    I pretty much stick to mid-Arlington, Grand Prairie, and Irving. Anything west of that's your territory. Unless I get bored one day. Which seems to happen a lot lately. That's why I end up in Lewisville, or down in Athens, TX occasionally.

    First up are my birthday presents. My birthday was February 27th but I received these gifts on March 1st, which is when my b-day party finally occured.


    -Thunderbirds (cart only): Game Boy Advance
    -Rad Racer (cart only): NES
    -Elder Scrolls III Morrowind regular edition and not GOTY (disc and case): Xbox
    -Game Boy Advance SP system (blue): system and adapter, nice shape
    -The Dark Knight (dvd): Full Screen version *

    *Didn't even ask for TDK for my birthday, so I'm not overly upset about getting Full Screen


    Since my birthday........

    -NFL 2K5 (complete) for Playstation 2: two copies at $2 each from Movie Gallery, one was complete and the other was disc & case without the manual

    lil dusty, comes with the brick, powers up and games work but it has a controller port issue.... prolly just trash it unless someone wants it cheap to fix.

    the mighty dupes...... can never have too many huh.... at least i have a few working zaxxons now. also the blank cart is .....another qbert. actually got a box and instructs to one of these. ooooo zaxxon been itchin to play that tooooooooo long

    more

    almost done now

    pop goes the weasel goes the weasel go pop
    about 35 games in all, so so system with nice accessories. was just buying for the game factor. didn't even see the goodness in the lot. how lucky of me to find for $30

    You were very lucky on the q-berts cubes, its a r6 and heres what the rarity guide says about it
    Based on the 1983 Mylstar coin-op. Like the Atari 2600 version, this game was barely released. Consider yourself lucky if you have one, they're rare by today's standards.

    Swlovinist and I went in on it. We made a deal already for some of the games. I think I am going to keep the system now. My friends are wanting to play.

It can be for any hobby or type of items, from video games to motorcycles to kids toys and clothing.

    There will be a video game swap meet in April I'm looking forward to, every time it happens there's always great stuff to get.

    I haven't really found anything in awhile, I'm hoping it'll get better in my area(or I'll have to wait for the meet to get anything).
    Here it's just a big area with a bunch of stands filled with crap. I've never heard of any flea markets here in arizona, just swap meets.

    This came in the mail today from gamefly.com for 14.99 + tax. Appears to be in perfect condition, with manual. Does the yellow spine on this game piss anyone else off?



    You may notice the tabletop it is sitting on. More pics of that 'find' can be found in this thread over in Arcade Alley!

    My finds from the weekend (the flyers were bought off of Carl from DP). Most of the games were picked up from a Hastings (they had a good deal on the used copy of Yakuza for $10 and Xevious, Future Tactics, and Pure Pinball were 3/$10) but the PSP games and the SSBB guide were each $10 from a ghetto Best Buy (I never stop at it but stopped off on impulse today on my way back to town):
