    Default Weekday finds 13/1-17/1

    I think I'm first out of the blocks this week:

    I picked up NBA Jam TE (Gamegear) boxed and minty-fresh for £2 from a charity shop on my lunch-hour. I would've got Talespin aswell, but I didn't have any more change on me. I'll get it tomorrow if it's still there.
    Also had The Addams Family (Master System) land on my doorstep this morning.

    Well, this isn't really a find as much as it is a pondering: I found a boxed SNES (original) at a thrift for $25 with a gun and Mario Paint (w/ mouse & pad), I just don't know if it's worth the investment. I peeked in the box and the SNES appears to be of the yellowed variety...any thoughts as to whether it's worth it to pick this up? The box was pretty good shape with styro inserts (unsure of manuals).

    Personally, i dont buy SNES's when they are yellowed. If you dont really care about that, then try to bargain her down to $20, and then that would be a nice buy. If you dont have one, and want the box with it, then go for it.

    Also, i found a Hang-on/Safari Hunt in a box i got with SMS stuff for free.
