whats the best finds or deals you got from flea markets/garage sales?

[theflea]

best finds I picked up from garage sales this year so far was...
- Mega Man 7 on SNES for $5.
- A Sega Saturn with 37 games and other accessories, with 2 Genesis systems and CD add-on in box with 20 games for $25.
- A Sharp Nintendo TV combo with both controllers.

Haven't had much luck with flea markets this year.

That's not much luck?  Sounds pretty lucky to me.  I've been looking for one of those Sharp TVs for a while

Garage sales yes i've had some lucky finds, I said Flea markets haven't had much luck.

A bit ironic, considering your screen-name and all

Sadly I havent ever scored ANYTHING at a garage sale. As far as flea markets, Ive gotten a couple games a bit below fmv but not much else. Thrift stores Ive scored some and everything else seems to be just buying online or game stores (where you rarely make deals).

I have gotten such great deals from yard sales and Garage sale that it is hard to just pick 1 or 2. Some of the best deals that I have gotten are:
Swordquest Waterworld Atari 2600 Cart only but cart is in brand new condition from flea market in Hanford Calif. $5
Sonic Adventure Limited Edition Dreamcast found 2 of these on same weekend, disc only. 1 was 25 cents the other 50 cents.
Shining force CD for the Sega CD Flea market for $3 CIB not a scratch on the disc.

Also at a local Yard sale I Found 23 Sega Saturn games for $10. that is what actually got my saturn collection going, which I still have to add to my collection.

Wow!  You don't find many Waterworld carts in the wild!

The ones i can remember off the top of my head are,

Battletoads in Battle Maniacs - $2.50

I forgot the one that "got away"
Conker's Bad Fur Day - $8  I wasn't looking for games at the time, I think I was on the hunt for Magic: The Gathering cards.  I left it sitting on the shelf.  Oh stupid me.

Nothing at flea markets, but at garage sales I got a whole bunch of n6 games for $5. I also found a ps2 with 30 games for $40
I also once passed up most likely one of the greatest deals ever. A Sega genesis, Sega cd 32x and a giant box of games for $2. Such a shame.

Just got home from a day of garage sales and had another good find.
 Found an Atari 5200 (4-plug) in original box and innards with 8 games (nothing rare) but what 
 made this a good find it also came with the 2600 game adaptor and a complete masterplay
 5200 joystick Interface. if you don't know what this is, its an adapter so you can use any atari
 2600 or Sega Genesis controller instead of the crappy one it comes with. This alone sells for   
 $50-90 on ebay. Got it all for $35   
 Now i can play my 5200 and use a Genesis controller yay.

Found some Bally Astrocade games still shrinkwrapped for $2 each, 15 games total. so I bought all he had, cause you dont see astrocade games in the wild very often......
