Right there with you! Dark Cloud is one of my favorite games. I can still hear the music.

So I was holding off posting this until I could add pictures, but my girlfriend broke my laptop so that may not be for awhile so here we go.

After an aggravating yard sale day saturday where rain in the morning made everyone cancel, I was driving to the flea market I set up at every week and stumbled on someone setting up their yard sale on the way there. Even though I was in a rush because spots at the flea market are first come first serve I stopped figuring I didnt get any yard sale action Saturday so a couple of minutes trying to get stuff wouldn't kill me.

So I talked to the guy, he ended up asking if there was anything I was looking for and I rattled off my list one of the things of course being video games. So he goes "Oh I have a box of Playstation 2 games I got at a yard sale but none of them work, I was just gonna throw them away but you can flip through in case you can do anything with them"

So of course I tell him I'll have a look and he brings out a milk crate of Xbox and Xbox 360 games. He said he paid $40 for the box and tried them all in his PS2 but they didn't work so he'd sell them for 25 cents each. There were 24 games so I handed him the $8 and went off on my merry way. What was in the box?

Star Wars KOTOR (PH)
Stat Wars KOTOR II x 2
Star Wars Battlefront
Star Wars Battlefront 2
Baldurs Gate Dark Alliance
Baldurs Gate Dark Alliance 2
Conker Live and Reloaded
Halo
Halo 2 LE
Marvel Ultimate Alliance
Dead or Alive 4
Then the other 12 were cheap commons like Burnout, Soul Calibur II, etc. I also got a few Bronze Age Batman comics from him, and a 3rd edition of The Killing Joke graphic novel.

24 games at 25 cents each and you paid $8? Ripped off!

I got comics too

My Xbox and Xbox 360 games don't work in my PS2. I shouldn't ask questions and just sell it.

That's amazing man! Good find I guess!

Wow! That is incredible!

Thats me!




Anyfart..... I found a 3DO of all things out in the middle of nowhere! It had a few crappy games with it, its the Goldstar model. I am debating keeping it or selling it, Its worth a little over $100 and the only game that looks half-way decent for it is the Street Fighter 2 game, plus I'd rather have the Panasonic model for my own collection. I paid $20 which I guess is a decent deal since I don't have one yet....the same person also had a ton of atari and intellivision games for 50 cents each so I just picked out the ones I didn't already have. After I got home and looked them up I saw that Fathom for Intellivison was in there and it is apparently one of the hardest to find Intellivison games. I guess that was my "karma" for the fake sale ! But hey I've already been the victim of tons of fake sales so aren't I just evening things out?

My pick ups this week.

FOR FREE- Xbox 360 Rock Band 1 drum set( no pedal or sticks ), 2 Xbox 360 guitar hero guitars( the GH2 guitar and the Les Paul guitar ). Also got a PS3 guitar. Owner told me he didn't know if they work. Tested them out- they all work

For $30- Gamecube games- a Spongebob game, Yugioh The Falsebound Kingdom, Metroid Prime 1/2, Super Monkey Ball, Star Fox Assault, and BeyBlade VForce. All of the games are complete.

Crows you have the logic of a retarded ape.

@Ferrari I see those damn things at every other garage sale.

Usually goes like this

Me: "Do you have any video games?"
Seller:"No we sold them all already, but we do have the guitar and drumset from guitar hero."

I bought a set of lawn darts today (maybe pic later) with metal tips.

Now, where do I sell them? Slowdive . . . any ideas?

yeah, I would like to know also... but in the meantime... play with them!

Found a full set of metal lawn darts with hoops last year for $3. It's BS they were outlawed in the first place; if some kid wants to throw them in the air and try to catch them that's just Darwin at work. When I was young society wasn't afraid to let the herd thin itself out, now kids are required to wear a helmet when they piss. Know what myself and the other neighborhood kids would do when we were bored? We would have rock fights.

/get off my lawn.

Almost no sales listed in my area this week... Still going out but its strange, its supposed to be beautiful out.

I ended up trading my set of jarts for an ipod and some wii games. I didn't want to sell them because of the ban.

Are they are really worth that much? I bought a set at Goodwill for a couple bucks a while back. Too bad no box or anything, but it had the jarts and hoops. Fun game I must admit.

I had a case of the super-rare "phone number obtained from a yard sale panning out into something" last week. Snagged myself an NES Console, SNES Console and 32 games for $150. It was a bit more than I would like to pay, but the value was there: 10 Games CIB, some near mint, manuals, and etc. Highlights include:

Castlevania 4
Contra 3 w/ manual
Lolo 2 w/ manual
Contra
Super C
Earthworm Jim CIB
Gradius 3 CIB
Mickey Mania CIB

A few of the CIBs were sports / commons (like an Othello I might as well keep) but still I'd conservatively value the lot at around $340.

I still have mine. I believe they are illegal to resell.


I had my find of the year today...but that doesn't mean much as it has been a crap year for me.

To the right person, yes. If you risk selling them on ebay they go for 80 to 100 but get cancelled almost immediately.

is it worth posting? or at least mentioning?
