This has been a long time coming, but here we go. This will be Part 1 of my blogs on this find. I didn't want to make really long so I am breaking it up into smaller parts.
Sorry for how long it is.
Sometime in Feb. I answered an add on Craigslist for Nintendo games. He had I think like 88 CIB Nintendo games. I was really strapped for cash but I had to go look at them and see. So I answered his ad. And he told me I could come and look them over first since I was the first to Email him. I couldn't believe my eyes when I showed up at his house and I was staring at 88 CIB Mostly Minty Fresh Nintendo games.
He wanted $5.00 a game. I only had $50.00 on me so I could only buy 10 games. Although he told me if I bought 10 games he would through one in for free.
So here is what I picked out. Final Fantasy, Ultima: Exodus, Ultima: Avatar, Popeye, Shinobi, Shortorder:Eggsplode, Three Stooges, Adventure Island II, Dungeon Magic, and Gremlins 2. And he gave me Willow.
Here are a few pictures of the first set of games I got. I took some different angles so that you could see the condition of the games.

The maps for the Final Fantasy and others I couldn't even get them to lay flat b/c they were so crisp.

This 84 page manual had been used. I guess this is one game he played a few times.

Those are amazing.
It's a good thing you picked those up, they look like they would be perfect for a re-sealer.

Hahaha this made me laugh. I wish I could say this 
But damn, I don't I've EVER seen NES games this minty. Very nice finds here. Can't wait for the next ones!

Two words: "You suck!"

Thanks, guys! I was extremely excited when I got these, but also very disappointed That I couldn't buy all 88 of the games he had. My original purchase was to get the games that I didn't own. Except the Final Fantasy. For obvious reasons. Had I known that the second guy wasn't going to buy everything else I would have waited on Dungeon Magic, Willow, Gremlins, and Shinobi. The guy told me that the second man was going to buy whatever was left.
He only bought 25 games. But they were some good games to get in mint condition. Games like Double Dragon 1,2,3 Ninja Gaiden 1,2 Super Mario 1,2,3 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1,2 GI Joe, Adventure Island , Tecmo Bowl, Super Tecmo Bowl among others.
So you can see where my disapointment comes from. BUT I guess you can't win them all, huh
Anyway, I hope to have part 2 up sometime this week.

@cverz2:FAN-TAS-TIC finds. $5.00 a piece is a STEAL for CIB NES games in that condition.
You might not have gotten all 88 of them, but 63 is still the large majority of them. (71.6%, actually)
Plus, you got Final Fantasy. And we all know Final Fantasy rules all.
