Conman

$20 at a local game store for this minor haul. Nothing special, but filling in collection holes.

Grand Theft Lifeline

About $15 total for this lot, mostly from a local game store using trade credit. BUT, Lifeline and GTA Trilogy were flea market finds, just $.50 each. Sound of Thunder GBA was a great find too in a clearance bin for only $4.

Open Ice and Open Sky(landers)

Birthday haul! Didn’t pay a penny for any of this, and got to shrink the Game Gear list even further. Less than 40 games to go for a complete set.

As for these Skylanders, they were free from a garage sale. Must be 30-40 figures and multiple portals. That was a great find.

Coleco No

Ignoring my lack of a Colecovision console, the price on those Colecovision games was too good to pass on. Actually, the price on the whole stack wasn’t bad: $10 for everything, thanks to sizable trade-in credit.

Hand Holding

A multi day, multi place find. The epic handhelds came from a garage sale. $15 for the whole lot, which was a steal.

These other games came from a local game store. $30 for the lot after trade-in.

Wonder Duo

Overpriced or not, it’s rare to see any Turbo Duo game in the wild, so sure, this Wonder Boy import for $15 seemed like a deal. $40 for the whole stack from an out of town game store, which includes that hard to find Tecmo Bowl for the PS1.

Always. Ask.

Every garage sale: Ask for videogames. Doesn’t matter what they have out. Ask. Once in a while, you get the, “I have some Nintendo games in the attic” response, and it leads to this $15 deal.

Flea Market Skip

When a flea market an hour away turns up… nothing, search Google for local game stores. That led to this $40 grab which plugs some minor holes.

Out of Town Visitor

Out of state I went to score this haul from thrift and game stores. About $115 total, but that’s primarily due to paying up for Metal Masters and Iron Man, the latter of which draws me closer to a complete US Game Gear set. And, having never seen Metal Masters in person, this was the time to make it happen.

It Has Begun!

Probably the best start to garage sale season in a decade. Whole stack was a mere $2 each. Need most of them for the collection, but Mario Golf and the black label Metal Gear will recoup my spending on their own.
