I guess its time for some real finds. I only found 2 NES games at two damn flea markets It seems people are setting up booths especially for selling video games and charging ridicolous prices. One guy tried charging me $20 for a cart only copy of Metroid for the NES. When I said no thanks some kid standing next to me told me it was a good price because its RARE! So I laughed and told him you buy it then. Why is anything old super rare to some people? This is what I got.

Karnov-$2
Gauntlet 2-$2

That funny. I have a locking display case at a flea market here locally. Right now I run it just to help fund my Xbox collection. I actually have 2 copies of Metriod for NES in it at a whopping $8 Each. I figured it was a decent price to ask sence it is a great game and will alway have some demand. When I price things, I just try to under price my local compititon like Slackers, CD TradePost, Ect. I still make money and give people games at a decent price. I've only been doing this for a couple months now, but I already have a few repeat customers since I change my stock every week. Sorry to hear you can't pick up good games and decent prices. Pm me if you want a copy of Metriod for $8 plus shipping,

Everything here for $60 - not bad. Many good SNES titles there too. The systems are dirty and yellowed, but I'll clean them up anyway. The games are very clean, surprisingly.

That's one disgusting SNES. :P Nice SNES games though.

I went to play'n'trade and bought a couple of PSX games:

Chessmaster 3D
Shellshocked
Star Wars: Rebel Assault 2
Contender
Blade
Space Jam

Total: 14.42


And after the purchase the dude working pointed out that he had Suikoden in a case and asked if I was interested. Needless to say I went to the ATM and got it immediately after work. So I ended up getting a copy of Suikoden for 38 dollars and some change. I am glad to say that this is not a joke either. I am definitely excited that I can dodge the Ebay prices.

Went to the flea market today. Didnt find much except a Nintendo game. Its not gold so meh. The old man who sold it to me told me to never expose it to direct sunlight, never get it wet, and never play it after midnight.

Holy. ****ing. sh**.

How much did you pay for that thing?


EDIT: Saw what you tried to get on eBay...guess you can't get that much ($2,700) unless it's gold cart?

Welcome to game economics 101.

You should dobule check the date when Vinnysdad posted that "find" Mewtwo.

As for me, well I don't really have any finds since everything here was bought new at retail, but since I've got a nice digital camera, and just created a PhotoBucket account (no more yucky ImageShack for me), I'll post a picture :P




Had to start picking up some of the NIS games. I noticed they're mimicing Atlus with the limited print run deal. La Pucelle and Makai Kingdom were both $19.99 each. The DS games were both $29.99.

Please, everyone with a DS, go out and buy Konami Classics Series: Arcade Hits. It is a well done compilation, and features a bunch of quality coin-ops. I really want to see some follow ups!

[Rogmeister]

I definitely plan on picking up the Konami DS game...I just haven't seen it in a store yet. But I'll grab it the first time I do.

[jcalder8]

I know its a really crappy price for a find but after waiting for over 6 months since the first announcement of it I finally own:

GUITAR HERO 2!!!

[jcrosby]

I picked all this up for $50. There was originally 3 NES consoles and 52 games, but I gave one console and 2 games to a friend cause I owed him for a playstation he gave me. It came with all the hookups, controllers and zappers as well.

Looks like I got an R7 with Blackjack and an R6 with Deathbots, so w00t.

At least I fooled someone even if it was a day late.

[Kitsune Sniper]

I went back to the two Gamestops from last month to pick up more items for trade and sale bait. I got six complete DDR Konamix, two loose copies, and two loose Final Fantasy Tactics, all for less than fifty bucks. Apparently the manager got the Suikoden I left behind. I also got an Edge card, finally.

I'll complain on friday. :P

[theshizzle3000]

I have been unfortunate with the Gamestop sales they had already been cleared out by the time I made it around. I was able to get these SNES and Genny titles for some pocket change.

Battleship (GEN)
The Pagemaster (GEN)
Super High Impact (SNES)
Dig and Spike Volleyball (SNES)
