Considered going to a fairly promising sale an hour away on Saturday, but reconsidered and ended up sticking close to home. Can't complain too much with my decision, as I had a decent day.
DS Lite was $12, Grandia, Squirtle, and sealed Creepy Crawlers set were each $1. All from different sales, nothing really noteworthy about any of them. Passed on a lot of junk xbox/ps2 games, and got beat to a pokemon card collection by about 3 or 4 minutes.
Thanks to this thread for pointing this Hero Quest game out recently; I probably would have passed on it otherwise. It's complete with all pieces (1 or 2 are chipped, but its in great, complete shape otherwise). Will try to Craigslist it for $60.
Same sale, I dumbly passed on a Teletubbies plush lot that I could have made $50 or $60 on (realized after looking it up later). So I stop by Monday after work and see that a lot of their stuff is left in their yard under a big tarp. I ring their doorbell and ask if I can take a looksie, they say go for it. They also go on to say that everything is going to the dump, so take whatever I want. Though the teletubbies are long gone, I proceed to haul all of the books and cds left to the local used book store for $120 in credit.
I normally try to sell items on my own without trading them into middlemen, but these items were low value books and CDs. I don't have time to list, pack, and ship a book/CD to make $2 or $3 on it. Instead, i'll convert the credit to games (their game prices tend to be fair for a physical store, at or a little less than online), and sell those. This find ended up being my find of the week; hope I can beat it this Saturday.
