A few weeks ago, I was at a yard sale and the woman had a few NES games. I asked her if she had anymore and she said that she thinks she does and that she would take my number and call me if she finds them. So, last night, she calls and I got a decent NES haul for dirt cheap:

2 Complete NES systems, several strategy guides and Nintendo Power magazines, and about 50 games (all with manuals). I can't remember all that I got, but here are some that I can think of off the top of my head:

-Lolo
-Lolo II
-Final Fantasy
-Adventure Island 1
-Adventure Island 2
-Adventure Island 3
-Dragon Warrior
-Dragon Warrior II
-Dragon Warrior III
-Dragon Warrior IV
-Classic Concentration
-The usual SMB trilogy
-Zelda
-Castlevania series
-Ghost Lion
-Ulitma: Exodus
-Ultima: Quest of the Avatar
-etc...

[toddst]

How much you end up paying for that lot Todd?

I got it for $25. If I am paying 50 cents a game, then, in my opinion, that is a great deal. Others might disagree though...
