I hear that this person is devilishly handsome and has an award winning personality. He's also modest.

Hopefully nothing was damaged when the Wizardry tower fell.

They had their annual clearance sale on last week, so there was a discount on pretty much everything in stock, plus Project DIVA 2nd was the lowest price they've had it for a while (it's back up in price now unfortunately). I know what I'm playing tonight. :)

This past Wednesday I won an auction at Mercado Libre for a GameBoy for the the ridiculous price $ 10.66 bucks, guess that the owner didn't want it anymore cause it's complete, in a perfect state and working like a charm, he also sent me two games to test it, one of this titles is the all mighty Disney's DuckTales and the NFL Quarterback Club 96, really don't care much about this one but since it's free who cares  ;D

So I just found another copy of Shadoan (DVD Version.)

(http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j238/foxhack/DP/finds-2015-04-03.jpg)

The box is crushed to hell but the manual and registration card are mint, and the jewel case is sealed. This disc works on DVD players and PC / Macs via player software. I've never seen this specific variant before (it might be the very first release since the box has an ESRB sticker on it) so I figured it was worth grabbing. $3.

Fun fact: The back of the box has a review tagline quote from someone from Nu-Tech Digital... which is the same company as DVD Ltd. They got a quote from the publisher and tried to pass it off as a review. (They also published a hella lot of public domain, porn, and hentai DVDs, but that's neither here nor there.)

WHOO HOO!!! garage sales have started up, while not a lot but I still found some nice finds.  ;D

The very 1st sale I hit I found games. these where that only ones I picked up. for $3 each.
XBOX
- Legacy of Kain Defiance
- House of the Dead III
XB360
- Kinect Disneyland Adventures

Next sale had a PS1 and a Gamecube with a bunch of games they where priced at $7 for the systems and $1 each for the games but a reseller beat me to it.  :-\

a few sales later I asked about games and the lady said she had some Wii games, while I waited I found a Nintendo DSi XL mixed in with a box full of random cables. It even had a New Super Mario Bros. cart in the system. (no charger or stylist) I asked another lady there how much and she said $1. lol Sold! The other lady brought out a stack of Wii games and most where crap, and she wanted $5 a piece, I picked out three and asked if she'd take 3 for $10 and she said okay. Here's what I got.
- Super Mario Galaxy
- Hasbro Family Game Night
- Cooking Mama: World Kitchen

Next few sales where nothing, then I found a couple more Wii games at one sale for $2 a piece and the only one I didn't have was...
- The Sims 2 Castaway

Then the very next sale they had a bunch of PS2 games but they where in pretty bad shape, and one Gamecube game. and for $2 I couldn't pass it up, plus it was the only one in the series I was missing.
- Mario Party 5  :D

That was all for garage sales....
Not to bad for the first weekend with only maybe 12 sales going on in the area.

Found this on a clearance table for $5 brand new.
3DS
Beyblade Evolution - collector's edition

And last another rare game I traded a bunch of my extras to get.
SCD
- Popful Mail  ;D

I don't own a 360, nobody wanted this game whenever I offered it up for trade, it was worth $6.40 (but ended up being $8 when I got to the store)... and it cost me a dollar, so technically I paid $1 for this $40 crapware.

Hell, I'm happy.

Ah...I wasn't expecting to buy much this month with Mortal Kombat X being my only planned purchase.  Alas, I've ended up with a bit of goodies.

Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories for the GameBoy Advance, complete and NM in box
Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories for the GameBoy Advance Japanese version, complete in box in VG condition.
Kingdom Hearts Re:  Coded for the DS new/sealed
Kingdom Hearts 3D Dream Drop Distance for the 3DS new/sealed
Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep for the PSP new/sealed
Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days for the DS new/sealed
Stretch Panic for the PS2 complete NM condition
Dead or Alive Ultimate 1 & 2 in great condition with books, cards and collector's box for Xbox
Dead or Alive 3 complete in good condition for the Xbox
Dead or Alive 4 complete in great condition with just a few little disc scratches for Xbox 360

And in case you are wondering...no, I still do not own an Xbox and/or 360 nor do I plan on purchasing one.  I've been eyeing Dead or Alive 5 Final Round for the PS4 but can't bring myself to buy it not owning the previous four games (not counting variations).  Yeah...OCD is a b!tch like that!   :(

