Official 2010 Yard Sale Thread

Went to a yard sale and the guy had like 200 NES games(including Tengen Tetris and CIB Mario 2), 2 NES consoles, Power Glove and a PSP w/4 games. Got it all for $250. CML for NES lowball as that was about $200 more then I planned on spending (seriously 200 games at 1 yard sale).
 
[quote name='Macheezmo']yeah, what mistymayem said... how about some stories here? Were they just sitting out? Did you have to ask? Haggle at all? I love seeing people's finds but I like to hear the stories behind them too.[/QUOTE]

Sorry, lately I get so burnt out after taking the photos, creating thumbnails, uploading, etc., that I usually just drop a quick note about my faves for the day and call it good. But! Since you asked... :D

The box was indeed sitting out, along with several other similar boxes; some with VHS tapes (which the seller excitedly offered to me after I told her I'd buy the games -- I declined), others with your usual odds and ends: stuffed animals, dishes, toys. Like I mentioned earlier, either someone had them all in a window at some point, or they've been brought out to every yard sale she's had for the last 5 years, because some of the games were a little faded.

Anyway, as I walked up, some guy and his kid were looking through the box, and the dad had a couple of cartridges in his hand, including Zelda: LttP, which is actually what caught my eye in the first place. He asked the lady how much she wanted for them. She said two bucks each. Well, at this point, I figured he was definitely gonna buy the pair he was holding, so I decided I'd better hurry up and get in there and grab out some titles I wanted before he nabbed all the "good ones". As I'm hurriedly looking alongside him, he asks the lady how much she wanted for the whole box, which kinda bugged me, but also sounded like something I would do, so could I really blame him? She stared at the box for a moment and replied with "fifty bucks". I figured this could go either way. After thinking it over for a few seconds, he slowly put the games in his hand back in the box, stood up, and moved on. My turn!

I looked through to see if there were indeed enough decent titles to make it worth that much, and began to notice a ton of sports titles. I thought about pointing out how little the sports games were worth and start the haggling there, but I skipped right through to the offer and told her I'd give her $30, expecting her to come back with $40 (or a big, fat "No."). She hemmed and hawed a bit, but finally accepted -- no haggling required. In hindsight, considering the selection and condition, I think thirty bucks is pretty fair.

The NES system/games bundle was originally $10. I offered six and we settled on eight. This seller also had some Playstation games, but none of them were of any interest to me (Spec Ops, Medal of Honor, a couple Maddens, bleh).

The Dreamcast bundle was haggled down from $35. I originally only wanted a handful of the games, but the guy selling was unwilling to split it up. I actually offered him $15 for three of the games (since that was all I wanted for my collection), pointing out to him that he could easily sell the system and remaining games for another $20, or more. He was having none of it. Go figure that he was willing to basically sell the rest of it for $10 then, if you think about it.

Also, if you've been following the thread for a while, you'll know that I keep saying I'm going to stop buying Dreamcasts. I need to take a photo of all of my Dreamcast systems and controllers; it's getting ridiculous.

I'll try to post more stories for future finds. I used to, but I've fallen out of habit.
 
so allyourblood, do you flip most of the systems to fund the game collecting or do you have stacks on non-dreamcast retrosystems too?
 
[quote name='TLFerrill']so allyourblood, do you flip most of the systems to fund the game collecting or do you have stacks on non-dreamcast retrosystems too?[/QUOTE]

I'm supposed to flip them -- at least, that's what I tell myself to do -- but I get so lazy with systems that I almost never get around to it. So yes, I have giant, hulking stacks of most retro systems. You can almost gauge the rarity of a system around here by how many I've got: Dreamcast and Genesis are the most common, followed closely by SNES, NES, and Sega CD.

There are some consoles that I've never seen at a yard sale, like the Turbo Duo (someday, someday!!!), or any of the Neo Geo consoles (I bought my AES from Craigslist) which blows my mind a bit, because I have been to literally thousands of yard sales over the years. I once found an X'Eye but turned it down because it was incomplete, pretty dirty, and $25. I've regretted that one for a long time, as I've never seen another one since.

Give me a little time and I'll post a photo of my consoles, if I can round them all up.

Found a bunch of Genesis & Saturn stuff this week as well as a mint copy of Lunar. It's a shame I won't keep any of this stuff as it is freaking mint.

Boca Raton area. I am flipping all of this on Ebay as I do not collect Sega. In retrospect, I should have put some of this stuff up on here but I am relatively new here and still figuring out the trading forums.

The biggest thing here in South Florida is beating the Haitians to the yard sales. They are yard sale masters, I guess it is in their culture where they come from.

