    NES:

    Batman with manual -$1
    Volleyball -$1
    Codename Viper -$2 (Finally got this game)

    Genny:

    Lightening force with box -$2

    PS1:

    Jumping Flash LongBox with box - $4. (One of my favorite games)

    Pretty good day I must say. If anyone has an extra Jumping flash manual PM me and we can work something out.

    Holy shit, go back and get final fight, monkey island and sonic cd. All are GREAT games, especially monkey island, I just played that again on scummvm the other day. I wouldn't pay 8 bucks if they aren't CIB though. But if they are go for it.

    This is my first find, how'd I do?
    Great find considering the Zelda is an original round seal version. I'd be psyched to find Lunar!

    I doubt I'll be hunting this week, bills, and I want to buy Painkiller for PC.

    nothing impressive...

    just an N64 rumble pack for $2.99 ... at least now i have a set of 4, although chances of getting 4 people together and having them want to play N64 is about 0-1% chance

    Didn't find anything tonight. I stopped in at game zone since I had'nt been there in a while and he shitloads of colecovision stuff traded in. Very rare carts too....xonox carts, flipper slipper, wing war, bc II.

    I told him to hold them for me but I dont know if it's gonna be worth it since he charges straight out of the dp guide. Maybe if I can trade in a bunch of junk I'll buy em but otherwise I'll probably pass.

    I got a few ideas of some new places to hit tomorrow so I'm hoping for something lucky =D.
