--- Quote from: Warmsignal on July 05, 2019, 01:59:41 pm ---In 2019 while living in a small and mostly rural area? Forget about it. It's done. 10 years ago, the 80s/90s nostalgia bug had not yet hit big, there weren't television and media articles promoting the notion that "you could have valuable toys collecting dust in your closet / this person sold their Nintendo game for $10,000", and not everybody had a phone with 3G and a web browser yet. Because of those factors, lots of old games hit people's front yard and were sold at rock bottom prices. Not so today. Everyone is far too savvy, and it takes a really rare kind of ignorance to still let go of them as if they were completely worthless and obsolete. The chances are maybe 1/100 and it's just not worth that in time, effort, gas money, headache, etc. I don't care if it's rare and sought after, they can keep it. I'm really done with game hunting. I had a good run with it, but it's far past time to hang it up and I can't recommend yard sales to new collectors. I think it's a waste of time now, unless you seriously can't afford to pay the online rates for what you actually want. --- End quote --- 100% agree on this |

There are no yard/garage sales in my area, unfortunately. Tough luck for me. |
