Today's finds:
Mike Tyson's Punch Out, Tecmo Bowl, Tecmo Super Bowl, 2 dust sleeves: $2
Double Dragon, Double Dragon II, NES power brick, 2 NES controllers: $5
Not too exciting of a day, but I was pretty happy to find the NES controllers and power brick, since they'll complete an NES I picked up last month that didn't come with them. I also picked up a 4-way A/V switch for $1, which should be pretty useful for all the things I have to hook up to my TV. Other things I passed on included a number of Xbox games, the usual sports games, and a box with an N64, a Dual Shock 2, and third party controllers for the Genesis, Dreamcast, and PS1, all of it pretty dirty. It was marked $3, but the N64 didn't come with any controllers or an A/V cable, so I passed. I probably would have taken it if it had the expansion pak or if I hadn't found a Dual Shock 2 last week.

Today was a pretty good day, but not as amazing as last week.
First find of the day were the Gameshark and a Code Breaker for GBA. I know these got fairly hard to find after they stopped making them, so they're a nice find. The lady also had a radio attachment for GBA, which I declined.
Vagrant Story was by far my gem for the day. This was at a sale with a young lady who was selling all baby stuff. I asked her about games and she said, "My husband has a whole bunch, but I don't know if he wants to sell any." She went inside to ask. He came to the door and said "I've only got one old-school Playstation game that I want to get rid of. It's called Vagrant Story. I just never got around to it. Interested?" Yes please!
Vagrant Story is by FAR one of my favorite PS1 titles, but I actually didn't have the guide in my collection, so this was a great find for my collection. He asked $5 and I paid, no questions asked.
I passed up a LOT of Sega stuff today... Game Gear w/ 2 games $5, Genny 1 no games $5, Genny 1 w/ 1 game $5. I probably could've haggled, but I really didn't want/need any of it.

I haven't had much time recently to update my finds but here are the highlights of the past couple weeks.
I went to the pawn shop after work and found that the owner had gotten some new items in. I ended up picking up:
Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition (GC)
Suikoden IV (PS2)
Final Fantasy Tactics (PS)
The best part is that I paid $15 for all three of them. I already had the Zelda disc, but I knew that it was worth way more than $5.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/mirpkered/605449577/
This was at the very first sale I went to. These 2 GBC games were marked $2 each but I ended up giving her $3 for both. They were both immaculate on the inside as well as the box being in extremely good condition. I got:
Elmo's 123's
Bob the Builder
I was pretty excited since these are the first game items I have really seen in a while in this good of condition.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/mirpkered/605565556/
This was a refreshing find after a drought of not finding any games... I pulled up to this house and saw a stack of saturn games. She was asking $0.25 each so I grabbed all 10 of them and gave her $2. I ended up getting:
NFL Quarterback Club 96
Center Ring Boxing
Madden 97
Wing Arms
Off-World Interceptor Extreme
Daytona USA
Sega Rally Championship
NBA Action
Virtua Cop
Virtua Fighter
This was a pretty decent find I thought. No stellar games but for $2, you can't go wrong.

I've bee yard saling with my old boss from work and he called me from this yard sale. on his way over to meet me at my house. He told me that there was an N64 with some games and he told me a few of the games. I asked him to pick it up and I would pay him when he got to the house for it. Upon closer inspection, this is what was scored:
Jet Force Gemini
007 Goldeneye
Killer Instinct Gold
NFL Blitz 2000
Star Wars Episode 1 Racer
Star Wars Rogue Squardron
Star Wars Shadows of the Empire
Star Wars Battle for Naboo
Rugrats in Paris: The Movie
Super Mario 64 (complete)
It also had a memory card and also a black controller. It was a little high at $25 but I am only keeping what I don't have and selling the rest.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/mirpkered/605454357/
So this sale is strictly baby stuff when I pull up. However, I start looking and there is a box marked $1. I went over to take a look and found an intellivision with 6 complete games:
Triple Action
Bowling
NHL Hockey
Las Vegas Poker and Blackjack
Star Strike
Space Hawk
Needless to say, for $1 I picked this up pretty quick.

CAGiversary!
Just got back from the flea market. Woke up at 6am to beat my competition there. And I did, and I got some great stuff.
First there were about 10 games on a table from different systems, I picked out these:
N64:
- Body harvest
SNES:
- Wing Commander
NES
- Shadowgate
- Ikari Warriors
Total: $4
And for the other purchase I saw a table with a bunch of boxed N64 games. He wanted $2 a piece. I said how about $10 CIF for all of them. He said OK. There are some great games in there, all are complete except 007 and Conker Bad Fur Day (worth $10 by itself). Most of the games still had their plastic sleave in the box too.
N64:
- WWF: No Mercy
- Tetris Sphere
- Turok 2
- Aidyn Chronicles
- Conker's bad Fur Day
- 007: The World is not Enough

Not a yard sale find... just a little something from the Book & Music Exchange:
FF Origins guide - $5
Taito Legends - $10
Sega Dreamcast gun - $15
No funny story... except that that Dreamcast gun has been sitting there for years. I bought it to play Virtua Cop 2 on the Smash Pack.

