Mooooooooooved from July Finds...

Was a rather successful weekend...

Well while I am in one city for the week my girlfriend is in another. Usually she is adamantly against going to Flea Markets without me (as it is my thing and not hers), she did go this Saturday to my favorite Flea Market to look for 'game related' things for me since I am graduating this Friday. Let's just say she was quite lucky...

She got:

135 loose NES games (very few dupes) $190 (~$1.40 a game)
Martian Gothis (PS1) $1
Resident Evil : Directors Cut (PS1) $1
Resident Evil: Directors Cut Guide $.50

Funny side story now...

So she texts me and says "This couple has a Pac-Man phone in its original box, but they want $75. Is it worth that?" I say no way that is ridiculous. So she says "What should I offer?" I respond in a joking manner (hysterically laughing to myself as I text back) with "$20." My girlfriend is definitely the sweetest girl in the world and believes every word I say, not to mention she is not much of a haggler. So sweet girl that she is [with a sticker clearly and boldly labeled $75] says "Could you do better on the price" and the husband of the couple says "What are you thinking?" She responds with "20!" [if it was me I would have crawled out of my skin to say that] and he goes "IT'S YOURS!" as the guys wife goes "What? really?!" He is like "Yeah, let the girl have it." Haha...needless to say I was shocked.



Then today I had a chance to go to the Flea Market...

It was generally a bust. I got:

Banjo Tooie + Goemon's Great Adventure (N64) $5
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix [23 CD Audio book Set] $10
1982 Pac-Man Glass (NEW) $.75

I came home and got on craigslist. Posted for just 30minutes was "Original Nintendo System and 50+ Games with controllers $35" SCORE! So I email the lady, she responds that it is available and I go grab it.

So! I got 53 quality games (some with instructions) + Toaster System + Hand Made Game Holder + 2controllers and Orange Light Gun AND she was like I am gonna give you this PS2 too cause I don't want it...SCORE!!

All for $35

So the weekend turned out better than I thought

I will try to post some pics after I clean them up a bit.

135 loose NES games (very few dupes) $190 (~$1.40 a game)

Please, I think when you get the chance pics or a game list would be in order! That's not a bad price at all for that amount of NES games, especially if they're not all sports.

I've noticed that sometimes people will put crazy prices on stuff on the off chance that someone will pay that much. (I see a lot of that coming from antiques dealers) They were probably waiting for a >$10 offer.

As for me I went to the local flea today, and it was hoooot outside. There were a very few amount of people set up today. I dug through a $3 a piece box of remotes and offered $5 for both a Harman/Kardon and a Pioneer remote, both for CD players. I also got a Franklin SA-98 Spelling Ace spellchecker computer, mib for $1. All of that stuff's going to eBay. I'm hoping to get $10-15 a piece on the remotes, and $20 for the spellchecker. I wouldn't usually get this much for a Franklin spellchecker (they aren't worth much), but it's vintage and in excellent condition with the instructions & box.

I didn't find any video game stuff today ):. My favorite game resaler wasn't set up today and there were not many vendors around.

Get an Action Replay 4M Plus if your want to play imports. It functions as a RAM cart, memory cart, and region converter. Plug it into the expansion slot and you're good to go.

Guess I'm not the only one that's being affected by Mexican customs... I didn't see many people at the flea market today.

I only bought one thing, a complete copy of Cool Spot for the Genesis in great shape. That was one buck.

Legally, you can't sell Creative Suite Premium. But you can. You just have to say the item's been registered already. Depending on who bids on it you might get quite a few bucks. I don't beleive you have to activate the programs. Adobe can still complain and take down your auction though.

Also, Warcraft 1 for the Mac isn't worth that much... unless it's a CIB copy. That kinda bumps up the price a teensy bit.

Also, I HATE YOU SO MUCH orangest I want that poster T_T
