Garage saling for treasures

[wiggy]

Nice, that's awesome!

Next year I'll have to make a post so any locals can meet up at the show

[5potatoes]

Went to my local flea market today and picked up:

Maniac Mansion (NES)

Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest

Little Nemo: Dream Master

Time Crisis 3

Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 (In original big box)

Got all this for 5 bucks each.

@MickDundee - I want your father in law -  he sounds like an awesome bargain hunter.  You want to send him over here for a few weeks?  I'll take good care of him. Lol 

[Mick Dundee]

I need him here to hunt for me! Having a kid and him getting a GF leaves me S.O.L. to go Yard Saling with him. Still hoping he comes across a TG16 for me....only system i WANT that I don't have.

 He also keeps his eyes open for Anime, Manga, Hint Books, Legos and other various things I show interest in.

Not really a garage sale but, went to Digital press in Clifton NJ and picked up

Star Fox (SNES) 7.99
Super Adventure island (SNES) 8.99
Gun force (SNES) 1.99 -bargain bin "untested"
some nes sleeves and GB hard cases

For some reason SNES Games are non existent in the 6-8 towns i garage sale at.  plenty of nes, 64, ps, gc, etc.

This is the only place i ever pay close to retail prices.  Even then the prices are usually below ebay.
The only down side of going there for me is literally getting there.  route 20 and route 46 in NJ can be scary at times
all the crack heads on the road think their in grand theft auto.

Yeah... I had too much stuff lol!

Again, I was in the green lol!

[madrocsz]

Another craigslist find today -

39 PS1 games, ALL complete
PS1 w/ controllers and hookups etc

50$

Didnt need the system and most of the games but there were some gems in the games

Mega Man Legends 1 and 2
Legend of the Dragoon
FF 7-9 and tactics
Resident evil 1-3
Azure Dreams
Tales of Destiny

Needed legends 2 and azure dreams, again they were complete and in great condition, should easily cover the 50$ by selling off the rest

[Mick Dundee]

I would love just to see a few games like Tales of Destiny at yard sales. I LOVE RPG games.

@ Craig/ShootHimNow
I wish we had conventions like that around where i live. Also, judging by you smile and hand placement i would assume the Blue Mushroom is 'yours'  

[wiggy]

I don't know if I saw you or not.  That event was sort of sensory overload for me LOL!

But, I'll make sure that we at least get to say hi and shake hands next year.  Who knows, I may have a booth with a variety of console shells

I still want to know where and how some of you find these awesome sales. There's only one flea market close to my home, and it sucks tremendously.

Dont discount ebay, yeah pricing can suck as well as shipping but every now and then find a great deal. For example I found mega man x3 and 7 both for 40$ cuz they had label wear, just printed out new labels. I also go mega man 5 and 6 cheap just by "make an offer"

As far as gamecube, might be a picked over but gamestop just started buy 2 get 2 free on all gamecube games

Most of those genesis games, especially sonic you should find dirt cheap online if not somewhere for a few bucks each at most.

@Wiggy
I better get a discount for a shell damn-it!  I love the idea so PLEASE bring atleast one, because I will most definitely buy it!

@Shenske
The "blue" mushroom is Kelly, and she is freaking amazing (and is completely "mine").  She finds uber rare things and uses puppy dogs eyes to bargain down high prices to stupid/insane low prices.  Trust me, there is a STRONG love/hate relationship.  She freaking found a wavebird controller with adapter for $1.  It was $10 and she swindled the seller down $9, I mean... come on! If I tried that, the person would laugh and tell me to leave!

First, spelling and punctuation are your friends. Second, I don't trust Ebay; there's too many folks willing to rip folks off at every turn.

As far as Gamecube, Gamestop just started buy 2 get 2 free on all Gamecube games

Is this at all locations, with all available titles, or just select on both?

Most of those Genesis games (especially Sonic), you should find dirt cheap online, if not somewhere for a few bucks each at most.

Well, there's not a lot of retro stores in my area, and the few that exist don't have much besides tons of pointless old sports games. They'd be good for case replacements, but that's it.

[madrocsz]

Yes, all locations.
