wish there were more garage/yard sales in my area...

...And when they have them, all the stuff for sale is crap.

Thanks Vader. I know Stack-Up (or any game for that matter) is worth more if it's complete, but it's still a good find, especially for a dollar.

Btw, I also was lucky enough to get a complete copy of Caveman Games (NES) from a buddy of mine tonight. Nice! :)
