Well back in town for my final two weeks at the local college. Sat up in class pretty much thinking about what games and systems i could buy next. Kept checking my phone every 5 minutes to see if the local retro game store had updated their stock for the day. Then boom, they put out a whole bunch of Snes games. There were quite a few decent ones like super Mario kart, final fantasy 3, legend of zelda, street fighter 2. One of my class mates who also collect was heading down right away so i got him to pick up street fighter 2 turbo for me. Then after class i went to the store my self where i purchased another 5 nes games and two more Snes games. He also had a Nes Advantage controller there for 10$ . Couldn't resist, but being me i figured id hit up the pawn stores before i made my way back to my little pale blue room that i was renting in this older couples basement.
           The first store i went into i saw there was a Super Mario 64 cart sitting in there display. I've always had this game but this weekend i was looking through kijiji and some guy had posted a bunch of N64 games for sale. One of them being Harvest Moon 64 and a few others like Golden Eye. I messaged him asking how much for Harvest Moon and he replied that he would trade for a Super Mario 64. No brainer trade for me, as Super Mario 64 would be easy to replace. So while waiting to pick up harvest moon the guy texts me and asks if i want to buy his other 8 games for 20$ which included Goldeneye, tony hawk 1,2,3 , beetle racing and a few others. So in sort i replaced my 64 right away. Also couldn't leave the store without buying a very clean Nes with two controllers , zapper, and mario/duck hunt.  i was getting ready to go home when i had a notification on my phone for an ad i had placed looking for some snes controllers because my wife had sold my extras by accident when she was dealing a transaction for me. So i went to the guys place and got three more nintendo brand controllers to replace mine. He also had a Nintendo 64 with the atomic purple controller CIB. Needless to say i purchased this as well. So all in short it was an expensive day in my video game collecting .
         What kind of limits do everyone set for themselves? worse thing for me is once i go back home . there isn't really much selection for retro gaming and whats out there you overpay and have to see it first or its gone.
