BB2, Mega Man 3 4 6 & Conker's at one house
I don't normally post stuff I come across but Bubble Bobble 2 is one cart I've been wanting for quite some time and the price couldn't be beat. I basically went on a collecting hiatus when prices skyrocketed, so I only get games for myself when they are a no-brainer deal in the wild.
This was the third or so house I went to at a town wide yard sale last weekend. I was actually at the neighbor's house and probably wouldn't have stopped except when I asked for video games the woman said my neighbor should have some cos he had a son your age. Went over and they weren't even setup yet, so I asked if they had any video game stuff. The man said that yes, they still might have some "Nintendos" if they didn't give them to the grandkids. He and his wife went inside and came out a few minutes later with one shoe box and then the other after a few minutes. The first one was this...
I honestly didn't even notice BB2 at first because I was focusing on the Mega Man's. I asked him what he wanted, which was a dollar each or how about $20 for the box. Couldn't say no to that. Then his wife brought out the second box and he said to make it $40 for everything. Conker's was on the bottom face down so I didn't even see that until today when going through everything. I had just said yes, after seeing Mario Party and Goldeneye because there's waaaay too many resellers and such in the area to stay at one house for too long without someone breathing down my neck. Here's the second box..
All in all a great day! Also, nabbed a CIB Action set and another shoe box of games around the corner for $25 that morning and a bunch of other newer stuff (Last of Us, Bioshock Infinite, survival horror ps1 stuff, ps2, etc.). Did see someone make off with a GBA SP for a dollar at another house. Except for some of the MM's which may be upgrades, everything but BB2 is up for grabs.

it's been so long for me since I have had an awesome score like this. That feeling when you are on the prowl and you locate a heap of grey squares in your field of vision is amazing. It's only better when they are so ridiculously cheap.
Don't mind me living vicariously through your post....
Great buy even with BB2 not in the picture or Conker(which was unknown) there's some serious selection and fun in those boxes.
By the way when you can check out that gameshark 64. Those things are notorious for failing and just showing a black screen with a game in the top of it. They can't be fixed, but if it works, and it's the final release (3.3 I think) it's fairly desirable. I got one at a flea about 2 years back, darn thing was broken which sucked, was going to use it to have unlimited ribbons in RE2 so I could finish it.
As much as BB2 oddly gets dumped on by some people it's truly a great game and worth the wait so have fun with it.
Please tell me you are in south jersey. It'll make me feel a lot better about your find!
Hey, thanks everyone. It has truly been a long time since I've gotten this excited over games. It was nice to round out the summer.. Well, hunting season like this.
Nesman, I live in Toms River. Last weekend there were at least 5 town wides in central jersey. Highland Park, Brielle, Freehold to name a few. This was in Freehold.
