Trip to Astoria
Went to the beach this weekend with my wife. Spent most of Sat. checking out thrift and antique stores, found Crystalis w/ Manual, Seicross, Mega Man 4, Super Team Games and Gold Medal Challenge 92 CIB at a parn shop in Lincoln City for $32. Not great, but not bad. This morning we drove up to Astoria and checked out a store that a woman running an antique store had suggested. Mallternative. They had a couple of shelves of NES games and I started going through them. Quickly saw Dragon Warrior 2, Nobunaga's Ambition 2, Princess Tomato, Pirates and Gun Nac. A few of them had prices from 10-20 and a few didn't have any price. Also, a smb/dh and $12! on it, weird. Anyhow, I ask the guy what the games without price tags go for and he said, "1-2 bucks mostly, the stickers on those are pretty old. The only games worth much more then that are zelda and mario." Sooooo, I do some quick counting and tell him I'll give him $100 for all of them. He asks another guy in the shop, and they talk for a minute and decide they need the money and they'll do it. Ended up getting 105 games for $100! Hell ya! Only needed 18 for my collection, but a lot of good trade bait in there as well. Added it all up and the price guide says they are worth $527, hot damn!

Good deal!
Did you party with Chunk or Mikey?
Nice find, can't believe there was not a Goonies II in that lot...

LOL Thats exactly what I thought when I saw the title!
They are probably saving the Goonies games for the 25th anniversary event in June!
Which I booked my flight for 2 nights ago. Pumped!

Thats's because Goonies II was filmed on the NES, not in Astoria
man, I never realized how cool goonies was to everyone. Anyone I meet from the central u.s. gets all excited when I tell them i live at the beach in Oregon and they ask "Have you seen goonie rock!"...lol... The things we take for granted I guess