This. You may have heard of a huge earthquake there? Well a lot of them immigrate to South Florida, fall in love with classic games and go to yard sales to buy them up. No, really they just like to grab them to flip at flea markets.

Very disappointing. I would have happily bought more than half of it off you. I just don't "do" ebay auctions anymore, because I don't like competing with sites like esnipe.

[quote name='TiKi2']Hey ash burton are you able to find stuff at the sales every weekend?[/QUOTE]

Yes. What I do is plan ahead, I check craigslist for garage sales (searching for the terms games, video games, nintendo ect.) I pick the few that are there and head out early in the morning. I also do a fair share of driving, finding the unlisted ones usually reaps the most benefits. Also, try to key in on community garage sales, it's much easier to find more vendors and improves your chances of finding something. Last thing, ask about games, it can't hurt and you never know what people have laying around in their garage.

It takes time and effort but just this month I picked up 3 nes systems, 2 snes systems, 2 N64's a Saturn and countless games. I flip most and pad my collection with the ones I want. Most of what I own was free because I make a profit selling the stuff I don't want. Here's a few pics from the last few months and btw, where are you in SF?

SNES min: 25 W/ Games SMW, Donkey Kong Country Ect.

SNES: $15 Had about 10 games or so nothing great

Goldeneye Sealed: $5 could not believe I found this

358037350_o.jpg


But my best find so far is not video game related, I found an old Strawberry Shortcake still sealed and decided to pick it up for my wife. She looked it up and it turned out to be the rarest Strawberry Shortcake in the world! I sold it for over $800!!! That helped fund my garage sales for the rest of the year.

OMFG you should see how they do it in LA. And I'm not going to say it's "Mexicans" as it's the general "lower income Latino/Hispanic" population.

At least you get a $5 bill over there. Here I've seen them try to haggle 90%+ off asking price (like offering $1 for a bundle of clothes that is a great deal already at $5-10 total), and pay for $5 or more in items using spare change...nickels, dimes, and pennies mostly...or nasty crinkly singles that look like they were smuggled through someone's rectum.

Not to mention the gypsy type behavior they commonly pull - bringing 10+ people at once to swarm a yard sale using a few of them to preoccupy/distract the seller(s) while the others 5 finger stuff. Anything valuable you need to keep locked up and secure, too...or it's adios!

--------------------

Oustanding, Ash! And your advice is spot on, on all counts and exactly the M.O. I follow when I have to opportunity to hit the sales. Also, remember the Cash in Face (CiF) method and keep separate amounts in different pockets, carry lots of singles/different bills, and maybe leave a business card with the people who say they'll check for games (or get their number/email).
 
Due to going full time at my job that makes me work both Saturday and Friday, I have had no time to hit sales this year... I got my wisdom teeth out first thing this morning so I had time to go out afterwards, I only found several FREE dreamcast games...the only other find i have had this year was a set of the original 4 .hack games and strat guides for 12 that I found at 4:00 pm on my way home from work afew Saturdays ago, paid 12 flipped for $160!! gotta love it, trying to decide if i should sell my personal copies after that!!

IMHO you should hold onto them, particularly if you have a mint complete set. I think it's going to be very hard to find a complete set in a few years as Gamestop's supply gets raided. Parts 3 and 4 are not easy to come by.
 
Hey ash I try to plan ahead I C&P all sales I want to goto from craigslist and print it out, but I'm in miami everything gets snatched up quick or there usually is nothing. Plus I hate to haggle in spanish LOL. Sweets finds man. And that is awesome on the strawberry shortcake. Usually I'm in a rush to find games I never really look at the other stuff they have. I will now. thanx for sharing.

Kicked of my yard sale searching about 3 weeks ago.

Only gaming related stuff I've found was a box of SNES games like Killer Instinct and some others (cart only). No price. Probably cheap, but I don't have a SNES. Also the games weren't in great shape.

This week was better. A sale I almost passed up had these:

Xbox 360 (complete):
Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts $5
Lego Batman/Pure $5

Passed on:
Dead Space for $5

Yeah, I've had that happen plenty. Plus it's kind of embarrassing and they get annoyed more often then you'd think. If they have any vaguely gaming-related stuff I'll ask if there's more but that's it. What can I say, I'm a shy person, although I can whip out a CIF when I need to.

