Given that the area we were in is largely hispanic/african american in a, let's call it "not so nice" area of the city, yeah I'd friggin LOVE to know this things history.

[saferkefka]

That is confusing... I bet that system has a cool story of how it got to where it is... if only sfcs could talk...

since he lives in the same area i do, it more than likely came from us.

Not many yard sales today but got lucky on the return trip home.

(2) GBC + 1 GBA w/ Super Mario Bros. Deluxe and TMNT Fall of the Foot Clan - $15

For $20:

- Loose SNES
- 8 games (RPG's such as King of Dragons)
- Loose PS1
- GameCube controller

Would take pictures but a lot of this stuff is dirty and needs to be cleaned.

[Kitsune Sniper]

Jonah Hex, MST3K Essentials DVDs (both new) - $5 for both
Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth (DVD version) with manual - $3

Didn't buy it from you but possible youre the origin. That being said, where's your shop cause now I'm curious I thought I knew all the vintage gaming options in my general area and I have no idea who you are.

The Sfc! It talks!...

Anyway that's cool but I was hoping for a cooler story... this was kinda a disappointment now...

Like a japanese kid comes over from japan with his system and fights against diversity and makes friends with a young african american boy. Then the japanese boy's new friend needs money to pay off some drug dealers that somehow blame him for losing a bunch of drugs, even though he had nothing to do with it! So the japanese boy sells off his treasured sfc that his now dead dad gave to him before he left for america so his new best friend would be safe!

I smell summer blockbuster...

[saferkefka]

Hahaha. I usually get them from ebay. we're located in wind gap, pa about a 20 - 30 minute ride from Allentown. I dont know if you're familiar with the encounter comic book shop or not, but he had pal bootleg famicom that was originally sold from our shop. i sold it to a regular of ours for 10 bucks, and he traded it in there.

I picked these up recently:
Uchuu Keibitai SDF (Space Defending Force) - Famicom
Mighty Final Fight - Famicom
Battletoads / Double Dragon - SNES
Dragon Warrior Monsters 2 Cobi's Journey - GBC

I could barely find anything about Uchuu Keibitai SDF online, but I'm glad i ordered a copy as it's a great little vertical shmup from HAL.
Battletoads / Double Dragon and Dragon Warrior Monsters 2 Cobi's Journey were free from an uncle getting rid of some stuff.

So I don't usually post my finds lately out of laziness but I got a damn good find today:

First went to the swap meet on the reservation, I got:
NES Cart + dust cover only:
Final Fantasy
Bomberman
Zelda II gold (oddly the only copy of zelda 2 I've ever found)
$2 each

Kuon PS2 CIB - $2

Boogerman + Donkey Kong Country SNES carts only - $6

Then I went to the other swap meet and didn't find shit until the last row, where at one stand I paid $5 total for:
Sega Saturn system only, no cords
TI-83 Plus calculator
and the best find...
a Game Axe console

The last one sold on eBay for $185. Its a portable Famicom thing, it turns on but I don't have any famicom games to test it. Now I can pay my car insurance.

My Second Pickup.
.. and Flea Market


If you read the story,my big find from last week from the collector,though he says he’s not a collector he sure had enough games to be one.

I gave him a call the a few days later to touch base with him on other things he said he wanted to sell..When I called he said he was just looking through the boxes and started to name a few things in the boxes...One thing I heard him say I thought my ears were deceiving me..The only day we could meet was Sunday,yesterday at 5pm as my friend was to go see him to to get some sealed NES games..I waited all week in anticipation to go get this stuff,the week could not go fast enough yet it did.

Sunday I woke up so early,just excited to go see this stuff.I may no longer collect games in bulk but I still get excited when I get new stuff.

.Sunday sitting around did me no good so I decided to go to a Small Flea market where a friend is selling stuff..and see if I get lucky.


I hit a Garage sale on the way and picked up the Top loader for $25.00..






I get to the Flea Market..

Nothing..I circled that place three times and didn’t find one game..I stop to talk to my friend and he says that he saw someone selling Atari 2600 stuff earlier there,I went to look again and didn’t find anything,Looking deeper on tables I did saw a used Gamecube in box for $15.00 and PS2 games for $8.00 each.




As I’m talking to my friend vendor at the flea,two morons(age18-20) are standing there and putting his prices and him down..(while he was off to the side..They are leaning toward me that the guy sucks,that his prices on games are too high that he’s a bad,just making an outright joke of the guy in front of people..Making a big laugh of it being two asses...

I could not take it anymore so I turned to the guys and said,Look if you can get all that you say you can for a quarter or dollar then go get it,If you can get all that,bring it to me I’ll buy it all from you,I’ll give you my info to contact me..go get it..PISSED
...the two guys stepped back and the ones guys smile dropped,he looked so shocked that someone would tell him off...they left..I hate that crap..they never even did business with my friend before and his prices are not high.






After that I get to talking to a lady vendor shopping who had heard them being so rude.
She was telling me about how her basement was flooded.I asked what did she do with the stuff..


She had actually sold my friend vendor a big box of NES and SNES games for $5.00 because they sat in water..I checked them out and they were salvageable..She noted on a bunch of empty games boxes that she had at her truck that she was going to toss so I asked to take them...I felt so bad taking them as she would take no money for them. I bought an broken Earing holder off her table(just took anything) and handed her $10.00



The Boxes on the lower right of the picture are empties and the flood damaged boxes..



....................
My NES friend was to meet up with me at the flea market and we were to go see the collector guy together but he was fooling around,so I left not wanting to be late..



One thing that we(the collector and I) did talk over was that,he knew the worth price of the things he’s selling –yet does not want to deal with selling things one by one.If he sells it he wants to close his eyes to it and it be gone..I just wanted to make sure as I’m not out to beat anyone,this is not a flea market haggle deal whereas someone bought out a locker and threw everything on the ground.this guy put his heart into this stuff and took care of it..


We made a deal on the items that he was happy with...and I went home..

[Videogamerdaryll]

More Pictures.

Ohh The Xbox 360 Games I paid $42.00 for the lot..I don't buy much for myself,I can't afford to buy new games so I buy old 360 games and play them.

Need info on these Star Fox cards and book





Missing anything?what would be missing?the book open above has cards in it.



As with the items from last week they are ‘all for sale’..I have some on ebay and I have been trying to list day by day but I have other things to do..I have already sold things....if your going to PM me don’t low ball me..

Kuon is a great game, and extremely overlooked in my opinion. I picked up my copy for GS for like $6 a couple years ago and it was worth every penny the first time I played through.

My Second Pickup.

Thanks a lot. I just burst into flames.

[Kitsune Sniper]

Missing anything?what would be missing?the book open above has cards in it.

If the scratch and sniff cards are intact, you're looking at a hell of a prize.

[Mayhem]

That could quite easily be $500 sitting right there...

[c0ldb33r]

How much did you pay for EB? Great find! if there was a drool emoticon, I would insert it here.

[Sunnyvale]

Well, no CIB EB's for me
I dunno if it's just local or everywhere, but Value Village picks one color of tag and sells anything with that color for .99 on Mondays. So, I always try to be there when the doors open on Mondays, durp!

Everything there was .99 each. I'm so sick of messing with GH crap, but at a buck, eh, I'll mess with it.

$7 total for the DS games and DR Mario GBA. $1.50 total for the Thomas DVD's. $3 for Mega Man X7, $2 for the Eye Toy game, $5 for the NIB virus protection, $20 for the PS2, $1 for the 2 SNES games.

And if Daryll wants to trade, I've got an extra PS2 now
