I saw a bunch of NES and Atari 2600 commons at an estate sale resale shop in a mall at various prices. I didn't want them. I also recently had a dream of seeing a few common NES and SNES games at ridiculous prices ($10 each) in a local Goodwill.

Really, some of my interest's gone to my 1950s Hoover 62 Vacuum. Maybe I'll find brushes for it which are obsolete and difficult to find but don't command much money on eBay. I missed 3 pairs of them recently.

Found 4 GBA games for $1 at a small thrift store. 3 out of 4 don't have labels and one, missing its label, had permanent marker on the front:

Mario VS. Donkey Kong (Initials in marker on back; "A.R.B.")
Megaman Battle Network 3 (White) - (Initials in marker on back; "A.R.B," had marker on label area; )
Yu-Gi-Oh Dungeon Dice Monsters (Has label.)
Yu-Gi-Oh Worldwide Edition Stairway to the Destined Duel

There was an Xbox without cables or controllers I passed on (having one already.)

I also found other items in the same store; 12 VHS tapes of MST3k, a few pencil sharpeners (one shaped like an early 20th century train) and RCA cables.

I had kicked myself for trading in my Vita for a New 3DS. While I enjoy my 3DS as this version fits my hands better, I liked the ability to cross buy games for PS3 and Vita. Add to that I found I liked playing Minecraft alone as little builders seem to think they know what I'm building. I turn my virtual back and then suddenly a giant tower appears like it's the Black Fortress, adorned with torches on each side lighting the night.

One day I was puttering on eBay and someone was selling the OLED model, like I had, with Hot Shots Golf, 4 GB of storage case, power supply but with a bad battery for $69. I won it at that price. Other than the battery, the system runs great. I've got a replacement battery on order.
