Our first deal for 2006!

Got it off of craigslist: the closest thing to a yardsale we can get here in New England. We bought it pretty much for the box, and we're glad we did. The box is in great shape. He was asking $15, but he took $10.

We're really missing the yardsales!

One request for the new one. When we get to 500 or so posts, please make a new one and then PM a mod to close the old one.

Man there are seriously no yardsales in my neighborhood... at least ones that are of walking/biking distance

I'm hoping they'll really start up some time in March here in North VA. Well, time to go play ICO on the PS2 I picked up for $15 at yard sale last year.

After reading this thread last year (missing high time for yardsales) I'm so prepared this year. I can't wait.

i think i got my deal for the year at a apw shop today god of war 5, i was so happy i screamed holly shit, this year is going to rock

Not a yardsale, but at the local Value Village I found 4 transformers for a buck each, and the real treasure to you folks, a Sly 3 Figure. Apparently there was a contest not too long ago for one, and roundabout I won it


Edit: I forgot to say how much I paid for it: $1.99

I'm ready for 2006. But I might get my biggest score this year from a private deal. One of the guys I work with, who knows I'm a video game junkie has a buddy that is going through a breakup and being forced to move and is really hard up for cash. Anyway this guy has approximately 1600-1800 games he wants to get rid of quick. (hopefully there's some systems too) I don't have much info right now but he did mention he has many rare import games and that there would be a list of available goods as early as tomorrow. I told him to talk to his buddy let him know i'm really interested and if the price is right I'll buy it all. I told him to tell his friend I got the green and he's just got to say the word and if nothing else could he at least get me first dibs. This guy I work with is a pretty straight up guy so I don't think he's jerking my chain. Early in last season I missed a big collection score by minutes, maybe this will make up for it. I'll keep you guys posted.

my first ys find of 2006 an was a good score i belive

Anyway, nice deal. Were the games disc only or complete?

oh yeah they were all complete and pretty close to mint, i think rofl means a bad deal

This deal has not panned out yet. apparently this guy's psycho girlfriend had him locked up on a bogus assault charge and he's been sitting in jail since last week awaitimg trial. Maybe when he gets out he'll be more desperate for cash to pay his lawyer fees and I'll be the guy with cash on the barrel.


Regardless, I picked up at a local flea

N64 - deck only - $3
Marked $5 but scored with the CIF for $3

Micorosoft XBox controller - $1
Guy was asking $1. Could'nt haggle that

Incredible Hulk - PC sealed - $1
Same guy same asking price. Unfortunately the only other gaming thing this guy had was a Game Gear with 5 cheesy games and very cool carrying case. He wanted $70. I shot him the WTF look, then thanked him for what he sold me and went on my way

Thrift Store Finds.

DC with all connections and 2 controllers $10
8 nes controls, 2 AC adapters, 1 RF adapter $2.50
Watching people pay 20 bucks for a used PSX, priceless


the same guy and store sold me 1 nes control last week for a buck.


I have a Nes in the trading forums, which is now complete, if your interested drop me a PM.
