Once again, the weather has been spectacular, and the deals are flowing. Although I really didn't think it would be a good weekend, judging by how badly it started out.  The garage sales on Saturday were terrible, there were a lot of them, but there just wasn't anything at all. I don't think I saw a single video game the entire day. 

Saturday Garage Sales This was the only thing worth taking a picture of from garage sales. It's a cassette tape holder, but they fit Genesis games perfect, so that's what I wanted it for. I have a nice set of drawers but, they won't fit the taller Genesis games, so they'll go in here. The only other things I bought at garage sales were a couple CDs (Bruce Springsteen and Def Leppard) and got a bunch of empty CD cases for free at the same sale.

Sunday Flea Market These were from my regular trading guy. I've got nearly all the Nintendo and Sega stuff I want from him, so today I took the Atari stuff. He had a box out front marked $1 each, another box full with a system for $40 and another box in his vehicle. I just picked out the ones I don't have but ended up with a double. I traded him a Mario Kart 64, Donkey Kong Country, Super Mario World, and Super Mario All-Stars.

Right across the aisle from him, I see a SNES games laying in a pile of junk a guy is unloading from his truck. I pick up the game and then notice and couple SNES game boxes in the pile as well. I ask the guy from a price and he says "I don't know, $0.50?" Now, that's what I like to hear. He then says there are cords in the truck as well, but then just looks at me. I had to ask him a couple times to get them. He finally got the cords and a few more games. I ended up offering and paying $5 for it all. I doubt he would have been able to do the math anyway. Super Caesars Palace and Boxing Legends had a little mold on the  boxes, but I think I got them cleaned up.

Found these a little while later, I wasn't really interested in anything in the lot, but asked for a price anyway, she said $5 for it all. As I was paying, I noticed the Hardball III in another box on the ground, I asked if I could take it as well. She agreed since it was of no use to her now anyway. The Baseball manual was in that box as well.

All in all, a spectacular day at the old flea market and a good weekend overall. I'm going to have some kind of new games withdrawal once Autumn sets in and the garage sales and flea market dry up.
