I took down one of the CIB Sega games that was on the shelf and I kid you not there was a quarter inch of dust on top of it. After I quickly wiped it off (and took an extra dose of allergy medication) I kicked myself for not taking a picture. I did take a picture of a really dirty Sega Game Gear. If I run across any other crazy dirt piles, I will remember to post a picture! Remember to follow me on ether Twitter or Facebook because I always post pictures there before I do on the site =). Cleaning took a lot longer than I expected, so I only got a small hand full of things cleaned while I was there. I got the Sega games, Wii and Gamecube games done and that’s not even a full wall of stuff. I ended up filling the car with as much as I could get home (see photo below) to start cleaning while I was at home. I didn’t even get a quarter of the SNES and NES games that I had at the store. What you see in that photo are the NES / SNES games that were in the back storage area.

I did find a few cool items including the CIB Samurai Showdown for 3D0. It’s not a extremely value find but pretty neat to find it in the cardboard cart with instructions. On a sad note I did find a Chrono Cross set of disc with no case. These disc were in great shape but no case to call home. If anyone has a case for sale I would love to make a complete set. Lastly R.O.B. volunteered to be my business card holder! oh and look how my universal media cases were delivered today. I am not a happy camper with FedEx!

TONS of cleaning to be done and an unbelievable amount of work still ahead. I did find some neat treasures so far and will share a few in this video and over the next few weeks share more.

I mentioned this on podcast episode 11 – I’ve got the power and like I said it’s not a free app but for $4.99 and it’s completely worth it. This IOS App allows you to check the prices of video games while out hunting for video games! No more guessing or calling someone to look it. On top of it being a price guide, you can actually track your collection on it as well. That portion of the app isn’t nearly as good as Video Games Manager (My personal favorite) or even iCollect Video Games.
