When we last left our intrepid collector Bobby, he was closing in on 400 games... though still not at that mark he has taken a few small steps of late......................
The temperatures are getting warmer and the itch to get back to the flea-market (did I just use itch and fleas in the same sentence?) is upon me. This past Sunday I went (for the first time since last year) and was NOT disappointed. There was a vendor outside that had a few games that I did not have: Predator, The Punisher, Wayne Gretzky Hockey, King of Kings, and Bump n Jump. After that I ventured inside and my regular dealer had some new titles but the only one I could really swing for was Star Soldier. In addition to the games I also picked up a few new manuals. The week before I went to Value Village and under their display case they had several games (all priced between 20-25 dollars.. for what reason I'll never know)... but one lonely game was priced $1.99 and as luck would have it it was one I did not yet have! Pretty good week all around! According to my collection APP, my new game total is: 374
I think of this batch the standouts for me were Punisher and King of Kings. However, that being said, it was exciting to pick up Little League Champs for 2 bucks only to find out that my app lists the game at 4x that price. The other 6 games were bought for $25 investment and according to the app are worth approximately $50. Doubled my money on those as well. I guess it's a little misleading to say that when 1 or both of 2 circumstances would have to occur for that statement to be true. A) I would have to be willing to sell my collection and B) There would have to be someone willing to pay for the games what the value is listed at. At any rate it's just fun to see what kinds of deals I can find out there... I try to never pay more than what the listing says (even it's a game I really, really want) Well... that's it until next adventure!!! Keep collecting!
