Official 2008 Yard Sale Thread

[quote name='allyourblood']not exactly. the Dark Fury segment is an animated short (35min). i actually haven't seen any of the three, so i'm hoping to have some time this weekend to relax and watch.[/quote]

Ah. I'm not a big fan of them, but my dad is (big Vin Deisiel fan), and to the best of my knowledge there was only two films. But now I get it.
 
okay, it wasn't really a yard sale, and I didn't want to make a new topic, but while me and my fiancee were out picking up her wedding dress, her dad called and said he had stopped by to see us, but since we were gone he left some stuff on our porch for us.

We got, a small TV, a VCR, some Juice and M&Ms, and Golden Compass for the 360.

It's a crappy game, but it's a free game. Someone he knew bought it thinking it was the movie, then gave it to him, but since he only has a regular Xbox, he gave it to us.
 
I was just wondering, since I'm very new to yard sale shopping: where does everyone usually look to find info on yard sales in the area/state? Any good links?
 
Pretty slow day for me, but was able to find a few things. Will have a bigger post in the Craigslist thread in a couple of days.

Yesterday I was able to pick up an old Nintendo Gameboy, Gameboy Pocket and around 18 Gameboy games, Gex for N64, and Family Guy Stewie's Story DVD for $30.

Today was able to find a fat PS2 w/ clear blue DS controller, Burnout, Burnout 2, Spiderman, NFL 2k3, & College Hoops 2k3 for $20.

Also picked up a NES w/o any cables and several games (Super Mario 2 & Contra) were the notables for $5.

I am absolutely bulging at the seams w/ NES systems. I need to get off my butt and get new pins for them and get them out the door.
 
Today kind of got out to a slow start, due to the fact that it started to pour at around 7:30am, so I started late because I wasn't sure if the rain was going to clear.

I only had time to go to about 8 yardsales, but finally found a Genesis with Sonic 1, and F-Zero, and Ocarina of Time (Gold Cart). They wanted $10 for all, but I CIF for $8 and they took it. Not a great deal, but it made a somewhat dismal start somewhat better. The genesis is a little dirty, and the cartridge takes a little bit of tweaking to get it to work, but I think those are both easily solvable problems.

Doesn't really get much better than this, walked up, saw a box full of stuff, asked what they wanted, they said $10, and I was on my way. I didn't get to look at everything until I got home, so it was kinda fun to look through it all. Sadly, no sign of the two N64 games my collection lacks most, Killer Instinct and Conker.

Power Stone

Found Metroid Prime at a big neighborhood sale, not much in the way of games, but at least I got some good exercise walking around. The other bundle of things was found at another sale, I quickly spotted Power Stone with a Dreamcast and another game. I wasn't too interested in the Dreamcast since I already have a couple, so I asked if they'd separate. They wanted everything gone more, but I found other game stuff and worked out a nice little deal. I never see Game Gear stuff, but I feel like if I ever got one, these would be some pretty sweet games to have.

Not a bad week!

List and prices at GameHoarders

Some salers in this thread insist that you should stop at every sale, even if it looks like old junk. While I'm not a fan of following this rule (it usually is just old junk), I'm happy to report that I got my first copy of Vandal Hearts (PS1) today at a sale that was advertising "glassware and antiques." This was at 11:30 too, pretty late in the morning.

Also got a couple of PS2/Xbox kiosk demos. If anyone knows what's on the Xbox demo, please leave a comment, as I don't have an Xbox to check and Google turns up nothing.

theGrue--- quite a lot of quality 64 titles you got there!
 
I didn't wake up 'til 9:00 and only went to 2 sales. The first one said someone bought all the games already. The second one had nothing out buy baby clothes, but when I asked about games, they came out with these, all for PS2. They all have cover art but none have manuals.

Power Rangers Dino Thunder
Metal Arms Glitch In The System
Pac-Man Fever
Fight Club
Shadow Man Second Coming
Medal Of Honor European Assault
Sonic Mega Collection Plus
The Nightmare Before Christmas Oogie's Revenge (with manual)
Turok Evolution
Frogger's Adventures The Rescue (+manual)
Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2
The Legacy Of Kain Soul Reaver 2
Dark Alliance
The Incredibles
Pac-Man World 3
Fantastic Four
Fantastic Four Rise Of The Silver Surfer
MVP Baseball 2005
Crash Bandicoot The Wrath Of Cortex (Case only, no game)

Told me to make an offer, I CIF'd 10 and she took it with hesitation.
Just noticed they're pretty scratched, so I hope they work.
 
