Another nice week of collecting.
First yard sale of the day got me 6 PS2 games for $10.
Bad Boys, Hitman Contracts, Nightmare Before Christmas, True Crime LA in the NYC Box, God of War, and Ratchet & Clank.
After this went to the flea markets.
There were so many people there selling video games this time, most of these games came from different stands.
Managed to snag:
Mario Nintendo DS Case: $1
Civilization Revolution Xbox 360: $5
Mega Man 4, Bubble Bobble, Ikari III for the NES at $3 Each
Donkey Kong & Pac Man: 2 for $5
Fighting Force 2 PS1: $1
Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition, Bloody Roar 4 for PS2: $2 each
Destroy all Humans 2 Xbox: $2
also picked up some Game boy, and GBA games 5 for $10.
Was very excited about this because I never seem to find portable game cartridges outside of game shops and pawn shops.
Got: Fist of the North Star Game Boy, Metal Walker GBColor, Street Racing Syndicate GBA, MedaBots GBA, and Fire Pro Wrestling GBA.
Also Picked up a Genesis Game Genie: $2
After this I went to Gamestop where I purchased The Guy Game Disk Only, Romance of the Three Kingdoms IX CIB, and Dai Senkyaku VII CIB for a bit over $15.
Also got GTA Episodes, and a 120GB HD for the 360 for free for helping a friend out over the weekend.

Thought this deserved its own picture... at the second flea market of the day I usually dont find much because its already getting late and everything is pretty much picked over, but I found this Oddyssey 300 in almost new condition with the original box and some paperwork, which came with the old tv and the rf switch. I have been having bad luck with purchasing systems lately, (bought a broken Game Gear, and a still not working Atari 2600 over the past few weeks) so I almost passed this off... but I have never seen one of these even at the video game shops, let alone in the box sitting at a flea market... Was marked $30, picked it up for $20. Everything works perfectly, was playing pong with the GF all night.

Nice haul!
| |
Nice find indeed, cool stuff!
| |
IMO the Odyssey with the old TV was the best pick up!
| |
I agree Izret, I have never seen one, and never played one, so I was asking where the controllers were and where the cartridges go lol... how wrong I was. Thank god the seller was nice and took about 10 minutes to show me how everything worked. Was very excited to add that to my collection.

Nice find of the Odyssey, I saw one at a garage sale in similar condition (maybe a little more "used") but the guy wanted $100 for it. I'm a sucker for these old Pong units though, anytime I find one I don't have, I always try to snag it. They're just such a pain in the butt to store, especially when they don't have a box.
And is that TV identical to the one pictured on the Odyssey box? Those old TVs are neat too, if I had the room, I'd buy every one that I saw at garage sales and stack them on top of each other floor to ceiling, wall to wall, and have them all displaying the same game.

You really played Pong w/ your GF all night? wtf! 
| |
Nice grab on Mega Man 4! I also seem to never find portable games out in the wild. It really kinda sucks because there are so many that I'd like to play.

@Spoon:
Oh, I could tell you about the up-all-night pong games me and my beloved play. I'll tell you when you're older
I'll leave it at a one word-hint:
'Score!'

hahaha It is the EXACT same tv as the one on the box, they probably told him that he needed to buy it back in the day to get some commission. When I was asking about the Odyssey he said that I needed that tv to play the system, thanks for noticing, I would have never picked up on that NES.
