Got to hit our local Paris Flea Market yesterday.
Saw (and passed on) a few good systems, boxed PS2 for $25, Xbox for $30, and a Gamecube for $25. All were complete and good prices for just starting out.

Saw the proverbial NES system with six VERY common games for $60, and a copy of SMB\Duck Hunt for $10. :roll:

BUT, I did snag an ALMOST complete boxed SNES Superscope for $8! All that is missing is the eye piece!
Found Paperboy for the Sega Genesis for $1, then four NES titles for a couple bucks each, Little Nemo, Zanac, Vega Dreams, and Boulder Dash.

Not a bad weekend.

A quick trip to the fleas yesterday netted me a couple of goodies, found Super Alfred Chicken for the SNES, $1.99.
Best deal was a EA Sports edition Sega Dreamcast with matching controller, VMU, and rumble pack for $12.00!

Saw a ton of "good" deals but nothing new for me.

For me it was the Color Computer 2 way back in 1986. A cassette drive and no floppy drive. That lasted about a month when I ran across a deal on a C64, Indus GT, and a ton of floppies. From there it was on! :-D

Hit a couple of thrifts this weekend:

Two PS1 memory cards for $.75 each.

GameBoy Games for $2.5 each:
Donkey Kong Land 2
Frogger
Battleship

Sega Genesis games for $1 each:
6-Pack
Street Fighter Special Championship Edition

God of War II two disk set for $4.
Prince of Persia for the SNES for $3.

A first gen Nintendo DS with original stylus, soft case and car charger for $25.
Went to a local used game store and bought a DS game, they threw in a wall charger for free. It pays to shop there often and establish a good friendship!
SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL GAME STORE!