Haven't been out in a while before today. Not much in the way of gaming, but I did get a few...

Factory sealed Ty The Tasmanian Tiger (gamecube) for four bucks, they wanted 5 and would not go any lower than 4. Stubborn old folks, oh well I've been looking for it.

Sonic and Amy 13" Sonic X plushies, a buck a piece. I didn't wanna pay that much..but it's not often I find sonic stuff.

That was it...there was a Barbie and Ken Star Trek edition set where Barbie was the busty blonde chick who's name eludes me...and Ken was James T. Kirk. I wanted it...but for $10 and previously opened....not so much.
 
Saw the deal of the year today... I walked up to a sale and saw a purple GB color and about 8 games marked $50!?! I talked with the seller for a few secs about old games and found out she wanted $50 for just the GBC system (not counting the games) - the games were $4 each... and she was very firm with the pricing and believed that it was a good deal?!?! Too bad too as the GB games were actually decent titles (marios, zelda, etc)

What were these people smoking?

On the better side of things.....

I found a Sega Dreamcast system with cables, 1 controller and Test Drive: Le Mans Complete for $1.50 total; and a few NES games for $2 (Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, CastleQuest and Metroid).
 
Hey guys first timer here.

I must say I am so impressed with everything on this site and thecoverproject. I am really looking forward to rebuilding my collection again.

First time doing garage sales and flea markets.
Probably stopped at 20 or so GS and sadly only got Super Mario Bros/Duckhunt, Super Mario Bros 3, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for the NES.
Total: $5 Tried to go 3 but firm at 5.

Next at the flea market I got a PS1 with cables but no controller for $4.
It's in good condition, I just need to clean it up.


Very frusterating for a first time. However I did meet a old white guy who had a garage full of boxes and said he had about 100 NES games, 4 NES consoles, a Sega Genesis with a few games, and a Playsation with soem games. He said drop by next friday he should have them out, if not then I can leave him my number and he will call me when he does find them.

I also left my number with the girl who sold me the NES games, she has alot of NES and SNES somewhere in the house she just couldn't find them, that was another reason why I paid $5 and didn't wanna be to cheap.


Any suggestions on where or when is the best time to go for this stuff? I went from 7-10.
 
I ran into a bunch of real winners today, first was the lady who had the nerve to shout in my face ITS GOING FOR 50$ ON EBAY!!! when I inquired about a price on a GBA SP that wouldn't even turn on but they claimed it worked. Yes it probably needed a charge but if you want to get full ebay price for your items at a yard sale I suggest you charge your systems BEFORE the yard sale, not just tell people it works and then ask 50$ for it. GBA SP's are also getting old and there's a good chance the battery was worn down or barely working. I didn't even mention a price I just asked how much they wanted.

Then at another sale I saw a pile of hardcore anime porn VHS tapes... the sale was run by an old man... I won't say any more.

Then I run into a couple SNES games for 2$ each where the lady won't budge on the price, they were filthy dirty on the connectors and nothing great so I passed.

Overall I brought home a bunch of toys as usual and a cheat code book for the PS2/PSP for 25 cents. I like to collect guides.
 
http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s46/Dokstarr/CIMG1916.jpg

here's a link to what I got today. It was my first time out and I didn't get out my door until 10:15 which I know is late and after all the good stuff is gone, but I had to help family members pack a van and leave for a trip to Canada.

I got from first place a Sci-Fi book called The City: 2000 AD - It is a collection of stories describing how strange and wondrous the year 2000 will be! The person said they didn't have change and wanted a buck. I said how about 50 cents, and they said okay.

Another place later on had some DVDs that looked okay but they wanted a bit to much. There was a bucket of DVDs that said 3 dollars and I saw Family Guy Volume 1. I was going to get that but then a sticker said 10 (because it was 4 discs). I passed on it.

