Garage saling for treasures
Moviefan2k4:
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. Local garage sales are almost nonexistent on a regular basis, which is also maddening. Personally, I'd love to find some of these games for a LOT less than most people want...

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.

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 ;)

@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.

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

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. :(

Yes, all locations.
