I've never been to Video Game & DVD Exchange but have heard of it, what's it like price and variety wise there anyway?
Also did not know B&ME sold dust sleeves, makes me wonder if they have spare SNES ones to get. And by the way I keep not doing it each weekend for the last month but I'm looking to do a garage sale shortly and I do have a few gaming items I'll be placing out, the cheaper end stuff from my sellers list on here at the least if you're interested.

Hah you bought the TMNT TF game! I was eyeing it the other day but I just couldn't pull the trigger due to that wrecked label on it. Glad to see you're less picky as the cart itself seemed to be in really fine shape. Did you know that game actually came initially from Crestwood, was sold ebay back in June to another local, and that dude turned it in to where you bought it? I got curious about the game when I came home and did an old search on ebay and found it there purchased for around $60 and the way you got it the last owner put black white out on the label bottom from corner, then used black marker around the edge to color in some white spots, then inked in the top space over the color emblem too. I found it odd that it went as far as ebay and back yet never left the state.

Well that interesting back story on my Tournament Fighters game. Yea Book and Music does sell dust sleevs however it depens where you go. On Bardstown they only sell em in 10 packs anything less they won't bother selling em. However if you go on preston where I bought most of my dust sleev. I just go to the NES section and take all there dust sleev off there games and go to the counter say will you sell these to me. They don't care and sell em to me 25 cents each. So if your wonder why you can never find any there. Is because I buy em up.
Video Game & DVD Exchange there pretty awesome and I think the price is decent. It a mess but they pretty much hide all there good stuff in the back. Basicly you need ask the owner what your looking for and he get out whatever that might catch your interest. But make sure you look for a guy name Greg he pretty much in charge of everying. Anyone else pretty much wont help you very much. For example I wasn't able to get any of system boxes because I asked the employees will they sell them to me as they are. I got a no. But Greg was there today so I got a yes. He actually nice to drive me home with all the stuff I bought from him and took me back to his store so I can get my scooter. That was really nice of him. He actually very religous but in a good way. He curentlly looking for any relious games to add to his collection.
Edit - thats a killer haul btw. I love the looks of that boxed Saturn.

Nothing excecpt some Sega PC ad. I only have the box nothing else.
The VG&E thing it's on or off preston more south isn't it? The name Greg sounds familiar to a guy who runs a shop around there somewhere but is setup on the weekends indoor at the flea off 65 south of the county a bit. He's pretty nice from when I've talked to that guy if it's the same one. I just looked it up and found it on facebook with the owners pic, that is the guy down at the southern flea market. I had his business card and lost it, wanted to check his place out. Shame his employees are slugs so I'll just have to go in during the week to find him I guess.

Good info and I'm glad you liked my accidental research on the big game there.

Well maybe I'll drag ya down there some weekend. I gave up on game hunting at flea markets though as the wild outdoor stuff is almost always non existent or it's the kind of garbage it would have been better off being just that. I find going around looking for a hot vintage antique toy more fun as you got a good chance at scraping up something at a nice price. His indoor shop is the better of the two there, and then the Toy Crazy guy has his spot too but the last 3-4x I've been there it has been closed so I have no idea if the old guy is sick or died.
No old guy is still alive and well. I talk to him today about my last visited about how one of his employees put scotch tape on the Odyssey 2 box right before I bought it. He thought it was strange that he did that. He told me next time I buy a box system from him and he not there. Tell him not to put tape on it or even be rud and yell at him not to put tape on it.
