OK guys, I'm back with pics. Sizable post coming up. Went back to the flea market today (but I'll post it here cause it's basically a consolidated yard sale) and made my decent finds into kickass finds.
We'll start with this:
^Really the only craptastic find of the day. The first Pokemon movie on VHS (my wife has fond memories) and the first Sims complete with manual(PC) (the only Sims game and/or add-on my wife didn't already own, so why not? Asking $2 each.
Total cost: $3
Now, on to the good stuff.
^That's right, it came with a complimentary Nike box for me to dispose of at my very own convenience. The scotch tape says: "Game Boy System $10 (Batteries Not Included)". I took the box to the old guy I assumed to be the seller and held it up without saying a word. Hell, he knew what I meant. He said "What is it?", his son said "What's it say on the box?", I said "$10, but..." and he cut me off and said "$8?".
Came with a filthy (toothbrush and Windex, here I come) original Game Boy, a magnifier screen with a light and speakers, some bizarre joystick accessory, a carry-all case, a Light Boy, and half of an AC adapter. The prong-looking thing sucks juice off the batteries to power up the lights and speakers.
^I've never seen so many accessories. They actually made the original Game Boy bigger.
^More proof of the massiveness.
^This thing uses nearly every outlet on the Game Boy! So many wires!
^The carry-all carries the Game Boy itself (which locks in) and around 6 games (which don't). It even has a goofy carrying strap. Man, I'm gonna be cool at school. The games were already mine, unfortunately.
Oh, and batteries totally were included.
Total cost: $8
Next!
^Never seen this anywhere in my life. There was a Pac-Man board game? Anyway, guy said it's never been used and asked $8 for it. I didn't even try to talk him down.
^Yeah, he lied, it's been used. Everything's assembled. So what? Everything's there (the instructions say what should be there), and I own a freakin' Pac-Man board game. Does it get much cooler?
Answer: Yes. Next!
Total cost: $8
^Two Mario Kart 64 figures sealed in the box. Hard to find online. Barely found any. Yes that's an RE 5 CE strat guide holding them down... the top half of each box has a wicked curl. I'm gonna try to leave them like that about a week and see if they straighten. Asking $5 each. Bundled with next pic.
Next!
^Holy
. This is also hard as hell to come by online. The plastic is mint(dirty, but that's no biggie) except for a tear in the bottom(no more room for pics). I bought this solely to flip. The guy was asking $7 for this and $5 each for the MK64 figures and I went back when he was gone and they were loading up for the day. I asked his wife $15 for all three, she counter-offered $14. Um... ok!
Total cost: $14
Total today: $33
I've got 14 garage sales lined up for tomorrow, but for today, what do you guys think?

[quote name='phoenix529']Wow! I listed all the figures today on CL for way more than I thought they were worth and already got 3 emails offering to buy at asking price! (MGS - $110, Mario - $65, Yoshi - $55)
