Hey hey

Ever found yourself mystery Cart in hand at a Flea Market or what have you, and dared purchese it?
What did you pay & more importantly what did you get?
Personally I have never found a mystery Cart before, but when I do, I Will buy it, at least once just to get that unkowing uncertain rush!

Cheers!

I think it was only around 25 cents, the goodwill outlets just dump things in bins and price by weight, so games are always crazy cheap there.

I'm lucky if I get a cart only SMB/DH for under $20 at flea markets where I live.
So sometimes you have to take risks.

I sort of bought one once. I bought what I though was the Tengen game Alien Syndome on the NES, but the game actually turned out to be Tengen Tetris! It had the wrong lable on it. It was quite the surprise!

I picked up a kroger sack of 4 white torn label nes carts last month for .50 and a garage sale. They all turned out to be smb3....

My guess is a dog or small child living in that house was a compulsive label ripper, and they just kept on replacing the cart.

I was going through my game gear carts recently to offer to Paul, and I had one with no label. I have no idea how long I've had it, or what I paid for it.

It turned out to be Beavis & Butthead.

No way i'd ever pay more than $5 for a mystery game, only system i would even consider buying one for would be snes. with no label or anything i wouldn't keep it for my collection and the value probably wouldn't be much even if it was Chrono Trigger or something. i did somehow end up with one though that i didn't know i had, it was wwf royal rumble for snes.
