Complete Tengen Tetris for $5!

[GetImOliver]

Find of the moment: Tengen Tetris. Complete with pristine box, manual, customer feedback card, sleeve, and even a freaking poster. I can't believe the pawn shop man didn't know what he had! Just had to tell everyone how geeked I am

I need to visit the pawn shops more around here. I just hate going in them. This is just such a hick part of the country. :/

You go into most any pawn shop around here and usually the first thing you see is guns. No, not light guns, real ones. It's a bit unnerving to me.

Are they loaded and pointing at you? Why are they unnerving?

Anyway, junky pawn shops are the best. I have a place that I totally cleaned out (I think) for a song, because it is literally piles and piles of random stuff everywhere. Think of a gigantic "old school" Goodwill, minus the used underwear and waffle irons. They were so happy just to get rid of some of their endless crap that they accepted my insulting offers. I had to pull out lots and lots of random items, but there were many treasures behind the shit.

I have my mind set on going into the store and looking for games and first thing I see is hundreds of guns. And maybe some are loaded, how am I to know? Plus they usually have the games crammed into a tiny area past the guns and hicks thet are loitering around inside the store. They keep $3 NES games in glass cases. With all those guns visible in sight when you walk in the door, who in their right mind would try to steal a $3 NES game?

Anyway, I did find a decent copy of Kid Chameleon at one pawn shop here with the box but no manual. $3 was a good price though. Aside from that and one other pawn shop the rest just have overpriced crap.

Sounds like a tiny ol' junky tiny pawn shop near downtown here. I got a *sealed* TMNT3 (NES) for $4 or $5 there. Some of their other stuff was a bit pricey though. (2600 carts for $2..)
