So today I went to the BIGGEST Flea Market in Canada! And by big, I mean... take the biggest Flea Market in my area, and multiply its size by... around 8 times. I've never seen so many people in a flea market at once, and so many sellers. It was pretty cool just for that.

What that also means is that I've never seen so many RESELLERS. In fact, the only games I found on that day were from resellers... roughly... 7 resellers stands outside, and 2 inside... Well, minor exaggeration, a few other dealers had NHL games (we are in canada, after all)... so I don't count these... Anyways, my point is this was reseller central. Not a whole lot of reasonably-priced games there.

I still ended up getting a couple things:

Snowboard Kids 2 (a bit lower than the online price after the reseller dealt herself down)
Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow (around the online price)
Radical Rex (lower than the online price)

Rather dissapointed overall (though that's 3 games off my wishlist!), but it was nice to see such a big place with so many sellers, even though a lot of people were selling a lot of the same things... Let's just say there were more bootleg shirt sellers in that one flea market than total sellers in any other flea market I've been to before.

That Conker's manual is probably worth as much as you spent on everything today if not more.

Some excellent deals you found on PS1 games!  Very nice, I"m still trying to track down a cheap copy of FFIX.

Pretty lousy weekend.  I found some PS2 sports games for a quarter, so I picked 'em up. 

The one cool thing I did find this weekend was an original Merlin handheld game for $2.  I've never seen one, so I had to pick it up.  It's virtually worthless, but it's still a cool collectible.

My wife bought this for $150, the gum alone is worth that.


I picked these up yesterday for about $50

I have never really been THAT into anime but I thought it was a good price so I thought I would check it out.

A gumball machine is a pretty gangster move.  That would be awesome in a gameroom.

Just received New Super Mario Bros 2, including the future shop pre-order only Steelcase.

That steelcase surprised me though. I was expecting a small 3DS case-shaped thing for just the cartridge and manual, but no, it's actually DVD case-sized (but thicker) and it houses the whole game box.




Pretty nifty... but not as nifty as a gumball machine, I need one of those :P

That sucks!  Newegg did a pretty good job - I got mine on the 17th.  Now they're trying to tempt me again with $15 off Guild Wars 2...

Picked up seven genesis games from goodwill today for a buck a piece, and NHL Faceoff for playstation, mostly because I don't have any PSX games with the large cases, and I wanted one.

BUT!

In the dollar carts was:
Mutant League Hockey!  Hooray!
