While flea market shopping last Sunday with a friend was telling him about how Ive been looking for a working game gear, and how all the ones Ive been finding are broken in some way.
He said he had one sitting in his basement that I can have. He gave it to me this week, and it was a bit more than I expected.
Came with the game gear
Game gear travel case
Game Gear TV Tuner
Game Gear Magnifying Glass (forget the official name)
Original Paperwork,
6 Games, and 5 Instruction books.
Games: Quiz Wiz Movie Trivia
Sonic The Hedgehog

and Choplifter III
Then Friday went to Gamestop for their buy 2 get 1 free on used games.
Picked up all GBA:
Pinball of the Dead
Tactics Ogre (for some reason after reading the GBA Bootleg thread, I think this may be a bootleg, label is a little blurry and game froze 3 times on me already)
Shaman King
Final Fantasy V
Lunar Legend
Rebelstar Tactical Command
Shining Soul
Eye of the Beholder
King of Fighters EX-NEO Blood
CIMA: The Enemy
River City Ransom
Sword of Mana
Phantasy Star Collection
All of this ran me about $38 and some change.
After this came Sunday and it was time for the flea markets.
Had to go to a motocross tournament to see my GFs brother compete at 8am so I only had about 1/2 hour at this huge flea market, sadly I only got to see about 1/2 of the flea market, and was either lucky that I picked up all that I did, or maybe there was a lot more people selling games and I missed some other big finds.
Either way I picked up the following:
PS2 all CIB:
Baulders Gate Dark Alliance
Devil May Cry 2
Red Faction II
Medal of Honor Rising Sun
GT3: A-spec
PS1 all CIB:
Need for Speed III
Cool Boarders 2
Rampage World Tour
Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2
and Driver
Also Picked up the GTA San Andreas Strategy Guide
Everything was $1 each, got 10 games and they gave me the Strategy Guide for free.
Next I picked up Super Pitfall for the NES. I saw all of these Nintendo games and started looking through them unaware that he was a pro video game seller only selling video games. When I asked how much he said $10, I said no thank you, then went to $5. I still said no thank you and then he asked how much I wanted to pay for it. I told him I just come to these to find really cheap games and he didnt want to know what I wanted to pay for it. So he said how about you give me a dollar for it.
I said ok, maybe should have seen if he would have given me the other nes games he had that I needed for $1 too but he was making me feel a bit strange so I just walked.
Last place I got to stop before we had to leave I saw some great games,
Picked up
BattleClash & Super Smash TV for the SNES, basically new in box but not wrapped.
Never seen boxes in the great of condition.
Also Picked up Fear Effect, also in pristine condition.
We were in such a rush thank god he showed me the find of the month for me.
I was about to pay for these 3 games and he said check this out, would this be something you would be interesed in.
It was a brand new Intellivision. Box in pristine condition. He said he just opened it to display to sell. Everything still shrink wrapped, all of the paperwork, and 2 games also new looking but opened. Major League Baseball, and Poker & Blackjack.
Picked up the 2snes games, 1 ps game, 2 intellivision games and system all for $25.
Now the BIG question... leave the system sealed and keep looking for a used system to play, or bust this bad boy open and have some fun. Still havent decided.
Another nice week of collecting.
First yard sale of the day got me 6 PS2 games for $10.
Bad Boys, Hitman Contracts, Nightmare Before Christmas, True Crime LA in the NYC Box, God of War, and Ratchet & Clank.
After this went to the flea markets.
There were so many people there selling video games this time, most of these games came from different stands.
Managed to snag:
Mario Nintendo DS Case: $1
Civilization Revolution Xbox 360: $5
Mega Man 4, Bubble Bobble, Ikari III for the NES at $3 Each
Donkey Kong & Pac Man: 2 for $5
Fighting Force 2 PS1: $1
Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition, Bloody Roar 4 for PS2: $2 each
Destroy all Humans 2 Xbox: $2
also picked up some Game boy, and GBA games 5 for $10.
Was very excited about this because I never seem to find portable game cartridges outside of game shops and pawn shops.
Got: Fist of the North Star Game Boy, Metal Walker GBColor, Street Racing Syndicate GBA, MedaBots GBA, and Fire Pro Wrestling GBA.
Also Picked up a Genesis Game Genie: $2
After this I went to Gamestop where I purchased The Guy Game Disk Only, Romance of the Three Kingdoms IX CIB, and Dai Senkyaku VII CIB for a bit over $15.
Also got GTA Episodes, and a 120GB HD for the 360 for free for helping a friend out over the weekend.
Thought this deserved its own picture... at the second flea market of the day I usually dont find much because its already getting late and everything is pretty much picked over, but I found this Oddyssey 300 in almost new condition with the original box and some paperwork, which came with the old tv and the rf switch. I have been having bad luck with purchasing systems lately, (bought a broken Game Gear, and a still not working Atari 2600 over the past few weeks) so I almost passed this off... but I have never seen one of these even at the video game shops, let alone in the box sitting at a flea market... Was marked $30, picked it up for $20. Everything works perfectly, was playing pong with the GF all night.
