One of my best deals ever. Finally got lucky and jumped right on a Facebook post for 18 N64 games. Met asap. Some awesome titles in there too!

Yep, lol. The crazy part was that I live in Michigan and most of the games were from a Blockbuster with a Quebec area code based on stickers on the back of the games.

Holy crap, great score! That Banjo-Tooie pretty much covers that entire lot! Well done.

Thanks! I've been in a rut lately and finds have been few and far between. I got lucky and caught it 9 minutes after it was posted. I'll definitely be keeping the Tooie, Starcraft, and Gauntlet.

Scored my best yard/garage sale find ever! 

Found a PS1 lot with 5 games for $10. Asked if they had anymore older games and the seller said yes, follow me. Now, I almost didn't ask since the seller was fully tatted (face, scalp, and neck) but I've learned not to judge a book by its cover. We go in the basement and there is a cabinet full of games and 3 or 4 each of NES and SNES consoles. A lot of the games were CIB too! I said how much for everything? He said make an offer. I said I have $70 in my wallet. He sai he couldn't do it all for $70. I asked for just the games and he said, get this: $40!!! I was like hell yes! I'll take them. My wife was with me and she was all big eyed. I gave him $60 just so I could sleep tonight, lol. We grabbed up the three big bags and I got the hell out of there before he changed his mind! Still can't believe it!

I just put the video up on YouTube. My channel is 16 Bit Bricks. I know I did well cause it received a dislike already

Yeah the pick ups videos aren't very popular around here, hence the dislikes. Thats a pretty ridiculous find though for $60.

My wife and I split up to cover 2 community sales Saturday. I found 3 Wii lots and a Genesis console. She kicked my butt though. She found a 2600 lot that was crazy clean and then she found this lot. A SNES and a N64 both with some great games. She had to ask since it wasn't out. I told her to offer $40 but she offered $20 and they took it. Took a lot of scrubbing but they all cleaned up nicely andd everything worked!

This is what dreams are made of... Mostly that TMNT IV: Turtles In Time if I'm not mistaken. Killer SMB ALL Stars/SMW combo, too. She's nailed it. $20? Shit...  Couldn't have done it much better.

Yeah that's a keeper for sure   I believe that power rangers game is uncommon too. But Turtles in Time alone for 20 would still be a hell of a deal. Also I'd like to point out the Spiderman and Xmen game, one of my childhood games right there   controls really well actually, just tough as balls

I haven't been on here in a while so I thought I'd post some recent pickups. Finally scored an Earthbound. The strangest part was that it was at the house I grew up in! Also included was a Smash Bros 64 which I didn't have yet either. In total the lot dad a NES, SNES, a Genesis, and an Atari. Paid $100. 6 snes games, a few N64 games, and a bunch of Atari games. Damn is Earthbound fun. Strange and goofy, but fun.
 The other lot was from two weeks ago from a Facebook deal. I didn't even know that S.C.A.T. or Contra Force was in the lot until I went through the games! In total there were 2 NES consoles, a SNES, an Intillivision 2, a Genesis, a some Pong game. It had more quality games than I've ever found in 1 lot! Paid $250.

Congrats on Earthbound! It's my fave game of all time; I still have my copy from when I was a kid.

Looking around on Facebook this morning and saw a garage sale listing with a boxed Genesis 3 system in a pic in the comments and not in the description. It was posted yesterday morning so I assumed it was gone. I messaged the seller this morning and they still had it. $25 tota! I think Genesis finds are much more uncommon even than NES finds now days.
