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.

Nice games NES_Rules. I can't wait until yard sales start around here as well. 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.

I skipped my last class today Roll Eyes 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 Wink
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.

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.

Rogers is the same flea market I was talking about here too
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.

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.

Do you have the Shadowrun on eBay right now? I came across that and a sealed Musya recently.

Nice finds.
