Nothing yet

Despite the gorgeous weather we've been having lately in western NY/Buffalo (mid 50's as of late) , garage sales are slim to none. Only luck now is the flea markets/Goodwill/Salvation Army/Craigslist.

Always looking, ya never know what treasures are out there.

I haven't found anything good yet. Goodwill and salvation army have been pretty dry. Garage sales are dead in this area for a few months and there is really never anything good on craigslist on my area. I do have a tip. Make sure to put in craigslist.com. Craiglist.com is a porn site.

Wee 2007 thread! Sales have been really slow even when we get decent weather. I did manage to find one of those big plastic N64 cart cases at a goodwill for a $1.00. My super nintendo games fit in there as well so I have been loading them in.

I guess I should have posted my find here since it was in 2007. Yesterday, I found Sierra's King's Quest Collector's Edition at a thriftstore for $2.98. It had two discs that said King's Quest I-VI. The odd thing is that I looked on ebay and the ones going for a lot have boxes that look different from mine.

I mean, mine has a blue box and a red minatour looking like going to attack some princess. Also, apparently mine had a like nine floppy discs that contained a version of the sixth game, which actually work.

I wonder if there were different versions or mine maybe just an old version of the collection and it didn't come with VII like the other collections. Maybe someone here can clear this up?

can we get a sticky?

salvation army sells video games?!?

So far for this year, I got the following

Legend of Oasis Complete for Sega Saturn
Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy for NES
Final Fight 3 for the SNES

Cost ten dollars.

Didn't find next to nothing last year, hopefully it'll improve this one

Nothing yet since snow just keeps hitting this state. I'll eventually find a good deal though and share once I get it. Till then...I bid all good luck in their search for gaming goods and such.

Found Wave bird wireless controller for 10 bucks yesterday, not that great of a deal but goes alright with the game cube I found. All the hookups, the system, and 2 memory cards for 20 bucks from Savers.

Today at the fleamarket I got

The Bouncer and Dark Cloud Strategy Guides for two dollars
Resident Evil Code Veronica X for the Gamecube Sealed Ten dollars
Final Fantasy VII GH discs 1 and 2 with insert two dollars
Canon i250 printer for two dollars
Some Naki thing that lets me save games on any snes game. Five dollars.

Game boy player from the pawn shop for 5 bucks. Got the start up disc from a different shop for a buck

Picked up a Grey Japanese Sega Saturn yesterday. (off Craig's List)

Great condition, looks brand new. $50, which seems a little steep, but I'm using it strictly for import Saturn games.

Flea market find today.

This guy had a box of mixed PC games and music CD's, he wanted $1.00 each. most of it was crap or damaged but I managed to find these in the mix. I CIF $2 which he took without even thinking about it

TG16
Keith Courage - sealed but case has a crack
Legendary Axe - complete
China Warrior - complete

House of the Dead - disc and case are mint

Nice

Garage sales around here suck ass. Nobody ever selles anything good in the hicktown of Langford:(

I have a HUGE post for today, so bear with me here.

Lets start with yesterday. I woke up late and found squat at the swap meet, but following a couple of signs, I found a couple of garage sales.

At one I got for $5

SNES system with hookups and 1 controller, LttP and DKC. I'm gonna have to take apart the system and clean it, same with the controller, but everything should work just fine after I'm done with it.



I went to the neighbor who was having a sale and got for $5

TOCA Racing, Driver, GT 1 and 2, Megaman X4, Need for Speed High Stakes, Twisted Metal 4, Medal of Honor, GTA 2, Road Rash 3D, Rally Cross 2 and a PS2 Dual Shock. 11 games and 1 controller



Now today was even more crazy, my younger brother and I got up and headed out for the swap meet at 8:30. We first hit up one in San Diego.

For $5 I got

Myst for the Saturn (complete), Last Blade 2 for the DC, Sonic 1, American Gladiators, World of Illusion with MM and DD, Castle of Illusion. 6 games for $5



Then we went over to the Oceanside Swap Meet, where I only got 1 game. Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo for $2. Then we went over to the Kmart nearby and I got a ton of games there. I spent $41 and he spent $13.

I got:

Asphalt
Feel the Magic
True Swing Golf x2
Drill Dozer
Chibi Robo
Neopets (PSP)
DBZ Sagas (Xbox)
Indigo Prophecy

He got:

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance
Psychonauts



After this, I went home, got a couple of more games that I had laying around and headed for FYE, who had their trade in deal right now. I traded in:

Tiger Woods 05 (gamecube)
Clancy Triple Pack
Indigo Prophecy
DBZ Sagas
Spiderman 2 (DS)
True Swing Golf
Sprung
NeoPets

With their 20% extra deal, I got $54 cash! I covered all of my purchases for the day PLUS nearly half of yesterday!

Although it doesn't end there. After we ate, we went into my local Sears and right before seeing a friend of mine, I noticed that they had 2 copies of Dance Dance Revolution Mario Mix! I snatched up both of them, although I offered one to my friend first before I bought them as he was looking for one. He didn't have the money though, so I bought both for $107 after tax.



I finally got home about 4:30pm, tired and a bit sunburnt, but overall it was a great weekend.

Might as well talk about some games I found so far this year:
At Savers:
Final Fight CD (Sega CD) - $3 (CD only, looks like it came from a small-time rental store)

At a local used/import games store:
Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime (NDS) - $20 (Used, complete with box and instructions)

i'd been following last years thread since early on and made a few purchases, however this year i have resolved to get to more garage sales and complete my collection... looking foward to a long 2007!
