    Reposted from September finds (my bad ).

    Been a few weeks since I've last visited a flea market, but here I am today, very happy. First up are my sparse buys from the past two weeks from various stores:



    - Capcom vs. SNK 2, Guilty Gear X, and KoF 2002/2003 were each bought at different EB stores, at $19.99 each new. The EB I got GGX from still had three more sealed copies Surprised. I found that strange seeing as how this game came out quite a few years ago and that the series has quite the cult following. Capcom vs. SNK 2 was new, and was a funny buy when the clerk started pushing the used copies. He stopped halfway through his sentence when he saw that the used copies go for $10 more. I saw him make a big WTF face, funny stuff Smile.

    - Nightshade and Rygar were $7.19 each from Game Crazy.

    - R-Type III was a must buy despite being $6.99 at a local Game Craze. I'm a big shmup fan.

    Today I stopped at the Syracuse Regional Flea Market and was pleasently introduced to some worthy additions to my collection:



    - Micky Mousecapade (NES, complete): $4
    - Robocop (NES, complete): $4
    - Captain America and the Avengers (SNES, complete): $4
    - In the Hunt (PS1, complete, R7 baby!!! Gah!): $3.50
    - Super Nova, Uncharted Waters: New Horizon Big Smile, Battle Blaze, and Super Turrican (with unremovable paint... I needed a filler pick) for $10.

    All I missed out on that I wanted was a clean Super Double Dragon at a different vendor. Another guy picked it up after I moved over to the next box. No biggie since I already have the game, I was just on the look out for one to replace my slightly label damaged copy.

    Well, all of this was from yesterday.



    The Sims 5 in 1 strategy guide - $3. All are in good shape. I'm saving these pups, I'll look for the game CDs from now on and build a huge set to sell on eBay. Wahahahahahaha.


    Upper-left: Vangelis' soundtrack to Antarctica (Japanese CD O_o).
    Upper-right: Peter Gabriel's score for "Birdy".
    Lower-left:MSDN Visual Studio 6.0 Library
    Lower-right: Visual C++ 6.0 Standard

    $1 each. I'm kicking my ass though, I thought it was VB 6, so I left a TON of Visual C++ paperwork behind. The vendor's gone by now, too.


    Office 97 Pro - $3
    Battle Chess Enhanced CD-Rom (complete, Mac) - $2, to eBay it goes!


    Stephen King's It
    Stephen King's The Dark Tower VI: Song Of Susannah
    $2.50 each! I've FINALLY completed the Dark Tower series! Woo!

    I also bought a Performance Dreamcast memory card for $1. It didn't have a cap, though. But, at another vendor (where I got Duck Tales 2 a few weeks back), the guy had a ton of Sega sports games, a few Atari games, and some Dreamcast stuff. He also had a Performance Memory Card box, without memory cards... but with tops. So I asked him how much he wanted for a top.

    He said, "A dollar." A few seconds later, he started laughing, and asked me about the box. I told him, I bought a memory card but it had no tops,and your box had no memory cards... so he let me have the box and the tops for free. I think both him and his wife have started to recognize me as a regular customer, and they've started to take a liking to me. That left me with in very good mood for most of the day.

    I hope to find more good stuff tomorrow.

    Caut - if I didn't already have 'em all on my dosbox, I'd have offered a pretty penny for the Zork Anthology.

    I'm sure someone will want that badly, enjoy watching that sucker's price rise on evilBay

    At Toys 'R Us:
    Dig Dug (DS) new $10
    Circuit City:
    Wild Arms 3 (PS2) new $13

    I've been interested in the Dig Dug games for awhile so it was a build-up process to buy it. As for Wild Arms, I already own 1, 2, and 4 so why not grab 3? Seems fair to me.

    I got mine brand new bit over 2yrs ago, and have seen a few since then. It wasn't in a GameStop or anything, so go figure.

    Mega Drive II in Box with 8 complete games: $7
    Although the box is smashed up to hell, as the seller put all the 8 games inside the box and used some tape to hold the box together :-( And the Mega Drive was dusty as hell...
    Still, everything is working and'll probably go to EBay...

    Additionally, I've got Mario Party 2 fpr $3, which is a superb going price over here!

    Had some nice finds today.

    First thing this morning I found a 32X system with 3 games as well as 2 Sega CD Games and a couple of Genny Games.

    On the way home from that purchase I stopped over at the Salvation Army and found a model 1 Genesis, and model 2 Genesis, Sega CD add on and platform, bunch of loose and half complete Genny games.

    Not too shabby for 30 bucks in total!
