I stopped by a local second hand store today to check out what they had. Usually, I won't find any games there - just odd CD's and junk. I was surprised to see a file crate jam packed with an SNES system and games. There was also a Genesis pile with 42 games and system, but they wanted $95.00. Not that it might not be worth it; I'm just more of a Nintendo fan.
They wanted $85.00 for the SNES stuff, but she said she could do $80.00. I came back with $70.00, but we ultimately settled on $75.00.
Normally, I'd never spend that much in a second hand shop, but their profits do go towards the local Women's Center. That makes me feel a little bit better. Still, look at some of these games!
These are all mint or dang near mint. Each is complete with games still in the plastic baggie, dust covers and all inserts, instruction manuals and posters. There are a few gems here.

What you need to understand is that ALL the games are like this - complete and pristine. In fact, after opening these boxes, we're convinced they've never been played. The books are crisp and crack when you open them. The plastic bags on the games are folded too neatly and there are no save files on the RPG's. I figure if you just take the 16 games alone it only comes to $4.69 each. Add a like-new system to that (the bottom half is SNES brown) and that makes it even better. So what do you think?
Here's the complete list of games:
Final Fantasy II
Secret of Mana
Super Castlevania IV
Street Fighter II Turbo
Young Merlin
Super Star Wars
Super Empire Strikes Back
Super Return of the Jedi
Mortal Kombat
Family Feud
Nigel Mansell's World Championship Racing
Madden NFL '94
NCAA Basketball
F1 Pole Position
NBA Jam
Tecmo Super Bowl