The Club Nintendo Majora's Mask messenger bag has shipped out.  Got mine real quick after I saw the email for it show up.  Bit cheaper than I thought as it feels more like one of those tote bags you can get at stores for your groceries with a top on it compared to a proper messenger bag like I do own, but I can't complain much, it's a free gift lol

It isn't the best.  I wasn't expecting anything super high quality like my own messenger beg which is a very heavy duty canvas feeling bag, but it's not completely awful.  Not like I was gonna use it anyways lol

Didn't expect to add another game to my collection so soon but yesterday was talking with a partner here at the office and really dunno how but we started talking about old games, at some point he told me that he was trying to gain some extra money from them and when I asked for the titles names never expected to hear about Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars so offer him $ 10.00 bucks for it, as soon I arrived home tested this fella and created a new profile just to watch the scene where Mario founds Princess Peach Dildo's at her room :-[

(http://1.t.imgbox.com/0aqbl7h8.jpg) (http://imgbox.com/0aqbl7h8) (http://9.t.imgbox.com/JDyD2IdL.jpg) (http://imgbox.com/JDyD2IdL) (http://2.t.imgbox.com/ujhdTF25.jpg) (http://imgbox.com/ujhdTF25)

Guess that it was a good purchase, as everybody can see from the images the condition of the cartridge and the label is not mint but it is good enough (I give it a 8.5), the minimum price for this one at Amazon or eBay is between the $ 45 and $ 50 bucks so at least for me it was a very good deal.

Went to a pawn shop before class today and they had just gotten tired of their video games sitting around since they were overpriced so all 360 and ps3 games were $3 and all psp were $2 so I picked up infamous 1 and 2, one of the king of fighters on 360, stoked, nothing too great here, but then came the psp games and I got star ocean second evolution, disgaea 2, fading shadows (New), test drive unlimited, and a couple others I cant remember.  Everything's complete for $27 pretty glad I stopped :)

Mail time! :D Today I got Ice Hockey (NES) and Bust-A-Move '99 (PS1) in the mail today. Unfortunately, as expected, the case for the PS1 game didn't quite make the trip here. It's not completely wrecked, but it doesn't quite open properly now. The disc is in perfect condition though. :)

Good issue of Nintendo Power. Love the earlier issues, they had the coolest covers in those first few years.

So, I've got a really weird story today. I was at EB Games today and saw that they had the limited edition of Perfect Dark Zero (360) for only $5 (same price as the standard edition). It was in more or less perfect condition and had all of it's inserts. I already had a copy of the standard edition and I figured I may as well buy the LE for $5. When I went up to the counter and one of the employees got the disc for the game, I asked if they had the bonus DVD too that was supposed to come with the LE. The employee, who didn't appear to make any effort to look for the copy with the bonus disc, tells me that it was probably never traded in with one. Now, I think he's full of s*** and probably just didn't want to look for it, because somebody who kept the game in immaculate condition like that with all of the other inserts wouldn't have bothered to keep just the DVD and trade in the rest. He then proceeds to be rather pushy with getting me to buy their foolish scratch protection replacement nonsense (which for $2 is almost half the cost of the game), and with preordering crap, so I'm even more annoyed at this point. When I got home I got out my standard edition of the game because I planned on giving it away to somebody I know would play it. When I opened up its case what did I find? The DVD from the limited edition which I was missing from the copy I had bought today. :o Now I have a complete copy of the limited edition. :D

Anyways... Today's pickups:
-Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA F (PS3) ;D -This was the first time I had actually seen a copy of this in a store anywhere. This version of the game came out before Sega started localizing all of them and before the series had gained in popularity over here, so it's not particularly common, unlike the newer entries in the franchise.

-Perfect Dark Zero Limited Collector's Edition (360) :)

It wasn't exactly cheap, but I wouldn't say it was overpriced either. At $40 (minus my discount from my Edge membership, so around $37), it wasn't really a steal, but since that's more or less what its worth, it was in good condition, I hadn't seen it for sale in-person before, I just got paid, and I really wanted it, I bought it. :)

Nope, they had money in it.  They were hoping no one would come get it.  They had a rough value on the stuff at $20,000.  I got it back by paying the pawn off for $4k.

EDIT: I'm saying that before they were announced, I had them on pre-order. So in August of 2013 I picked up the first game as a pre-order. In November of 2014, I picked up the second as a pre-order.

I keep finding the weirdest shit.

(http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j238/foxhack/DP/finds-2015-04-11a.jpg)

That is a Polish PC version of Lowrider Extreme. I have no idea if this is related to the PS2 version of the game. This also claims to have two other games, "Arctic Stud Poker Run" (yes that is a real game) and something else I don't remember. $3.

