Well I decided since I find so much stuff at the flea market all the time i'm going to make an ongoing flea market finds thread.  Had an awesome time this past weekend, got to drive to Orlando and meet up with a fellow NA member Ed (xxTheEnslavedxx). We drank some brews and played some NES games, and went to the flea market the following morning.  Walked away with some awesome stuff, I got a boxed sports edition Dreamcast for $40, an Oracle of Ages/Seasons Guide for $10, CIB Volleyball for $7, Dusty Diamond cart for $5, Nobanagas Ambition for $5, Mega Man 5, and Goal Two! for $3, and Mickey Safari fr $3.50.  Ed also hooked me up with a 720 degree box and box/manual for Sky Shark.  Ed got some awesome deals as well, can't remember everything, but Sword Master for $4.  Came back last night and decided to hit the local flea market this morning as well, got a NES system with 21 games, and a bunch of Manuals for $40, including DK Jr. MAth, Metroid, Bionic Commando, Gyromite, and Solomons key (highlights), and Play N Trade picked up some games for free, Yoshi's Safari for SNES, Sky SHark for NES, Romance of Three Kingdoms, and Guerilla War, and 2 complete TG-16 Games, Bonk and Blood Wolf.  A Great haul for a great weekend, thanks again Ed for letting me come and visit!

    My flea market sucks. I'll find some loose carts here and there but I mainly see movies and x box games. I've yet to see boxes or manuals for anything but sega genesis out here and I've never come across any turbo grafx stuff in the wild whatsoever.

    Nice trip to Orlando. Man I wish I still lived there, loved going to the flea markets when I was a kid. I used to live in Apopka. Way to go on the finds.

    Saw an add for a bunch of Atari 5200 games on Craigslist, so a couple days passed and the guy dropped it down to $20 for the lot of 24 games.  I did some research on the games because I diddnt know much about 5200 games, and turns out one of the games in the lot was the rarest Atari 5200 game (other than prototypes).  Can you spot it? image  Also on my way back from the guys house I stopped by a new game store, picked up boxed Kolibri and Knuckles Chaotix for the 32X for $10 each.  Quite the great day!  (If you can't guess the rare 5200 game click the link under the 2 pictures.)

    Kolibri-- the best hummingbird-based shooter for the 32x.
