Flea Market finds - EarthBound, etc

[snipegod]

I went to this little flea market not 2 minutes away from my house today for the first time (there's a huge flea market 10 minutes away that I usually go to). When I say little, I mean maybe 15 poh-dunk stalls at the most.

Anyways, here's what I got today:

SNES:
Super Mario World
Dragon's Lair
Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts
Gradius III
Mortal Kombat II
EarthBound (this is the real kicker ... I searched eBay and it seems this one is worth quite a bit?)

NES:
Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt
Super Mario Bros. 2
Super Mario Bros. 3
The Uncanny X-Men

6 SNES games: $16
4 NES games: $7

I've been looking for Earthbound for a while. Damn.

That's a good haul, sir. Feel lucky!

Don't sell earthbound! Bask in its glory! Is it complete?

 

[snipegod]

Nah, it's just the cart.

None of the games worked at first (except Super Mario World), but after I took a Q-tip and rubbing alcohol to them, they all work fine now.

Nice finds. Earthbound is still one of my fave games of all time. So damn quirky.

The only flea market within relative driving distance of me has one gaming vendor. All of his merchandise is used, and every game looks like it has been used as a frisbee across pavement. To top it off his prices are about five to seven dollars off of new. I do not understand how he has stayed in his spot for six months!

In other words, I am jealous of all of you who have decent flea markets.

you should trade earthbound on the trading forum. You can get quite a bit of what you want for it.

Sweet finds. Dont decide whether or not to trade/sell Earthbound until you play it. Its a great game IMO.

 

[Scorch]

Earthbound is one of the greatest games of all time. I would never part with my copy. Enjoy it.

I got super dosge ball for 3 and a power pad for 10 at a peddlers mall. Not sure I got a good deal on the power pad though.

Nice finds!

On a side note, a few months ago I got my copy of Earthbound for $4 at a place that usually charges $15-$30 on average for the more popular SNES RPG's. I was surprised to find it priced so low. It was a loose cart and in pretty good condition.
