Is... is this hell?It's gonna be a while....
Only things I would like to find at a yard sale so far this year are a cheap Xbox One or a cheap iPad.
i...i think its...Indiana.Is... is this hell?
go for it doodHave a couple of sales from 2013 to put up still (yes I'm lazy and a slacker), guess I'll put them up on here if thats cool with everyone
Damn dude that's awesome! Would you be interested in trading that Dragonball and Final Fantasy?
Ok let me start this out with saying that being a mailman I work just about every Friday and Saturday so I miss out on most of the good sales in my area unless their are those occasional Sunday only sales. Anyways, I'm checking craigslist when I get home a Saturday in August(at like 3pm) and I see a post about "sale going on now" that was posted at almost noon with a picture of this huge chest full of games and dvds. Figure most will be gone by the time I get there, but to my surprise this sale is barely touched. Pick up the 2 ds systems, and a bunch of games for them and then see a few snes games sticking out of a bag buried in some empty boxes, the games were Final Fantasy 3, Super Mario All-Stars and Mortal Kombat 3.
Then going back to that big chest of games and dvd's i see super smash bros melee but it's empty, but I do find luigi's mansion and pokemon colosseum. Pick up all that and the ps2, xbox(including battlefront 2)
and xbox 360 games for 85 bucks.
After that guy tells me that he has even more stuff to pull out and to stop by tomorrow. As what time, he says maybe 11 or 12 since he doesn't like to get up early(then realize all the pot paraphernalia and say ooohhhhh) so I say ok I'll see him tomorrow. Head back there and pick up the genesis stuff, ps3 games, and 5 full bins of thomas the train stuff(for flipping purposes) for another 85 bucks. So $170 for everything.
Can make that and more on just the thomas stuff. Hope you guys enjoyed the long story
Final Fantasy 3 is probably in my top 5 games of all time, so I would have to get the deal of a lifetime to get that game out of myDamn dude that's awesome! Would you be interested in trading that Dragonball and Final Fantasy?
I have trouble with links, maybe someone can fix them.I'm getting 404'd on all the previous year thread links. Also, the 2013 thread is missing from the list!
I actually picked up 2 of those furby's(black and white ones) in box for 10 bucks a pop of craigslist earlier this year. Lady said she had them in her closet for years. If I had something like that in my closet and I had multiple kids, those things would have been open in less then 5 minutes.I have trouble with links, maybe someone can fix them.

I paid $10 for everything
Original Furby SEALED
$1 each for the games/DVD
I'm going to stop posting most of my non gaming stuff. It has been slim pickings lately and I can't give away all my secrets. But at this same sale I bought 4 items that will net $110-$130 if sold.
Yeah being in NY, we also have to wait until late spring at the earliest usually, before we have any good sales. Love to see other peoples finds in the warmer states while I wait...I would live some yard sales right now. Unfortunately I'm in michigan and its -25 with windchill right now.
I enjoy your non game posting. Keep it upI have trouble with links, maybe someone can fix them.

U should post your other board games. Good pick up on that ghostbusters gameI've reverse haggled before and told people flat out they can get more for stuff. 99% of the time I ask them their price, so if I counter lower it seems routine.

$1 each, just thought they looked cool and were in good shape
$1 RIP Egon
Music VHS tapes 25 cents each I'm a fan of these bands
80s Robocop Horizon model I think I paid $2, possibly $3 I bundled this with a M$ office home and student 2007 that still had an active key!! ($150 retail BB tag on it). I also bought some sealed boardgames not pictured, since they are not video game/fantasy related.
Anf IDK if I posed these, but I paid $1 each
Nice ghostbusters game, and yeah I wouldn't mind seeing the board games as wellI've reverse haggled before and told people flat out they can get more for stuff. 99% of the time I ask them their price, so if I counter lower it seems routine.

Gift is a ed up movie, but it was quite a find! Whats the tape next to it (the duplicate ones)?How do I put this delicately...My competition reads this thread and I want there to be something left for me if s/he beats me to a sale.
It's Jane's Addiction Soul Kiss...the one on the right is sealed, so I put in in a comic bag to keep the dust off. I have to bust out GB and check the pieces. I bought it on sight, so hopefully it is close to complete!Gift is a ed up movie, but it was quite a find! Whats the tape next to it (the duplicate ones)?
That GB game is suhweet, part of it glows in the dark if I remember correctly...
