So I have been having decent finds lately and tried to test my luck at the flea market. Every Flea Market in my area is mostly dealers and its very hard to get a good deal. Yesterday was no different, but since I am on one of my luck streets (on Friday I had found a complete Marvel vs Capcom 2 PS2 for $10 and a Secret of Man w/ manual and map for $6), I decided to give it a try. I get there around 11, when people are beginning to pack up and start walking around. I find some decent games here and there, but nothing eye catching. I make my way to the last row and run into a lady with a bunch of stuffed animals and toys. Next to the toys is a brown/yellow NES (completely faded) and some other consoles that looked like someone left them out in the rain. I decide to walk past seeing how the consoles were in bad shape when a game catches my eye. It was my good friend, Secret of Mana, complete in box. I pull it out and the lady instantly says $5. I look down to pull the $5 out of my wallet, when I see 7th Saga (cart only). I then see a game in a plastic case. I open it and it is Legend of Zelda Link to the Past SNES w/ manual and map. I start digging on the table and run into complete copies of Genesis games. I pick up Michael Jackson Moonwalker, Might and Magic another world, Landstalker, and Phantasy Star IV. We begin negotiating and after some CIF offers and counters, we decide on $23. I begin to pay when I see a she had books and a Phantasy Star IV guide catches my eye. She includes it in the cost and for $23 I end up with

Cart only

that is awesome. I need to hit up my flea markets and see what I can find. Been disappointed the last couple times and have not gone to them in awhile. Maybe its time now though.
 
Micheal Jackson's Moonwalker?.......Okay...Not really a great find, but yeah






LOST SEASON 2 for $10 NEW.........YOU SON OF A BITCH!!!! I'll KILL YOU!!!
 
Awesome haul. I haven't really been to the flea markets around here but from driving by it seems like I only should go if I'd want some sort of knife or Mexican wrestling toys.
 
I haven't seen Moonwalker in years for cheap, that Secret of Mana, Phantasy Star IV, and Landstalker were the kickers and the games I was going to pay her asking price (which she was stiff on). I basically feel that I got everything else for nothing, and dont expect to keep much from this lot since I own a few of the games. The DVDs are xmas presents, I was shocked by a new Lost season 2 in a pawn shop (not re-wrapped, as the Disney Stamp is on the wrapping). Season 1 looks brand new also, no scuffs on the CD or box. Someone must have taken the wrap of the set and pawned it.
