Finds 9-8-23
The previous weekend to this was uneventful, everyone waiting for the fall festival that was happening on this weekend. I got out on Friday beating most of the crowd to some deals.
First stop was a doozie. Everything in these first four pictures were from the same sale. Each of the pics were individual transactions, he started giving me deals after I had picked up a few lots.

Guy apparently loved smoking Camels and could prove it with all the Camel point swag he had available. Included are a '57 Chevy ash tray, cigarette box style lighter, classic style tin, Camel card game, Coke fridge magnet, Camel pool Eight Ball, branded Swiss army knife and a cigarette shaped lighter. Everything in this pic was $12.

He previously owned a video store in the 80's, early 90's. It turned out to be the same store I purchased over 300 video store posters from back in March or April of this year. The guy running the sale sold the store and it only stayed open for another 4-5 years afterwards. I bought the posters from the guy that bought the store and it's contents late last year. Anyway, these tapes are from that same store. It was $2 each for VHS, games and $1 each for cassettes and DVDs. The Soulkeeper and Jack Frost 2 VHS have the lenticular covers. Everything pictured here was $18.

On top of the cassettes shown in the previous pic, I picked up these. He had a huge lot of them for $1 each but I'd bought so much he sold all these to me for $7. Great selection of his personal collection.

Some CDs at $1.00 each. Again, since I had picked up so much, he gave me a small deal on these at $10 for the lot. This guy had great taste in music.

This was a mix of good and bad. I found these cases in a tub and immediately thought I hit the jackpot. Unfortunately, the only cases that actually had games in them were the PS2 and White Line Fever DVD. I asked the lady running the sale if she knew if they had them. She then asked another woman who essentially questioned why she was being asked. Long story short I didn't get the games. Cases are harder to get than the games at this point though, so I'll fill them eventually. I've never seen the slipcover for the Gameboy player before. Paid $3 for the cases and $1 each for the PS2 games and movie for $6 total.

This sale had multiple tables full of huge totes of movies. The prices were tiered with no obvious rhyme or reason. $2, $3, or $4 for regular movies and $5 for multi-movie sets. I was able to pull a lot of OOP and obscure stuff from the $2 section, only one over that threshold was the Drive-in Cult Classics at $5. The 360 controller is in pretty good shape and was only $3. Spent a total of $42 here. Expensive weekend already!

These all came from different sales. The Tomy Pyraminx was $1, sealed Back 4 Blood PS5 was $5, Sony Cybershot was talked down to $3, sealed copy of Lolita was $1, Metal Gear and Ghost Recon were also $1 each.

Last stop of the day was a surprise. Came across this top loading Sanyo Betacord 4400 Betamax. Sticker said "make offer". I was pretty much broke at this point so I offered $5, which was accepted.
