Unexpected place to find a rare game

After my girlfriend and I started dating we were talking about Nintendo games, and she brought a few over to my apartment to play. I didn't think anything about the games that she brought over, but they were in nice shape and most of them were CIB. After hanging around here for a while and starting to collect games I took a second look at what she had.

Most of the other games that she has are common, but this one is just too cool! She was also surprised when she saw one go on Ebay for over $120. Have you found a rare game somewhere where you just didn't expect to see it?

    Haha, that's pretty cool. Another member here, Sam McGee, had a similar story where he acquired a Zelda Test Cart from his girlfriend, though some members were skeptical. Either way, awesome grab indeed!

    Sweet find! Duck Tales 2 is an awesome platformer to play as well. Nice job! image

    I'm moving this to finders keepers as well as it fits better there.

    I've had friends snipe me out of games. Got Contra Force the one time I let him tag along with me to Funcoland. Bastard.
    (If I remember right it only cost $10, too!)


    My ex DID buy me Ufouria for a Christmas present a couple years ago, though.

    my gf had a CIB metal marines when we started dating. She just got her SNES box out and was telling me how she was the shiznit at DK country and mario allstars. Then, after moving some cords and games, she was like "I remember this game...it sucked!" I look over to realize what it was, then she tossed it in the box like it was friday the 13th on the NES. I was like zOMG!!!! hahaha
