I didn't have much luck at all this weekend except for one pretty good deal. Friday I went out to a community sale that advertised nintendo games. One sale had a couple NES games and I picked up Zelda, Dr. Mario, and Donkey Kong Classics for $2. The sale that had the games advertised had some...

Yeah, I'll hold out. I've been to a ton of yard sales last summer and never got a GC so I'm getting overly anxious.

I saw a game store that's selling off their game cubes for 15 bucks on craigslist. Should I buy any or can they be found for cheaper at garage sales? I know they usually only sell for 30 anyways. It's a 30 minute drive one way which is what is holding me back. (I was also there earlier this...

I found an ad today on craigslist for a game store that was going out of business. Someone bought up most of the SNES and N64 games, but I picked up a bunch of PS1, genesis, dreamcast, and saturn games pretty cheap. I didn't know whether anything was good for a resell, but I just got a bunch...

Out of curiosity, how many of you guys have found great games on Saturdays from sales that have been happening since Friday? Sometimes I see signs when I'm driving around on a Saturday for sales that are Fri + Sat and I usually just skip them because I assume all the good stuff would be gone.

That's what I figured. I thought if I couldn't get the console to work, at least I have those.

Yeah, she told me it still plays games, but it has hard time reading them and they just got tired of it. So I just haven't experienced any problems yet. What I have noticed is some people have systems that are downright broken and they still try to charge you $50 when you can find working...

I got a "broken" original xbox with three working first party controllers and all the hookups for $10. It was supposed to have problems reading disks as the lady said she just got tired of messing with it. I took it home, hooked it, and it read my only 3 xbox disks fine. I tried a couple...

Not much luck today. I had a guy who I believe was a reseller buy a PS2 and some games right as I was getting to a sale for $35. The guy asked for 45 and the costumer countered with how he picked these up for like 25-35 and the seller accepted a lower price. I checked out the other games and...

Nice find sinnbox! I would have needed a clean pair of pants if I stumbled accross that.

Yeah, that sounds very similar to me. I have to limit my sales and hope I can at least make my gas money back from a good deal here and there.

I'm not going to argue with you. I'm getting tired of defending myself against unwarranted "attacks" on my intentions. I have calmly and reasonably addressed all of these concerns and I can appreciate where you are coming from. To sum up what has already been said: I *have* done my own...

?

Yeah, that's got to be disappointing. I guess I figured if I was chatting with some friends, I'd have no problem sharing anything I know, and saw this site as a collection of guys who will help each other out in a similar fashion. The risk with the internet however is that it's there for...

Great site. This is exactly the type of thing I've been looking for.
