Finds of the Week #1

Hello everyone ! It's time for the Finds of the Week article !
Once again , i bought some new games for my collection .
This is my first 'Finds of the Week' article but i plan on doing it every week with a background story behind every find ! Some people are very intrigued how i got so many games ( 1000+ ) so i figured that would help.

Here we go !

Saturday : Went to a flea market ...This is the First thing i see at a kiosk i always stop by to see if there are new games . I don't have it and its 3$ .. i offer her 2$ and she accept. 1 More NES game to my collection !

Then i see this at an other table . I ask the man how much he wants and tell me 3$ .. i say 2$ and he sells it to me . I didnt have any box for my Sonic 2 so its pretty nice . I has the cart in it wich is pretty mint too .
 
Same guy that had the Sonic 2 . I ask him how much he wants for that and he tells me 5$ each . I offer him 10$ for the 3 and he accepts. They are not in the best shape but they are good titles so its ok.
Sunday : My other Flea Market  
 
 Biggest find of the week in term of numbers . 10 Boxed NES games . I see the games and im wondering how the guy did get them cause i've seen the guy a couple of times before and he never have anything interesting . I see a Megaman 3 and Contra and 2 Zelda and im pretty interested in those . I ask the guy how much he wants for them and he tells me he wants 10$ each . So ... im not ready to pay that much so i ask how much would you do them if i take em all . '8$ each' he said.  I say i'll give you 60$ and i take them all . He says 65$ . I say ok for 65$ but add that Tetris to the lot ... He said ok . Not the best deal ever but the boxes are in good shape .

Last one but not the worst !
 
Actually it's my best find of the week . I was walking through the rows with my wife and she spots NES games.  So she tells me if i have them and as soon as i see the Bandits Kings , i know that i don't and that this game is worth in the 25$ average with the book . So i ask the lady how much she wants for them and she tells me 3$ each . I offer her 5$ for both and she accepts . You should have seen the face of my wife when she sat in the price book that Bandit Kings was worth 25$ ... haha . Overall , I was pretty happy with the deal !  
My new NES count : 481 Different Titles !
