And the common sense (=method) was what?

Annd good night, must wake up in 4 hours.

I'll test it a bit more on other stickers. If all is successful (no failed attempts) then we have a method. I am wondering if it will work on older price tags. I will go buy a box with some stickers (I know I can get one at a local shop; Lemmings USA box has a sticker.) I'll try first, then discuss  ;)

Good night, my Friend. Sleep well. Scans will be coming soon.

I'll be going to bed too. long day. I'll scan tomorrow. I have the day to myself.

Screw megaman, I'm wondering how he got a copy of elder scrolls online as a snes game in the top right (Ok ok, I know it's wizadry)

Also, asking what color someone's wii is is very personal.

Went to a Bi-Annual flea Market and was pretty let down with the exception of 1 booth.
  A woman set behind the pallet tables covered with bins full of that wonderful Gray plastic we can all spot a mile away by now.

 Instantly my eye caught Soul Blazer which was marked at $40. The back was cracked so I tried to haggle. I offered $30, She countered with $35. I asked if she'd go $35 and throw in a cheapo SNES game.

 Walked away spending $35 and getting Soul Blazer and George Forman's KO Boxing

Just scored a sweet bundle from my local second hand store:

For 10 each:

- Mario Kart Wii
- Super Mario All Stars Wii
- Mario Party 8
- Super Mario Galaxy 2

For an eBay value of: 170 or so. Not bad for a 40 dollar lay out.

I'll use my first post here to show my new game pick-up! Not a steal by any means but still, a very good deal! I went to the flea market this morning, looked at the new games some re-sellers had(Pretty much all overpriced commons) and came across THIS for $50. Now, at the time I did know this was an expensive game but I was put off by the lack of manual/insert so I passed on it(yes...). I went home and looked up its value(loose) on pricecharting.com... I was surprised to see these normally go for $90-100. Needless to say, I went back AND offered him even lower($45), which he accepted! Now, he did tell me he believed this was a rare game but my guess is he thought this was the first game. Always great to catch a reseller slipping, isn't it? :P



I then printed a cover/insert to display it on a shelf. Thanks Cover Project! :D

Sweet deal on the S uikoden II.  One of only about a dozen games I want before I have everything wanted for my collection.

My newest pickups ->







Those didn't come cheap but homecart stuff especially the more rare ones never do.
As I have some of those already but the seller prefered to sell as a lot some will be up for sale soon.

Finally I have Ninja Commando and Magical Drop 3 as well as Aerofighters 2 in my homecart collection as US/Euro versions. Was looking for those for ages!!!
Super Dodge Ball is the extremly rare !Arcade! conversion with gold foiled insert and manual and made of all new parts! This was a very limited release back in the days.

I don't even know how much you paid for these games. My guess is an arm and a leg  :)
