Well this is a little late, but better late than never huh.
So, 2009 was a very interesting year for me. I finally got weekends off at work, so I thought that I would be going to alot of yard sales and flea markets. But unfortunatly that was not the case, as my money was going to other things, and my weekends were spent on having quality time with my wife and kids. So most of my finds were from craigslist. And although I didn't have very many scores, most of them were quality scores.
My first score of the year was from Craigslist, they had a bunch of gameboy and gba games for 3.00 a piece. So here is what I picked up.
My second score was actually given to me for free. He told me to keep what I needed and sell the rest on Ebay for him. So I kept the CIB games, Controller, and system box. and sold the rest of it for him.
My third score was my best score ever. A guy posted an ad on craigslist for boxed Nintendo games, he had 88 total games and I got 63 of them. They were minty fresh and all CIB. The first 10 I got for 5.00 a piece, the rest were 4.00 a piece.
My next few scores were OK. Nothing too exciting. Double Dragon (PC) was at goodwill for I think 3.00. The three playstation games were 2.00 a piece.
My next score came from craigslist, and I was extremely happy to get Chiller CIB. I got these for 3.00 a piece.
The next score came from a church rummage sale. Sealed for 3.00 I think.
Next was my birthday presents from my wife and 2 toddlers.
My next score came from a pawnshop that I used to frequent. But don't really go to that part of the metro area anymore. I think I paid 10.00 total for all three.
Next was a purchase from Tynstar here on RFGeneration.
And last but not least another craigslist ad for a total of 15.00. I drove late at night into the middle of nowhere to get this lot but it was worth the drive just for the Adventure Island 3 CIB.
So like the title said, It was a SLOW but QUALITY or PRODUCTIVE year. I doubled my CIB NES collection in one year.
2010 has started even slower but I believe I will be hitting more yard sales this year.