Edit: This was apparently released in America as "Ride 'Em Low." And it's on Steam (http://store.steampowered.com/app/65070/). Dammit.

(http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j238/foxhack/DP/finds-2015-04-11b.jpg)

One of my usual sources for crappy Mexican DVD multipacks brought two milk crates full of CDs. They were filled with lots and LOTS of budget PC games and some Microsoft software. I really had to keep myself from buying everything that looked like my kind of crappy... but I'll probably go back and clean him out next week once I get some extra cash. I spent $15 in total for the games above and four other games I'll be selling on eBay to recoup the cost. $15 total (down from $20), so $1.50 each.

I actually did pickup 2 games this weekend, off of Target's clearance rack.

I grabbed Invisimals for the PSP for $6, mainly because it came w/ the PSP camera. And I snagged Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel for the PS3 for $10, because that's the cheapest price I've seen on it. I know the game wasn't received well, but I was pleasantly surprised by the second game in the series so I've always wanted to give #3 a shot once it got cheap enough.

Those are the only games I've picked up in April so far tho, so I'd still say I'm doing pretty well. :)

-Sim City (SNES) <- Love this game, and I'm glad to finally have a copy.
-Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z (PS3) <- I haven't really heard a whole lot of good things about this one, but it was cheap and had the comic and everything else.

NES -   Nigel Mansell's World Championship Racing
Xbox - Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords  (I don't know where my copy went)
GameCube - Four Swords Adventure

Knock a chunk off the Wishlist.  And all for about $80

Look, it's another piece of weirdness.

This thing contains a bunch of crappy photos, scans and screenshots of the game, a screensaver, and some movies. And a walkthrough in Chinese. I got lucky and the seller only asked for a buck, yippee.

Yesterday I received at the office my last Mercado Libre's purchase, it took me a month to pay it cause my financial situation right now is not the one that I want but this won't stop me to add more titles to my collection, am talking about the Contra III: The Alien Wars (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contra_III:_The_Alien_Wars), paid for this little fella $ 25 bucks which is a great price if you consider that I was able to do two payments instead of one in a whole month also the prices at Amazon and eBay again are highest for this game, dunno why but certain times is better to purchase at Mexico  ;D

My latest additions to the collection, thank you 99gamers.com (mostly)! Had to get Red Dead Revolver after enjoying Red Dead Redemption so much. I have the PC version of Duke Nukem 3D, but I needed a console version. FF X was a long time coming for my collection.

And that NES book sounds so cool! It's ordered, but not here. It's reviews for all NES games reviewed up to that point in VideoGames & Computer Entertainment magazine, which at the time was easily the biggest, most informative gaming magazine out there (EGM & GamePro were around, but didn't quite have the quality and size they'd get in just a couple years). Got it for under $5! Goodwill eBay item! (It sucks Goodwill put stuff online rather than in-store for this stuff, but when they do, they are often the cheapest listing on eBay.)

Hit several garage sales this weekend and at first I thought this week was going to be a bust, then I hit that sale that made it all worth the time.  ;D

First my store pick ups.

XBone
- Mortal Kombat X Kollector's Edition

Found a crap ton of games on clearance at Kmart for $4-$6

3DS
- Boulder Dash XL 3D
- Nano Assault
- Moshi Monsters Moshlings Theme Park
- Lego Pirates of the Caribbean

PS3

- Camping Mama: Outdoor Adventures
- Little League World Series Baseball: Double Play
- Sonic Colors
- Kung Zhu

Now from Garage Sales.  ;)

The first sale I hit I picked up a Yobo NES/SNES clone console complete for $5. Not a big fan of clone consoles but for $5 CIB. Sure I'll bite.

Hit a church sale and only found a Home Alone Tiger LCD handheld in a beat-up blister card for $1.50.
They had a Sonic 2 one also but some other dude beat me to it.

