Made Out Like a Bandit Today!

So I had to run some errands today, including going to the mall to get my wife an upgrade for her cell phone. So after purchasing her phone I decided to head to this antique/flea market store that's in the mall. I found a treasure trove of retro gaming goodies in this one booth. Lots of NES, Genesis, and Atari 2600 games, a couple Gameboy Colors, a complete Colecovision with several games. I wish I would have had more money along. I picked up a Gameboy Advance SP for fifteen bucks! There was no charge with it but I grabbed one at Gamestop for five dollar. So now I need to find me some games for the GBA to play with. So far I picked up two NES Classic Series cartridges with Metroid and Legend of Zelda. And while in Gamestop, they happened to be throwing away the standee for Dragon Quest IX so I quickly scooped that up and took it home with me as well. All in all, a pretty good day of scoring some sweet stuff.

Nice. I love flea markets, but most people at mine tend to inflate their retro games far too high...

That SP looks like it's in great shape.
 
Not trying to be a creeper or anything, but was the mall the Parkway Center Mall? I see you live in Pennsylvania, and I live close to that mall (I've been to their walk-in flea market thing, and it's pretty cool), so I was just wondering.

It seems to be in pretty damn good shape. It has the usual wear and tear on the outside but the screen doesn't have a scratch. One of the pins where you plug the cartridges into is a little boogered up but it works fine.

Nah this was at the Schuylkill Mall in Frackville. Black Diamond Antiques!
