Epic Flea Market Find
Hey guys,
I usually don't post these types of threads, as I really don't like to come off as "bragging", but what the hell. Today was a pretty special day and I thought a lot of you might get a kick out of it, and hopefully it will inspire some of you to get out there and keep trying because there are still great deals to be had.
Well, baby just woke up, so the backstory will have to wait a couple hours. Its a pretty awesome story so Ill share with you guys as soon as I can get back to the keyboard. In the meantime enjoy the pic. The entire lot was $300. Every game is NM+ and 100% complete. Itchy and Scratchy is still sealed.

So, these folks have TONS of boxed SNES and N64 games. But they dont display them. They are all boxed up in larger cardboard boxes that are hidden behind a bunch of VHS tapes. Every now and then I will ask to pick through their stuff. I usually see the same games Ive seen in past trips, but this time the fellow did some digging real deep and produced a couple boxes I hadnt picked through before, which resulted in the lot you see here. The CIB Ninja Warriors was in the LAST box I looked at and was icing on the cake. I have been looking for that game for 15 years, and complete it couldnt be sweeter. And Sin and Punishment was among the US games! the incredible thing was, its the only N64 Japanese game Ive ever wanted, and the only one they had. Amazing luck, cant wait to play it.
She didnt know anything about Sin and Punishment. I told her that it was a rare game and I wanted to pay her $100 for it. Then, when she was finished eyeballing the lot and said $300, I replied that I wanted her to take $350 and she said no. It just goes to show you that if you are respectful and honest with people, it will come back in the long run. So build relationships with your local vendors people, and dont be shy about digging deep into the dusty boxes in the back!
I will be selling a few of these games, so go ahead and PM me with what you might be interested in and we'll see what we can do!
PS - I bought 2 mischief makers BY MISTAKE... lol... but look, there is a box variation on them! i was shocked to see that, anyone know the story behind the quote on the box? As for other games I will likely have to sell/trade, those would be Itchy and Scratchy (sealed), Power Blade (just the cart... keeping the box and manual), and Biker Mice CIB... maybe the Koei games too...

I've never heard of too many resellers turning down money, lol. From what it sounds like you could of got the lot for much cheaper. I'm happy that you are content with the price you paid though.
