I heard royals is fun but I haven't played it myself. I dont know much about the others. GnR is a classicGoodwill- 4 sealed games were $6 apiece, Apple keyboard was $2, cd was $1. 3 video games were from a yard sale for $1 apiece.
That CD was your best find!Goodwill- 4 sealed games were $6 apiece, Apple keyboard was $2, cd was $1. 3 video games were from a yard sale for $1 apiece.
Nice score on the DBZ 3 game. Sold a copy of mine (I have 3 copies of it) for $100 cash on offerup back in Feb.Had a couple pretty good finds yesterday, from under the nose of a reseller no less. I have the opinion that the best finds of the year are usually within the first month of garage sale season.
First highway sale of the year, got out late because I value sleeping in more than the hunt these days. Still did pretty good.

I'll start off with early day finds, Downhill Dominance was $2 and Rainbow Six Vegas was $3. Not pictured are 10 empty PS2 and Xbox cases for $1. The PS3 games, Playstation Underground and PS2 memory cards were free at a separate sale (Sports Champions is sealed).

Next are some CDs, $0.50 each. Never heard of The Oliver Syndrome.

Last stop of the day, it was almost 5pm and was at a popular spot near an interstate. Games were $5 each or 3/$12. "I've got this rare one", pulls out Snoopy vs. the Red Baron then asks if I've seen Metal Jesus' videos. "He said this is one of the best flight games". Cool man, in the meantime I've pulled Dragonball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3 and Marvel vs Capcom 2 out of a box. No idea how they were still there that late in the day. Ended up getting everything pictured for $35. Been wanting to add MvC2 to the collection for years.
Oh god, will this be the fate of my collection when I die? Donated to a thrift

Just out of curiosity, how are you planning to sell those printer ink cartridges?Yeah for the Retrons youre better off with the original OG controllers! I used the wireless one to setup my R5 then I use official NES/SNES/Genesis controllers to play..... So yeah like I said, local GW has been crazy everytime ive gone in after work. I dont remember people being that bad about a year ago about all pouncing on the rack of stuff being rolled out! The employee barely gets the thing out the door before 6 people are pulling things off and putting them in the cart. And im just watching because none of these people look like theyve probably gotten Covid shots.....judging by their chin diaper mask wearing and general trashiness looks. But I say this and Ive still got pics to show off! Helps when you dont stick to 1 interest like video games!
Pic 1- $6 Keurig K-Mini. $6 Yamaha YST-M8 speakers. Pic 2- About $149 in this pic. Tons of sealed ink, sealed Canon 5x7 shiny paper packs, sealed Xbox/GC/PS svideo composite cable, CamGear 8403A tripod, Tiger Rzone XPG handheld, Ipod Nano with cable and rubber cover, and that metal basket. Cat did not come from GW.... and he's priceless
He should be able to sell them if the inks aren't expired. Expired inks past their due date for more than 6 months will result in less low page yield or likely be dried.
I was surprised when I traded a disc copy of Wii sports at GS and got $21 credit for it.Saturday's yard sale finds were a bit more sparse and less game focused than I was hoping for, but there's some interesting stuff nonetheless. The Wii and games were $20 for the lot and the only video game related stuff I grabbed. The box of political buttons was $10 and is for a friend I have that collects. I picked up the bongos for $2 for my kiddo to play with, and the CD + Mega Man figure were $3.
Side gripe: apparently I missed a box of free PS4 games. It was probably junk, but I'm still disappointed.
PS3 stuff in general is going pretty crazy right now. I know that Best of PlayStation game is pretty pricey right now as well (if its the Tokyo Jungle one).
Sweet finds!It was a pretty craptacular weekend for yard sales here in Baltimore, so I decide to hit up a few pawn shops instead. I picked up everything in the pics below for $80, which is more than I usually spend on stuff like thrifts and yard sales but definitely worth it for these. It looked like these had all been sitting on the shelves for a while, so now I want to make way around to the rest of the pawns around here since it doesn't seem like there's anyone really hunting there.

OFF! JUST PUT A FAIR PRICE ON IT AND SET IT ON THE SHELF! Pretty soon GW will be nothing but crappy clothes, dishes, pictures, and trash! They think theyre making more money selling the good stuff elsewhere but theyre eventually going to lose customers because people want to go into a thrift store and find bargins....but speaking for dishes and "trash" electronics they didnt look up....
I don't even bother with Goodwill. I despise the business model and the website just syphons any chance of finding anything actually decentLocal GW media section hasnt had anything new in weeks so I asked an employee where all the dvds and cds were. Girl said - "all movies, cds, and books go to a warehouse and then they get sent back but we havent received anything back in almost a month."
Glasses were 50 cents apiece. Sony portable 2.2inch TV was $2. Bought it just for the novelty. It does turn on though but there are no analog TV signals to pickup.Apple keyboard and mouse- $2
What do you have that's not moving, for me 3ds, GameCube, and Wii move quick. Board games and CDs , not so much. I sell almost only on Mercari now and not having media mail as a shipping option makes it hard to sell movies, vinyl and CDs when shipping is so high
I guess im most surprised that im sitting on some valuable PS2 games, Nintendo 64 stuff, and NES bundles. I remember NES stuff not lasting over a week when Id list it. Ive got 3 bundles sitting. Ive got 6 PS2 console/game bundles. A couple 360 bundles. A bunch of random. Im at 467 listed items.
Mercari for me is hit and miss, I do like the 3 day window. But Ive had good luck locally and in fb grps for retro gaming (can send you links if you want them)
