Hey everybody! I noticed the Flea Market Finds thread was closed, not sure why, but I decided to start a new one! Post your finds here everybody!

[Daw19yoyo]

So I found a great deal at the flea market I went to. It is basically the find that I have been waiting for!

But first let's go with the stuff that isn't the BIG find.

I bought from one guy:
PC controller $1
Lord of the Rings Glass Goblet $1
GTA 3 () $2
Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance () $2
Mist IV Revelation () $2 (I have all five now!!!!!)
NES games Atlas $2
Total $10

From another guy I bought:
SOCOM 3 U.S. Navy Seals ()
SOCOM U.S. Navy Seals () (Caseless)
Rainbow Six () (Caseless)
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4 ()
Friends Seaon 1 ()
Call of Duty 2 GOTY ()
The Matrix Reloaded ()
Total $10 (He was selling them 3 for 5)

And now the BIG Find!

Spoiler

All of these are WITHOUT the games
Uncharted 3 Drakes Deception Collectors Edition $15!
God of War 3 Ultimate Edition $20!
Assassin's Creed Brotherhood Collectors Edition $20!
Aliens vs Predator Hunter's Edition $5! (The Facehuggar has a ripped tail, but thats what super glue is for right?)

Besides Uncharted and AvP missing their Tin cases these are all complete!

Unfortunetly I had to miss out on a replica Retro Lancer for $60 and Call of Duty Black Ops limited edtion for $40, but if he doesn't sell tBO untill next week it will be mine!

I might get pics soon...

So what do you guys think?

^^^Sounds like you did well on the CEs. I'm guessing those are to keep not flip?

Reason I ask, I've had the had the hardest time selling what I consider desirable CEs without the games.

Would be interested to see pics if you get the (Retro?) Lancer. Two of the game shops near me have these in cases (not for sale), but they are pretty neat!

[Chronis]

Nice for the the CEs. I'd love being able to get the stuff from CEs without buying the game, since most of the time I buy the vanilla anyway.

[pitfallharry219]

I remember when ToysRUs.com (or Sears.com maybe?) cleared out the GoW III Ultimate Edition for $20. I think I still have a couple still sealed in the shipping boxes in my basement. My mailman was pissed that he had to get out of his car and open his trunk to deliver my mail that day.

I would but some guy bought it right after I left. XD

The guy at the flea market here gives me game-less ces for free since I give him so much business :P

That sounds like me with the BLOPS Prestige Editions for $15 from BB.com. I think I spent close to $200 on them between cost & shipping. I sold 1-2 on Amazon for MORE than MSRP and got to keep the rest for free essentially. I've been trying to unload the leftover portions of the Prestige bundles(cars, medals) for $30 but still no bites.

I still have one sitting here sealed that I have listed on Amazon which SHOULD sell just before BLOPS II comes out. But they are a major league BITCH to ship. Luckily I kept the shipping boxes from them and I go UPS to get them there in 2 days max.

Also got a sealed LoZ Spirit Tracks guide for $2 and an eyeglasses case with a Nintendo logo on it for .50

[Dark Lord Greg]

just picked up a couple of things:
ActRaiser (SNES) $3
SNES mouse $1

Interesting thing the guy who sold me ActRaiser told me that they have over 700 games since they bought a bunch of stuff on liquidation from Midway when they went out of business. Said they are still going through the boxes so I gave him my name and number to contact me when he had some stuff to sell.

[entity00005007512]

I've yet to get a single deal where I gave out my number or the person gave out theirs and I've done it about 20 times.

Wish you the best of luck.

Those NES game in the plastic cases are awesome. I've bought bad madden games for $2 just to get those cases before.

[Dark Lord Greg]

yeah not expecting much but worth a try

Picked up just a few things:
Thunder Force 3 (Genesis, came in a Jurassic Park case which is great since I had the game with no case) $2
The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror (DVD with #5-7 and 12) $1
The Evil Dead (DVD, Book Of The Dead Limited Edition) $1

[Dark Lord Greg]

A few pick ups on Saturday since I guess nobody else goes to flea markets haha:

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (SNES) $10
Super R-Type (SNES) $5

[Parasite Eve]

I picked up some finds a few days ago. Cost Me $6 as the manuals were throw ins.

[Dark Lord Greg]

I'll take that Super R-type manual off your hands

also is a Sega Saturn worth owning? Could get it for $25 with 1 controller and hookups but what games worth playing are on it?

[Parasite Eve]

I never owned a sega saturn or a sega cd just a genesis and what do u have in mind for the manual?

[detectiveconan16]

@DarkLordGreg You found a Sega Saturn for $25? That's definitely worth getting, if it is to sell to somebody else. There are a good number of games for it worth playing, and it runs X-Men vs. Street Fighter MUCH better than the PS1 version.

oh I was just kidding since I picked up Super R-Type

[Parasite Eve]

[Clak]

Should have posted this here but I didn't see the thread at the time.



Front marquee piece from an old joust machine. Found at a flea market. Sorry the picture is huge.

[doodmandood]

Cool pick up!

[Tiako]

Every time I go to the flea market they seem to be priced about the same as ebay. I think I am doing it wrong?

[Parasite Eve]

I agree, flea markets here are the same.

[leecy]

Dynamite Headdy complete
Toejam & Earl complete
Streets of Rage 2 no manual
Commander Chaos cart only
for $20

Also picked this up for $45:



I think I may have overpaid, but the box is in pretty good shape and the SNES isn't yellowed. Only came with the complete system and Killer Instinct; no paperwork or Super Gameboy. Pretty cool find but I don't know if I want to keep it as I have nowhere to display it. Sucks the game boy box is stuck to the front.
