Title: I'll never be able to top this find
Post by: Sauza12 on September 10, 2006, 11:06:08 AM
My greatest find ever today.  I'll start it off light.  Over the weekend I got

Max Payne 2 (PS2)
Max payne 2 (Xbox
for $2 a piece both brand new

Dig Dug:  Digging Strike (DS)
Wild Arms 4 (PS2)
$25 for these, also both brand new.

And I got these at a flea market today for $1 a peice.  I think they are complete, but I can't read japanese.  They are Mega Man (or Rockman if you want to be proper) model kits.

However, if you think those are why this was the greatest find ever, you are sorely mistaken.  This is what makes it my greatest find ever. 

I got this for the princley sum of $5

There is a flea market that comes through here twice a year and I got it from there.  The thing that makes this even sweeter is I got it from this vendor that is there every time and charges outrageous prices for all of his stuff.  I'm talking $150 for a loose Intellivision with 5 common games.  The Power Lords was actually in a box with about 20 other O2 games and a system (including all three big box games) for $150.  In retrospect, I should have bought the whole box, but I left my checkbook at home.  I'll get it in 6 months when the next one rolls around.

I guess now I'll finish up my O2 collection.  Nothing over $30 left!

Do you have CIB Atlantis and Demon Attack? They can go for over 30. Turtles and Killer Bees might be in teh 20. Then again I was looking for all those ahile ago.

Yeah, this is one game that tends to fluctuate in price rather frequently.  I'm going to try to get the stickers off of mine, but I'll leave them on there if it looks like it is damaging the box.

And no, I don't have any of those games.  I can probably get all of them for under $30 if I wait on them though.  I have a feeling that I might just bite the bullet and spend full price on them when I get my tax return though.  :)

dude if you tell me you got that at the Green Mead flea market I'll cry. I was planning to go but went to Greenfield  Village instead.
