Ps1 with Coax AV instead of the standard, 2 Dualshock controllers (Gray & Blue), no name blue memory card, mega man x4 inside.
all in the retail system box....bit beat up though.

 The lot of it will end up at Play N Trade, forgot that I wanted a PS1 with removable expansion bay on the back.

What go inside the ex bay?

I use it for my external MOD chip.

Had a bit of luck today at Goodwill.
Found a near mint copy of 'PaRappa The Rapper' (PSOne) for $1.99, 'Mario Golf' (N64) and 'Pokemon Colosseum' (N64) for $0.99 each. But the big surprize was I picked up a PSOne for $4.99 and inside was a copy of 'Bust a Groove'. :D

I love when that type of thing happens. That's how I got my second copy of Smash Bros Melee. :)

Last weekend I was in Villa Rica, about 40 minutes away from Atlanta in Georgia, and I went to a game store there that had lots of retro material to be had.  I bought a black gen 1 Game Boy Pocket there for $15, not bad.  Then I went to a flea market in Bremen which was about 15 minutes away from Villa Rica, and I nabbed TMNT: Fall of the Footclan ($3), Pokemon Blue ($8), Pokemon Silver ($10), a teal Game Boy Color ($12) and a Pokemon R/B/Y strategy guide ($10) there.  Too bad the save batteries in the Pokemon games are dead.. ugh they'll have to be replaced.

Came across a few great deals this weekend at various yard sales/flea markets:

Atari 2600 Heavy 6-er - $20
Came with around 18 games, the controllers, and the power adapter. Picked up a coaxial to RCA at radio shack for $3.00 to go with it.

Around 10-15 various 2600 carts - .50 cents a piece.

NES games (all loose carts):

At one yardsale picked up:
G.I. Joe: The Atlantis Factor - $1
WCW World Championship Wrestling - $1
Snake Rattle & Roll - $1

At the flea market:
Robo Warrior - $1.50
Kid Nikki Radical Ninja - $1.50
P.O.W. Prisoners of War - $1.50
Dash Galaxy in the Alien Asylum - $1.50
Time Lord - $1.50
Platoon - $1.50
Stinger - $1.50

And now we start getting to the really good stuff:

SNES - Captain Novolin Complete in Box for $15. Looks almost brand new aside from a little normal wear on the edges of the box.

NES - Sunday Funday: The Ride (Black Cart) - $2.50
NES - Bible Buffet (Black Cart) - $2.50
NES - Bible Adventures (Blue Cart) - $2.50

Came across a yardsale towards the end of the day today, and really didn't see anything aside from a couple of books we ended up buying, but as we were leaving I noticed a big box down on the ground with a Sega Saturn Nights Sampler Disc on top. When I saw there was a console inside I didn't even look what all was inside until I got home a few hours ago:

Sega Saturn console
3 x controllers
AV hookups/Power adapter

Daytona USA
Virtual Fighter 2
Virtua Cop
Madden NFL '97
World Series Baseball II
Winter Heat
Virtual Open Tennis
Virtual On: Cyber Troopers
Nights Into Dreams
Herc's Adventure

All complete in box for the whopping sum of $5.00.

Needless to say, today was a good day for yard-saling.  ;D

Father in law came home today and gave me a KFC take out bag with a Genesis and a bunch of games in it.  Didn't say how much he paid, but its technically free to me.   

System and a few games went to friend, rest to P&T to add to the credit, if it gets to be enough Im going to put it towards a Vita.

 I was happiest about a random copy of Super Mario Kart being in the bag (needed that one but wasn't seeking it out)

not a garage sale - but a bargain nonetheless.

just got back from local supermarket who were selling brand new unopened DJ Hero 2 all formats for 20 euro each.  Box includes DJ Hero 1 & 2 games, and turntable.   Grabbed one each of the PS3 and Wii versions.  Held back on the 360.

Finishing it isn't tough at all but completing all tracks is extremly tough (especially the last few ones)!!!! If you wanna 5 star everything then it is a hell ova job to do!

I loved the game so much more than the Guitar Hero stuff, don't ask me why. Haven't played the second one though.
