A few months back I got a NES Challenge Set through my Dad in Iowa. He saw it at a garage sale and called me to ask if it was worth getting and sending to me. Without seeing it I told him if he could get it for $15 then I could work with that. He paid $13 and shipped it right out to me. It was missing the Super Mario Bros. 3 game so I bought a complete in box Challenge Set version SMB3 on eBay for $17. So in total I had $30 in it. Not bad since it is really in nice condition (aside from the usual yellowing).
I had plans to Retr0Bright the console and controllers, but something else came up...
A game was listed about an hour away from me that I hadn't played or heard of before. This is the case with a lot of games as I tend to use YouTube gameplay videos to see if I would be interested in them. I couldn't find anything online as for value on them (other than the occassional parts for sale). The guy was asking $100 for the game. It has water damage on the bottom 2 inches of the cab, but the game worked fine. He wanted it gone so I was able to talk him into a trade for my NES box set and got his Head-On and $30. I'll go through the game to clean it up, but I'm happy. Here's the pix...
