Misleading title, I know. However this was a pretty epic score my brother found at a yard sale for 10 bucks. He called me and started listing the games and I thought he was messing with me. Happy to have a minty Mr. Do! finally, also the Earthbound is a nice bonus.

I need to go to more yard sales.


I'm not a bad enough dude, but I am an edgy little shit. I'll do what I can.

Nice. Aren't Earthbound carts supposed to be a pain to find for a decent price?


So here's to you Mrs. Robinson. People love you more- oh, nevermind.

Lol, I NEVER find stuff like this either, and I look a lot. My brother however goes strolling through his neighborhood and stumbles into this on his first try. What wasn't shipped to me was the CIB N64 and Genesis that he also got with this deal, he kept those for his kids. He was really happy because he gave away my Earthbound back in the day and I always harassed him about that.

If I saw that for $10 I'd get 2.

Maybe 3.

But that would be it.

Damn, you even got Earthbound? I'm jealous. Razz

On a side note, Super Bonk is an awesome game. I've played the crap out of it as a kid.

And here I was hoping for some STD-related joke.

Nice find man, congrats!

That is an awesome score.

On a related note, I went to Reno back in 2001 when I was up in Tahoe for a wedding and visited a few pawn shops that had a lot of hard to find video games for really, really cheap prices at the time.

Also, I come across tons of video game related stuff when I go to yard/garage sales here on Long Island, and usually the stuff is being sold for cheap. I picked up a mint condition NES in the box (opened) and about 50 games for 15 bucks not too long ago.

Persistence is the key when it comes to finding games... and getting there early.

There are foolish saps on E-bay willing to pay 40 times what you did for the Earthbound cartridge. Well done!

Hey, I am one of those, but that is only because it is the only way for me to get that dam game!

I'm going to use the awesomeness of this deal to pimp my own good, but not quite as awesome deal. Picked up this box for $20. I'm most excited about Metal Warriors and the DKC games.

EDIT: I realized I did a shitty job with the sizing.
