Weekend Adventures P1

Yes, I know. I haven't blogged in awhile. I can give you all the reasons (or excuses) as to why I haven't been blogging lately, but the reasons don't really matter. I have a few things to blog about since I've been away. But I'll make it a several part post. Here is the first part!

In a trip to California I went to quite a few places after I took a night to recover from having my wisdom tooth pulled. The first place I went to was the Upland Mini-Mall. Now I have no idea if it is actually called that anymore since the building was just painted and had no text, but it's just like any other indoor swap meet. There's vendors with their own booths and they sell stuff. The only one I cared about was the one that sold games, which they called themselves Game Station. Most of their stuff was spot on with their prices, but I did come across some goodies:

I got Baseball Stars for around $5, Pirates! for around $7, and Baseball for free. That's right, for free. See, it's funny when you're a female that buys games and actually knows what they're talking about. I picked up more items than this but they were traded for other items, so I actually spent a bit of money with this guy. I looked in their case with my printed price guide and picked out the goodies. Baseball Stars didn't have a price so I asked the guy how much he wanted and that I would pay $5 for it. He agreed. I tried the same with Baseball asking how much he wanted without stating a price and he said $5. I told him no thanks and went on my way paying for the rest of the items. After I paid for it all the guy put the Baseball game in my bag and told me since I was a collecter he would throw it in for me. Isn't that nice?

Both Baseball and Baseball Stars were in fine condition. No real blemshes, just needed a bit of cleaning (inside and out). Pirates!, on the other hand, had so may stickers on it it was unbelievable! You can't tell in the picture cause I did my best to clean them off, but I need to try out the WD-40 trick to get the residue off. I'm serious though, there was a magnetic strip on the front and back of the cartridge as well as INSIDE the case!! There was also a video store sticker on either side of the case and of course when you remove those you get the stupid reside with the word "void" through it. So I haven't cleaned it up too well, but enough so you all wouldn't have to see all the stupid stickers on it.

So there you have it, my first post of a several part post of my adventures from this weekend. Stay tuned!
