Another great week this week.
While flea market shopping last Sunday with a friend was telling him about how Ive been looking for a working game gear, and how all the ones Ive been finding are broken in some way. He said he had one sitting in his basement that I can have. He gave it to me this week, and it was a bit more than I expected. Came with the game gear Game gear travel case Game Gear TV Tuner Game Gear Magnifying Glass (forget the official name) Original Paperwork, 6 Games, and 5 Instruction books. Games: Quiz Wiz Movie Trivia Sonic The Hedgehog Sonic Chaos Streets of Rage Ren & Stimpy Quest for the Shaven Yak and Choplifter III

Then Friday went to Gamestop for their buy 2 get 1 free on used games. Picked up all GBA: Pinball of the Dead Tactics Ogre (for some reason after reading the GBA Bootleg thread, I think this may be a bootleg, label is a little blurry and game froze 3 times on me already) Shaman King Final Fantasy V Lunar Legend Rebelstar Tactical Command Shining Soul Eye of the Beholder King of Fighters EX-NEO Blood CIMA: The Enemy River City Ransom Sword of Mana Phantasy Star Collection All of this ran me about $38 and some change.
After this came Sunday and it was time for the flea markets. Had to go to a motocross tournament to see my GFs brother compete at 8am so I only had about 1/2 hour at this huge flea market, sadly I only got to see about 1/2 of the flea market, and was either lucky that I picked up all that I did, or maybe there was a lot more people selling games and I missed some other big finds. Either way I picked up the following: PS2 all CIB: Baulders Gate Dark Alliance Devil May Cry 2 Red Faction II Medal of Honor Rising Sun GT3: A-spec PS1 all CIB: Need for Speed III Cool Boarders 2 Rampage World Tour Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 and Driver Also Picked up the GTA San Andreas Strategy Guide Everything was $1 each, got 10 games and they gave me the Strategy Guide for free.
Next I picked up Super Pitfall for the NES. I saw all of these Nintendo games and started looking through them unaware that he was a pro video game seller only selling video games. When I asked how much he said $10, I said no thank you, then went to $5. I still said no thank you and then he asked how much I wanted to pay for it. I told him I just come to these to find really cheap games and he didnt want to know what I wanted to pay for it. So he said how about you give me a dollar for it. I said ok, maybe should have seen if he would have given me the other nes games he had that I needed for $1 too but he was making me feel a bit strange so I just walked.

Last place I got to stop before we had to leave I saw some great games, Picked up BattleClash & Super Smash TV for the SNES, basically new in box but not wrapped. Never seen boxes in the great of condition. Also Picked up Fear Effect, also in pristine condition. We were in such a rush thank god he showed me the find of the month for me. I was about to pay for these 3 games and he said check this out, would this be something you would be interesed in. It was a brand new Intellivision. Box in pristine condition. He said he just opened it to display to sell. Everything still shrink wrapped, all of the paperwork, and 2 games also new looking but opened. Major League Baseball, and Poker & Blackjack. Picked up the 2snes games, 1 ps game, 2 intellivision games and system all for $25.

Now the BIG question... leave the system sealed and keep looking for a used system to play, or bust this bad boy open and have some fun. Still havent decided.

I say keep that Intellivision sealed. You definately dont see them like that every day. Plus just buying a loose used one to play on wont cost you very much at all.

Thanks for the input, I think thats what I am going to do. Looking very closely it looks brand new, no dust, no dings, it is pristine... but is there anyway to tell if this is original shrinkwrap or if it was resealed?

I am by no means an expert but GameCrazy had a "sealing machine" and that does not look like the cheaper reseal plastic we had.
I agree keep it sealed. I have never seen one that way before. Pretty cool

Huge week there. I'm with everyone else... don't even care if it isn't the original seal. These things are so common keep the clean one safe and play on a beater.