Wii
Some Wii games for $1 each I didn't have.
- Your Shape
- Glee Karaoke Revolution
- Hannah Montana: Spotlight World Tour
And at a different sale...
- New Super Mario Bros. Wii ($5)

After many sales of nothing over the last 3 days I was giving up and any good finds, Then I came across this....
I Stopped at a sale and asked about video games, the lady didn't speak a lick of English so I was about to leave when her 10 year old son asked me what I wanted, I asked about video games and he said he'll go ask his dad. So he ran in the house and I waited and he comes out not telling me anything, I asked did he have anything? And he goes running back inside. (guess he forgot to ask) lol
His dad comes out with a 25th Anniversary Mario Red Wii in the box, He wanted $30 at first I was thinking sure then I looked inside and saw it was a standard White Wii and couldn't think of any reason of paying $30 for a White Wii so I passed. I asked anything else? And he comes out with a Original Xbox with about 5 games, Halo 1 & 2, Sonic Heroes and a couple sport games. It was pretty beat up so I passed. Again I asked anything else, maybe older? and He brings out an old beat up duffel bag and When I looked inside I asked how much and he said $35. and I said sold. A Sega Genesis Model 1 with 4 controllers, all hook ups and 28 games (and 1 Gamegear game for some reason) lol Most where loose but some did have their boxes. I asked about any more, and he said that was all he had.

Only was doing trade-ins today at the game store, but I saw he had a couple of those Majoras Mask pins that came with the Codename Steam preorders. Little pricey, but I still had some credit saved up.  The pin is nice and I love the little branded box.  Still sealed too, though I'll probably just end up opening it lol

I'm trying to post a picture, but my lack of computer abilities have struck me again. ~_~() I'll have to update the old fashioned way:

PlayStation 2: Space Channel 5 Special Edition. Ulala is FIERCE and since I can never find the Dreamcast version, I think this is the next best thing. I played a little bit of it and it's more difficult than I thought it would be.

Dreamcast: Jet Grind Radio. No explanation needed. I'm thrilled by this find.

Dreamcast: Atelier Marie and Elie. This import from Japan arrived and I couldn't be more excited. I love the Atelier series and I'm finally going to be able to see the first leading ladies. Now I need to find a way to actually play them on my console. XD This version of the game was far cheaper than any of the counterparts.

Sim Ant, Robin Hood, and Loom(!) were $1.99, and Dune II was $2.99. The Atari Flashback 2 was $9.99 and is already in pieces for another cart mod, and the weird thing in the middle is a Rocketfish Laserpointer/Travel Mouse hybrid at 99 cents.

Freaking ADORE DuckTales! One of the best games in the entire NES library, IMO. Such a good platformer.

I forgot to mention them, but last week I believe I picked up Perfect Dark Zero for $2, in the steel case. No slipcover or other physical extras, but it did have the extra disk and for $2, can't really complain. I also got Best Buy to pricematch Gamestop's price on Driveclub, since none of my nearby GS' had it in stock - so that was $20 + tax. Fun game so far too, I was under the impression it was a GT-like simulator, but it's really more of an arcadey-ish rally game. Looks gorgeous too. :)

Caught a local game store slipping quite a bit on both of these. Ended up paying $16 for the first Jade Cocoon, and only $4 for the sequel.

I'm always on the lookout for transparent cases too, since so many PS1 games are cracked, it's great to be able to switch the cases :)  But I have yet to find ones that fit more than 1 disc. That's a great find  ;D

Scooped up a little yard sale pull today. I wasn't even out planning on going to yard sales and just happened to randomly stop into this one when I was driving by. It didn't have any video games but I thought I'd give it a shot and ask if she had any. Sure enough just brought out come quality titles along with the not so surprising shuffle wear. I picked out four titles for 20 dollars

-LoZ: Windwaker (Missing Manual so if anyone has one I'll buy it)

For 2/3/4 disc cases all it is, is the outside of jewel cases from regular one disc cases attached to that black middle part. I can make a video of how to replace those if that doesn't make sense to you.

Went to the flea market for the first time this year, and boy was it worth it. Found everything listed below within the first 20 stalls, and then didn't see anything else. Must have just got lucky today.

First stall I found videogames at I was looking and it was all PS2/Xbox junk, but then I came to the front table and saw some saturn games CIB, after flipping through Vitrua Fighter and Daytona USA I found some great games for decent prices. So I bought:


For a total of $33, only a few bucks off what it was marked but for CIB saturn I'm fine paying that price.


About 10 stalls down I saw a few boxes just packed with games. Saw some jewel cases and PS2 cases. Looked like a lot of crap with some GH titles on top and sports games, but a little ways down I found these.


All CIB except for Vandal Hearts missing the manual.
Got those for $55 because 2 guys were watching over someone elses stall and the one guy was trying to call the owner for each barter and the other guy was like "Hey, screw him, tell him if he wants those extra dollars to get his ass down here himself". So thanks random guy, saved like 10 bucks from the stickers.


