Don't know why that guy was selling what seemed like an entire collection, but I was glad he did

Right? He had really good prices on his stuff and on top of that he asked me to offer him a lower price.

Mick Dundee:
My brother in-law came by with my mother in-law to drop off my kid. He snagged aome atuff for me while yard saling.

Kingdom Hearts 2 hint book .50¢
and these:

for $3.00

Since he spent less than $5 on me he didn't want any money in return.

My Father in-law returned home with Star Ocean Second Story (PS1) near mint shape, complete. He paid $3. He let me take the better condition for myself.
He also got 3 PS2 games for $1 each. They will become replacement cases for me. Mummy Dragon Emperor, Crazy Frog and Bionicle.

Lambadelta:
Got some Touhou Project games cheaply ($15 ea) and they are on their way. I also picked up a First Release edition of a PS Vita game. I really hate waiting so I always pay for the expensive delivery options >.< my wallet hates me.

Bear78:
I had a hell of a day at the flea market.

I didn't get a steal on EarthBound but I got a good deal on it. I paid $125 so I think I did pretty good as the cart is in pretty nice shape and the contacts are clean. Fired it up and it worked with no problems and the save works too. The seller said he might have the box somewhere (doubt he has the guide) so he said he will see if he can find it for me.

So I spent a good amount of money on a game and was feeling like I need to cut my spending for the day... then among some crappy sports games and common everyday PS2 titles I find a CIB copy of Rule of Rose. Disc is kind of rough but it works fine and I could always get it buffed if I really needed to. cost me $2.

Azarkhel:

Not the best photos, (camera phone!) but I managed to snag a killer TV over the weekend. 1987 Sony KV-C27 made in West Germany, picture had a few tiny niggles but a couple of magnets stuck on the back of the tube in the right places and now it's almost perfect. Seriously the convergence on this thing is insanely good, especially considering the age. Just need to find a good compromise with the overscan for the various consoles i'll be running on it then I can close it back up. The case needs a couple of cracks fixed and a few spots of paint but nothing that's beyond me.

Wish I could get some good shots of it, this thing blows me away every time I turn it on. 6th CRT i've had in the last 6 months.
