A thread to keep record of all my finds since starting to collect and joining the NA community!  Cheers
-------------------------------------------------------
May 21st
When I woke up this morning I had this weird feeling to go back to where I got all the DS games from the previous day.  The area was finishing up on their semi annual yard sales and luckily this house was one that was still open.  I pulled in and found the lady who sold me all the games.  She told me last night she looked through her boxes in the attic and found a lot of the cases for the games I picked up a day earlier.  She had hoped that I came back.  Here is what she gave me.  These were all free of charge and she threw in some extra games and other manuals.  Pretty stoked, glad I decided to go back.  Only a few didnt have their manuals with the case. 

Not pictured:
Pokemon X 3DS CIB
FF Theatrythm 3DS CIB
Animal Crossing New Leaf 3DS CIB


Animal crossing is case only.  Valkyria Chronicles is sealed

FFIII and Valkryie Profile are missing manuals

Crisis Core is missing manual


Harvest Moon and Xenosage have no manual

Not pictured:

My first garage sale of the year netted me my first Genesis 2 and 32x(hopefully it works).  Now I just need the power/av cords for them.

I'm jealous. The yard sales and fleamarkets around here are pretty picked over, I think everyone just ebays around here or they go and charge ebay prices. That's not a bad looking ps2, just got one off my uncle he found in a box while recycling electronics. Did you get the cables with the systems? They always seem to be the items you can't get included.

No there weren't any cables.  Luckily, I have a PS2 so I can plug it in but the Genesis ill have to ebay. I figured I can at least sell the PS2 to a thrift store and get a little more than what i paid.

The worst part about ordering parts for these things is getting the OEM power plugs. I don't worry too much about av cords but I'm not keen on aftermarket power cords after i saw what one did to my friend's laptop. i actually buy extras of the plugs whenever i can. Now you have me wanting to go out to the flea markets scavenging lol.

Yea she didn't have any. The discs were in a big CD case and all the DS in a carry case.
