In the same boat as Soera, waiting for some craigslist deals to finish!

Also no offense Flea but I hate every time you post a find because all of those games are technically within arms reach for me too 

lol

Picked up Einhander and Xenogears, both complete and near mint last night. Scratch two more off my Top 10 list. 

Also picked up Heroes of Ruin and Project X Zone in great condition for the 3DS.

Finally, added a PlayStation 1 7501 model to my collection.  Weird...I actually owned it and it was just sitting there in a drawer.     I chalk it up to old age and too many games.

A couple of months ago saw for the first time the game Conquest of the Crystal Palace for the NES at one of Norm's review, totally felt in love with this title that I decided to add it into my collection, saw it at Mercado Libre without a photo in a sellers store with bad reputation where he claims that he didn't had a camera at hand to share some previews of it but since the game was on sell for only $ 15 bucks and he was the only one at ML to have it decided to give it a try, today I received this little fella in a very nice condition with a shiny and complete label, even with it original box, just need some tips in how to properly remove the Galavideo logo without damaging the cartridge

It really is a great game. I've never managed to beat it though. Nice pick up!

Yes, I did see a gameplay before the purchase and didn't saw a password option neither a save state, the dude that played this one at Youtube was getting mad at the last levels cause the enemies and the stages were getting harder, it seems that it's one of those titles of trial and error were you need to know were to land, attack and jump to progress through the labels, will try tonight and will leave my comments tomorrow

No offense taken. 
One of these days we'll have to meet up and you can ride along and see first hand how I get my finds. 

Just got an extremely rare game console in the mail yesterday, it's so rare I can't find any games for it. 
I'll show it in my next pick ups update.

No picture because I'm tired but I picked up Ogre Battle 64 today off of CRAIGSLIST!?!?! whaaaat! My first ever craigslist buy, and got it under FMV too ($35). Really excited because it works and saves. Now to add it to the never ending RPG backlog...

So I  am finally going to post my garage sale finds from the weekend (mainly because its my best score ever) but I'm not going to spend the time writing everything down so just pictures so without further ado. (if I can figure this out...)











This last picture was the only ones I actually bought from a store and I got the tomba 2 (disc only) for $25 because I know the owner of my local retro shop. That and I also got a few duplicate ps1 games that I traded in to almost break even of these. I spent a total of $120 bucks at yard sales and only $3.xx at the store so I am super happy about last week.

Oh and I also got a non-sound non-backlight game gear in mint condition for free from someone who was just about to throw it out. not pictured because I gave to my brother to hopefully fix like he did my other one.

Also a silver Gameboy sp that I gave to my 4 year old nephew with a couple shovel ware games I bought for him for a few bucks
