After several weeks of mediocre finds, I finally have some really good stuff to report on. I didn't get a lot of sales, two all weekend to be exact, but one was great and the other was absolutely amazing. I even managed to find one of my personal "Holy Grails" although, I have to admit, I kind of had forgotten I really even wanted one since I've been looking so long for it and haven't seen it at a good price in the years I've been collecting.





 

Best Deal of the Week?

Getting poll results. Please wait...

I know this is going to be another land slide as far as votes go, but maybe the non-Nintendo fans will think otherwise, what do YOU think was the best one of the week?

Last week's favorite deal was the "New" NES Advantage with 90% of the votes.


As of this posting, I have 2,288 total games, 1,887 unique games, and 401 duplicates. Which means I have 32 more total games, 14 more unique games, and 18 more duplicates since the last Treasure Hunt Chronicles installment.

So far, I've spent $693.46 this year ($20.00 this week) on gaming related stuff, and I spent $0.00 this week to ship stuff for trades and I brought in $0.00 from selling stuff, so I am down $229.17 this year. The total spent (amount spent on games plus amount spent on shipping for trades) this year, is $776.11

To sum up this year's stats, I have 366 more total games, 409 more unique games, and 43 less duplicates. And I have a "loss" of $229.17 for the year.

I'm not gonna pick one on this poll, sorry Mike. They are both equal in whatever rating for how good an offer is so I can't choose.
 
Great finds! I wish I could find big lots like that for so little money here.
 
lol, when you said holy grail I thought you found something reeeeealy good.  I agree with you about "almost missing stuff."  If you know the seller at the yard sale / swap meet has good prices, it's worth looking extra carefully for stuff.
 
Nice haul on both lots.  My vote goes to the Nintendo lot though.  The NES mini is hard to come by.  I remember I bought mine new at Toy's R Us for 20.00 many years ago.  To this day I don't remember what happened to the box for it.
 
Very nice Nintendo lot!!!
 
Wow. I'd never dream to find any deals even close to this around where I live. Great finds!
 
$10 for a toploader alone is a pretty good deal.

Not as good as the free one I got...

But good finds again this week!
 
$10 for a top loader alone wins the best of.  The stick, 2600, and master system are all great finds even at $10 each but a top loader for $10?  There is no comparison.
