This weekend Yard sles are every where around my region. Today I've found;

Coleco Frogger Mint condition in box - 9$
Sega Genesis with 13 games - 3$
Linksys Wireless N router - 5$

Tommorrow I'm still going on the hunt for more stuff

I scoured about two dozen yard sales this past weekend and the only thing I found was a Game Gear for a dollar. I've got no idea where all the gamers near me disappeared to but I need to find them.

I know, right!


And I hate how most people with garage sales with any type of game thinks that it is rare and valuable.

Yeah that's true. I went to this guy who was selling a popeye famicom pirate cart, a sega dreamcast controller, 3 NES games, and a MicroVision pirate NES controller. I asked what he was asking for each item, and he always kept telling me 5$ for everything on the freakin' table! 5$ for a NES controller!? I just left everything there and told myself to shove his 5$ up his ass.

And by the way, I bought another NES system with two controllers and all cables, and it came with a ''Golden cart 260 games in 1'' All for only 5$! This cart is truly the best pirate multicart I have ever seen!

Lucky.


I hardly ever get anything good these days.
I wish that I could find a garage sale of some 30some year old guys parents, who have no Idea what stuff is worth, who have a large box of NES stuff for $8.

That would be a good day.

I would also love that, but instead I would like it to be filled with LOTS of rare and some unreleased prototypes, just like (ummm...what was the name...jollyrancher I think?) found a couple of years ago. He bought every game for about 40 cents each and sold them for thousands of dollars a piece!  I would DIE just to have an Earthbound proto, and the guy had two of them! Now that my friend is FREAKIN LUCKY!

The games aside though, if any of you need blankets and toys for young children there is a surplus of them. Each sale seems to have more than the last!

Back to the sales though, I was at one table and saw Super Glove Ball. At the time I had a Power Glove but was still trying to find Super Glove Ball (I hadn't been looking very hard, mind you). Anyway I ask her how much she wants for the cart and she say she wants 15 bucks. Being the nice guy I am, I respectfully declined (she doesn't know prices or anything so I can't blame her) and walked away. Then I threw up.

A week later I found it for something like 50 cents.

One time, I saw The Sims , New in box at a garage sale.

Price sticker, $2USD

I said "Will you take $1.50 for it?"

And she said no.


That lady was a bitch.

[manuel]

2$ isn't THAT much, though.

[nurd]

It was the way she said it, though.


Also, I only had $1.50.

I hate that when you find something you like, regardless of where it is, and you are just under the amount you need. It's happened to me MANY TIMES.

last time with the bargains here in holland with queensday my behaviour was worse than scrooge mcduck.

2 euro for a commodore 64 with power cartridge, floppy drive, cassette deck and a ton with floppies.

i didnt bought it

[MaxXimus]

YOU SHOULD HAVE! The C64 is one of the best computer game systems ever!

I have one in box, and I have a bunch of games, and joysticks, and a fast load cartridge(so you don't need to type in load "*",8,1 or what ever it is you need to type in(sometimes it's the game name, sometimes it's list, bla bla bla))

I bought a Commodore 64 system about 4 years ago for 20$. It came with te floppy drive, controllers and diskettes and complete in box games. I played with it, but for some reason I just can't seem to like the Commodore 64 that much One game i did like though was Kickman I think