Well I have decided that I purchase a lot more video games each week than just at the flea markets. (That, and it poured and there were tornado warnings all weekend... so there were no flea markets)
So I am going to make this my weekly update of things added to my collection throughout the week.

And would also like to thank Tynstar for the following Strategy Guides added to my collection.
Was a great week in adding to my collection, hopefully next week will be just as good.
Went to the flea market this sunday thinking they may not even have it due to a holiday weekend, but it was the largest one yet.
Picked up a few nice finds.
First Place I picked up 5 playstation games for $1 each, all CIB.
Wheel of Fortune 2nd Edition, Shrek Treasure Hunt, NHL 2 on 2 Open Ice Challenge, Power Rangers, and Namco Museum Vol. 2.
Next found the MGS Strategy Guide, and Luminous Art Book, $3. along with the 2 CIB game gear games which were $1 each.
Last find was a great one, the Atari with 2 joysticks, and 19 games sitting in a box marked $40. I was looking through it and talking to my friend saying I always wanted one but didnt want to spend that much... I guess the guy heard me and said he would take $20.
I agreed, but got home and realized its missing the power supply
Does anyone know if there is a generic supply I can use or if I am going to have to buy an expensive one off of ebay?
Back again for week 6 of my flea market finds.
Not too many people there this week since they were forecasting rain, but still found a few things.
First place I picked up a Gamegear, charger plug, and an official battery pack, and an unofficial one also. Also came with 4 games: Sonic Triple Trouble, Ren & Stimpy Quest for the Shaven Yak, The Majors Pro Baseball, and Super Columns.
Got this for $10.
However when I got home, I tried to power it up and it turns on, and then shuts off about 1-5 seconds later. I have it taken apart but have no idea what I am looking for, any help greatly appreciated!!!
Second score of the day was a Sega 32x complete in box with everything still wrapped in its original packing, looks brand new, included all of the paperwork and flyers, and ads that come with it also.
Got this for $7. Now I just need to get some 32x games.
Thats about it for this week, nothing major, but very excited about the 32x.
Went to visit the wife's sister a few hours away this weekend and went to a huge flea market by their house.
It was a little different than what I was used to, there were different building with many different people selling new and old things. Most of them looked like they were dealers of antiques. Saw a few electronic places but they all knew what they had and were overcharging for everything I picked up.
There were a total of 3 dealers selling games inside all overpriced, and I was getting very disappointed.
After we walked through all of the buildings I saw that there was a huge outdoor section in the back, and it all looked like local people selling things out of their garage. Exactly what I was looking for.
First place I stopped they had a huge assortment of video games from many different systems. When I asked how much, he said everything was $5 no more no less.
After picking through many overpriced sports titles, I managed to pick up
NES: Double Dragon II (CIB), and XEXYZ (CIB)
N64: War Gods (CIB), and Dark Rift (CIB)
PS1: Grand Theft Auto (CIB+Map), Command & Conquer (CB), and Illusion of Legaia (CIB).
Second stop also had an assortment of video games.
Managed to pick these up for $2 each.
Xbox: Roller Coaster Tycoon (CB), Pump it Up (CIB), and Spy vs Spy (CIB).
PS1: Cyber Tiger (CIB)
NES: Magic Johnsons Fast Break
Last place I also managed to pick up an assortment of games for $2 each also.
PS2: Legend of Alon'Dar (CIB), GTA San Andreas (CIB)
Xbox: Destroy all Humans (CIB), Star Wars Episode III (CIB), and Sims Bustin Out (CB)
PS1: Grid Runner (CIB), 40 Winks (CIB), Dracula The Last Sanctuary (CIB), and Star Wars Rebel Assault II (CIB)
I also picked up a few 80's horror movies on vhs that were never re-released on dvd for $.50 a piece. My other passion besides video games are collecting and enjoying 80s horror.
Compared to the past few weekends, I didnt really pick up anything huge this time. My wallet thanks me for that.
This week also marks the first time I ever unknowingly purchased a game I already owned (Soviet Strike).
I guess it's time to start carrying around a sheet with games I already own.
I purchased all of these games from one person, 2 were marked $1, when asked about the others they said everything video game related was $1.
All games came complete, and all strategy guides are in excellent condition.
Next weekend I am going to see the wifes sister and they are taking me to supposedly a HUGE flea market and auction on Sunday, so hopefully I pick up some nice finds.
Well I am about fully unpacked and moved into the new house.
There is so much work to do to the house before I start really working on the mancave, but for now this is the layout.
I eventually want to paint the walls and put down either wooden flooring or a penny pattern floor.
Its really hard to take a full picture of the room, so I took a few different pics.
This is about 1/2 way into the room on the right side.
This is about 1/2 way into the room on the left side.
TV & System setup, as you can see most wires still arent hooked up.
This is about 1/2 way into the room looking back to the left side.
This is about 1/2 way into the room looking back to the right side.
In this picture the stairs are on the left and on the right is the graphic design desk.
The Nintendo Collection, In the process of cutting wood paneling to put behind the shelf (So people dont knock the games off the shelf and they go flying down the stairs behind them)
Dreamcast Collection, Jaguar Collection, some SNES, and some 64 games.
