a truly incredible gaming find! (Aero Fighters and more!)

So it has been a long while since my last major find here (over a year in fact), but boy did this one make all the wait worth it! Here is the story: a couple of days ago a Seller whom I am friends with in my usual market called me and told me he got some SNES stuff for me. I went there (an hour away btw, due to some heavy traffic) and found that he had 4 SNES cartridges, 2 NTSC and 2 Pal. 3 of them were Mario games (Super Mario All-Stars PAL, Super Mario Kart PAL, and Super Mario World NTSC. Out of the 3 the only cart I didn't have was Super Mario Kart) and 1 was a game I didn't recognize. He also had a European SNES controller and a converter that allows you to play NTSC games on a PAL system, as well as 5 DS chargers. I was a little disappointed with the games tbh (I had hoped for more games, and ones I didn't have), but I was still happy that I finally got something. So I got them for the equivalent of $4.5 total. I also looked around the market and found 2 things: a 3DS charger that I got for the equivalent of 10 cents (expected it to not work, but it did!), and what I thought was, if it worked (they don't allow you to test anything there), my major find: a Donkey Kong JR tabletop game & watch that I got for the equivalent of 85 cents (turns out the joystick is broken+the battery cover isn't there so the batteries fall out as soon as you remove your fingers. Still, it works other than that and hopefully the joystick is fixable).



So I return home and decide to check pricecharting for the game I didn't recognize, just out of curiosity. I typed in the name of the game, "Aero Fighters", into pricecharting. Then I did a double take. Then I did some research to make sure there wasn't any misunderstanding there. Turns out there wasn't. I had a game worth $800 in my hand, and I paid practically nothing for it 0_0.



You can imagine my shock. like, the most valuable game in my entire collection until this point is PAL Kolibri, and that one is worth $265. This one is more than 3 times that! Heck, the most valuable item in my gaming collection period is my PS4 Pro, and that one is worth $290, so this one is more than 2 and a half times even that! needless to say, I was beyond thrilled when I woke up from the shock lol. Of course, I wanted to share my happiness with my old friends here :D. hope you enjoyed reading this, and would welcome any thoughts/comments :)