But they did have some good books at the same place. I got 2 Neil Gaiman books for 2 bucks total. One looks in excellent condition and the other looks brand new (not even the faintest crease on the spine). I was going to buy these books eventually anyways, so that was good.

Another place had some video games. They had NES games for 3 bucks a piece, I offered 2 a piece and they took it. I got Metroid, Metal Gear, Ninja Gaiden 1 and 2, and Castlevania. I actually can't remember if I have Ninja Gaiden and Metroid already; I will have to check. Ninja Gaiden 2 and Metroid came with manuals, so that was kind of cool. I will have to test the games, but I have a very tempermental NES that I haven't used for 2 years. This same place had a Game and Watch system called Climbers. Its in the box and it looks in good condition. The person wanted a buck for it, but I gave them 50 cents. I don't know if it works though. It had a battery in the box with it and I tossed it in and I got some music but nothing on the screen so I'm going to guess it's dead. It's cool looking though, maybe I can modify into something someday.

One last place I stopped at had a Garfield pencil box on the table. They wanted a quarter and I gave it. It's cool looking but not in the picture.

I did see some crappy sales though, First place I went to had an original X-box for 150 bucks firm. Few other places just had junk. I guess I will have to get up earlier next time to find some of the deals you guys get.

I wonder how you guys manage to hit so many yard sales in a morning though. I started at my first one @ 10:30 and kept going until about 1:30 or 2. Takes a while going place to place.

EDIT:
Just found Metroid packed away.. Whoops.. so I guess I will have to put it on my tradelist or ebay it or something. I couldn't remember if I had it or not. I'll have to keep checking for Ninja Gaiden. I also found out that I own Mega Man 2. I had no idea.

I go with my family so I have to go when they get out of the house which can take a long time, I do my best to get them out of the house early but its hard so I end up going later in the day too, however I find that later in the day you get cheaper prices because people will do anything to get rid of their stuff! You gotta get done by like 2pm though, because most of the sales will end at that time, either that or the sellers just pack up because the people stop coming. Not sure if thats for every area though but when I had a yard sale last year the shoppers were heavy around 9-12pm and dropped off after that, no one came after 2pm. Also no one will come on Sunday so your better off doing a one day thing.
 
Just tested about 5 of the games, and they all have worked so far. Other than Dark Alliance, that person had terrible taste in games. That Pac-Man Fever had a $29.99 EB price sticker. Who the fuck would pay 30 bucks for a piece of shit like Pac-Man Fever?!?

That reminds me, my bottle ran out ages ago, I should get a new one soon.

Not much on the YS front today, hit up only about a total of a dozen posted and hidden sales, nothing to report but old antiques and clothing.
 
I forgot to mention that I missed a game i have been lookign for forever today, Starcraft 64!! the guy decided at the last minute to keep it!! BTW as i pulled up to the sale i smelled Pot then i looked and the lasdy runing the sale had a huge joint in her hand. talk about retards they will lock you up for pot here.

Did Gamestop give them $0.50 in store credit for it, and then sticker it for $29.99?
 
[quote name='cranguy']Did Gamestop give them $0.50 in store credit for it, and then sticker it for $29.99?[/quote]

I don't think so, they probably used it themselves.
 
I usually stop at a store after my yard sale run to cool off and get something to eat, so I wash my hands then, I am a pretty big hand washing freak so I don't usually touch things that are suspect. Not a big fan of hand sanitizer here either, it burns and I don't like the smell.
 


GameCube Games
Capcom Vs. SNK 2 EO (Complete) - $2
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (Complete) - $2
Resident Evil 4 (Complete) - $5

Playstation Games
Point Blank (Disc Only) - $1
Capcom Vs. SNK Pro (Disc & Manual) - $1
King of Fighters '99, The (Disc & Manual) - $1
Marvel Super Heroes Vs. Street Fighter (Disc & Manual) - $1

First sale I went to which I got to at about 8:15. Everything was IAP I didn't even try and haggle has the prices were good for a yardsale IMO and I saw my one friend's bother at the sale when I got to it as it was one of his friends that was selling the games.

Einhander - .75

Saw a CD wallet at this sale that had a sticker on it that said 17 Playstation games and was marked $15 for all. I looked though it and was only interested in Einhander which was the last game in the book. I took it out and asked the lady about just buying that and she said .75 which I paid. Looking back I should have also grabbed the disc only Battle Arena Toshindin 3 I saw in the book.

