I can not beleive I did not bid a little higher. DOH!

Fellow Nebraskan, I urge you not to feel too bad. After all you don't know that the high bidder didn't actually bid $95, just because he only won by $1. You could have sniped it at $90 and still lost at $91.

Thnx Mega,

 

forgot all about that. BTW, I am in Omaha too. Have you found any place besides Gamers here in Omaha or area for older games? (there supply is like a litter bin. :sad: )

You're telling me. You've seen those water damaged boxes right? Yuck city. And I'm sure you're just as thrilled I am they jacked up the loose cart price to $2. I hit Goodwill and Salvation Army every now and then, but have never really found anything at them that's a better score than Gamers, ironically enough. I know some of what they get has to be coming out of people's garages (often covered in enough slime and dust to have been nowhere BUT) so I keep hitting yard sales in hopes of an elusive haul. There are also some local guys I've traded dupes with that are members of this board; that's often more successful than Gamers or the thrifts put together. One guy here goes as far as Lincoln in one direction and Des Moines the other looking for stuff, and seems to find it pretty regularly - I need to expand my search base a bit too (I've checked Des Moines though on trips to visit my parents and all I seem to find are NES games).

Thanks Megaman,

 

I should start going to garage sales more often anyway. Got a pregnant wife that wants baby clothes so would be good for both of us.

I hit a really nice rummage sale on 87th and Pacific yesterday (right during the middle of a downpour no less, thankfully most of the items were inside the school it was at). No video games, but I got a bunch of cool stuff for $3 anyway, including a GameBoy carrying case. :D
