So I hung the flyers for the show and did a thrift store route. A little disappointing as I do not only buy games to re-sell/collect but all the other items I buy were not in good supply. I did manage to score some deals though. I managed to pick up a SNES game on our first stop, Mario World 2 Yoshi's Island, however, when I opened it up I see inside is a copy of Super Mario Kart with the super mario kart manual. Not a bad deal.
The rest of the items without the exception of the Nintendo Monopoly and Super mario bros 64 I picked up at thrift stores. The thrift store buys totaled €2.25. My online purchases ran me €49.75 including shipping. For what it is worth, I find that is a steal.
I had purchased a coupple more PC games which I did not include like Medal of Honor Allied assault War Chest edition, that's 3 games for 75 cents, Age of empires gold edition for 1.25 and a sealed monopoly tycoon for 1 euro. The monopoly Nintendo Collectors edition is sealed.
Managed to go stop by 2 different thrift stores I have no visited in a while. Do not think I did bad, did purchase some non-video game related items that are not put in here.
Was amazing, everything was just thrown around in this place I was digging everywhere through random old pc electronics and about gave up. Getting ready to find my girlfriend and head to the door when I stop for a second to look at my phone then as I am looking back up I spot on the ground hidden behind a box was the n64, I was like score. Snap checked for an expansion pack and games. Found nothing then noticed it was complete so I was proud. As I am now happy I get back to digging then finally I head to a different section like little kids board games and I look up. At the very top of a shelf I spot a retro box/game I never heard of so I was interested. I finally manage to find something to stand on top of to reach the damn thing. I get it down to check if it is complete and I can not find the controllers, well, little did I know that the pong game on the back next to the battery compartment had a slot for the controllers as well. I was happy after I figured that out. Overall I am happy but the non gaming items today sucked minus one music related thing my girlfriend found. Yet to find any information on that but we got it from the same store and could not have paid more than
I forgot to add what happened at one of the thrift stores. It turned out to be your typical overpriced store. I buy books for reselling/reading sometimes and this place was selling books for their exact worth. Well I found 1 nes game in a locked case, I was like what the hell, I see it is Super Mario 2 and wow at the pricing. They had 2 prices one what it was worth and what they were asking. They claim it was worth
I went out again today to a local shop, manage to find some good stuff non video game related but video game related was relatively dry as standard. I did score some CDi games along with 1 nintendo DS game. Paid around
