I haven't seen anything PS2/Xbox/GC or newer in a LONG time. It's getting really frustrating. I did get Batman and Joker Whacky Wobbler bobbleheads still in the box for $2 each. Those were awesome. My biggest find of the day actually came at a pawn shop later on. 3DS for $50.

I live in Oswego. My plan is to go as far as like Earlville or Mendota. There's a flea market in Leland I wanted to look up and a small game store in Sandwich where I've had some luck.

Not looking forward to the heat, but I figure I'll take a cooler of water and some extra sunblock. Not a great plan, but I haven't freestyled in a few months.

I went out on a Sunday because there was a highway sale that I didn't get to see as much of as I wanted. There were a few deals and a few duds.

Found these at a parking lot sale in a small town along the highway. Got Castlevania Chronicles for $1, Dragon Strike $1 and Guitar Hero Decades DS (complete) for $2.

I was very suprised to find Castlevania for $1 on a Sunday at a highway sale!

I think this is the third copy of Dragon Strike to show up on this thread this year. Note the sealed VHS. I think the people bought this game, opened the card deck and lost interest. All plastic parts are still attached but the box has major shelf wear.

Found this bundle tagged for $15. I offered $10 and they countered with $12. I should have kept my $12. Maybe I can put it on Craiglist for $20?

Finds 6-2-12

After being up until about 4am Friday night, I overslept until 7:45. Thought I was screwed for some sales I wanted to get first dibs on. Lucky for me that I wasn't the only one that overslept...

I arrived at the sale I wanted to check out at about 8:30 expecting it to be cleaned out..... they had just started setting up! The guides were $1 each except for the Fallout guides which were $2 each. The only guide I left was Alan Wake since I don't own the game.... or a 360. When I grabbed the Fallout NV SE book, the guy went in the house and got a baggie with the poker chips and playing cards and gave them to me. He then talked himself down to $1 on DC Universe saying you may have to buy an online pass. The G.I. Joe season 1.1 was $6. Paid $16 total for everything pictured. If the guy running the sale is out there reading this, you're ing awesome dude!

Found some CDs that I apparently couldn't live without.
Bob & Tom $2 each
Alice in Chains - Facelift $1
Led Zepplin - Led Zepplin II $2
NIN - "The perfect drug" versions $1
Jefferson Airplane - The worst of jefferson airplane $2
The Beatles - 1967-1970 (2 disc) $5

I don't really listen to Bob & Tom but a guy at a local shop told me people around here go nuts for them and pay $15-$20 each. Figure I could make a few bucks. Normally $2 is my limit on any used CD and I have to really like it to pay that much, but The Beatles are going to set you back no matter where you get them. Plus this album has most of the songs I like from them.

nice

The only 360 game I saw today was the Lego Indiana Jones single game edition for $20 used. (They also had Halo & Halo 2 for $10 each and some crappy girl's DS game for $5). Passed on all of that stuff.

Also was ready to buy Black Eyed Peas Monkey Business for 75 cents, but noone was around so I just set it back and walked off.

Today was a bust. Only got some legos for 25 cents. I saw some GBA games but it was all shovelware.

All the SNES stuff was in a box for $25. I didn't bother negotiating b/c i was in shock. Check it:

Really nice lot!


Invicta61 Those finds are insane! I might start hitting IN.


I had a family emergency so I got to an 8:00 sale at 8:05 this morning. The lady told me she had just sold a Nintendo and Sega (genesis) and around 25-30 games for $20 about 2 minutes before I got there.

I actually passed the guy as he was leaving the sale because it is in an area, where there is only one road in and out. I still bought a couple of games that they hadn't put out, so it wasn't a total loss.

TBH, I am having much better luck hitting the thrift store lately. I've been working on GS and Thrift pics, so hopefully I can get some stuff posted soon.

I might just make my own pickup thread, so I don't have to categorize everything.

Not much luck this morning. Seemed like everything was overpriced junk. My favorite was the "new" Wii for $150.

Picked up a couple Leapfrog Handhelds for $2 that I'll probably flip, a slim PS2 for $5 (the AV cable is unusable though), some DS Math trainer game for a buck, and Dance Dance Revolution Disney Channel Edition with pad for 15 cents (though I later realized the game wasn't in the case).

I should have posted pics of my haul last week, found tons of games and systems dirt cheap.

Didn't get much this morning. Hit 3 neighborhood sales and a rummage sale.
$3.00 King Kong Production Diaries
$1.00 about 100 pokemon cards (4 foil) and zelda oot 3d guide.
$0.50 Mint greatest hits Resident Evil Directors Cut
And $4.00 unused / very clean bird carrying cage.

Also got some dvd / game stands, each one will hold 48 games. Got two for $1.00

Went back to the community sale I went to yesterday as I kept hearing more people would be out.

There wasn't much, as we were on our way to leave I had picked up three copies of this Wolverine sticker (by Raney) from 1993. No idea where they were from... comics, free comic day, cereal or what, but they had a stack of easily 100 or more and had them marked 10 cents or 3 for a quarter.

On the way out, one family that had some free stuff put a ton more of stuff out so my sister and I raided it. I got Dawn of the Dead (Director's Cut) on VHS and the soundtrack to Elektra. Also found my nephews a few Nick videos there and at another free box including some Catdog, Hey Arnold, and Sponge Bob.

Saw about 5 360 games. $5 2011 sports titles, GH3 for $5 and then Hot Pursuit for $10. Passed on all of them.

I went to a huge community tag sale that I spent 3.5 hours of my Saturday morning.

DJ Hero xbox 360 turntables $5.00 for both

What a disappointing ing day, we got an early start for nothing. I swear, it must be national "sell off grandma's old junk" day.

Only thing I found, gaming-wise, was a complete copy of Firefighter FD 18 :PS2: for $1. Non-gaming, I picked up three NIB McFarlane horror figures for $2 - 2 Freddie Kreuger, 1 Pumpkinhead.

Shovelware and cart-only crap DS games for $5-10/each. I almost picked up a disc only of Lego Star Wars Complete Saga :PS3: for $5 to flip to Best Buy, but I have NEVER seen a Bluray disc wrecked as bad as this one.

^Ahh look at the bright side, at least you are not stuck at home on a beautiful day cause your clutch is fuct.

and white3er, you , you man.
