I haven't posted in quite some time (Had a major cold streak). I don't remember my last submission, but I'll try not to repeat myself.

Earlier this month, I went to my "usual" store in our local flea market and managed to find a couple games that hadn't been adjusted up price-wise (NES/SNES stuff is ridiculous, now). I picked up:

$15 Sidearms - TurboGrafx-16 (case and manual)
$5 Silpheed: The Lost Planet (compilation) - PS2

The next week, I saw an add for a local pawnshop with a 50% off all games sale and it listed "lots of retro" in the add. I have NEVER found any retro stuff at any of the local pawn shops, but figured it was worth a try. Sure enough, when I got there, I could tell there was quite a bit of retro. The NES/SNES/N64 had clearly been picked through but there were some scraps left (all prices were pretty much standard Ebay prices but 50% off of that is pretty good).

The slim pickings in my usual fare caused me to look at a system, that I've owned for almost 25 years but never shop for, my Game Boy. Their selection was very good (I should have been more aggressive with those).

I left the shop with:

$1 Midnight Magic - Atari 2600
$2.50 Hexen - N64
$5 Mischief Makers - N64
$6.50 Metroid Prime 2: Echoes - Gamecube
$10 Luigi's Mansion - Gamecube (for a friend)
$5 Gargoyle's Quest - Game Boy
$5 TMNT: Fall of the Footclan - Game Boy
$2.50 Mr. Chin's Gourmet Paradise - Game Boy

Recently, my buddy and I discovered a local-ish reseller whose prices tend to be 20% less than most of his competition (still pretty expensive). Since we can't make the time to go out to see him very often, we went a little nuts with the NES stuff (I'm a little embarrassed by some of these prices but I was trigger happy - the top 2 ended series for me):

$35 Mega Man 6
$25 Castlevania
$15 Shatterhand
$10 Ultima: Quest of the Avatar
$5 Gradius
$5 Star Tropics 2: Zoda's Revenge
$3 Metal Mech

Hey everyone got a package in the mail yesterday from Silver80! Thanks again Brett!  Now I have a bunch of TI-99A games to play on my system! Especially Star Trek and Buck Rogers! Should have another package from another member on here on it's way soon to help with my NES list and I hope to do a little browsing tomorrow or Friday, nothing much though as I don't have a ton of money, so it will probably be mostly my brother buying little things.  He did however lose a bid on 31 boxed PC games he was sniped at the last minute. WELL anyways here is the rundown~!

-Centipede
-Early Learning Fun
-Household Budget Management
-Hunt The Wumpus
-Moon Mine
-Munchman
-Number Magic - CIB

-Star Trek (I think it might be the Sega Version - Anyone know the difference)

*Game Boy:
-James Bond 007 (I need a cart or box & cart)

*SNES:

- Star Wars KotOR II, $0.95: Shadz, I know you're disappointed that this isn't yet another Pokemon game boy cart. And for that, I am truly sorry.

Nice. I've been on the look out for a cheap copy of this for a while. Stores around here want $20 for it.

I got first grabs at stuff being put out in Goodwill because I know most of the staff on a first name basis now, and grabbed a really nice CIB Wii copy of CoD 3 for $2.39, that's about it.
