Paid $70 for a used copy of EarthBound at a garage sale and it paid for my whole summer

I know that sounds like a stretch, but stick with me. I grabbed this cart-only copy at a sale off Route 9 in Howell, Michigan about 6 months ago, and the label was half scratched off so I almost passed on it. Turned out the battery on the cart was still good and I played it start to finish twice, then a guy at my local game shop offered me $180 for it when I told him the save file was intact. Anyone else ever flip a lucky yard sale find without even meaning to?
