You still have that PS1? I may have another A/C adapter.

another thing would be Silent Hill on the PS1 for $1. it's always good to look in the CD/DVD bins at the flea markets.

Very nice, indeed :)

P.S.

Which/Where do you got to fleamarkets, redblaze57?!

New Egypt cause it's the closest this year I'm going to try to get to different ones though

We get *tons* of yard/garage sales around here -but- NO flea markets (that I know of, at least).

Here are some of my best scores at flea markets/garage sales:

- Valkyrie Profile(PS1) - $2
- Ogre Battle March of the Black Queen(PS1) - $2
- Harvest Moon 64(N64) - $3
- Xenogears(PS1) - $2
- Musha(Genesis) - $40
- Bangai O(Dreamcast) -$4

And the best one of all was finding a N64 lot had a arctic blue N64 and about 50 games in it, most of which were valuable/sought after games like Conker, Smash Bros, Majoras Mask, Castlevania Legacy, and Gold Ocarina of Time. Paid $50 total for it.

Lol it sees to come in waves. I have periods of horrible luck while hunting, sometimes lasting months, and then all of the sudden I find so much stuff for so cheap I still almost run out of game money :p. I am currently in a sweet spot though, having found Earthbound on New Years for extremely cheap, and today I found a brand new Japanese PS2 console for $60. Hope this wave lasts a bit longer. . or forever would be nice :p

Haha, I sure hope so for you. I've had waves of luck too, but maybe a little less good deals than these. Recently I've gotten at top 50% off the usual market price, but that's still better than nothing  ;D
