Not going to pull the camera for it, but I went to a chain store (national) today and for $8 got Bomberman 64 2 Second Attack, and to a lesser degree of still nice stuff $1 for Trojan, $5 for Life Force, and 50cents each GBA games Tony Hawk PS2, Rebelstar Tactical Command and NHL2002.
picked up a box of 25 NES games today for 2 bucks a game. nothing rare but 23 out of 25 I didn't have. that is pretty damn cheap as far as I'm concerned for NES games.
to the above, good find on Megaman 64. I absolutely LOVE Mega man legends 1/2 and the Tron Bonne game. Only PS1 games I still own and I'll never get rid of them.
So...I went out to a stoop sale a couple of blocks away and got a nice minty copy of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed for Xbox 360 for a fiver. That's not a huge deal, except that it undercuts recent eBay sales by about 4 cents, and I've been wanting to get the game again. I also got a loose U.S. copy of Vertical Force for Virtual Boy for $16, and a like-new GTA trilogy for PS2 for $12...also great as I've never played San Andreas. All good, minor deals. There was the little matter of getting a CIB copy of an SNES game I've been after today for about $40, but pics when it comes.

My beautiful female friend said she had a few games that were in a pantry essentially collecting dust and asked me if I wanted them. I said "Sure, why not?" and even offered to pay for the game or at least shipping. She wouldn't be having either and sent me the games. They came in today and here they are:
Popped into a little pawn shop type place yesterday because they had posted a picture of Mario RPG on Craigslist. I figured there was no way I'd be getting it because if it wasn't already gone that'd mean it was overpriced. Walked in and it was there with no visible price sticker on it, so I called the employee over and asked to look at it. "It's gonna be expensive..." he says, and I think ohhh no. He flips it over and it's marked for $45. I tell him "Nah, that's not a bad price. I don't have that much on me now but that's not bad." and he says I'm the first person to say that at which point I inform him about resellers trying to lie their way to an undervalued price.
I get ready to leave but decide to glance over his other games and I see a copy of Chocobo's Dungeon 2 for PS1. I figure it'll be ebay priced as well but lo and behold he only had it marked for $10 so I snatched that up. I already have it so I really only got it for trade bait. Don't wanna bother with pics at the moment but it's basically minty. If anyone wants to trade a similar value PS1 game lemme know!
I picked up a Nintendo Zbag like this for $3.50 at Goodwill.
Only the Zbag print is on the right side panel(on the lower left corner) and the ones I have seen have red inserts and mine has black. I would take a pic but the wife took the camera to India with her.
Haha, I was sitting there like "Yikes man, that Nintendo logo actually looks pretty crummy for a paid product..." then I saw the shot with the LED. That is cool as hell.
Decided to take a long bike journey a few towns over and hit up every thrift store and EB Games I came across. Favorite find is probably Tomb Raider III for it's unique box shape. All are complete.
From Left to Right: Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast (sealed big box)
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (with all inserts)
Tomb Raider III (with all inserts)
Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's Stardust Accelerator World Championship 2009
I went out with some friends today to check out a retro store we haven't been to before. I decided to take some odds-and-ends I picked up at thrift stores/yard sales and flip it into more wanted stuff. I brought with me:
CIB Intellivision Math Fun & Word Fun (boxes not in the best shape)
CIB PS1 Dino Crisis
GBC Tarzan
GB Jurassic Park
Game Gear Sonic 2, Sonic Spinball, Super Columns
Unknown 3rd Party made original Gameboy carrying case
SNES sealed new Jeopordy Deluxe
I paid about $10 in all for the above items over the course of the summer IIRC. Traded the above in and kicked in $10 to pick up:
Editing this post and moving my other one to my own "finds" read.
I did have a couple small finds in the wild recently: got a copy of Star Wars: TFU for 360 for $5, and a Deja Vu 1 + 2 and FFIV Advance loose for $9 each. Not amazing prices, but beats waiting for shipping!
My pickups for today put me at 205 NES games so far. Here is what I got: Captain Skyhawk, Back to the Future, Gauntlet, Golf, Goal!, Legend of Zelda (gold cart), Adventures of Link, Mickey Mousecapade, NFL, Othello, Super Team Games, Tecmo NBA Basketball, Stealth ATF, Win Lose or Draw, and Micro Machines.
Picked up another Sega Game Gear with Super Columns for $8. It doesn't work well either, I am hoping to find one that works one day. These things are starting to pop up a lot around me. Now to take it apart and order a cap kit for it and the other 3.

Rebelstar for 50 cents is a great deal. Nice!
