[BydoEmpire]

This was my first day off in three weeks, so took advantage and went to Flea World.

NES Advantage - $5 - needed one badly.
Gradius (loose) - $5 (more than it's worth, but it's embarassing to not have Gradius, plus it's a great game)
Joe Montana Sports Talk Football (cib) - $0.99
Centurion: Defender of Rome (loose) - $0.99
Risky Woods (cib) - $6.99
Buck Rodgers: Countdown to Doomsday (cib) - $9.99
Space Harrier (SMS, box) - $1.99
Fantasy Zone (SMS, loose - $2.99
Hang On/Astro Warrior (SMS, loose) - $2.99

A few decent deals, and a few games I just wanted. Risky Woods is surprisingly cool. I picked up he box the last few times I went to Game Traders but didn't get it. I'm glad I finally did. I've wanted Fantasy one for a while. I don't like buying loose SMS & Genny games, but I'm glad I picked it up. Very fun.

[Xexyz]

What an overpriced day at the flea market. The most annoying thing about it was that there were 7 different vendors with at least one NES for sale. Not one of them was under $25 and none of them would budge on the price...

Games weren't cheap either, I only picked up rare titles that I didn't already own, although I just found out that The Guardian Legend isn't rare at all :/. Oh well, first time I've seen it in the wild, so I didn't hesitate. The three games I picked up were:



The Guardian Legend (w/ sleeve and... woo hoo, Mario Sticker!): $5
Chameleon Twist 2 (N64): $5
Raiden Trad (Genesis, complete and in nice shape except for that nick on the cart label ): $4

I blame the bad weather on the lack of variety. The rain has been on and off all morning, discouraging the out door vendors from setting up their booths.

EDIT: I just realised after adding these to my inventroy that I'm now at 600 unique video game titles... yikes.

[Spycee]

At least some good finds for me :

Dreamcast :
- Sonic Adventure Limited Edition (CD+case+cover of the manual)
- Power Stone 2 (complete)
- Marvel vs Capcom 2 (CD only)

5$ each

[Cauterize]

oh i love the boot sales... i hit 3 today with limited cash, but still came back with a smile
PS1 games are appearing on nearly every stall as if they are worthless junk nowadays and being sold at 50p a piece... Needless to say, they get snagged by me :P

After haggling with one seller, getting Alex Kidd for MD (Not pictured) for 50p, i then went onto the next stall to see Resi Evil 4 (GC) and asked how much it was... £10...
Then to hear in the background, the previous seller said to her friend "He runs a gameshop doesnt he!?"
I turned my head and winked at them
Funny moment for me i guess...

75p each




Pikachu GB Bag - £1

Pokemon Pinball - 50p
Sega Data Organizer - 50p