Overall great day. Happy I went this morning. And got a good 2k steps in walking around, the hidden good part of the flea market is that its a good workout too :)

I stopped by my nearest Gamestop yesterday and they were swapping out their marketing displays, so my manager friend hooked me up with the Xenoblade 3DS promo poster they had hanging up as well as an oversized Majora's Mask 3D display box.

While I was there, I grabbed Blazblue: Continuum Shift Extend to complete my CE of that game. I only need to pick Chrono Phantasma back up and I'll have all of the PS3 Blazblue games, and the complete CE's for the 3 that had them in NA.

The month is ending so before this happen have to add to my April's purchases the following two titles, was searching only for the Ring king (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_King), where i do have to admit that this game is not that good in fact the only reason to add this one into my collection was because this game has caused some controversy in the past with Nintendo policy of censorship in the other hand the seller for some reason also sent me the Tecmo Baseball (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tecmo_Baseball) for free, this one looks like crap but since only paid less than 5 bucks for both of them I don't have any complain  ;D

Thanks to who ever it was (sorry I forget) that clued me in to the existence of a physical (Japan only) PS3 release that it isn't region locked and has English subtitles!

Ducktales 2 Bit Box custom case from Stone Age Gamer.

I already have the game and felt it needed more than a plastic sleeve to protect it.

The Omega Quintet CE arrived yesterday. The contents are quality, but I question what why they decided to go with an autograph book? An art book and a CD with the music are pretty SOP these days. The pins are a nice touch. The box that all of the contents came in is sturdy. But, an autograph book? It seems like a waste of paper to me.

The Asian version of Okami is the one with English subtitles, not the Japanese one. But before you start feeling too bad, when I got mine I discovered it's basically the downloadable version on a disk - you install it and then don't even use the disk, so it's not like you're playing from the disk, saving hdd space, etc. Still, I am glad I own a physical copy since I love that game. :)

-Guitar Hero II (PS2) $1
-Halo: Combat Evolved (Xbox) $1

Also got the first episode of Hellsing Ultimate on DVD for $1. It's not a game, but it's still awesome anyways.

Took advantage of the 4 for $10 deal on select titles at GameStop and came out with these four games. By the time I got there today, it was pretty well picked through, but even then, there was only one game on the list I really wanted that they didn't have: Madworld on Wii.

I grabbed 4 in the sale too. Just found out about it today, so my stores were kinda picked over too. Got some things I had been wanting to pickup for the collection tho, but I didn't want to pay much for them, so it worked out:

Assassin's Creed (I now have all the console games in the series except the 2 released last year)
Killzone 3 (re-completing my Limited Helghast Ed. set)
Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare (previously had the expansion stuff digitally)
Medieval Moves: Deadman's Quest

Might check another store tomorrow & see if I can do one more run, but it's doubtful I'll find the ones left I'm looking for all complete.

A local game store started getting into selling repro carts (smart move if you ask me) and I picked these two up today.

My copy of Romancing SaGa 2 arrived. I'm still neck-deep in RS3 so it may be some time before I can get into it, but I'm glad I found it for a good price.

Kinda bummer find. I was in an antique store and picked up a CIB copy of Grind Stormer for the Genesis for $5. The bummer part is that it doesn't work. It's clean and looks fine but apparently these Tengen Genesis carts didn't use quality PCBs. There is a ray of hope, I've read on atariage there's been people who have swapped the rom chip from Grind Stormer onto the PCB of cheap Tengen games like Pit Fighter so I might try that and see what happens.

If this wasn't such a ridiculously expensive game I probably wouldn't bother

I got a lot of good stuff this week, mostly due to the 4 for 10 deal at gamestop, and a lucky craigslist find. ( my phone's camera isn't very good)
(http://i.imgur.com/uIFv9t1.jpg)

Gamestop 4 for $10:
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune(PS3)
Super Street Fighter IV (PS3)
Killzone 2(PS3)
LittleBigPlanet(PS3)
Batman Arkham City(PS3)
Assassin's Creed II ( PS3)
Resident Evil 5 (PS3)
God of War Origins Collection(PS3)
Also from GS: Demon's Souls (PS3)-$16, and Raiden IV disc only- $2 w/ coupon
Then I got the two Gamecube games from a CL deal:
Pikmin 2-$20
Pokemon Box: Ruby& Sapphire-$100
I'm pretty happy to knock these two off of my wishlist, especially Pokemon Box!
I'm also getting a copy of Class of Heroes 2G($65) within the next day as well, so this is probably one of my best hauls yet!

