Rain put a damper on the couple of big community sales I was looking forward to this past weekend, but I drove through anyway just to check. A few people were out and I managed to snag a few things for $8 total. Tenchu Z is the find of the day and going into the collection.

Had another decent weekend yard saling here in Baltimore! Saturday was the day of my favorite community sale of the year in a pretty little neighborhood tucked away from the places most of the other yard salers go to. Even if I don't find anything, I always have a pleasant time. But I did...

Had another good Saturday here in Baltimore! Grabbed the games in the pic for $25 - probably overpaid but it was early in the day and I was hungry for a find. The board games came later in the day - they were $50 total but are in excellent condition. I'm hoping some of my tabletop friends can...

Community yard sales have started back up here in Baltimore, so I'm back out there again. This past weekend there was a community sale I was looking forward to, but I left after half-an-hour as it was swarmed by so many people it was causing traffic jams. I'm glad I did, though, as I was able to...

Been a minute since I posted so here's some catch up: This is from Saturday a few weeks ago. Uncharted was $5 and the NES Classic was actually free! I offered money but the seller was just trying to declutter, so I promised to pay it forward. A buddy clued me in about a friend of his who's a...

I spent Saturday morning hitting up a large community yard sale near me. I found a lot of kitschy stuff but no games, though I'm hoping to get a call back about some later. I won't bore you with pics of that stuff, but here's what I found right around the corner from my house when I was just out...

I had more thrift finds than yard sale finds this past weekend, but still grabbed some decent stuff for a decent price! I came home with everything in the pic below for $40.

No video games this week but I got something equally interesting: rare smut! I found everything in the pic in the free pile of a yard sale nearby and I grabbed Sumo Vixens because that's a legit funny name for a movie. Turns out it's out of print and pretty pricey because of that, so I'm passing...

Holiday weekends are usually pretty bad for yard sales around here, but a friend tipped me off to one happening near by that had games. Got all this for $15, but unfortunately the Ghibli set is a higher-quality Taiwanese knock-off.

A wet weekend here in Baltimore meant that most sales got rained out, but I had some good pick-ups nonetheless. First up is some games I grabbed from a local antique store/junk shop that gives me a buzz whenever they get games in. Picked up everything in the top picture for $35. The bottom...

I hit a couple of block sales here in Baltimore over the weekend - I got everything in the pics below for $50 and will hopefully be hooking up with the seller for more games soon. I was excited enough for the DS games, but friends have told me that the real find are the horror themed shirts. I'm...

They're not yard sale prices, but you still got a pretty good deal on those - assuming that they're authentic. And replacing the back shell of a SNES game is pretty easy, you just need Nintendo security bit screwdrivers and a the back shell from a game you don't care about. Take out the screws...

There was a big neighborhood festival in my area this weekend, which is always good for finding plenty of yard sales within walking distance. There weren't quite as many sales this year but I still found some fun stuff, nonetheless.

I've been a little busy this past month with Tears of the Kingdom, so here's a dump of the last few weekends of pickups! It's been a little slower than the spring, but there's still been some good finds.

We finally had a dry weekend here in Baltimore, so I went out yard saling and had the best luck I've had since probably 2018. First up was a community sale in one of the nicest areas of the city that I like to hit up every year. There were less sellers this year than in the past, but this was...

Saturday morning yard sales were kind of disappointing - I hit 20-30 houses and didn't see any competition, but there were no video games to be found. There were lots of houses that said they were holding on to old games for their adult children, and while I can respect that it gets kind of...

Saturday yard sales here in Baltimore got rained out, but Sunday was beautiful so I hit some that moved their date later by one day. First up was a community sale where I scored some goodies for the kids and this nice little Game Boy/DS lot for $25. One person mentioned maybe having some...

I went on vacation in the Shenandoah Valley last week and managed to find a few games at a local flea market for $8 total. Unfortunately a woman who usually sets up with games wasn't there due to the cold, but these were still good finds for me and are going into the collection. I don't know...

I got out to a couple of flea markets yesterday without expecting much (most markets in my area have games set at eBay prices or higher), but I was pleasantly surprised to actually find some deals. I got Lethal Weapon and Alfred the Chicken for $15 all together and have confirmed that they work...

Nothing yet! Just get everything cleaned, tested, and sorted yesterday, now comes the fun part of finding out what to do with the stuff that's not going into the collection!
