I've barely been on VGS the last few months. I'm having a solid week of finds after a looong dry spell so figured it was worthy of sharing.    7/21/2024: Saw a guy selling a PS2 on Marketplace with part of a N64 showing in a pic in the background. I messaged asking about the N64 and we agreed on $50 and met up. Came with an RF adaptor, 2 controllers, Smash Bros, and an expansion pack.  Great little find.   7/26/2024: i was browsing local sale sites on my lunch and I found someone selling a Sega Master System plus games for $75. We agreed to meet up after work and he actually marked the listing as pending. Normally, this is point where I get backdoored or ghosted or it goes to someone who can get there quicker, but he really held it for me. It was refreshing to have a reasonable local seller. After Burner is CIB, Black Belt is missing the manual, and Penguin Land is CIB but is a duplicate. Nice little lot.     7/27/2024: I went to a garage sale last weekend and asked for games. They said they had some but weren't sure where they were and took down my contact info. To my surprise, the seller actually reached out this week. He sent pics of 60+ NES games plus a few Genesis games. We settled on $4 per game plus a dollar for controllers/booklets. Total of $265 spent. Added some cheap filler and decent games to the NES collection plus Swamp Thing!  Not pictured is the Game Genie and book, gray NES Zapper, and Genesis controller. Most games came in sleeves and there were lots of Funcoland cardboard sleeves included as well. Selling the duplicates should recoup most/all of what a spent. Best local find of the year for me so far!   7/27/2024: On the way home from the NES lot I went to a pawn shop and hey had "clearance blow out" signs posted all over. I ended up getting Skuljagger and an Ice Blue Gameboy Pocket for $30 out the door. Nice little find to round out this fantastic week of local game hunting. 

The tab was already torn off on the box when I got it. To some collectors, the condition does matter to them. Just like the others have said before. For me complete in-box stuff I don't tend to collect for. I prefer loose carts and consoles since I don't have to worry about storing items. The whole thing threw me off when they said that. I will just keep it and find a video game convention or another video game store. Someone will buy it at some point. Thanks for the kindly advice.

How much you guys wanna bet there was an X he had to click once.

Yeah I have no clue where ebay = inconvenient came from.  I'll take pressing a few buttons over having to meet with randos from the internet in person any day. How an earth is that convenient?
