Nice find on that sealed Mega Man 4! I would've done the same thing as you, maybe use the cash towards a copy of Recca. Speaking of flea markets and swap meets, they're all the same shit over here. Sun-damaged labels, and anything and everything with Mario in the title sells for $30+. It's redic. The only good NES item I've found at the weekly swap meet across the street, was a Gyromite cart with the Famicom adapter inside. The great thing was, I actually went there with the intention of finding said adapter  Grin

I picked up a few good SNES carts at a thrift store a couple of weeks ago for $2 apiece. I kept the Kirby's Avalanche. I'm posting this to the NES finds thread because I took the other three (Mario Kart, Mario-All Stars, and Mario World 2) down the street and traded them to a game store for a copy of P'Radikus Conflict for the NES. Wound up getting a $40 Color Dreams cart for $6. I had to do it, given how that was one of the few 72 pin games I'd never played.

I got a copy of Terra Cresta in the mail today. I bought it on eBay last week.

This might actually be my last licensed, US NES game. (I'd love to get an NTSC Little Samson someday, but I've got a cheaper-but-still-legit PAL copy so it'd have to be a yard sale/thrift store miracle I think.) Aside from Samson, the only three left on my radar are Goal 2, Nobunaga's Ambition II, and Stadium Events (I know, "Dream on!"). I played Goal 2 once, and found it decent enough that I'd like to try it again someday.

NAII and SE are the only licensed US releases that I've never played for the NES. Honestly, I have probably no interest in actually buying and adding either to my collection. At this rate, I'd just like to spend 10 minutes apiece with them in my console just to say that I've played the entire catalog on original hardware.

It's a good thing I had the day off from work! On Craigslist, I found a yard sale this morning offering an NES in the original box, and it was only two blocks from my house! I'll admit, I've gotten a bit cynical about my odds on these things. As NES prices have skyrocketed, resellers have become very aggressive in my area (as well as the rest of the country). When I do still manage to find things, they're often vastly overpriced.

Well, I had to go and check this out. I'm glad I did. I came home with a gorgeous, barely worn NES Action Set in the box, as well as a Power Pad in an equally excellent-+ Power Pad retail box. There was also a small game case with a few junk games. And it's all mine, for a reasonable $50!

That looks more like a post for the "Hypothetical" thread:
