View Full Version : I've had the most awesome luck when it comes to finding NES.

Heh... The first big find that I had, someone was throwing out a Nintendo system, with a few games, and the Miracle Piano teaching system. I was more than happy to take it off their hands, instead of seeing it all go to waste. That was a nice find, from a couple weeks ago. But, today...

There's a town-wide garage sale in the next town over. We go, first couple houses get us nowhere, but then, it happened... My eagle-eyes spotted a nice black box.. An NES Power Set box. Resisting the urge to sprint there, I calmly walk, and check it out. Inside is a Nintendo, 2 controllers, gun, NES Advantage, the power pad, all the hookups, and good games like Bubble Bobble. I bring the box up to the lady and ask her how much..

"Oh, that? A dollar is fine."

I couldn't believe it. I quickly fumbled with my wallet and pulled out the dollar, and we went on our way...

But DAMN, all that for a dollar, I'm ecstatic. And you'll probably see some of this in the B&S forum later, heheh. :P

A DOLLAR?! Man I'm definitely going around to some garage sales this summer to look for some of that stuff! The flea markets around here never have anything cheap, usually they're more than whats on ebay. :eek 2:
