OK, there's good find posts everywhere.
In this post, you brag about how long it's been since youve found ANYTHING outside of ebay. I KNOW not everyone has great finds every week/month, or even year. So lets hear how pathetic your finds have been.

About a year/year and a half ago, I found about 10 Coleco games, including Wing War for Coleco for $10.00 at a goodwill, Virtually nothing since then.

I don't think I've ever had an amazing find outside an ebay bin or through a trade.

Best was 10 sealed Castlevania SOTN's (GH) for 200 bucks at a flea. Resold those for around 50 a piece.

I've never had a dry spell of more than 6 months. EVER.

I make sure that every time I go out, I buy something, so that I always have something to show for my trips.

You can always tell when the thrifts and garage sales are empty...that's when I come home with brand new games :)

I found an X-Men: Children of the Atom for Saturn for $2 back in July. Haven't found squat since then.

Couple of SMS games at the local goodwill about a year ago. Not a sausage since.

My major claim to fame? A loose Guardian Heroes. At a Funcoland. Almost four years ago.

Although, about six years ago, I picked up my game gear, and about eight game for something like fifteen bucks (from a garage sale).

In any case, those are the only two finds OF MY LIFE. None of the thrifts around here have shit...likewise on the garage sales.

Good finds seem to be pretty few and far between where I am, usually I only manage to pick up a few loose carts for my collection every other week or so and complete games are quite uncommon.

Ironically I actually found something moderately rare for my collection yesterday which was a MIB Hurricanes for £5, but that was all I found and all I've gotten from the wild for about a month or so.

Games have gotten pretty scarce around these parts. I remember finding two Chase the Chuckwagons in the span of a month back in 1996... last week, I was just as excited to find a handful of uncommon ColecoVision games at a Goodwill. Choplifter and Antarctic Adventure aren't jaw-dropping finds, but it's better than nothing, which is what I usually find at most pawn shops and thrift stores these days.
By the way, how much is Choplifter worth? I can't look it up since my DP Price Guide hasn't arrived yet.

other than the occasional find of Jag titles and a few common Odyssey2 titles, aint found jack shit in about a year. Did come across some Atari 400/800 and ST games this weekend. May list them if I decide to part with em..
