Heh! I had some really good finds yesterday at the flea market.

I came across a complete in box Mavica printer as well as a few other boxed Mavica items (excited to try out the Mavica video camera). Got everything for $25.

I also picked up a Minidisc deck for $6. I've wanted one of these for a while but didn't want to pay more than ten dollars for one. I can't wait to try it out.

All in all a very good day at the flea market. Other recent finds include a Dreamcast fishing controller for $3, two six-switch 2600's with a bunch of controllers for $30, and twelve CD computer games for a dollar. Oh, and a free typewriter.

Some good and unusual stuff from yesterday's flea market roundtrip. PS1 - nothing special, GBC power adapter, nothing special either. Wing Commander Prophecy is CIB with all the goodies. Just the box is a bit ripped on the right side.

 

The Pokemon N64 controller was a convenient find, because the one that came with the Pokemon N64 I have has (surprise) a broken analog stick. This one here is fine.

 

The Saturn game is unusual. You don't see these often in Germany. I don't even have the console, but for € 2,50 CIB I just couldn't resist.

 

The most interesting find is certainly the Green Beret cart. It seems to be for the MSX computer. I've never seen anything MSX related in Germany at all yet. So I consider this item extremely rare, but probably not worth anything, as demand for MSX stuff in Germany is close to zero as well. I'll keep it as an oddity if none of you guys is interested.

 

(EDIT) I did a bit of research. It looks like in the form of Green Beret, I hold in my hands one of the most spectacular trainwrecks ever made. Sweet :-D

I would be happy to sell it to you. PM me with an offer that would not rip off any one of us. I have no idea how much these are worth, so I'd have to trust you on this. Also remember that I have never in my life been anywhere near an MSX, so I have no way of testing it.