Maybe. I found this on amazon, take a look at the last listing. Maybe you have some thoughts?

http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B002VHVPPE/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition=used&qid=1430482851&sr=8-3

Not only is the image for Romancing SaGa 2, but the condition being listed as acceptable makes me cautious. Also, it'd be shipped from Japan so it'd be a hot minute before it arrived AND who knows how much more damaged it'd get in transit.

Yeah, honestly stuff like that is a bit risky from Amazon. Amazon Japan may have more options, but most of the sellers usually don't ship to the US. The best option I can reccomend is Ebay, and I did find a listing thats in good condition for the price. Here's what it looks like:

 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Romancing-SaGa-Nintendo-snes-sfc-NTSC-J-Japan-/331541773209?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d316dfb99

I think the only problem is that it's going to take awhile to ship from Japan, but all of the US sellers on Ebay only have the game as cart only below that price. Hopefully, it won't get damaged too much in shipping, since I have had cd cases fall apart when in transit, but most of the cib sfc games I've ordered have been properly wrapped and weren't damaged at all.

Yeah, I really think its the only way to pick up a complete copy for a low price. I can't find the game on other sites where I usually import stuff, so Ebay is like the best option. There was another listing for a lower price, but the battery for saving in the cart was listed as having a good chance of not working, so it seemed like a better option, especially since the seller for( the listing above) has 100% feedback. Anyways, I'm glad to help you out with this, since finding cib sfc games can be pretty hard to find for a low price nowadays, especially on some of those titles like Front Mission: Gun Hazard.

OK, here's the story of my estate sale haul today, and how I stuck it to the eBay resellers. :)

In case anyone didn't see my post in the general thread I made while standing in line this morning, there were two guys that had gotten there ahead of me & were swapping stories about the best way to price gouge for the games they picked up at yard sales. Two *really* douchey guys. I whispered to my wife that we were wasting our time, because since they had gotten there ahead of us & would therefore get in before us, I figured they would have anything worth having before I got there. But I had woken up early & gotten there, so I was gonna stay & see what happened. Well when 8:00 hit & they let us in, I see those two guys heading towards the back of the house. I knew the people having the sale had mentioned some stuff was upstairs, so I figured I'd go that way & see what I could find. The game stuff wasn't there, but wouldn't you know sitting in a closet was an empty NES/ROB system bundle box. I snatched that, it's not in perfect shape but I've definitely seen worse and it's my first NES box. No styrofoam, unfortunately, but what can you do? I ask the people upstairs that were working the sale where the games were, and the lead me back downstairs & pointed to a room in the far back of the house.

I go in, and sure enough there are the scalper brothers tearing through the games & systems in the corner. But what's this?!?! Right above their heads, that they'e completely ignoring, is a complete & in really good condition ROB! :D That was the main thing I wanted, since I had seen "Nintendo robot" mentioned in the description of what they had. I reach over their heads and grab it, and as soon as I do one of the two guys looks up and just groans. He goes "man, I drove an hour to get that! I can't believe it was sitting right there and I looked over it!" Then he sees the box, and is like "where did you get that!?!?" I told him, and both of those guys looked like someone had just drowned their favorite puppy. It was all I could do not to laugh. Turns out there were no big scores in the games either - best thing they had was a Dragon Quest IV, but they had it marked $50 so that was hardly a deal. Oh, and the NES systems were being sold for $30/each, with NOTHING but the system - controllers were marked $10 each, and I'm not even sure if they had the power/video cords. So I finally get to the games, and pull out a decent selection that I either had fond memories of as a kid or were cheap enough & interested me enough that I figured they were worth the pickup. All of them were priced from $2 to $8 (Gradius was $8, but I loved that game as a kid).

So I came away with all of this:

...for $81 total. I feel like that was a really good price, especially judging by what at a glance I saw some complete ROB's going for on eBay. He's going to be a real showpiece in my collection - gonna clean him up real good & find a nice place to display him.  ;D

Ahh I love the sound of a Reseller's cry in the morning. lol
Grats of the Deluxe Set box / ROB pick up, in my garage sale quests I have yet to find a Deluxe Set Box or a ROB for that matter.

But I had a great system box find this weekend myself, I'll post pic's once I'm finished with garage sales tomorrow.  ;)