Ok, today's stuff.

mrratw.png


First finds of the day:
:psp: EA Replay - $2
:psp: Midway Arcade Treasures: Extended Play - $2

Game Boy carrying case
Game Boy (original)
Game Boy games: Pokemon Red, Pokemon Yellow, Dragon Warrior Monsters, The Flintstones, Yoshi's Cookie, Wizards & Warriors X: Fortress of Fear
$5 all

The Game Boy case is super cool. Pokemon games work fine so they're eBay-bound. The GB has a Wario sticker on the front, and includes not only the battery cover, but 4AA batteries. Nice!

At the same sale where I got the GB, I passed on a yellowed SNES with no games, a stack of generic PS2 games (sports, Medal of Honor type stuff) and some hilariously overpriced 360 games (I'm talking $30 each). On a worse day I might've bought some but I'm trying to have more self-control. Anyway. Here's a pic of the Game Boy kit with the lid closed.

6zsv8z.png

PS1 games: MediEvil, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater (GH), Fighting Force, JetMoto $1 each
PC: The Sims + 5 expansions - $5
2GB Memorex USB stick - $1

Nothing much to tell about these.

xm4m6o.png


This one was a surprise.

Sega Genesis model 1 w/ 2 controllers, AC, and RF adapter
Games (all cart-only): Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic 2, Taz-Mania, Spider-Man, The Tick, Mortal Kombat II, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Triple Play '96, PGA Tour Golf
Sega Genesis Cleaning Kit (boxed and pretty complete)

$1 all

Now I know there's nothing too great in there, but it's pretty rare for me to get something like this for so cheap. All the extra Genesis systems and games taking up space in my house.. I wish I could find some actual decent SNES games instead.

Sweets finds N3UROPOD.

This is all I got today 50 cents



Passed on complete colecovision w/3 games they wanted $30 I didn't couter.
Also wierd sale , was to benefit some disabled kid of home owner. I saw 8 boxed genesis asked how much they said $3 each , I wasn't going to haggle this sale so I just ok thank and keep looking around then they point at the sign and said this isn't for profit. I just left I didn't have much loot on me anyways.
 
You can never tell when one of those so called non-profit sales is for real or not, they could just be keeping all the money for themselves. You should also be careful with charity donation stands at the mall they could be a scam. If you want to donate to something your best off donating directly to the organization through a website or directly to them.

Today was the first yard sale day for me and I only picked up one GBA game, dexter's lab for 1$. I did see a lot of things that were good prices and not a lot of overpriced stuff so that is good.
 
Finally had a breakthrough today:

Gator's Revenge (GB)
RC Pro-Am (GB)
Original Game Cube Controller (purple)

All for $5. The sale had advertised Atari/Nintendo/Genesis stuff, I figured by the time we got there it would all be gone. All the systems were in rough shape, all were just jammed in boxes - there were 3 Atari 2600 systems that looked like they had been sitting in a barn (covered in dust & just indescribable crud), a lot of the controllers looked broken. In the bag of games I found the GB games, so I took them out figuring I could CIF just them. The GC controller was found in the Genesis box, another jumbled mess of crap. I laid the games & controller down with a $5 bill and they took it. Now to look for GC games for the Wii!

At a yard sale a couple of weeks ago I bought Phantasy Star Universe for the Xbox 360 for 50c but it has a concentric circle scratch... Anyone have a fix for these?

Not a yard sale find, but bought a Guitar Hero guitar for Xbox 360 for $4 last night. It's missing the USB plug, but I had the same type at home that was on its way out.
 


World of WarCraft Action Figure - Tauren Shaman (New) - $1 (IAP)

Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land - $1 (IAP was $2)

Dynamite Heady - $3 & tax (Actually got this at the pawn shop while out yardsaling)

Non Find BS
First day actually out hitting the pavement this year and extremely uneventful with the finds, I kind of had a bad feeling about today and the first advertised sale with my good luck being used up on Thursday. I got out the door early enough to get to the first sale a few minutes before 8 which advertised "Complete Nintendo System" ended up being an N64 with 4 games (NBA Jam Hangtime, Wave Race 64, Pilot Wings 64 and one other game I can't remember) it was marked $20 and looked pretty dirty so I didn't even bother trying to make an offer since I didn't need anything for my collection.

I did get to about 30 sales today but saw very little video game stuff today for even a slow day, a few PS2 games at one sale, a few PC games at another and the house I got Wario Land at a few Xbox games & 2 guides. When I asked about games at the house with the WarCraft toy the lady mentioned being a retro gamer and an older lady also at that house mentioned being a World of WarCraft addict lol. At one house a guy mentioned selling a 5200 last year at his yardsale and how he wished he didn't since it was worth $200 :(, everything at this sale looked pretty dirty so I could only imagine this 5200 being worth more like $400 ;) Only one house mentioned something I missed when I asked about video games, a PS2 from the day before.

