September 4th: Went to a local game store and found the following:





Budokai 2 for the GCN is CIB and was $10
Solarstriker was $4
Pokemon Guide was $3
Mario Advance is Box/Manual/Poster/Inserts only and was $4
The three Manuals were $0.50 each

I will probably end up selling/trading the Pokemon guide, Metroid manual, and Mario box.  Nothing too crazy, but good finds nonetheless.  

Hey only $4 for a GBA box? Even if the game isn't in there that's a nice deal and it looks to be in good condition. Hard to find stuff like that. How much are you planning on selling it for? I might be interested.

September 12th: Went to a local game store and got the bongo big box, donkey konga 1, and donkey konga 2 for $5 each. The bongo big box had DK Jungle Beat included for free! Great find.

September 18th: stopped at a pawn store and got all of these for $4 each. Both Mario 2s and Mario 3 are EXTREMELY corroded, I will have to try some methods to salvage them. All of these games will be up for trade/sale.

October 4th: My Birthday! Got all of these from a newer local game store. Game gear games were both $2, Neo Geo Pocket Color was $30, Mutant League Football is an empty box and was $3, Pokemon Colosseum is complete and was $25. Happy Birthday to me!

October 13th: Found these on eBay in a lot together for $60. Seller had no feedback but it was worth the risk. Arrived on the 13th and I couldn't be happier. These are both first print runs and both in great shape! Not bad at all!

Those two GameBoy titles look amazing! Congrats!

October 19th: Hit up a local game store and got these guides for $2 each. The Super Mario Advance and one of the Oracle guides contain large posters. The Zelda 4 Swords guide has a Wind Waker poster. The NP Oracle guide doesn't have a poster. Pretty cool to find for so cheap.

November 14th: Went to a retro game store after a work conference. Picked up this CIB bad boy for $20!

December 5th: Stopped in Value World and got these fit 80 cents each. Its been a very long time since I've paid less than a dollar for any CIB NES game. Bomberman has eluded me for a long time so I'm glad to finally scratch this one off of my list.

December 8th: Decided to go to a pawn store that I used to frequent. Grabbed all of these for $5 each!





Stopped back in Value World. Got this PS2 with everything for $10. Each game was $1. When I got home and opened it up it had Digimon Rumble Arena inside!!!







Does anyone know if this chord will burn out this console? Or will I need the actual power adaptor???

December 9th: I Got a game for half the price that i thought i would have to pay for it...Kid Dracula! Swung by a local game store that sometimes under-prices games and picked up this gem for cheap (considering the game and the minty label!). I'm stoked to have this one in my collection! Also, got a headphone jack adaptor for my GBA SP! Happy happy joy joy

Holy HELL at that Bomberman for 0.80...

At first i was like "29 bucks for Kid Dracula?!?" and then i looked on VGPC and was like "$50 for Kid Dracula?!?!"
(I got mine for a tenth of what you paid but this was at GW and back when it was a $30 game)

December 20th: I took a lot of duplicate, loose disc, and ugly games to a local game store. I expected about 80 in trade and ended up with 120! I used up all of my trade and spent $30 out of pocket for these (mana is complete with poster). I already have Secret of Mana loose and in nicer condition so I will be selling/trading this loose one.

December 21st: I swung by Value World to see if they had more NES stuff (since I grabbed Bomberman). I found this all bundled together for $12. I will most likely keep the NES controllers and sell/trade the Genesis. It all works fine

December 22nd: Went to lunch around where I work and there was a Value World that I hadn't been to before. I found all these for cheap. N64 console had the jumper pack and was $3.93. N64 controller has a stiff joystick and had a memory card and was 80 cents. Gamecube controller works great and was $1.81. Great find!





Also grabbed this PS2 with cords for $4.84. I was bummed that no controller came with it. When I got home, I opened it up and there was a Playboy Hottest Housewives DVD inside. I laughed out loud when I saw this. Now I'm glad there wasn't a controller included because the buttons would've been all sticky. The DVD is going in the trash but I will sell/trade the ps2 once I find a Controller.

December 27th: Went to The Exchange while I was in my home town for the holidays. Got this CB for $20! I already have a loose cart so I will sell/trade the duplicate. If you have a spare manual, send a PM. Great find!

January 2nd: Won a contest on NA set up by user stinkerhubbin. He wanted the best Nintendo memories and randomly chose a winner. Package arrived today and it was full of goodies and made me laugh. Other than the Jonas Brothers, I'm probably going to keep all of the games and Mario kart toy.

January 2nd: Had a half day at work so I hit up a few hunting hot spots. Got the 2 GBA games from a pawn shop for $4 each. Gamestop GCN controller was $2 at Value World. Went to a resale shop and got 5 screw Rad Racer and CIB Duck Hunt for $15 total. The Duck Hunt has a fami-converter inside and the hang tab is unpunched. I think it's safe to say that this was a first print run. Not too shabby!!!





The box had this Nintendo sticker that sealed it once upon a time.These aren't really valuable but don't pop up often do I thought I'd share:

That's cool!

January 6th: After stopping in Gamestop and ordering my LoZMM Collectors Ed., I swung by a local game store on my way home. They will some times put out empty game boxes for $2.99 each. I always look there as some times I will find some gems. Today didn't disappoint. The Castlevania manual is curled up on the end but both are in great shape and the hang tabs are still intact. I don't have either game but when I do find them I will be ecstatic. Not to shabby!

Awesome! that;s a great find for $6

January 9th: Due to the gridlock from the horrible and tragic traffic pile ups yesterday, I went to a game store close to my work to kill time before heading home last night. I found Toobin for $9. When I went to check out I saw a wierd colored cart behind the counter. I asked the guy working there what it was and how much. He told me it was an unlicensed cart and they had no idea how to price it. Since I come in all the time, he said I could have it for free! Not too bad at all! Anyone have an idea on the 42-in-1 multicart value? I'm sure it's not worth much but still cool to get!




The multicart works, some times as list of 21 games appears when it starts and other times a list of the other 21 games pops up. Here is the list of games on here, some are spelled wrong:

^Those are all awesome snags! I don't think I've ever seen a clamshell Bloodlines; every one I've ever come across has been cardboard sleeved. Congrats!
