Hmph, yellows that here are no garage sales, and only few flea markaets that have games,
Went yard saling last Saturday from 8-3....almost NO GAMES all day. 2nd to last stop a lady had a smoke/clear N64 with cables No controllers, no games and about 25-30 Genesis games all in boxes with manuals, Sega Genesis cleaning kit and game genie.

Talked her down from $15 to $10 for the lot of it....sadly....no RPG games...so everything but the genie and cleaning kit are going to PNT next time I'm in that area

Asterix and the Great Rescue - Manual is missing outer sheet leaving only the "guts" JUST NOTICED THE CASE, and ARTWORK have been damaged because wherever this was purchased cut/ripped it so that it could not be scanned and put their bar code sticker over the mark/cut/hole/whathaveyou

Animaniacs - Manual is slightly worn with some corner folding

Barkley: Shut up and Jam! - whole thing almost looks brand new

Batman Forever - Manual is a bit worn from age primarily

Cosmic Spacehead - Manual is worn and a bit dirty (what an interesting shaped cartridge though!)

Desert Demolition (loony Tunes) - this one is cardboard and an ex-rental...lots of unnecessary stickers

Desert Strike - all in decent shape

Eternal Champions - manual is in ok shape with folding on upper right corners.

Grind Stormer - All looks good. 1 of the 2 tabs that hold the manual is broken/missing

Jeopardy: Sports Edition - Almost Looks new

Jurrasic park Rampage Edition - Cardboard box shows age much like Desert demolition but not an ex-rental

Kid Chameleon - NO MANUAL with this one

Lemmings 2: The Tribes - looks almost brand new

Madden 95 - cart label is a little worn otherwise nice shape

Marko - nice shape Looks new

Mortal Kombat - Manual is beat up but not falling apart or anything

Mortal Kombat 2 - Manual is in pretty bad shape, case is worn and doesn't shut

NBA Jam - Manual is slightly worn

NBA Jam TE - NO MANUAL

Puggsy - everything good shape.

Shinobi III - Looks good, manual isnt bad, but does have some light creasing on the cover

Sonic Spinball - all good shape

Street Fighter II Special Champion Edition - manual is very worn and falling apart. All pages seem present but middle ones have fallen out from the staple not holding any longer

Streets of Rage 2 - Manual is pretty beat up but in tact. Case looks a bit rough too.

Taz Escape From Mars - old B&W manual looks worn

Tecmo Superbowl - worn manual

ToeJam & Earl - NO MANUAL

Turtles Hyperstone Heist - All there and in good shape

TaleSpin - manual is slightly worn

Valis III - Manual shows wear but nothing too bad

WWF Royal Rumble - manual is a bit ratty

Wiz 'N' Liz - all in good shape

 and Primal Rage - Cartridge only with Ratty ugly ass black and white manual in a clear VHS rental box.

****Good condition would be normal wear for something of its age but all intact or complete ****

Many interesting games.

Actually being ex-Nintendo fanboy, I'm pretty much missing all of those.

PM me how much for THE WHOLE lot.

It would probably be WAY more than its worth to send to you because of the shipping. Finland is a bit a ways away...though my wifes favorite hockey goalie is from there.

I'm in NYC shipping shouldn't be much :D

If you're gonna get rid of toejam and earl, wwf royal rumble, streets of rage 2 and valis, shoot me a price. I'll be willing to take em off your hands.

seeing as my genesis is somewhere in a container buried in my shed and I have yet to test any of these....I think I will bring them to PnT instead of taking that 1 in a well...i dunno the odds but i know they exist....anyway that one or more of the games don't work or are not quite what anyone wants.

 They should have no problem more than doubling what I paid for the box even with the few things I kept for myself.

Congrats on that pick up, Mike.  I can't believe you got all those games for that price, it really is a steal.  8)

The best I found today was a Genesis "Marvel Land" and NES "Thundercade".  Pretty bad.

Boston Bruin's Tuukka Rask . . . . . though he has gotten NO play time with Tim Thomas being as good as he is.

I figured I could resell them and get more than what I paid so i snagged them up. I just hope Play N Trade has something I actually want in stock.
 My deciding to be more picky about what games to buy/keep for myself has left me unable to find much in stores unless I go with the new games, and I am a very cheap person.