PS2, Gamecube, and XBox Collection.
PS1 Collection.
360 Collection.

And finally COD Modern Warfare 2 for $20.
I purchased MW2 off of an angry young girl selling off all of her boyfriends things, I was laughing so hard, but then felt bad for buying it... this guy is going to be pissed. But if I didnt, someone else definitely would have.
Well there was no update last week because I finally took a vacation to Cancun... what a blast that was, but that is another story.
This week I woke up very early and hit up the big flea market in my area, and then picked up a few friends and drove to the TooManyGames expo.
Found a few great deals at the flea market.
First stop I purchased 10 nintendo games with the holder.
Was asking $2 each, I purchased them all for $10.
Received: Skate or Die, R.C. ProAM, Rad Racer, Othello, Marble Madness, 1942, Top Gun, John Elways Quarterback, TMNT Arcade Game, Spy Hunter.
From another stand picked up the Final Fantasy XII strategy guide for $2. Can anyone shed any light why it says "Not For Sale" on the back though? So I am not entirely sure.
Another Pickup was Frogger 2 and Crash 2 Mint In Box, and Pac Man World CIB for $3 Each.
Last Pickup of the flea market was Mega Man X4 for the PS1 in a Sega Rally Case, NHL 99 CIB, VR Gold 97 CIB, Boxing CIB, Powerboat Racing CIB, Wild 9 Disk Only, and Dark Stone CIB all for $5.
After this was the TooManyGames Expo.
I probably wont be going back to that next year. I honestly dont feel it was even worth the 2 hour drive it took me to get there.
The expo was 1 medium sized room. In that room there were about 7 different places selling all sorts of video games from every system, one had imports. 5 out of the 7 places the prices were extremely overpriced, even what I could purchase a copy off ebay for. (I am a cheapassgamer at heart and will never pay retail for a game)
One of the places had decent prices, and 1 had good prices.
There were a few vendors selling shirts, a video game art stand (which was very cool), and a place selling food.... hot dogs and cookies lol.
On the other size of the room they had about 10 tvs hooked up to 10 different systems you could try out, and a few tournaments starting up.
There was also a dance club type room where they were playing techno remixes of old nintendo tunes... but everybody was just standing around, and there were about 5 people dressed like star wars characters on the dance floor playing light saber.
Was kind of just expecting everything to be bigger and better. Brought $500 with me looking to spend and only spent $70... oh well.
Here is the merchandise:
For the Gamecube I purchased Bomberman Generation and Metroid Prime for $5 each, CIB.
For the Xbox I purchased Doom 3 and Munch's Oddysee for $5 each, CIB.
For the NES I purchased Shigen the Ruler, The Ultimate Stuntman, and Caveman Games, all 3 for $10.
I also Purchased Zelda for the SNES CIB with everything it originally included for $35. I was most excited about this purchase. Speaking of an example of the prices, this same game at a different stand they wanted $75 for.
The last purchase is while I was talking to the artist selling video game art for quite awhile and while I was leaving he said he brought a few games to sell and asked if i wanted to check them out, I said definitely and he sold me SNES: Super Mario World, Super Mario All Stars, Aladdin, StarFox, N64: Diddy Kong Racing, and Jaguar: Iron Soldier. 6 games for $5. Sweet.
The Enchanted Arms Special Edition I purchased at the Gamestop by the Airport after getting back from Cancun for a little under $10.
This is my first entry, but I am going to try to make this a weekly thing.
There are two big flea markets around my area that open every Sunday.
There are always different people selling their old merchandise.
Here is what I found this week.
As soon as I went to the first person at the flea market, I picked up my first score.
3 Strategy Guides, and an Art Book. Final Fantasy VII, Fable, Final Fantasy X,
and Final Fantasy XII Art Book. ($4.00)
The second score was a little later, after thinking the guides may be my only
pick up of the day. Someone had a giant box that said everything $1.00, I was going to just
keep going, but I saw a few cd cases peeking out, so I decided to stop.
Im glad I did.
Picked up:
Playstation: Tekken (with case and back art), Theme Park (with case & back art), D (disk only).
Sega Cd: Kids on Site (New Still Sealed), Jeopardy (New Still Sealed), Who Shot Johnny Rock? (CIB), Cliffhanger (New Still Sealed), Sol Feace (CB), Sewer Shark (Disk and front of instructions).
Sega Genesis: Hardball (CIB), Power Plug (CIB)
SNES: Madden 96, (Instructions, 2 posters, and other paperwork)
Sega Gamegear: Sonic 2 (New Still Sealed)
and 7 random instruction booklets laying in the bottom.
Picked it all up for $10.
Found these in the Harball Case, 10 video game cards. Thought they were cool and never saw them before.
After the flea market, stopped at a local game store, traded in 20 DVDs I no longer watch, and got:
N64: Doom 64, NES: Tombs and Treasure, A Boy and His Blob, SNES: Street Fighter II, Eye of the Beholder, and Sim City, PS2: Tatio Legends 2, and D1 Drifting GP.
And thats this weekends wrap-up.
Hopefully have more to report next weekend.
