news Top Loader
Sunday, November 25, 2007 - by Cameron
I have wanted a Top Loader for a few years now. I have become tired of the ritual that is involved making a game play, but I have been unable to find one at a reasonable price, until now. I get it though ebay, so it wasn't dirt cheap, but still a deal. A final total of $108 with shipping for the whole lot.

Now 108 for a Top Loader alone is no deal but when it is part of a lot that includes 10 games and a Power Pad I say it is. Hopefully it will be arriving shortly. I can't wait to see if it lives up to its reputation.

news 2 down 44 to go
Friday, December 15, 2006 - by Cameron
Picked up 2 games that I had the empty boxes for today from New2You, a local pawn shop. The two games in question are Airwolf and RBI Baseball. I am still missing the manuals for both, although I was sure I had the Airwolf manual. Paid $10 for both, not great, but around here $5 a game is the average. I miss the days when I could easily find games for $3 a piece.

I am sure most people reading this have played Friday the 13th for NES, if not you better have a good excuse because it's a pretty popular game and I don't think it has ever been considered rare. I have a complete copy of the game and today I picked up the Friday the 13th box set for $30. It has the first 8 movies in the series, and another disc full of extras too. Works out to less than $4 a movie.

I am planning a trip to the flea market tomorrow, so with some luck I might be able to find a few more games I need. I am hoping to find a bunch so I can try to haggle the price down a bit or at the least get them to trow in one game for free. Not too many vendors left that still sell NES games at my local flea market, so I am going to start looking for some a little farther from home with better variety. I know there are more within a short drive but it's been so long I forget were they are. I just hope there still open.

Unfortunately they are already out of date, because since I took them I have won several eBay auctions and about half of the game have shown up at my door. Once the rest of the games show up I will post some more pictures and I will update my games list. I also want to add more information about the condition of each game instead of just the names. Hopefully this time it won't take a year for me to get it all done.
