Unbelievable Find!
Hello,
I'm somewhat new here and this is my first post. I just hit an AMAZING score this weekend and thought I would share here as I know many of you would appreciate this. Never in my life would I expect to come accross a treasure trove like this.
A friend of mine who knows I'm into vintage games was at his friend's cottage this weekend and noticed he had an entire closet filled with boxed NES games. FILLED. He texted me and sent some pics. I saw Power Blade 2 in one of the pics and right away was interested. Luckily, he wanted to sell them all off. I grabbed some cash and drove up that afternoon. I had a look at his stash and was blown away. Everything was boxed and in awesome shape. There were over 150 games and no doubles.
As I was sorting through, I also saw he had Panic Restaurant. There were TONS of obscure and rare games. Apparently his father bought the entire inventory from a local video store a while back for very cheap.
We bargained for a bit and ended up settling at $500 for the entire lot. I thought that was a great deal, could sell power blade 2 and make it back. I let him keep all the games he wanted too, luckily nothing rare, such as some marios, rbi baseball, etc. He called his mother and she told him to make sure he keeps tetris because she likes playing that game. That's fine, except it was TENGEN TETRIS!! So I lost out on that one. Insane.
I was pretty happy and satisfied and started packing the games up to put in my car. As I was packing, I looked down and to my right and almost passed out. Lying there, on the ground right before me, was the one and only Little Samson, CIB and mint. I opened it up and saw it was all there, manual and inserts. I was completely floored!! I couldn't believe my eyes!!
I never imaged I would score like this. Just incredible. I've attached some pics here but some of the highlights are:
Little Samson
Power Blade 2
Panic Restaurant

I wish. I pieced my SNES collection together over the last year and a half and never hit anything remotely close to this.
