Inspired by NES_Rules posts I'd like to document my hunts too. Whilst I don't spend quite as long at it as NES_Rules appears to, I've been blogging these on my own site, but I think including them here is also appropriate. I'm not proposing to copy all the previous entries over, so I'll start here with my latest one.

Wip3Out and TOCA 2 Touring Cars. No covers or manuals, but the cases are in good condition and I've got some that are broken, 50p each

Game Boy Color games boxed are treasures all to themselves.

Nice! Another treasure hunting blog (though you are right, NES_rules somehow manages to get tons of stuff). Do they have garage sales in UK?

This should be a very interesting idea, I've often wondered what treasure hunting is like across the pond. I know you guys call "flea markets" "car boot sales", do you have another term for garage sales?
It was kind of funny, as I was reading that, I was thinking it all looked really familiar. But then I realized it's because you've submitted scans for most, if not all of that stuff.

Nice idea!

@c4091:
Yeah, the ones shown there are the majority of my GBC collection for that reason.
@Nik the Russian:
We don't have garage sales in the UK, as far as I can tell people just throw it away 
@NES_Rules:
I suspect treasure hunting over here is very much different to what you're used to. I'm hoping to do some 'car booting' this summer and see what I can pick up.
I've been trying to keep up with the submissions as I've acquired stuff, I'd hate for it to get away from me now I've made such progress
