It's funny how flea markets work nowadays. Years ago, they seemed to get regular stock, but nowadays they tend to not have games for long periods of time, only to *suddenly* get a large influx. It really makes bargain-hunting an unpredictable practice. :/

Status update. The guys said the SNES they found was totally fried. The local retro store said they'd charge 40 for a replacement console since I have all of the hookups. Can't find it cheaper anywhere else. So it's a win-loss. I got a bunch of games but can't play them for a bit.

I know it's probably blasphemy against the purpose of this site but I don't have enough space to case the games so they'll just hafta sit and look pretty on the shelf where my PS1 CD cases used to be (got so many games that it took up a full shelf plus another quarter of the same shelf doubled in front).

If anyone was curious as to the condition of these finds, the PS2 games were all CIB (Medal of Honor: Rising Sun had a GameStop sticker). The SNES carts are all in good or new condition. The GameBoy is yellowed slightly and has definite signs of wear but nothing serious. All in all I'm very happy with this purchase.

Except for the fact that I don't have an SNES :'(

AO007:
Even with having to pay $40 for the SNES, you're still saving money. And like I mentioned, after you sell off the crap, you'll be close to the original $35 price point so it'll all work out in the end. ;D

Umbra:
I don't know if I'd make 435 with filler games but I'll see what eBay does.

I went to a local flea market called Trader's Village on the 2nd, and it sucked big time. Outdoors with terrible heat, so many dealers of the same things, and only 5 or so had any games at all. Of those who did, those who sold NES games wanted $10 or $15 each. For that kind of crap, I'm better off at a used video store.
