Hey there!

So I've been actively collecting again and I decided to finally make a single thread for the random stuff I find.

Check the last post for my most recent finds.

Hope you enjoy looking

Here's what I came home with today

Asked the guy working if they ever sell the display stuff and he emptied it out and just handed it to me!

Willing to trade the Color Dream carts for Mario stuff I'm missing

Mail day arrival and a few other deals. This was from a few days ago

Goldeneye for N64 was $0.99 Probably a sign that I would snag a sealed copy of the new one for a great deal in the not too near future, which I did

Then Picked up Metriod from bestbuy for $5 or whatever it was last week.

Wandered into my local thrift store and they had 21 NES carts there, most with sleeves but most were crappy titles - So I told them they were all only worth about $2 a cart, I kinda know the lady there now because Im in there every day so she did $3.50/cart which was ok seeing as I made my money back on the 1st 2

Found a Donkey Kong version SNES system and a CIB SNES controller at my local thrift store today!

The boxes are in very good condition, the system is really clean and the CIB controller is mint

Thought I was going to be picking up a nice CIB Balloon Fight I found on craigs, but when I got there it was one of those stupid cut-up custom rental boxes...
So into my google maps "Video games" and a few promising results pop up near by.
Stop in to the first one and this is what I found It was about half the ebay rate and got another 20% off their asking price.

Now I think have an extra Cart and Manual if anyone is interested.

It's all about donator location, timing, and having less to no scumbag goodwill picking resellers in the area. You're just very lucky to be close and in a spot with a good amount of retro stuff that just gets dumped. I have 3 goodwills within 10mi of here and maybe once every 3-4mo or more they'll get in a good PS1 title, non sports game, or a small pile of common nes or n64 titles around here. Here just you find trash sports games and $1 budget garbage for the PS1/2 or xbox mostly.

I am so jealous. Man, just once I'd like to find something at a Goodwill. Anything. Give me Duck Hunt just so I have some hope, but no. Nothing. Ever.

Picked up some great stuff this past week - Rounding out my Mario games collection to 90 carts 71 manuals and 55 boxes!

Most of it was from LA, was waiting for a dinner and had 3 hours to burn so I hit up about 5 shops

Mario superstar Baseball came from ebay - $9 shipped

Strikers was from gamestop - $8.50

Zodas Revenge, Batman Returns, and Palamedes were from a game shop - $9 for the 3

Yoshis Safari and Yoshi Cookie were $5 each from a local place.

Not a steal but definatley not a bad price at all!

Next up is Mario Golf advance tour and Dr. Mario from ebay, less than $10 each CIB

And last but not least, a 25 cart buy from ebay - Just took em out of the box so their still really dirty...

Anyone want to buy some ugly carts?

See why I picked up this ugly lot?

Ill be listing dupes on my FS thread.
