Went to the flea market today. A new vendor there had DS games for a flat rate. $5 each. Picked up complete summon night and Layton. Loose zelda PH and DQ5. Another seller had the tiger handheld for a dollar.
On the way home I stopped by a pawn shop and picked up 11 snes sports donors for a buck a pop.

Haven'tupdated this in a while, but here are the things I found this summer while hitting yard sales.
A buck a piece on these ones.

Gamecube system with 3 controllers, 1 wavebird and these six games. Paid 30 at a yard sale.

These ps1 games 50 cents each. Pokemon yellows and game shark 25 cents each.
The other pokemons came with a gba sp for $20. Gave the system to my daughter.
Wii charger found at a goodwill for $7. Need some batteries Madcatz batteries for this guy.
Also found final fantasy 9 and resident evil 2 for $2 each.

I didn't find a single NES or SNES game all summer. Found a bunch of good records though.

I want that final fantasy VI

Left town for the weekend and I found a few things.

First, I stopped by a Goodwill and found some big box pc games.

Top 2 are sealed.

Then I stopped by a couple other places and found this stuff.
Strategy guides for $5 each.

And it's been a while since I found something like these. 
Pilotwings ($7) and Doom Troopers($3) are as nice as anything I've found in the wild.
Ultima, the black gate ($40) has seen better days ufortunately. But it has the manual and map. And the cart is nice.
I've never seen this game before. Not even loose. Glad to knock it off my want list.

Nice SNES games! Doom Troopers is a want of mine!

That reminds me, I can remove that one from my want to trade for list now. Can't believe the shape it was in for three dollars.

Found a few things around town this weekend.

Rayman, both Final fantasies and Tomb Raider I found at a Salvation Army. It was half price day, so $2 each.
Mario Kart 8 came from Goodwill. It was taggeed at $25. The others I found at a used game store.

Found some things today when I went to visit my parents.

Resident Evil Long box was $2 at a thrift store. No manual. And not in that great of shape.
The PC game Blood was $1 at a thrift store.
Haunting was in the $5 bin at a game store.
Stunt Racer and Combatribes were $9 each.
Small box RE was$24. But it's the harder to find variant so I picked it up. It's in really nice shape.

Hatris and  Castelian were in the $5 bin.
Ghoul School, Kiwi Kraze and Monster in my Pocket were $8 each.
Alfred Chicken $12

$12 each for the SNES games and $14 for Aria of Sorrow.
No manuals in the boxed games unfortunately.

Found these games at a goodwill of all places. Extremely random prices. They had mario 1 for $10 and Wheel of Fortune for $17. TMNT for 13. Passed on all those. I did pay $25 for Princess Tomato. $7 for Mario2 and $5 each for the rest.

I found this thing in an antique/collector's shop

It's an official advertising promo picture NBC 1990. Also stamped with the Portland TV station adress on the back. $10
Pretty cool piece.
I got this rad shirt there too. Big Animaniacs fan. $12.50

Explain that Captain N paper?
It looks cool with Pit on there.

It's a promo glossy from a TV station for advertising. Not sure really how it was used. 

I rescued these things from the bins at the outlet store goodwills. A buck each for records CDs and VHS.
And the pc games. Sim City 2000 is sealed signature edition.  Spiderman is for Commodore 64.



These upside down ones belonged to a radio station at one time.

Pretty stoked about the Beetlejuice soundtrack and the Moonwalker VHS. Robot VS Aztec Mummy might be terrible.

I also picked up all this stuff this weekend. All in all I put 100 miles on my car running around looking for shit.

Gamecube has a Twilight Princess graphic on it. I've never seen these puffy sticker type before, only the vinyl skins.
Clash at Demonhead was 8 bucks. Battletoads/Double Dragon SNES box and manual was $9.99. There was no game in it so I got it cheap. 
How to draw Nintendo heros and villians was 99 cents.
Got the PS3 move bundle off some kid from Craigslist.

Picked up all of this stuff Yesterday. Pretty happy with the score. Fire Shark CB and Puggsy CIB $5 each
Kendo Rage and First Samurai $8 each
Tecmo Super Bowl CB 99 cents at a thrift store. They taped the box closed.
And Raiden Project for $25
So $52 for everything pictured here. Not too shabby.
Kendo Rage has been on my want list for a while. First Samurai, I have had an empty box for for a while. And Raiden has been on my want list for a couple years. So yeah, pretty happy with this pickup.

Picked up these 4 things today for a little over $90 total. Most of that was the DC games. Not something I see everyday.

You'd never know sol divide is a shmup by the cover art right?

Got these by trading. Yes I like to trade. 

Fireshark was my absolute favorite game as a kid, and it's still probably in my top couple. Such a great game

Found these for $34 total. Haven't found aything in the last 6 months.

I just read through this whole thread and I got a feeling of nostalgia. Man, I found some good deals in the 5+ years I've been on NA.
Here are the ond finders keepers threads I started before I started this ongoing one.

The finds these days are few and far between but I keep up the good fight.

 

I was checking Ebay for a specific issue of Nintendo Power and I came across this lot. Decent stuff here from the NES and SNES years. My favorite. I had gotten rid of mine over the years so I decided to get some back. Anyway 51 issues for a little over 100 shipped. Most still have the posters attached, but of course, not the one I was looking for to begin with.
Not sure what these things go for, but a little over 2 bucks each shipped, thats subscription rate.

Left town for the weekend and came home with a few new things.

Shadow Tower PS1 $17
Wild Gunman CB $19
MagMax CB $5
Duck Hunt CIB $5

Found these guys at a game store. Toughman is complete for $3
The NES are CIB and were 20 and 25


War 3010 I bought new because its the same price as a CIB. Haven't opened a SNES game in a couple years.
