@Moiety: How'd you get Two genny's and a sega cd for $3? Were they just marked like that, or did you have to do some haggling?

Unfortunately Missouri weather sucks but I was able to still get t oa few sales today. I found the following:

This sale had a few PS2 games but NASCAR2005 was not on my top titles to pick up. However I did spot the following and picked it up:

Mobile Suit Gundam: Zeonic Front

I tried to CIF $2 for it but they were insistant on $3. still cheap enough.

This sale I came up to, I initially saw a PSOne in the box for 35$. I chuckled a little and then saw a complete boxed Super Scope. I scooped it up and noticed that the price was only $3. Not a bad deal.

This was not major story here. I found the 1st and 2nd volunes of 2005 secret codes. I CIF'ed $1 for both and it was good.

After snooping around at the sale, I finally asked asked if any games were available. After the husband found some games her brought them out. I picked up these 2 for $10:

Prince of Persia: The Warrior Within
Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones

Not a bad deal I thought. I tried to go lower but he was firm with $10.

I need to stop reading this topic. Being 14 and without a car, I'm flipping out because it's not like my parents want to drive to 10-20 different yard sales.

If only...

I just picked up a Playstaion 2 with two controllers, net work adapter for the PS2, and Gears of War collecters edition for $50 at a yard sale today.

Not so much a yard sale, but today on Craigslist I picked up Invincible, 50 First Dates, and Night at the Museum all on Bluray for $10 total.

ROCK ON!

Wow, I want all three of those on Blu Ray. Great score.

Is it a Ocarina of time edition 64? a friend told me one cameout back in the day but i have never seen one... do you have the pikachu edition? I found one last year complete in box. It's creapy the cheaks light up when I turn it on!!

I went to two yard sales today.

I found a gold mine in the first one:

FF VII COMPLETE, MINT, Black label
Disgaea COMPLETE, MINT
Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 PS2, COMPLETE, MINT
Chrono Trigger SNES, COMPLETE, MINT
Earthbound SNES, COMPLETE, MINT
Super Mario RPG SNES, COMPLETE, MINT
Kirby Superstar SNES, COMPLETE, MINT
Donkey Kong Country Competition Cartridge SNES, COMPLETE, MINT
Donkey Kong Country 2 SNES, COMPLETE, MINT
Donkey Kong Country 3 SNES, COMPLETE, MINT

All for $35. I got really lucky. The second sale didn't have much. Alot of overpriced sports games. What a bust.

This is the one we have. I don't think it's technically an Ocarina edition but I'm pretty sure they bundled Ocarina with the gold system at one point. We have yet to get the Pikachu edition.

I found this site that seems to have a pretty comprehensive list of console colors (all systems), for anyone interested.

I'm 14 too, and go by bike.
That doesn't really work if you don't live in the middle of the city though.
I biked 10 miles to the stupid Earth day festival to get free store credit to bookman's yesterday, and another 5 miles for yard sales. Its worth it though.
A used store bought all my scratched to shit broken PS2 games I got for $2 total for $15 in store credit, which I used to buy a non PC perfect condition tales of symphonia, and black label complete final fantasy anthologies, and a disc only crash bandicoot warped. Not bad. ^_^

Seconded

Update: Still no pics, but Since I realized the guitar controller didn't have the receiver, I took it back and asked. The dad who used to own it wasn't there so the wife looked inside and got me the ps2 receiver. It wasn't till I got home till I realized it was the WRONG ps2 wireless receiver. Still unresolved. However, I asked if they were selling any ps2 accessories/games, and she says maybe and she'll ask her husband. I leave my #. Then she asks if I have a ps2, and I say I did but broke it (truth, while trying to mod it to play my import jap games and guitar hero hacks). She goes to the trunk of her car and gives me a perfect condition phat ps2 with no wires. I tried it when I got home and it works perfectly. Now if I can just get the right receiver I will be a really happy man. The best yard sale I've ever been to.

Bookmans is awesome! Everytime I'm in AZ I make my ex-gf drive me around to the different stores. I haven't scored big there yet, but one day I will. I think last time I was there I bought some decent comics and a space invaders with the original box and instructions for $2. I just wanted the box since it was in such nice shape.

Cool. How do you carry all the stuff around though? In a bag?

I'll have to ask my parents if they'll let me bike around, and see if the yard sales are close enough. I doubt they will though, even though I live in the suburbs they're afraid of everything.

This guy has been trolling in the Stootsi thread saying stuff like "I got the 60 gig PS3 for $200, thanks!" So I call bullshit. Pics or GTFO.



I went to my first yard sales of the year yesterday. Unfortunately it was kind of a bust. All I got was:



Streets of Rage 2, "Not for Resale" version, $0.50

I hope to be putting some enviable posts in here in the coming weeks. Hat tips to moiety for the awesome finds.

I did have a nice Goodwill score this week though

Wait you guys believe Snotknocker and you don't believe this guy?

Snotrocker at least provided pictures, but it could have easily just been his own personal collection with a made-up story. Not to mention not all his stuff were mint, complete, rare RPGs and vintage games.

^ Very true any garage sale i'v been to if there are rare RPG's they are mixed in with other games, and people that sell rare stuff at GS dont care enough to keep them in Mint condition, unless it is a parent selling an unsuspecting college students stash.

snotknocker has a longstanding reputation here in this thread, even though i dont always agree with some of his ways, he always seems 100% legit...this guy though does not...pics, of course, would prove otherwise
