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

- 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.
