Garage saling for treasures

[ShoothimNow]

Well I DO carry around a binder with me at all times just incase I find something that is worth buying.  If my list didn't say (its about 6 months out of date) $30, then I wouldn't have bought it!

This isn't a personal find, but I just noticed the game collecting subreddit has us linked in the sidebar. Thought that was kind of awesome.

I went to a second hand VG shop and I found an Nes game genie and a Genesis Game Genie complete with manuals also inside were maps for the Nes Final Fantasy game I noticed the shop was selling online with nothing included. so I went up to the owner and handed him the maps He thanked me and I got 3 PS2 games for only 5 bucks a piece and the Game Genies were really hard to find with the code books so I thought maybe around 30 or 40 he sold them to me for 10 dollars each what a deal. I have a huge collection i bought from him including boxed ATARI games. I will post pics if you want to see my huge collection.

Agree. No pictures = It didn't happen

I've yet to find any garage sales in my town that have any games or anything noteworthy to find in them.  You guys all have it very lucky.

You guys all have it very lucky.

 Only reason I CAN go Yard Sale hunting is because my Father in-law does it.  I wouldn't trust my crap-box car with the distances we travel.  Some weekends are a bust completely.

I forgot about this thread. A couple of weeks ago, I walked intoa Play -N- Trade, and walked out with Earthworm Jim, with box and manual. Cost $20, which may not seem like such a great deal compared to everything else everyone else here gets, but I felt it was worth it. After all, it's Earthworm Jim.