BS
I found all of this at a yardsale that started on Thursday and advertised "Original Nintendo & games" I actually made a list of all of the addresses of sales I've been to over the last few years as to skip houses I've been to before and more so addresses that have a yardsale every year or 2, 3 times a year. They didn't give an address for this sale but mentioned being by a landscaping business and it ended up being the house I was thinking as I remember asking about video games a few years ago at a previous sale they had and being told that they owned a NES with about 20 games.

I got to the sale about 10 maybe 15 minutes early and noticed a few cars and that the sale was going in full force with steady traffic already. It looked like nothing (video game related) sold yet as I saw the NES stuff marked $70 for all & SNES games $4 each. I grabed the complete Mario Kart & Super Game Boy and look over the NES stuff briefly. I see a guy running the sale and offer $50 for all the NES stuff & the 2 SNES games I had and he took the offer (easier then I expected actually) and when I asked he let me have the misc boxes and manuals which were all together in a little box. I asked about the magazines and he said I could have them all for $2 but I ended up countering $10 for the mags and some more SNES games (the rest that I got minus NBA Live, American Gladiators & Jurrasic Park) he offered up the last 3 games for $5 more and I offered to meet him in the midde and he said $12 would work.

It wasen't a dirt cheap bundle but nicer (IMO) then the $50 NES with games I got at a yardsale last year with the complete games this time. This was my second sale this year and I was definately gun shy with making a lower offer with $70 on the NES stuff and it being something mentioned in the ad but I should have offered %50 at first as I probably could have done a little better, the guy was serious about getting rid of the stuff and BSing he did mention "not wanting to bring it back inside" which is one way you can clearly tell that somebody is serious about moving stuff and won't sit on it just because they can't get asking price or close to.

Non Find BS From 2 Weeks Ago
I saw a sale on Craigslist 2 weeks ago that mentioned something like "lots of old school Nintendo tapes". First sale I went to this year and not much going on that week so I made a special trip out to see if it's anything decent. I get to the sale about 10-15 minutes early and see everything it's about 40 some NES games and a few misc games for different older systems. No price I look it over and ask and it's the only 2600 game $1 (Donkey Kong) and the rest $5 each or 5 for $20 I look them over a bit more and offer $30 for all of them which was politely declined. I asked the guy what the best he would do was and he counted the games up quickly and said he'd do $100 and BSing with him that he might do better later if they don't sell. I thanked him and didn't buy anything but was thinking I should have offered $5 for the 2 games I don't have Vindicator & Big Nose (which I didn't have but do now) or at least Donkey Kong for a buck so that I at least got something.

Some good games but most of them not worth $5 Kid Icarus being the most valuable game online that I saw and only 2 other games that were worth (barely) more then $5 online. I also saw Donkey Kong 3 for the first time used in the wild around me at this sale also which isn't rare but is surely considered uncommon to some degree. This guy was selling abunch of extras I gathered talking to him and I would guess didn't do nearly as well as he was thinking selling them.

Yard saling in DE last summer was like yard sale heaven. My competition was a bunch of middle class white people who have zero interest in video games.
 
Cherry picked a few things:
Atari 2600: Ghost Manor & MOTU: The Power of He Man. Both cart only .50 each. They had a console looked ok, but wanted $10 for it with about 5 other games. Nothing else interesting in the bundle so I asked if they would sell those 2 seperately.
Sega Genesis: TMNT: The Hyper Stone Case, case, no manual-$1. Again was a bundle, that had a Genesis and a 32X. They wanted $30, but I already have the consoles and the games selection was heavy on sport. Since NONE of the games had manuals I just picked the one that appealed the most.
Grabbed The Lone Gunmen complete series for $2 at the same place. It seems to be a short lived X-Files spin-off, and looked interesting.
 
i bought a brand new lazy boy from a part hatian,mexican,cuban,african american,canadien, lady for 8 dollars this week.

the chair was brand new and clean, i looked it up was 300 new
also picked up a ds lite and 4 games for 50 dollars. the ds was hardly used, the guy bought it for his dad. got brain age 2, mario kart, and 2 shovel ware titles. btw solitare is addictive .
 
It's getting harder and harder to find game related stuff at yard sales here. And when I do, they're usually saying "Oh, the ebay price is.." Once I hear that, I just leave. Sad.

Also what I've learned, That when someone says "I paid $$ for that" or "that cost $$ new" ,they want to much. I've noticed this lately. Saw this yesterday at some sales on some non gaming stuff.
