Had a short day at the flea market thanks to the rain, but still managed to get a couple of things.
About pissed myself when I saw the grey Bassmasters 2000, pretty happy to have cool spot again too.
Overall only cost me $23.

For 'an idiot' you do pretty well for yourself, that's for sure. I like that multicart you got. Pirates started going nuts on those when the flash media got so cheap for the GBA a few years back. They'd steal a copy of pocketnes, hack it a bit, then throw one or two roms on a system then make a big rom with NES stuff thrown on board and instant multicart of fun.

I don't get it. Every single goodwill and salvation army I have gone to have never had games. I check them all and thrift stores and nothing. I only have luck at flea markets. Even my yard sales I go to stink. Very nice finds but I hope some day I will find one at a thrift store or goodwill or salvation army. Keep up the "for an idiot" searches!

Same here. I've barely seen any games there. I did see a cartridge game for the first time yesterday at a Goodwill. It was a boxed Genesis sports game though.

Everything here except the super nintendo stuff is from a thrift store, got it all in one go after finding nothing there for a while, ran me around $17 thanks to a 25% off day.
Killer instinct came from a local retro shop for $10, megaman manuals are from NA user franksisko, and the goof troop and no escape boxes came from Pat1717.

Just a couple more things and I'll have the megaman SNES game all CIB.

Got a nice bunch of NES games for $9 at the thrift store today, noticed the hogan's alley felt way to heavy, opened it up and it had a converter in it.
These are all in shockingly good condition, especially from a thrift store.

Top loader with a dogbone and a hand full of games for $8.99 at my local thrift store.
A bit dirty, but it works perfectly.
Really exited to have one of these, best thing I've ever found at that thrift store.

Traded around 20 N64 commons for a Virtual boy with 3 games.
Don't know why, but I've always wanted to get a Virtual boy, probably boils down to me liking the more strange things as far as games go, and what's more strange then a Nintendo product that flopped?

I was kind of surprised with it, Teleroboxer is really fun.

Haha, man... I left that at a thrift store when it was $2 once. Ah well, at least it's not expensive.
