Picked up a working set of wireless NES controllers for $15. I'm to lazy to take a pic, but here is a link to the classic commercial for them. They are actually fully licensed by Nintendo.

WTF? I have yet to find a good system at a garage sale! The only 2 I ever have seen were a PS1 fat, and a atari 7800 with no games.

Found a copy of Mortal Kombat 3 for Genesis that included the box, cart, instructions, and the official companion guide for $11 shipped. It just came today.

Went to the game store, looking for Genesis games. The guy was digging through the crate, looking for my game. There was a 32X in the box, with no cables. He said it'd go for about $50 if he had the cables for it. I got it and Doom for $10.

Got a nice haul today at Goodwill

Got a Blue frontlit GBA SP in very nice condition with a Game (Monopoly :P) for $20

and all these fine games for $2 a piece
Metroid (NES)
Tailspin by Capcom (NES)
Super Dodgeball (NES)
Swords and Serpents (NES)
TMNT: Arcade game (NES)
and Super C (NES) (Also known as Super Contra)

and an Gameshark for N64 that I have no clue if it works or not for $1, gonna check it once I clean it.

EDIT: It doesn't work :P oh well it was only $1, I guess I can use the cart connector on the top for a N64p or somthing, if I ever decide to make one :P

In my opinion I scored pretty good. I got 4 SNES games. The games I got were. WE'RE BACK, ALADDIN, HOME ALONE 2, and STARFOX!!! I got them all for $7.49. The cheapest I found starfox for alone was 8 bucks so pretty much I got the other 3 games free. If they suck or don't work I could also use them for my project (Once I recieve the GBA Micro in the mail)
