Paid $55 for everything

All the Zelda games are complete and in mint condition 
The sealed DKCR was an added bonus

Not a bad day at the swap meet

Man, that is one hell of a good price. Do swap meets only exist in California? Are they any different than what us Eastern folk call flea markets?

From what I can see in videos from people down south and southwest they're way different. Here in WI there's no good flea markets that I know of. There's only a couple that even exist and they each have like 1 re-seller that charges more than retail for their shit.

The soutwest does have more flea markets, but in my opinion the midwest has better garage sales and craiglsist finds. Because of all of the swap meets here (in the Phoenix area at least) resellers have nothing better to do than drive around at the ass crack of dawn to clean out any garage sales while others sit at home refreshing craigslist and can leave at a moment's notice. So I'd say it evens out

Very nice finds! I've been wanting to get to a CA swap meet for a while now, but haven't been able to fit it in when ever I'm in the state

If anyone is LOOKING for certain repro/homebrews, I have a running repro company thread going as well as a lot of extras myself which include Limited Editions as well.  I'm also free to help answer questions and point people in the right direction so never hesitate to ask!  Here is the current list of repro companies.  Please let me know if I need to update it:

Nice finds.. Im from CA myself, but hate the local swap meets. Can usually find nothing but resellers asking ebay price + extra for everything.

That's how most of the CA swapmeet/flea markets are but sometimes you do get lucky. They used to be consistent up until about 3 years ago and it went downhill fast into a walk up ebay shop.

I'm truly amazed you got all that at a flea market let alone for that price, good stuff.
