I can't believe it's October and I'm still able to find enough each weekend to make a post. The weather has been spectacular these past few weekends and I think that has a lot to do with it.
Now, onto the deals.



Saturday Garage Sales



This was at one of the first sales of the day. It was the only thing at the sale that wasn't marked with a price, so I offered $10, she said $20, I countered with $15, she didn't budge on the price. So, I paid the $20 and left. I'm sure I got off cheap, I know it would have been more if it was marked, the loose PS1 next to it was $25. 






These were from a huge moving sale. I picked up the guide that was marked for $0.10 and she said there were some PlayStation games in the house. There were a couple loose PS1 systems in the garage for $3 each, so I was hopeful. The games were $1 each, double disc games were $2 each. There were a few more games I didn't pick up because they were loose or sports games, I almost didn't pick up a couple of them because I already had them but I figured a couple more wouldn't add to the price. I ended up paying $10 for everything. 




This was originally two sets with three drawers each, but one was missing, so I took them apart and re-assembled into a single unit with 5 shelves. I was looking for something just like this to put controllers in. Paid $2 for both and it included a new box of mint breath strips. 




I find it very odd that I found two MK guides on the same day on completely opposite sides of town. This one was $0.25.





Sunday Flea Market



I traded this for a Donkey Kong Classics and Super Mario Bros 2. It didn't have the manuals, but I already had them, so it's now complete.






This was from my regular dude. I just bought this from him instead of trading. It was $40 for anyone else, he gave it to me for $20. I'm so happy with this as I've been looking for a SMS for so long it's become a personal Holy Grail for me.

DUDE! Nice pick-ups this weekend!
 
A boxed Nomad. I hate you Smiley
 
Damn, those are some amazing deals. Shocked
 
Still buying stuff? Man, you pwn those garage sales. It already snowed over here (and did not melt), don't know how many people would do garage sales in this cold.
 
Unbelievable. Great Nomad, great PS1 games, great Streets of Rage 3. Great great great.
 
Oh, and great Master System! I'm convinced that they never even sold them in the state. We must have identified them as a threat, because you NEVER see them here.
 
Excellent finds
 
I forgot to mention something about those PS1 games. They all look brand new. Not even a single scuff on any of them. They look they were never used. Which is really weird because the house was totally trashed, holes in the wall, coloring all over the walls, food on the floor, etc.


@Tynstar: Hey Scott, nice to see you pop in. This is actually the second boxed Nomad I got Tongue
The other is for sale, if you or anyone else wants it.

@BadEnoughDude: This was the first SMS I've seen in the wild, so they definitely are very hard to find.
 
@NES_Rules: Offer Has been accepted! Wink Tongue