Minor finds today. Did 'nt plan on YS'ing today but could'nt pass up some signs on the way to get the Sunday paper
Happy Feet DVD
TOTAL - $2
This sale had several DVD's but most I had. The lady wanted $3. I tried reapeatedly to CIF $2 to no avail. I paid with a $20 and the lady counted out accidentaly, $18 in singles for change. As I was counting it she asked if it was right. I said "no" and as we counted it again and it totaled $18 I went to hand her back $1. She was so smitten with my honesty she told me to keep it.
SMW2
TOTAL - $2
Asked for games at this sale and the lady came out with 3 empty NES boxes and some crap boxed SNES game and SMW2. She wanted $5 each. I CIF'd $2 which she initially declined countering with $4. I told her $4 was a little to rich for me to which she responded that $2 was a little to lean for her. I smiled and told her that she would really make my day if she took $2 for it. She said "Well in that case OK" and while there's quite a bit of day, so far this buy really did make it.

Looked outside my window this morning, and there was a yard sale right across the street! I went over, asked about games, they brought out a few GC games. I offered $5 for these guys:
Zelda Collector's Edition and Star Wars: Rogue Leader.
Nice way to start off the day.

I have verified it works with the North American Smash Pack version of Virtua Cop 2... or it could be my particular version of the Smash Pack. Hmm.

Odd. According to SEGA back in 99 it wasnt supposed to work with N American games. I play my import HotD2 with it.

I tried it the other day and it works. The gun is quite accurate... the user, however, is not. ^^;
Here's wondering if EvilMax or Moiety even read the posts other people make in this thread. I'm not the only one to state that I don't appreciate them coming and saying "Click here to see what I got." I realize you were the the originators of this thread, but come on. Either type out what you got or don't waste our time. Several of us refuse to click your links and wait for your pages to load just to see what you got.

I'm not the only one to state that I don't appreciate them coming and saying "Click here to see what I got." I realize you were the the originators of this thread, but come on. Either type out what you got or don't waste our time. Several of us refuse to click your links and wait for your pages to load just to see what you got.[/quote]

I hate it how I can't find Dreamcast or even Turbo-Grafx 16 or 3DO stuff and people are showing it off with pictures. :lol: But it just means you gotta find them when you go out to look.
Some stuff I've learned from doing the yard-sale thing:
-Dudes in their early 20s will try to sell their stuff for more than its worth (see: the guy wanting $10 each for X-Box games even if EB/Gamestop would sell them for cheaper).
-Older guys don't really know how much games are worth so they will actually give you the best deal. $5 PC games and (this weekend at least) $2 PS2 games are where it's at. If you get a 30-year-old who's wearing a Pac-Man shirt, forget about it.
-Cul-de-sacs = video games. I don't know why, but most of the sales I've gone to at the end of cul-de-sacs have had games.
-Families with young boys are a mixed bag. You'll find crap (like Trigger Man or 007: Agent Under Fire) but then you'll find good games (like Aerobiz Supersonic or Creatures) amidst it.
-The richer the neighborhood, the more likely you'll find games. And they are usually last-gen games. Poorer neighborhoods have games as well, but they seem to be older systems/games.
Georgia really seems to suck with their yard sales.

[quote name='evilmax17']TG16 stuff is hard enough to come by, forget about PCE. I'd love to hear the story behind this. Japanese family? Hardcore import gamer?[/quote]
White dude with a Japanese wife. He told me that they go to Japan once a year to vist the wife's relatives, and that he got bored in Japan and went around to used game stores and bought up any PCE stuff he found.
He had 3 systems because he was afraid that one of the systems would die

Hi everyone, my first post here.
I only went to about 10 yardsales, because there weren't many that day, but on the last one I think I did pretty well.
They had a box with an nes and some games, and a snes. I've really wanted an nes for a long time now, so I was willing to pretty much pay whatever they wanted. I asked how much for the nes, and she replied 10 bucks, so I offered 15 dollars for it with 9 games and a zapper. I probably could have got the snes and the nes with the games for 15 dollars, but I already have an snes, and I felt they needed the money more than I did.
And just as we were heading home, we stopped in at a pawn shop just to check it out. Dissapointed with nothing good, I was on my way out the door right when the n64 logo caught my eye. Sitting there on the floor was this n64 game holder. I believe it holds 12 games, and only cost me 1 dollar plus tax, so $1.14 total. Not too bad for my first time I think.

These were my finds from Saturday, couldn't get on the computer until today:
Most of the 30+ yard sales were busts. A lot of baby clothes and other junk (used socks? ahhhhh!!!! thank god I saw no one selling used underwear last last year)
At one yard sale I spotted a PS1 and some games, but they were all sports games so I was a bit disappointed. Then I saw Tetris for the original Game Boy sitting on the table for .25, so I grabbed that.
Then I walked into another one I bit later and saw the SNES Super Scope box sitting there marked $2, and sitting on the ground was a huge box of NES games (all cart-only). As I was opening up the Super Scopebox (to find it was missing the receiver), the lady said "The games are $3 each." Then the guy said "You can take the whole box for $50. That works out to about .75 each. They go at flea markets for $5 each."
So I was "crap, these are flea market people." I looked in the box, most of it were pretty common games, but I grabbed five that stood out, hoping to knock it down to $5 for five. "Five games? that'll be $12."
So I put two that I wasnt too crazy about back in the box, and held on to Adventures of Lolo, Mega Man 3
, and Dragon Warrior III .
So I pulled a five dollar bill out of my pocket and CIF the lady for the three games. Her eyes got all big and everything when she saw the money and grabbed it from me before she even said OK.
So yeah, I scored DW3. That made my day.

Well that was dissapointing. I went out at 8, on my bike, and went to the yardsale that I saw a sign for yesterday. No video games. I then biked for 45 more minutes, all around the city looking for yardsales, and found 3 more. No games at any of them. Then to add to my bad luck, I get a flat tire. Maybe it was that black cat I saw earlier....
Do you guys think that it was because school just got out and people are at their cottages? Or was I too early?
