Haven't had much long with finding things in the wild over the last couple of months....until today...

I picked up 2 lots from Craigslist and scored some really nice items.

The first was a Game Boy lot. Love that Pokemon system! Paid $55 for it all.

The second was a NES lot. Found my 2nd copy of Contra Force in the wild. Paid $25 for it all! WOW!

I had the box for that Gameboy. Traded it and boxes for other Pokemon boxes/manuals for a MegaMan 7 cart. One of those 'both sides are happy' deals. There is always that part of you wishing you still had what you traded, but then you see what you got from it and it's all good.

With that said, the one thing I cannot find is that damn system and Yellow cart. My parents have an unfinished basement filled with decorations, and basically me and my 2 bros childhood. Won't be surprised if my Gameboy is unearthed and unloaded by way of dumpster (dad) or by garage sale (mom) . Either way, I doubt I'll see it again

I collect SNES, and have extras I need to rid myself of. If you have needs, worst thing you can do is ask if I have it, or view my FS thread!

Sweet pickup.
I have one of the gameboys. I found it at a yard sale a couple summers ago for $3. This I know because I has 3.00 written of the front in sharpie.