Diddy Kong Racing
Mario Kart 64
Super Mario 64

$5

Asked about Video Games at this sale and they brought out an N64 with about a dozen games. Wanted $20 for the system & $2 a game. I ended up offering $5 for these 3. It was kind of funny as they had trouble understanding me as their english wasen't very good. The guy went in and got this stuff and the mother of the house was basicly coming up with the asking price off the top of her head. At first she said 3 and put her hand up with 3 fingers, wasen't very clear I though they wanted $3 for everything and gave them 3 ones to which they were confused when I went to get everything and were basically like no no and then I ended up with what I did for $5. Only decent game I passed on was Mickey's Speedway USA.

Non Find Stories

Just missed a good sized N64 bundle - http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showpost.php?p=4663960&postcount=52

I stopped at a sale today that advertised DS, GB & GBA games. Everything was too expensive. Fable for Xbox $8, for a cheaper Xbox game Legends of Wrestling at $4 and about 20 GBA, GB games even some complete but mostly kids games and all marked about $7, $8 from what I saw just looking over the crap stuff quickly. I was thinking about getting Super Mario Bros. Deluxe and Rayman Advance before seeing the prices but picked them up and saw the prices on the back $11 and $7 respectively. I was at this sale today (Saturday) and the sale started yesterday (Friday) and they were lucky if they sold anything at these prices which it looked like they didn't. I don't even want to try and bother offering something like $1-3 per a game at sales when I see prices like this.

LOL I remember the one time my one friend rented a car from a company around here called "Rent-A-Wreck"(which actually has nice cars and not 'wrecks')and I was like 'the car smells like weed'.

We opened the middle console/glove compartment thing and there was a half smoked joint in there. I just kind of laughed and said 'I guess they didn't clean this car too well, huh?'.
 
I haven't been out in a while but i went to a village wide in the town of randolph near me and there was almost nothing. At most 20 sales. I did however find a Texas Instruments TI-83 calculator for 5 bucks and a Sega Game Gear for a dollar. Not sure if the Game Gear works though.
 
I had another decent weekend again. Here are the hauls.

I picked these up at an interesting sale. There were no games she knew of but was surprised when I found Super Mario 3 with all her books. I offered her $0.25 for 4 comic strip style books and the game and she took it with no problem.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/mirpkered/2708483582/

I pulled up to this sale and was immediatly discouraged by the amount of baby clothes there were. However, as a devout gamer, I followed my instinct to ask about games. She immediatly said no but then she loked over at ther freind also assisting with the sale and asked her. She came back with a large box of games. I looked through it quick and offered $7 for the box and she took it. I got:

Yobo NES (no cables)
NES Controllers (x2)
NES Zapper
Alien Syndrome
Klax
Rygar
Legend of Zelda
Karnov
Thundercade
Metroid
Skate or Die
SMB/DH
Terra Cresta
Dragon Warrior
Clash at Demonhead
Bionic Commando
Contra
Kid Icarus
Ikari Warriors
Legendary Wings
Jackal

I was excited when I got this since I noticed kid icarus and terra cresta after I got home with the box. Fantastic!

http://www.flickr.com/photos/mirpkered/2707636109/

I have never seen VIC-20 games before until I went to this Goodwill. I picked up four Vic-20 games:

Dig Dug
Gorg
Omega Race
Centipede

I gave $12 for all of them but was not disappointed. Pretty awesoem find I felt.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/mirpkered/2707569537/

I went to a thrift store I visit often and found a few games hiwever only 2 stood out. I picked up Legend of Legaia and Red Alert. There was a catch though... Legaia was just a case and the Red Alert game only had disc 2. I gave $2 for both since I have a disc only copy of Legaia at home and disc 1 for Red Alert. Worked out quite well.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/mirpkered/2707566791/

This was a good find for starting out. I went to the sale as it advertised a playstation, so I went to the sale in hopes that There would be some games there. However when the asking price for a complete boxed PSOne was only $5, I bit. I also Picked up the Bon Jovi CD 'This Left Feels Right' which is a decent album. I gave $5 for both and was on my way.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/mirpkered/2708381802/

I went to a pawn shop that was open and found some cool stuff. Most of all though, I picked out 5 games to add to my colleciton.

