Awesome Video Game Deals at Fleamarkets/Garage sales

[JM]

Not a pawn shop or Flea market deal, but this was my best snag. In 2002 some guy came into my GS & offered to sell me some Saturn games(he had heard me talking about Saturn stuff & I mentioned I'd take any old stuff he had.)

He told me to make him an offer & I said I had $37.00 in my wallet, and apparently that was good enough. Here is what I got for $37 dollars. All complete, BTW.

Dark Savior
Three Dirty Dwarves
Gun Griffon
GUARDIAN HEROES
PANZER DRAGOON SAGA.

I was very pleased to say the least.

God damn... That was a well spent 37 dollars.

I've never really had any luck at garage sales and the like. The only ones I've ever been to are in my grandmother's town, and hardly anyone there plays games.

He once found an Odyssey 2 (with box and manuals), 12 O2 games, an unopened Pikachu N64 and Two Crude Dudes for Genny all for $30!!!

My mom sold my Odyssey 2... with box and manuals... for about that much. At that point I didn't really care. I never knew how much it'd bother me me years down the road. It sucks. I don't know how much it'd cost me to replace that stuff.

I'm the king of pawn shop deals - Everything that costs an arm and a leg for SNES on Ebay I've found at pawn shops for $10 Cdn. at the most (FF II, III, CT, Dracula X, Secret of Mana, etc.) When I find them I usually haggle on the price too. Couple of copies of Disgaea, and quite a few PSX Rpgs for dirt cheap also. Flea markets in my area all seem to want Ebay prices for everything.

I got secret of mana at a used record store for $7, same with FF II, They just make up prices for them, they don't even care if they could get a good $30 off a game... but at the same time they over charge, like they had a virtual boy for $50, see Im a collector, but Im not spending over $30 for an older system.

At the NWCGEE a few weeks ago, this guy had boxed NES games in absolutely amazing condition for 3 bucks each. The LOZ gold box, SMB2, a few others..but man, these boxes were nice. Almost perfect.

Roufuss has a lot of flea market video game finds for this thread. And I do mean A LOT.
