I'd be down for the 2nd.  Let me know when and where and hopefully I can make it out.

Yeah, the problem with me has been that the mobile site blows.  I still get my subscription emails for the Yard Sale and Thrift Store threads, but I can't seriously tell you the last time I actually came to this site.  But as soon as "meet-up" was mentioned, I had to come out of hiding, ha ha. ...

Holy hell. I'll be shocked this summer if I find a SNES system by itself for 45, let alone something like that. Bravo.

Oh, I had to take the 6:22 in every morning this winter (now I have to take the 5:40...hooraaaaaaay). I just moved in closer because I was sick of driving from Yorkville just to take the train from Aurora. It just sucks because I stop at Western, not Union, so only a handful of trains go...

No kidding? I take the train from Lisle for work! Shame to hear about the lack of stores, but maybe I'll have some luck with yard sales coming up. Of course...now I have to get couches for the new place. Stupid responsibilities.

Update: Had to drop off some stuff to donate at this GW, so I checked to see if Pagan was still there. It was. Paid $1. Got it home and sure enough, not only was it complete, it was in pretty great condition. Even had the coin! http://imageshack.com/a/img577/8545/1qld.jpg

Hey all. Next Saturday, I'm moving to Lisle, so if anyone in the area knows of a good thrift store or game place in that area, let me know.  Looking forward to some new stomping grounds.

I can't wait for garage sales to start up again around here.  I'm moving next Saturday, so a few new horizons might be nice.

I have a GW right down the street from me, and every so often I pop in to check out if they have anything.  Yesterday I saw a boxed copy of Pagan: Ultima 8, but it was taped (not original) shut.  It didn't look right, so I left it alone.  I'll see if it's still there tomorrow, but something...

Been WAAAAAY too long since I've visited this site.  It's been an insane few months, but I haven't forgotten about the Chicago CAGs. A lot's happened to me since last summer, some really bad, some really good.  I'm still gaming, though, so that part hasn't changed, at least. I also have a new...

Not sure if anyone else has heard yet, but the Ghost is doing another swap meet June 22nd. I'm planning on going, since I have some more stuff I'm getting rid of. CAG meet-up, anyone?

http://chicago.craigslist.org/wcl/gms/3841888169.html What does it say about my faith in humanity (or lack thereof) that I don't buy a word of this? Recycling? Donation Centers? BS.

Agreed. I feel like another drive to the Ghost is due.

Next time I visit my mother. She's up around there.

Boy, am I glad I pay attention to these threads... Got out of work early and went to the Half-Price Books I used to go in all the time, since they're doing their "discount" weekend. They must have a new manager or something, because all the games and consoles were now marked at essentially...

Honestly, that won't even cut it around here. Everyone around me has their sales on Thursday and Friday, when I work. Even if they still have them on Saturdays, they're picked clean of any game stuff by then by people who flip and resell for a living. THAT'S what making me lose my taste for...

You certainly don't want to pass up any sales, but I'd go to those with low expectations. Plan your route based on the Saturday-only sales, then if there are other ones in the area, go for them.

Son of a bitch! The Play N Trade in Naperville closed! Can't even pick the bones at a going-out-of-business sale.

I'm counting on it, but I thought I heard somewhere about the NCAA 10 being the last one they made. Don't know the truth, but hell, if I can make a few extra bucks, I'll play along.
