Title: WOOT! Flea Market season has finally started Post by: NES_Rules on March 25, 2007, 11:06:58 AM For the first time in 6 months, the flea market was open. If the luck I got this week continues, this is going to be an awesome summer.
I started off small getting Mappy-Land (NES) for $2, not the best deal, but I wasn't sure if I was going to find anything better. Next I found some PS1 games for $1 each: Heart Of Darkness Intellivision Classic Games both are CIB and great looking discs, but they got syrup or something on the cases. Also got Fisherman's Bass Club (PS2) at the same place for $1. Finally, I noticed a few Genesis, SNES, and PS1 games at another vendor, when she said $1 each, I started picking a couple out. I got t o 10 that I wanted, so I offered $15 for everything, so I got: SNES: Clue with manual NHLPA Hockey 93 NHL 96 Super Play Action Football Super Bases Loaded Cyber Spin The Adventures of Batman and Robin Super R-Type manual Genesis: Jungle Strike The Adventures of Batman and Robin Aaahh!!! Real Monsters Paperboy 2 Mega Bomberman Sonic & Knuckles 6-Pak Mortal Kombat 2 Vectorman Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Box art for Tiny Toons: Buster's Hidden Treasure 2 blank cases PS1: Cool Boarders 3: case, game and back paper RE 3 Nemesis:empty case Bottom of the 9th '97: games, case, no back paper Twisted Metal 2: Manula and disc Rampage World Tour: game and manual, no back paper Spyro Ripto's Rage: game and manual, no back paper Twisted Metal 4: complete Mortal Kombat Trilogy: disc only The X-Files: 4 discs only Not bad, now if the garage sales will start, I'll be really happy.

The week after Easter is when people start have yard sales around here. The Flea Markets around here all have people selling over priced games and they seem to walk around and buy up all the cheap games to resell, so I haven't done that well at Flea Markets around here.

Title: Re: WOOT! Flea Market season has finally started Post by: NES_Rules on March 30, 2007, 02:58:23 PM I skipped my last class today ::) and went another flea market that I don't usually go to because the vendors usually go around and buy up any cheap games, but somehow I got lucky today. I saw a loose and dirty "Lion King" for Genesis sitting on a tarp, the guy said it was $1, so I was going to pass it up, but then he said he had more. And sure enough he had a bug full and said they were $5 for all. So I glanced in the bag and bought them all.
As I'm listing them now, this is the first time I've actually looked to see what I got ;) Earthworm Jim Ms. Pac-Man Aaahh!!! Real Monsters Lion King Splatterhouse 3 Jurrasic Park Mortal Kombat College Football USA 96 Ecco: The Tides of Time T2: The Arcade game The Lost Vikings Mary Shelley's Frankenstein Sonic Classics The Lost World: Jurrasic Park Sonic 2 Caesar's Palace Sonic the Hedgehog Clay Fighter Warlock Earthworm Jim Damn, there was more in there than I thought, and only 1 sports game and only a couple that I already have.

Title: Re: WOOT! Flea Market season has finally started Post by: NES_Rules on March 31, 2007, 03:35:58 PM What flea markets do you go to? Do you go to the one in Rogers Ohio? I'll go to Rogers occasionally, but that is the one that I said the vendors usually buy everything good up early in the morning. My favorite is Four Seasons in Youngstown. I almost always get something decent. I also go to Michaelangelo's in Pennsylvania, but I don't know why. It used to be great, but it's dwindled down to an average of 5 vendors each week. And it's usually the same old crap every week. Title: Re: WOOT!

The Flea Markets around here all have people selling over priced games and they seem to walk around and buy up all the cheap games to resell, so I haven't done that well at Flea Markets around here. I'm glad you got something before those resellers got it. I stopped going to Rogers last year because I was sick of the same three people sell over priced games. I might go once this year, but I don't think I will get any good deals. I had really good luck last year with local yard sales so that is where I will spent most of my game searching time this summer. Title: Re: WOOT! Flea Market season has finally started Post by: NES_Rules on March 31, 2007, 07:15:07 PM Usually when I go there, I don't really go for games, but just to see what random crap people are selling.
There was one guy that 4-5 tables full of NES, SNES, and N64 games each overpriced. They obviously have been sitting there quite a while because half the labels were so sun damaged I could barely read them. I hope he never sells them. Title: Re: WOOT!

Do you have the Shadowrun on eBay right now? I came across that and a sealed Musya recently. Nice finds. Title: Re: WOOT!
