I'm going on Friday with my Brother and Dad. I will be the guy who grabs lots of stuff and is in a hurry OR the guy looking at .25 bins on the floor while some fat guy's teabag is 2 inches from my head.

This year for the first time we are going to the SDCC, so that will be pretty crazy too.

I'd love to go to the San Diego con....there's always next year for me....

Has anyone seen any clearance games at best buy?

Good question. I was wondering this last night. Touhy had a bin last week, but the shit was only 20% off, and included Juiced 2 and a bunch of GHIII faceplates.

That's weak. BB at the HIP has ZERO clearance games. Don't even bother.

Any pawn shops in the Chicago area that give you good prices on stuff your trying to sell? (games, dvds, cds)

The Best Buy by Melrose Park had a few games on clearance from what I remember:

-DOAX2 (360)
-Pirates of the Caribbean (360/PS3)
-Fatal Inertia (360)
-Monster Madness (360)
-Halo 3 Guides
-DS games

Ryo, are you the "latino guy" slowdive is talking about in the Yard Sale thread?

I always tell myself I'm gonna haul my ass outta bed early to cruise those sales but I end up sleeping in. And twice since May I've had a friggin' cargo van rented and not put it to garage sale use.

Maybe we can use this thread to organize us Chicago CAGs and inform each other of yard sales going on? I was going to hunt last year but it never took place cause I couldn't get out of bed earlier than 2pm, lol.

I haven't been to a yard sale for awhile. Hook up a link to the comment made by slowdive.

Trying to cause trouble? A "latino guy" is what the people having the sale call him...Actualy they say "some Mexican guy" was just here, but I made it more politically correct. Since I do not know his name, but we have crossed paths 6 or 7 times this season, I refer to him as "the latino guy" (who buys video games). There is also 'the asian guy with the red astrovan', the "old guy" (I've seen him too, he is about 50, not very old), and myself who buy games in my area.

I asked a lady today if she had any video games and she said "You are the 3rd person to ask me this morning" I said what did the other people look like, so I know my competition. She said "a latino guy" - and I said "was the other guy Asian with a red astro van?" and she said "YES!! How did you know!" I said 'we are always competing for games, so I've got to pick up the pace!"

Nah, I was just playin'. Heh heh, that's funny. Who'da thunk Chicago is such a small town?

Hit up the Microcenter on Elston with that $10 coupon (expires tomorrow 6/22) from the main forum front page. I was gonna grab Persona FES but I went for Mana Khemia instead (rare RPGs FTL!). No used games carried at this location.

They had a big bin of cheap games but they're all in those "lockboxes" and it would've been a pain in the ass to go through everything. There's an EB (didn't know they all haven't gone GS) in the same plaza, so anyone with big brass ones could try to do some serious flipping before the weekend's over.

I also grabbed some cheap ($4) cd wallets to stick in my IKEA DVD tower because my piles of burned crap are getting out of control.

I was thinking of stopping by tomorrow -- late, I know. Last time this was on, I went on a Sunday, too, and picked up PGR3 (love this style of racing), a month of Live, and that official wooden 360 faceplate (which does look very nice on my system). Any word on the sale items this time around, like The Darkness for the 360 and Geometry Wars Galaxies for the DS? If all else fails, I'll see if they have some more PGR or WarTech lying around, but I wouldn't mind getting Prince of Persia for the Wii or Space Invaders Extreme for the DS for ten bucks each. Any of those titles in stock? And any luck with points cards and/or multiple coupons?

Sorry... I'm the wrong person for that kind of reporting. I'm not next-gen, and won't be for a while, so I tend not to pay attention to those titles/systems. The only thing I noticed was an endcap that had Manhunt 2 on it, but for reg price. Also, there's still a shelf/section of PC games outside of the regular games area.

I picked up Bioshock (used) for $20 at Blockbuster today.

I'm surprised at some of the deals there.

I stopped by the store on Elston around one and didn't find a lick o' WarTech or The Darkness, but I did find a few copies of Tony Hawk, Geometry Wars, and Manhunt on the shelves and on a back-facing endcap (as well as at least one GW in a DS discount bin near the front of the section). Live cards weren't valid this time around, so I just grabbed a free copy of GW and a $10-after-coupon Wii version of Prince of Persia: Rival Swords (sorry, that looked like the last copy). Tempted to go back for more GW for friends as I'm driving down there again later today, but I didn't see any Space Invaders Extreme for the DS whatsoever.

Thanks for reply, regardless.

I picked up geometry wars for free and space invaders extreme for $10 at the microcenter. I was able to find the space invaders by the register with hidden underneath a bunch of games and mags.

By the register... and hidden underneath games and mags? Wow, that's quite some detective work there. I just settled on two copies of Geo. Wars (leaving one on the shelf and none in the bin -- turned out I was confused by a partial look at the cover art of another DS shooter in there). I actually ended up using those two DS titles as... housewarming gifts, which turned out surprisingly well. Happy with what I got overall. Good show, Micro Center.
