-SNES system (all hookups & discoloration)

...all for the low low price of $32...now I picked up all of this at three seperate places so of course I didn't spend a huge amount on say...Madden 2002. After all is said and done those complete SNES games & complete N64 are quite respectable, don't you think?

nice find that mario rpg would go for about what u spent for the whole lot

my yard sale day wasnt as productive but i found stacks of old 1982 83 dungeons and dragons stuff and the ewok adventures movie that is rare as hell to find all for 8 bucks

[cag1000]

wanna sell the mario rpg to me for 5-10 dolla :D

[coolperson03]

Awesome finds! I really need to get a super nintendo. Do you just drive around and look for garage sales or what? How early do you get there?

[rywateska]

...I've got three SNES's now so if your willing to put an offer on one then post it up in my CAG TL in my sig...chances are the discolored one in the picture will be on the list shortly. CAG1000...I'm thinking of actually keeping the Mario RPG & having some fun with it. I got it off a friend and he's convinced me not to turn around and sell it again, so maybe in the future but not for now...and not for $5-10...I read up on where the sales are at and spend a few hours driving around to them...the time I get there depends on the time I wake up. Most garage sales start at 9 but I got all this between 10:30-12:00...

[hiccupleftovers]

Wow not bad at all, pretyt good stuff especially Mario RPG.

[regisphilbi0]

Sweet finds. Especially Super Mario RPG, I loved that game. I do have one question though- why Madden 2002???

[rywateska]

...why Maddn 2002? It was from the guy selling th N64 system, Mario 64, & SNES system discolored...he wanted $2 for the SNES, $25 for the N64/Mario, & $5 for Madden...I talked to him about a stores prices nearby and told him Madden was worth about a dollar and chatted him down to $10 for everything...so I guess the Madden 2002 was just an extra in the whole deal...I'm going to keep it until another trade-in special occurs.

[Trakan]

Definitely good finds.

[DigitalSpace]

Nice finds! Definitely play SMRPG.

[wubb]

That stuff all looks to be in very good condition as well. Sweet.

I had some nice finds myself this weekend, but I think I'd rather have your haul. Although a lot of the fun is in the hunt!

Oh, and do the SNES's discolor a lot or something? I got one this weekend for $7 with a couple games and the bottom looks to have the discoloration, but the top looks to not be discolored. Is that odd? It works, anyway.

[rywateska]

The discoloration comes from sunlight. Why? Because sunlight hates SNES plastic because the SNES plastic picked on the Sun whenever they were little...
Also I need to correct myself, I now own four SNES, anyone looking for one? Hahaha...

[tornadomann]

wow, none of the garage sales i hit up usually have games or ssystems, and if they do they wont budge on price.

[rywateska]

It's kind of dissapointing though, this is the first time I broke the $30 barrier...should've known better than to offer too much!

[yeahokthenfu]

Damn good deals man

[WeaponX2099]

i hate you!! Why can't that happen to me!! Am I that evil? Why! Why!

[rywateska]

i hate you!! Why can't that happen to me!! Am I that evil? Why! Why!

You win some. You lose some. I guess...

[jimbodan]

What's your secret to finding good yard sales? Do you just drive around looking, or is there some other method?

[mousin]

man i wish i could be as lucky as you.
