May 2007 Finds

[Cornelius]

Picked up Silent Hill (non greatest hits)
and some cart holders.

Total- one dollar.

Damn you! I was all excited to get on and post my Silent Hill (non GH) find for $5. Guess I overpaid

[Cambot]

Let's call this a nice "find" but there was no "purchase":

At an indoor ghetto flea market I found a guy who had a nice SNES with about 20 boxed games including StarFox, F-ZERO, Mario All-Stars and some other somewhat common but decent fighting games and so forth. I asked how much for the bundle and he said he wants $275.00(!!).

I asked if he can sell any of the games seperate and he said "no" all while watching his little TV and without even looking in my direction.

I'll also add that he looked like a total piece of sh*t.

[chrissylas]

Holy crap you guys are insanely lucky. My area has been overtaken by greedy dealers (at the flea market) and pawn shops that hold all old games for the greedy dealers and won't sell them to others.

I did however find a Jaguar and T16 last week at the fleamarket at some dirty guy's booth. The T16 was missing both its power and rf unit and the Jaguar was missing its RF. The T16 came with Keith Courage too. I paid $20 for both and thought that was a good deal. I've confirmed that the T16 works but the Jaguar might need some work.

All stars became a pack-in later on in the SNES's life. Then another pack in, "Super Mario All Stars+ Super Mario World" replaced that. The pack in with mario world in the same cart is difficult to find.

As far as that sticker, I believe you could mail-off for a copy of All stars.

Put a Preorder on Odin Sphere and picked up Space Channel 5 for Dreamcast for 7 bucks.

[Cornelius]

Nothing too special. Kind of disappointing considering how many garage sales I went to (huge neighborhood sale). The biggest suckness was the Battle for Naboo cart... it was in fine shape, but the woman just tore the price tag right off (shouldn't have been on the label in the first place) and mangled the hell out of it. arrgh.

all for ~$15 over several sales.
