Then I stopped at a yardsale And got like 200 VHS tapes and 10 dvds for $15.00 and this was mixed in.
Usually I don't have a lot of luck at garage sales, but today I feel like I hit the mother load. There was a guy selling all of his collection, which ranged from 2600 games to DS and everything in between. The best part was that he was doing straight pricing of $3 per game, regardless of title. On top of that he gave me a discount for picking up a decent amount. I walked away with some fun stuff for me at a steal, got some good deals for my buddy that was with me to kick up his count, and enjoyed browsing. I'm tempted to go back, as he still had a huge amount of games left, but I grabbed the best stuff I saw. So on with the show:
[img width=700 height=525]http://i1023.photobucket.com/albums/af356/jackcrow2000/IMG_4051.jpg[/img]
First off is the SNES finds. Starfox CIB, Zelda complete except box, DKC 2 & 3, SF II, Kirby's Avalanche, and Dr. Mario + Tetris. Nothing fantastic, and I let my buddy have the loose FFII I found since I have it CIB already.
[img width=700 height=525]http://i1023.photobucket.com/albums/af356/jackcrow2000/IMG_4053.jpg[/img]
Next is NES. All CIB expect Alpha Mission and Dizzy, but I needed them so I grabbed them too. Again, nothing spectacular, but these can replace my loose copies.
[img width=700 height=525]http://i1023.photobucket.com/albums/af356/jackcrow2000/IMG_4054.jpg[/img]
Up next is SEGA. Shining in the Darkness, Fighter's Megamix, Seaman, Grandia II, and X-Men. I was really happy to find the Grandia II and X-Men. I've never played Grandia II, so I hope this one is good.
[img width=700 height=525]http://i1023.photobucket.com/albums/af356/jackcrow2000/IMG_4052.jpg[/img]
Here are the 7800 stuff. I've been trying to beef up my 7800 collection when I find good deals. It's not a beloved system, but I love 8-bit. Choplifter is NIB, although a little beat up. Other games here are Ballblazer, Food Fight, Tower Toppler, DK Jr., Crossbow CIB, and Jinks CIB.
[img width=700 height=525]http://i1023.photobucket.com/albums/af356/jackcrow2000/IMG_4056.jpg[/img]
So here are the few Intellivision games I picked up. He had a lot more CIB, but I usually don't like to pay more than a buck for these. I just grabbed these because I like the games: Demon Attack, Pitfall!, and Frog Bog.
[img width=700 height=525]http://i1023.photobucket.com/albums/af356/jackcrow2000/IMG_4055.jpg[/img]
Lastly is the miscellaneous bits. Road Rash for 3DO CIB, Moon Patrol 2600 CIB, Umjammer Lammy NIB, Parasite Eve II CIB, and Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates NIB for DS.
All in all this is a haul I am really happy to grab. Oh, and the grand total? $75. I am really tempted to go back for more, maybe tomorrow but nothing else was screaming my name. What do you guys think?
Overall, this was a great weekend for treasure hunting. Hopefully now that June is here, the bargains of summer will continue non-stop until Autumn.
I only had a couple garage sales lined up for Friday, but it turned out to be an awesome day. There was a small street sale that they have a couple times every year, but it's always junk and I wasn't going to go, but I had to drive right by it anyway, so I stopped. Nothing video game related but I did get some great music stuff. The Beatles' Second Album and Ratt - Dancing Undercover, both marked $0.50 each, and I was happy to pay that when I see a CD entitled "Rockin' Down The Highway" marked $0.25. It's a compilation of driving/car songs. Anything with Foghat is worth a purchase. I offered $1 for everything, she accepted.

The last sale of the day didn't look too good, but I notice an old guy looking through a box and asks about some Playstation games. The woman says $0.50 each, he looks through them, most have the game and case separated, he picked out all the ones that had the discs in the case. It took him a good 20 minutes, meanwhile, I'm waiting patiently to look over his scraps and see a Mario Kart 64 on the table for $0.50. When he finally finished getting the good games, he goes to pay and the woman says "oh, how much did I say these were?" he responds with a "$0.25" He pays that and is on his way, the asshole was obviously a reseller looking for easily sold games, because he didn't notice the best thing in the box. But I did.

Saturday was a damn good day, for the first time this season, we came home with a truck full of stuff. My dad got a vanity, medicine cabinet, a bag of mortar cement, and some bathroom accessories for $10 for the rental house, he was pretty happy about that since it was all stuff we needed.
For me, the day was also quite good, not a lot of stuff, but very good prices.
One of the first sales had a large Rubbermaid box full of NES stuff and an N64 organizer, so asked how much it was, she said to make an offer. I said $5, she accepted. I should have said $1, she probably would have taken it.

Super Dodge Ball
Burgertime
Ghostbusters II
SMB/DH
Solomon's Key
Skate or Die
Willow
6 dust sleeves
NES with hookups, 2 controllers, Zapper
Link's Awakening DX (GBC) manual
"System 3" N64 organizer, the top opens up to old the system and 13 carts, the bottom is a drawer to hold controllers and other stuff.
It was all dirty, definitely stored in a basement or garage, but cleaned up well.
Another sale had a ton of GameCube, PS2 & Xbox games, most were marked decent, but I only picked up a couple, I think these system's games are going to hit rock bottom prices this and next year.

Thunder Strike:Operation Phoenix (PS2) $3
Bionicle (GC) $2
For being kid owned games, they're in very good shape and complete.
One of the last sales of the day was a guy that has a sale every couple months, but always has video games. First I notice a "free table" with a Colecovision and several Gameboy carry cases, so I snatched them up. But I didn't see anything else I really wanted, but felt guilty about taking the free stuff without buying anything so I picked out a few Genesis games I didn't have. After I had those, I saw some things I really did want, so I got those too.

Intellivision with 1 controller and no hookups, I really only wanted it for the controller anyway.
2 Joysticks for Intellivision
3 GB carry cases.
Total: $2.75
In non-gaming finds, I found the following records for $0.25 total.
John Ono Lennon & Yoko Ono Lennon - Wedding Album, there's no jacket, but disc is in a sleeve and has the little pictures of John and Yoko and a photo of a piece of cake.
The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour, disc only
Mike Oldfield - Ommadawn, I never heard of this guy, but it looks interesting.
The Beatles - "The White Album" It's got some water damage, but the vinyl is good and the poster is there, I want to frame it so bad, but I need a frame.
Pete Seeger Sings Little Boxes & other broadsides My dad made me buy this one, I'm not against Folk, but the jacket is also water damaged.
Stephen Stills - Manassas Also water damaged jacket.
I also got a 7.5VDC 1Amp AC-DC adapter and a hole puncher for free at that sale.
At another sale I got a set of Optimus Pro-100 Wireless headphones with all hookups for $5.
I don't know why, but I also got a camo hat that says "This is my gun jamming, dog losing, deer missing, hunting cap" for $0.25. It's also got an anti-smoking pin on it.
Today was an alright day at the flea market. Tons of people and a lot of people selling games at decent prices, nearly every game I saw was priced at $4 each for some reason. The only thing I picked up was a sealed ECW Hardcore Revolution (N64) for $4. The box has a puncture on the top, but it's brand new, I couldn't pass it up.
