I love how jeffslot asked if it was a good deal :wink: What a clever way to show off your excellent buy! You lucky man.

Best deals I ever found:
A pocket TV for $30 at a pawn shop.
An Intellivison for $10 ( I still have to decide if that was a good deal or not :P )
My bro found a N64 for $3 at a garage sale
29" RCA TV for $25 at Salvation Army! That had to be the best.
There were a few more but alas I forget...

I bought my mini-SNES on ebay for 25 with 10 dollars shipping...darn it. And by the way, my $35 for one is the cheapest I've seen for a long time on a mini-SNES. Great find! I'm too busy to go browsing garage sales. Instead I get to buy my junk off ebay for much higher prices.

I hate you all soo much....!

I cant find deals like that. Course I make up for it by aganizing over deals I see from stores online and places like CompUSA and Best Buy.

I completely agree with jeff. Lots of my old consoles originate from "Carboot sales" (Sorry i'm english) and when i forst bought a snes from ebay for 30 pound i thought it was a great deal. But now i pick up snes' and genesis' for 1 pound each ($1.50). Some things i had to buy from ebay since arcade machines are extremely rare. But just look around and you'll be surprised at the prices of things.
Meh... So I don't post much?

Grrr... that's even better than what I got this summer at a garage sale. I got 56 NES games, a Turbo Grafx 16 /w CD addon, 7 HuCard games, and 4 CD games for $34. The NES games are really good titles too.
