He is coming to Pitt this month with his new band (Jello Biafra and the Guantanamo School of Medicine), I really think skipping work is appropriate for that kind of occasion.
s. That guy has an interesting story concerning his life nowadays.Nice find - just don't expect the target dlc code to work.@Dokstarr, you can look at the UPC on the very bottom of the unit and where is says 1001, 2001, 3001 etc, that is where you will know the model. you can find more about that here: http://psp.about.com/od/hardwarefirmware/a/Psp-Specifications-for-all-models.htm
Had a pretty good weekend myself! Here are the main highlights:
Probably the best find of the day. I headed to our local Vocational School's yard sale which is usually packed. However, I beat everyone there this time and picked up these 2 cool items.
Sansui Stereo Amplifier AU-7500
Sonic Racing Sonic Car
They listed total for $2.50 but she wouldn't budge to $2 even. I was thinking about picking up an original xbox for $10 but when she wouldn't budge on her price I decided to pass.
Picked these up strictly for trade fodder. The lady running the sale wanted $5 each and then when we realized that we knew each other she said I could take all 3 for $5. Ended up with:
Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel
The Walking Dead
The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct
his was a nice pickup especially with the trade I got on NSMB previously. The CDs were for the wife. Ended up with:
Craig Morgan Greatest Hits
Craig Morgan That's Why
New Super Mario Bros DS
I offered $1 for all the things together and they took it.
This was a nice find. The kid that was selling them wanted $5 each which was reasonable but I offered him $5 for 2 and he took it. I picked up:
Rapala for Kinect (Sealed)
Disney Universe (Target Exclusive, Sealed)
Nice pickup! I missed a similar deal a few weeks ago.I have never bought Skylanders before this sale in stores or at garage sales. So finding this mother load first sale is a win for me.
I pulled up to this sale and this 12 year old kid has the small figures listed at $1 and the Giants were $2. I ask the kid how much for everything. The mom chimes in "how about $30?" He seemed upset by his mom's offer. I ask if they had the game but he couldn't find it but found the portal. Anyway I knew that Skylanders were worth a lot more than that offer so I paid up. I get home and I find out that in the lot there is every figure, adventure set, and accessory from Sklander's Adventures along with a few from Giants. There are 56 figures and a bag so that comes out to about 54 cents a figure! Now I just need to get the cards for the figures and the game.
Why wouldn't the target code work? It's still sealed in the package so it couldn't have been used I would think.
That's interesting! I've not used DLC codes in some time but that would make perfect sense. Oddly though, I've still got codes for trade that are from ages ago that still are valid it seems like a car pack from Forza 3. Are there different rules for different codes?
it all depends from my experience. I have had some codes expire on me (160 MSP from the XBLA triple pack) yet just thiis past week I used an "expired" code for Metasonic in Sonic Racing Transformed.
It was a legends pack. I literally just threw it on twitter. You can follow me @mirpkered and see if it's still active.
It may be different on the 360, but I had that code for the ps3 and it didn't work when it was a year old.
Nice find on the Sansui, thats one thing people overlook at the thrifts and garage sales, vintage audio equipment is hot right now and worth quite a bit, I've made quite a bit on the side flipping stuff and a lot of its fun to buy honestly. Found an old Sansei Equalizer at my savers a few weeks ago for $5 bucks, thing sells for $150 easy, crazy what people pay for stuff.@Dokstarr, you can look at the UPC on the very bottom of the unit and where is says 1001, 2001, 3001 etc, that is where you will know the model. you can find more about that here: http://psp.about.com/od/hardwarefirmware/a/Psp-Specifications-for-all-models.htm

I believe it says "Gaseous Form" text is blurred in the photo. I believe the two others that have visible text say "Disenchant" and "Plains"
I always check here if I find any Magic cards (which happened once, paid $1 for about 70 cards from the Portal set and managed to find two worth about $15-20ish).
You could just send me the cards, they probably aren't worth muchThese were at the estate sale that I missed the NES at. Paid $1 total
magic the gathering...I know nothing about what cards are good.
Yeah I found this site earlier, but I have white and black border cards. I spot checked a few of them, but I'm too lazy to go through everything.
I'm doing you a favor by keeping them...You could just send me the cards, they probably aren't worth much
I will take them I swear lolYeah I found this site earlier, but I have white and black border cards. I spot checked a few of them, but I'm too lazy to go through everything.

Some of those look like revised, the disenchant that I can see and the blue card under it. The box thats crushed on the bottom is a 4th edition box from one of the random decks they used to do. Im guessing you have a bunch from between 98-01, there are a bunch of different sites with MTG buy lists, Try Abugames or Cardkingdom. They generally give the best prices and some sites will also take cards in bulk if you dont have anything of value in the pile.These were at the estate sale that I missed the NES at. Paid $1 total

the ones on the bottom row are from Ice Age, a totally underatted series. I am too tired to look any deeper...Thanks everyone for the magic tips!
Here is a pic of some of the black bordered cards, it is the best I can do with my phone. OH BTW, my phone has random asian pics on it again. I believe it is that touchpal app, but I haven't figured it out yet. awesome, already did a factory reset and wipe on it and install malwarebytes.
You can click the pic, then use the zoom feature.
LOLPost some pictures here and I can probably identify them. Sounds like you've probably got a bunch of Armada, Energon, and Cybertron figures (circa 2003-2006).
This is a textbook example of the type of sales I avoid. It's a reseller or someone who's been eBaying, so you're not going to get any good deals there. I'd go there later in the day, if at all, to maybe score some cheap systems once they're starting to get desperate to make a sale.
+1. The ideal yardsale seller has no idea what they have or how valuable it may be.
My guess is it was a goose chase to keep you away from the actual sales
I had another good day today...so much stuff to go through, clean, and photograph. I'm so tired. I need an assistant.
Some lady thought I was 26 today...not bad since I am actually 36. She was kind of a flirt, so I knew I could get a decent deal. I asked her about Mario games, but it was clear she had Toad on her mind.
(How many people got that joke?)
