The Small Scores Thread: Part 2!

[GamerNick]

Hey everyone Picked up this stuff today in Kansas City today on a overnight road trip. We hit up a few Vintage Stocks today and tomorrow a few more and a flea market possibly.  I know it's kind of soon since my last score but here are some amazing finds




*That Super Mario All-Stars is practically brand new it is 100% Complete in Box




Lots of PS1 Goodies Especially a $50.00 Mega Man Legends 2 - Mint

[Razor Knuckles]

Your a machine!!!

[techwizard]

wow did you win the lottery? i wish i could afford to get so many games all at once

[RetroRage]

Good lord nick has just taken over the thread.   Imagine if he had donated $20 during the donation drive

[GamerNick]

Lol I would of donated like $300 if I got my scholarship money earlier

[RetroRage]

At least we know you're spending your money wisely.

So yesterday i had some flowers sent to my fiance's work place for Valentines Day, and this morning when i woke up i saw this sitting on the table



Best Valentines day ever.

Good lord Nick, you probably bought more games in the last week than I have total! Sadly, there are VERY FEW game stores in my area that carry anything older than DS at this point. There's one Play N Trade about 20 minutes from my house, everything else is over an hour away. Garage sales aren't big in my area to find games at (I live in an area that has A LOT of 55+ communities) and even when it gets nicer out the few flea markets aren't great. Thrift store pickings are slim as well, though I did have a nice haul the other day. I'm going to make a habit of going out weekly to those at least.

If anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear them. It seems to me I just live in a crappy area for random scores like these.

Good God, Man.  I guess I have seen this many games before at thrift stores but I never have the money to pick them all up at once. At least I am glad to see these going to someone who is passionate about collecting and video games, and not some person who is doing it for just the dolla' bills.

Great work Nick

Nick, you are spending too much. I'm just going to have to confiscate some of that stuff. Drop it off at the shop whenever.

Buying online and trading with other collectors on message boards like these would be your best option.  It's the quickest and most efficient way to buy sell and trade really.  Sell a few games, buy a couple lots, keep what you need and sell the rest.  Get that self sustaining collection going so you never really have to spend much money growing your collection.  Online baby.

Keep an eye on Craigslist, Buying in bulk online and trading with some great members on here or even buying in bulk from them even if it's just filler titles.  I don't have much in the way of games on my FS/FT thread yet but I do have some stuff on there let me know and I can cut you a nice deal on anything you want.

Haha today (being Friday) is probably my last day of shopping for a while But I still have to sort through some stuff for you and pick up that Primal Rage.  So I will be Saturday to pick that up and maybe some other stuff

Thanks Fokakis! Yes pure passion for collecting in my blood, before video games it was baseball cards I have over a million and that's no lie.
