At the gas station i had pulled out my NES controller wallet to pay for gas and the lady behind me said "you play nintendo? ". I told her that I did and she proceeded to tell me she had a couple boxes of games. Asked if she wanted t I sell which she responded yes. Followed her about 10 minutes to her house and waited for her to bring out the games. Comes out with two big boxes and sets them down so I could go through. On top is Uninvited NES and Faria NES as well as a Top Loader. I had already seen enough to know I wanted it and that it had never been picked through. Asked how much would she take and she came back with $20. I ended up giving her $40. Loaded the boxes up and was on my way. Ended up being 43 NES, 22 SNES. 1 original nes. 1 top loader without dogbone and a SNES system. These are the k8nd of finds that keep me hungry. Here are some of the NES games pictured.

    Thats the kind of thing I hope to run into. I wear a Nintendo ball cap and t-shirts all the time. Nice snag for sure.

    Goddamn I need to get rid of my wallet and get a controller one if this kind of luck happens. I've got a shirt I won on here that has an old NES cart saying blow me! on it and it has got some comments and laughs, a few leads but nothing of buying worth. That woman or her kids had some good taste in games if those gems were in it.

    Be sure to rewind them before playing,lol; you don't want to start Faria in the middle. Great find!

    Yea definitely keeping the wallet. Ended up finding SCAT in the original NES deck. I didnt get to ask her about the video rental stickers as I was already gone. Could have been that they didnt take their games back or could be more. Around 10-15 games have rentalstickers .

    Rental stores never cleaned up stuff I'd see when they would sell them off. They're not going to pay employees to pick off those insidious stickers so they just throw them on a rack with a sticker and let it fly. She probably got most that stuff in the early-mid SNES era for a few bucks a piece at some shop clearing old useless rentals out.

    Why stop at a wallet? From this day forth each day wear a costume of a well known video game character.



    If a wallet could get you hundreds of dollars worth of games a costume should get you thousands!
