Anyone from the Chicago area manage to get anything from the BB sale they're wanting to trade? I'm looking for Infinite Discovery (360), Soul Calibur 4 (either version), Devil May Cry 4 (either version), Pure (either version). I picked up 2 copies of Quantum of Solace (360) on the last day of the sale (right before the store closed) to trade for the ones I really wanted.

I also have a sealed Rock Band Special Edition (PS3) that I'd like to trade for Rock Band Special Edition (360) or anything else decent so long as you're close enough for a local trade as I'd hate to ship the huge box =)

I've been wanting to try smoque for a while. I wouldn't mind a softball game.

I did go, but it was pretty weak this year (no pics). There is one transformers guy who had a booth. It was in half of a school gym and most of the sellers had large joes, not 3 3/4 inch. The big GI joe con is in Kansas City this year. Best bet for transformers movie stuff is Wizard World or the Botcon (official transformers convention) in CA. http://www.botcon.com/BotCon09/

I'm interested in Bond, but I have nothing to trade. Would you sell it?

Just sent you a PM =)

Also I picked up FarCry 2 (360) if anyone's interested. Still want the same games I mentioned above except for Infinite Undiscovery since I went to eBay for it. Will be willing to check out your trade lists though.

On another note, are all the meetups usually in Chicago? Would like to go, but I live in the suburbs for a reason

Hmm, I don't remember FarCry 2 (Xbox 360) being on the list of games on sale at Best Buy?...

I picked it up at Target and quickly traded it off

I had planned on it last year, but then forgot about it. If you want to meet up next weekend, we can go check it out.

Yeah I'll hit it up with you. I'll let you know if I have cash and/or not busy then

This sounds like it could be good. Post reminders about this as the time gets closer. I might be down for this, too.

I remember a while back we had a discussion about where to get Mexican Coca-Cola. Well, I strolled over to Costco (Lincoln Park) yesterday and found 24-pack's on sale for less than $20. A good price in my opinion since I pay a little over $1 per bottle at the local carniceria.

I found one of those Motorola "NFL Head Coach" headsets (PS2 / USB) at my closest GS (Howard and Clark) for $1, and then later at the Howard Best Buy I noticed they actually had price tags for their penny guides. Two were labeled which game (Bad Company and Spider-Man Web of Shadows) but 4 others didn't say which game and the kiosk SKU look-up didn't help. How long have they been doing that?

This sounds fantastic--I will be hitting this up for sure.

Thanks, I only thought west coast Costcos sell Mexican coke.

WARNING: I found Mexican coke 355mL made with high fructose corn syrup. The bottle was slightly different than the normal Mexican 355mL bottle made with sugar. So just a warning. Always look at the ingredients before you buy.

Also, I noticed that Produce World on Cumberland sells 24 packs of 500mL bottles of Mexican coke for something like $28. The per unit price is on par with Costco. I would have bought it if it weren't for all the Passover coke I stocked up on.

Wow...I can't believe I never noticed a thread dedicated to Chicago until right now! I may have to hit up this Garage sale this weekend...might be a few hidden gems in the mix.

Doesn't look like we'll get maps for the garage sale until Saturday AM. Check Hoy, Red Eye, Chicago Tribune, Reader and Craigslist.
