Being sealed, Im honestly just taking the risk on some of the ink cartridges being fine. Hoping at least my money spent is made back ($130). Usually I say something in my Ebay posts about "no refunds or returns" but being this type of item I will refund if it ends up being dry. I didnt mention that because I feel like some people might get good ink and take advantage. I also posted pictures of the front and back of the box with the dates if they had any. Still feel like Im risking getting some Negative feedbacks though!

 

Had the day off today- nothing at GW or the small thrift. Hit up 3 yardsales that were right by each other.......one had 3 Xbox360 sports games and the other had a $60 Xbox360 slim.....no thanks. Asked about other games, each person said no. I felt like one girl was getting ready to say "maybe" but she had just called to order a pizza so she said "uhhhh no...." quickly before talking on the phone. These pickups were from GW on Tuesday/Thursday.

 

$6 Disney Dinoland Trex. $50 brand new Canon Pixma MP470 printer. $3 Jade Empire Limited Edition, no booklet. $6 apiece for the controllers. $4 for the ink. $4 for the sealed digital optical cable.

Robocop (1987) DVD - $2.50 still sealed.

Marvel's Avengers - Blu/DVD - $1. (I know I have the Blu, I think I got the DVD too but couldn't pass it up.)

USB Mouse still in the box - $1 (This was good timing. I just got my last one out the other month since I trashed the old one.)

 

Was tempted by a still sealed third party PS2 controller for $2 but it wasn't a good brand one like Mad Katz. Plus I think we have a dozen or more PS2 controllers laying around from all those yard sales in the 2010s.

Got a couple decent yard sale finds today
Xbox 360 games and dvds were $1 each
Halo reach
Halo ODST
Reckoning kingdom of amalur
Dragon age 2
Lord of the rings war in the north

National lampoons vacation
Apocalypse now
Transformers the movie animated

[JohnnySako]

Couple decent finds at the flea market this morning:

WWE 2K19 (PS4) $10
Star Wars Chief Chirpa Ewok figure (1983) $1
The Greatest Showman Blu-Ray (MA code worked) $2

[Mike_TV]

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.

I was surprised when I traded a disc copy of Wii sports at GS and got $21 credit for it.

[Retroxcellence]

Nothing too crazy but I did make it out to a salvation army that still had media for .49 cents each. I remember the Pure Moods commercials, music for my way of life . I will assume starship troopers 2 is hot trash but it was cheap

[Invicta 61]

Lots of sales around town today, still didn't find much.

• Season 1 & 2 Star Wars Rebels Bluray $10 each (yeah, I know)
• Netflix instant streaming disc for Wii - free
• Zion 20x280x70 binoculars $10
• Late 70's early 80's push button tabletop phone $1
• Wii w/ Wii fit package (Wii fit plus, balance board, aerobic step, 4 jell covers, Madden 07) $10
• New Castle Brown Ale advertising mirror $10
• Miller Lite 1997 Brickyard 400 advertising mirror $10

 

The Wii did not have any controllers or hook ups, just the unit and the items listed.  My thought was to put some ROMs on it... assuming it works.  Also hoping for a disc in the slot.

 

The Brickyard 400 advertising mirror is for my dad, he loves racing.  A lot of this stuff has become available locally this spring at cheaper prices than they would usually command.  These came out of a bar, but about a month ago I picked up a 28x31 Bud Light Super Bowl XLVI advertising mirror for $50 from someone that sold their liquor store chain.

 

Also, for as many sales that were going on there were not many with CDs or DVDs/Blurays.  I know this is going to become the trend as fewer people buy this stuff but it was quite the drop off from last time was hitting garage sales (which I guess was 2019).

A little somethin' somethin' from the St. Vincent RuPaul today. I vowed that I was going to keep my Xbox One library strictly digital, but with prices like these, it was a vow I couldn't keep.

 

What I'm noticing lately is that I'm passing on more stuff at thrifts, yards, and pawns than I'm buying. I found a keyboard which I'm pretty sure was mechanical for thirty dollars... pass. I found a teeny little Ms. Pac-Man machine that played a decent game of Ms. Pac-Man... pass. Someone was giving away a behemoth television set with unknown issues; they were even willing to help me lift it into my car! Pass. I've tried fixing televisions in the past; the parts are expensive and my track record for success has been exactly 50/50. The scuffs on the screen of this Insignia and the fact that it was unceremoniously deposited on the curb made me think that it was only going to bring down my less than stellar average.

[Mike_TV]

Complete bust for me today but I did get to see some cicadas emerging from their shells with the kiddo, so that was cool. Not as cool as a box of video games, but with my current dry spell I'll take what I can get.

[juangrande386]

Ohh look at everyone posting! I think combining Thrift and YardSale was a good idea. Didnt go to any sales this weekend, too busy cleaning the PS2 and Genesis stuff I picked up from "my guys" on Craigslist and FB Marketplace. I actually thought the older guy, "Craigslist Scott", mightve passed away because I havent heard from him in months. Ill post that stuff in the Pickups thread.

