Friday wasn't all that great in terms of finds, mostly because of a threat of rain kept people from having a lot of sale. But I did have a somewhat unusual find.
While at a garage sale looking through a stack of $1 NES games, the guy selling the games is talking to his buddy about Nintendo. And basically, the guy said he was looking to buy an NES but was having a hard time finding one for sale, so I stepped in and told him that I had one I'd sell. I told for $30 I'd bring it on Saturday because I knew I'd be in the neighborhood again. Unfortunately, when I went back on Saturday, he didn't have the money to pay for it. I gave him my email and told him to let me know when I could drop by with it next Saturday because I'll be in the area again, so we'll see what happens.
I did buy some games from the guy though, a little dirty, but for $1 each, I won't complain.
Rampart
Guerilla War
Base Wars
Star Wars
Championship Bowling
Exodus: Journey to the Promised Land
Days if Thunder (I forgot my lists and I didn't think I owned it, but I do.

Today, it was little bit cold this morning and it kept a lot of people away from the flea market, but I managed to find a couple things.
NES games:
Orb 3D
Trog!
Yoshi
Donkey Kong Classics
Airwolf
I traded a loose DKC2 + $10. Maybe not the best deal, but I'm sure I only paid a buck or two for the DKC2.

The guy also had a Deluxe NES in the box with everything but the Gyromite cart for $100. I almost had it for $50 though. He was trying to call his son to get a price on it, but he wouldn't answer so he was going to give it to me for $50, but just then his son called back and he upped his price to $100. That kind of irritated me, because he didn't know what the DKC2 sold for and didn't call to get a price check on that. I didn't want to bitch about it though, because he's normally good to me and likes to trade.

$100 for a Deluxe set that complete is a pretty good deal as it is.

@BadEnoughDude:
I knew it was a good deal, but I wasn't sure of how good of a deal it was at the time. Yeah, I'll probably never find one in that condition again, but $100 is a lot to spend at one time without time to think it through. Plus, there's a lot of Wii games I want to get, and them things aren't exactly as cheap as the games I'm used to buying. However, if it's there next week, I might pick it.

@NES_Rules:
If it's there, and you don't want it, I'd be interested  That was on of my "2008 Collecting Goals."

Too bad you didn't got the Deluxe set for $50. That'd make an awesome deal.
