I just got back from a yard sale, For two dollars I bought top loading nes, regular nes, super nintendo( with mouse), Five nes games, zapper gun with all the hookups to the systems
 
what games??

and how did you convince them to give it to you for 2 dollars?! top loader alone for 2 dollars would be insane!!
 
Bah. I saw retro games at one garage sale in my entire life. It was an NES with quite a few games, but really good condition (except for Zelda), and I got it for $20. I wish I could find some more game stuff at garage sales, but it never seems to pop up.
 
The guy i bought them from said if he didnt sell it today he was going to throw the box of stuff away. I was so happy my wife said i looked like a kid on christmas. But I really was!!!!

i dont even believe this guy got these at a yard sale. It seems a bit made up. I mean come on 2 dollars for all that shit? Thats like 10 cents per item. No person sells anything, even trash for 10 cents...

I tend to agree with you. Maybe it's because we live in Wisconsin and we have seen the "deals" that people offer at their garage sales here. Anyone, and I mean anyone would realize that they could get more than $2 for all of that.

Thats funny why would i lie about it, I am a 24 year old man come on. I just thought it was a great yard sale find. But if you dont belive it o well. I would load pics but, I dont know how.
 
how would pics provide the cost? Im just a bit sceptacle... and i dont kno many 24 yr old men who like korn anymore...
 
I understand that i would be the same way, But I was just happy as hell that I found this deal. And wanted to share what kind of stuff you can find at yard sales. I was in a upperclass comunity, The guy also gave my son a box of toys for free. What are 24 year old supposed to listen too?

You know, I'd say the same thing...but I had a find just like this. Not quite as good, but mine was only a dollar. :D

Read it and weep.

It happens...just because you aren't lucky enough to have found something like this doesn't make it a lie. This seems a bit extreme, but a lot of people don't know or care about how valued older games are among gamers. Look at the top-loader. They see it as an obsolete piece of junk. We drool at it.

It's all a matter of perspective...and luck.
 
About 6 years ago I bought an Atari 2600 with the hookups, 6 controllers, and 24 games for $2.

It's just so awesome that you found a toploader and all of that other great stuff for such a low price! I'm all hyped up to go garage saling tomorrow.
 
I had a good day today too: 16 SNES games at 50 cents apiece (Mario Kart, All Stars, Dkc 1 and 2, Pilotwings and more) Killer Instinct gold for 4 bucks and 2 bucks for perfect MGS for PS1.

Man who pissed in your cheerios? Lots or rummage sales have stuff priced for 5 cents 10 cents I had one a few years ago and charged a dollar a bag. The point to many garage sales isn't to make money (although an extra 100 bucks or so is nice of course) but to get rid of stuff.
 
Hell I found a complete Atari 7800 system w/ 16 games for $5 at a thrift the other day, and the day before I got a complete Atari 2600 w/5 games for $2.50 at the same thrift.
So it does happen.