TMNT Tournament Fighters (Genesis)
Boogerman (Genesis)
Worms Armageddon (PS Disc Only)
Treasure Master (NES Cart Only)
Shinobi 2 (Game Gear Cart Only)

I ended up giving $6 for all of it. No other real story except it was a good deal.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/mirpkered/2707561273/

I found this at another goodwill in the town I was staying in this weekend. I picked up a complete copy of Solstice for the NES. It was only $4 as well.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/mirpkered/2707558319/

I went to this sale but no games were in sight. However, I asked and was rewarded. This lady brought out 5 games she had, all of which were sports. However I picked out 2 that were special sport games:

Mario Golf
Mario Tennis

I CIF'ed $2 and was on my way to another hopeful YS score.

That PS1 for $30 is NOT a good deal at all, unless the other 2 games are really valuable (complete FFVII black label, Dragon Warrior 7, Ogre Battle, Tactics Ogre, Suikoden 2, etc.). I assume the Pam Anderson game is VIP (unless they made one for Barbed Wire), pure trash. RE3 is not hard to find.
 
I'm very excited for tomorrow. This is only my second time going yard saling all year and there are lots of sales including two multi-family sales, so it should be a pretty good day!
 
It aint lookin good for my town tomorrow.. Only 1 advertised .. We'll see though .. Next week is the mack daddy of all yard sales .. Longest in the US
 
Hmm, thinking of hitting up a yardsale, the advertised ones seem to be in a concentrated area about a 20 min drive or so, not sure if I wanna just drive around my area or go there.
 
Yay! I showed my friend with a car the amazing finds I've gotten and he's gonna give me a ride yard saling. ^_^ No more biking this week.
 
Only yard sale find: Cib super scope six for $1. After I purchased this, I was walking back to the car and found the top of the box was splattered with bird poop. It smelled of cat, too. Good find!?!
 
Yard sale finds .. Nothing this week
Flea market sale: Nothing AT ALL (Flea market I went to wanted 50 bucks for any old system(PS1, NES, SNES, N64, Atari) only no cords or controllers.. they wanted 20 for SNES 15 for NES and 50 for N64 games .. RIP OFF ...) They did have the running pad for the NES for 50 .. Passed..

No luck for me this week .. Maybe next week
 
Its really weird, but I only found like 5 sales. One had for sale a 360 XBOX SNES
NES and 32x. They were asking 5 for the 32x but it was missing the power cord and the thing to put it on genesis 1 which I have so I didn't bite. Everything else was outrageous prices, but I managed to get these games for $3 total.
SNES: Mega Man X
The Pagemaster
Street Fighter II
Gradius III
All cart only
 
[quote name='willc23']Complete strike out today. Saw a PS2 for $50, PS1 for $15, and a NES for $2. Already have too many NES.[/quote]
You can never have enough NES's :p

As for me, rained out today, hopefully I'm hitting up the flea market tomorrow.
 
I got a sega genesis with sonic and all the cords and stuff, 1 nes controller, a nes power supply, and a box full of misc. wall warts and phone chargers for 2 bucks.
 
Friday

I picked up Ridge Racer (PS1) and Street Skate (PS1) for $0.50 each

A Sega Genesis Model 1 with 3 games (RC Pro Am, Sonic 2, and Super Monaco II) and 3 controllers + a complete n64 with two controllers and boxed games including LoZ: OoT (Collector's Edition), LoZ: MoJ (Collector's Edition), DK64, Diddy Kong Racing, and the W-golf game all for $20. The lady was also selling a Gamecube with games for $25. The games were Star Fox Adventures, LoZ: Ocarina of Time, and LoZ: Wind Waker (K-Mart Edition) and all were in mint condition. I asked if she would just sell the games. She replied with $5 and I took it immediately which was stupid. When I got home, both discs in Star Fox and OoT were fine, but the disc was missing in the Wind Waker case! I bet it was in that boxxed GameCube and I forgot to check it, because I was already too excited with the Genesis and n64 finds.

Microsoft Return of the Arcade $0.50

Halo 3 $5.00
