Well there was no update last week because I finally took a vacation to Cancun... what a blast that was, but that is another story.
This week I woke up very early and hit up the big flea market in my area, and then picked up a few friends and drove to the TooManyGames expo.
Found a few great deals at the flea market.
First stop I purchased 10 nintendo games with the holder.
Was asking $2 each, I purchased them all for $10.
Received: Skate or Die, R.C. ProAM, Rad Racer, Othello, Marble Madness, 1942, Top Gun, John Elways Quarterback, TMNT Arcade Game, Spy Hunter.
From another stand picked up the Final Fantasy XII strategy guide for $2. Can anyone shed any light why it says "Not For Sale" on the back though? So I am not entirely sure.
Another Pickup was Frogger 2 and Crash 2 Mint In Box, and Pac Man World CIB for $3 Each.
Last Pickup of the flea market was Mega Man X4 for the PS1 in a Sega Rally Case, NHL 99 CIB, VR Gold 97 CIB, Boxing CIB, Powerboat Racing CIB, Wild 9 Disk Only, and Dark Stone CIB all for $5.

After this was the TooManyGames Expo.
I probably wont be going back to that next year. I honestly dont feel it was even worth the 2 hour drive it took me to get there.
The expo was 1 medium sized room. In that room there were about 7 different places selling all sorts of video games from every system, one had imports. 5 out of the 7 places the prices were extremely overpriced, even what I could purchase a copy off ebay for. (I am a cheapassgamer at heart and will never pay retail for a game)
One of the places had decent prices, and 1 had good prices.
There were a few vendors selling shirts, a video game art stand (which was very cool), and a place selling food.... hot dogs and cookies lol.
On the other size of the room they had about 10 tvs hooked up to 10 different systems you could try out, and a few tournaments starting up.
There was also a dance club type room where they were playing techno remixes of old nintendo tunes... but everybody was just standing around, and there were about 5 people dressed like star wars characters on the dance floor playing light saber.
Was kind of just expecting everything to be bigger and better. Brought $500 with me looking to spend and only spent $70... oh well.
Here is the merchandise:
For the Gamecube I purchased Bomberman Generation and Metroid Prime for $5 each, CIB.
For the Xbox I purchased Doom 3 and Munch's Oddysee for $5 each, CIB.
For the NES I purchased Shigen the Ruler, The Ultimate Stuntman, and Caveman Games, all 3 for $10.
I also Purchased Zelda for the SNES CIB with everything it originally included for $35. I was most excited about this purchase. Speaking of an example of the prices, this same game at a different stand they wanted $75 for.
The last purchase is while I was talking to the artist selling video game art for quite awhile and while I was leaving he said he brought a few games to sell and asked if i wanted to check them out, I said definitely and he sold me SNES: Super Mario World, Super Mario All Stars, Aladdin, StarFox, N64: Diddy Kong Racing, and Jaguar: Iron Soldier. 6 games for $5. Sweet.
The Enchanted Arms Special Edition I purchased at the Gamestop by the Airport after getting back from Cancun for a little under $10.