 

Goodwill- Mario book $1, PS1 game $3, VHSs $1 apiece, printer $6, ink $2, WWE figures $1 apiece, Game Gear games were individually priced and were about $19 total.

 

Small Thrift- $10. Top row is complete. Ink is sealed.

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).

[postaboy]

Retro-Bit Retro Duo SNES/NES Console System $25 (half off on pink tag).

PS2/PS1 games $3.50 each

 

Titles: Buffy PS2, Two Oddworld PS1 games, Crash Warped PS1, Two Blood Omen PS1/PS2 games, Dark Alliance 1&2 PS2, Champions PS2 games, Dr. Muto PS2, & Croc PS1

 

[Invicta 61]

This past weekend was garbage for garage sales.  I mean, garbage would actually have been more entertaining to look through.  Clothes, baby clothes and baby toys made up roughly 75% of the fare.  The rest was knick-knacks and couponer items.  This one guy had a sale of almost all Target clearance stuff, most of it sanitizer and hand wipes.

 

Only gaming related item I found was a complete Dreamcast Web Browser 2.0 mixed in with CDs.  I always check the CDs, one time I found a random complete copy of Diablo PS1 mixed in with music.  

 

I did pick up some $0.25 CDs, nothing spectacular.  Also got a Bluray of live action Mulan for $2.

 

Pretty disappointing. 

[genesis49]

Went to a bunch of sales and the only thing interesting was an old school bell with a broken yoke. Didn’t pick up anything but did meet some nice people. One of the ladies I’m pretty sure was only having the sale to have some people stop by and talk so I spent a little while chit chatting
At least the weather was nice for the driving

[Mike_TV]

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.

Sweet finds!

[juangrande386]

Okay here we go.......

 

Goodwill- $2 for the sealed filter, $15 for the Altec Lansing BX1121 speaker set, and not pictured is about 20 dvd cases I used for PS2 discs for $4. Small thrift- $21 for the 20th Anniversary complete set of Star Trek THG. Small thrift- $108 for the PS2/Wii/GC/PS1/PS3/etc games and the star light projector blutooth speaker thing!.....goodness! The Shrek album case actually has the booklet and disc for SpongeBob Supersponge. Goodwill- $12 apiece. I think they thought these were monitors. They're Dell all in one PCs. They have Windows 10 Pro on them despite being 9 years old. One works just fine, the other shuts down after about 20 mins. Goodwill- $9 apiece talking cat dolls, they go for like $35-$50. Ginger cat is missing the USB cable. White cat is unused I think, cable and booklet are in a sealed bag.

 

[arsenalcrazy8]

nice! is paper mario thousand year door still going for an absurd amount?

[juangrande386]

@arsenalcrazy8 looks like $80-$90 shipped regularly 

[juangrande386]

Around $40ish for everything, all Goodwill. Finding Nemo is actually a fake, who tf repros that?!

 

[Retroxcellence]

Not a garage sale but the library was having a media sale with 50% off the tag today. Parks and Rec looked unplayed. Chappelle show, Simpsons, and jacksass also looked nice and clean. Michael Jackson for Wii for a surprising find

[Retroxcellence]

I'm a weak man and when presented with an all you can eat buffet, I'm going to eat like a dog and stuff myself until I get sick. The media sale at my library continued yesterday but they shifted to a bag sale. $5 gets you a paper grocery bag and you will fill it with whatever you can. I bought two bags and came away with all of this.
I was pretty excited to see that a lot of tv series sets were still there. They were all dvd, not Blu ray but I think the price was right. I had not watched Kroll Show, Veronica Mars, Mindy project, dukes of Hazzard, or Hannibal before. I was excited to get Mad Men seasons 1-4, a couple seasons of Seinfeld and curb your enthusiasm, and season 4 of fringe. Sadly, I was not able to find a copy of Charlie Sheen's The Chase but Crank 2 and Starship Troopers make up for that

[SPS]

Went for a very long bike ride today, and on the way back I spotted an estate sale. At it I got the following for $175 total:

 

Gold PS4 Slim 1TB, with gold controller

Nier Automatica Day one edtion

Uncharted Collection

Monster Hunter World

 

I also got two Blu-Rays:

Full Metal Jacket (sealed, which I already had...whoops)

and Apocalypto

 

Everything made it back safely thankfully. Also there was so much good stuff at this estate sale that if I hadn't ridden my bike I would've filled up my car with stuff. Still had a ton of good blu-rays, a N64, a SNES, some more good PS4 games (which I already had, or werent worth getting), and even some random SNES, Game Boy and Game Gear Games

 

Also a couple weeks ago I got a whole box of vintage WWF rubber figures that were in not the greatest shape for $5. There were 30 of them

Now I have 3 copies of Tenkaichi 3 PS2 lol.

 

Do you guys know why the Wii version of Tenkaichi 3 goes for a lot less than the PS2 version? Planning to sell my Wii copy.
