Another week, another week of goodies. I had some great finds from the garage sales.
I also add what I have to say is "at this time" one of the rarest games in my collection.
First the non garage sale finds...
I never got this mini arcade and then all the Targets in my area sold out. I finally find it at a Target out of town and just picked it up.

Okay, this last game has to the rarest game in the PS4 collection. (at the moment) This has such an odd story behind it I had to get a copy. From what I understand the game was up for pre-order on April Fools day and the site to order it was super shady. On top of that the company releasing it is called Limited Rare. They even steal the font of LRG's. I guess only 84 people ordered it before the site shut down. Then on their twitter they say they where shut down and out of business. From what I find out I guess Sony got wind of this and shut them down. Those who pre-ordered it had no idea if they just got scammed but a month later they got their games. I find out about this way after the pre-orders shut down and I was on the fence about paying a high price to get a copy. But due to the story and weirdness of this game I had to get one. I find a seller who would sell me a copy for about half what people want for it now. I had to jump on it. It might be the Stadium Events of PS4. Then again a few months from now another 800 copies hit the market and I over payed for it. lol
But I figured to be safe then sorry. This game is...

Okay now onto the Garage Sales...
First day out I find there wasn't much in sales in my area. Maybe due the the holiday?
I find there's a town wide garage sale event going on about 20 miles away. I think maybe I can find better stuff and not have as much competition. But I get there and I see the same resellers I do in my local area. They had the same idea.
I try and get ahead of them and only find ONE game the whole time I was there.
PS2- Sonic Mega Collection ($1)
I leave there and hit any sale I could find on the way home and I finally find a sale that when I asked about video games they said they did. She brings out some Wii, NDS and Switch games. She wanted $15 a game on Switch and $3 each on the others.
I make a pile and ask if she would take $20 for the stack. She was fine with it.
SWITCH- Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Wii- Alice in Wonderland
- Spongebob Atlantis Squarepants
- Cabela's Big Game Hunter 2010
NDS- Sims 2 Apartment Pets
- Sonic Classic Collection
- Puss in Boots
The next day I see another huge event game sale, this time its about 40 miles away. I think is this really worth it?
I decide to go for it and hit the game stores down there after I was done, this place was in the boonies. No one there was looking for video games but me.
The first sale I find games the lady had a bunch of Xbox (original) and 360 games. I find two I needed for $1 each.
XB360- Steel Battalion
- Fighters Uncaged
Next I stop at what I call an old people sale. Most of the time these don't have video games, but I do find them every so often.
I ask about video games and the old guy says "Boy do I have a deal for you!" I'm thinking what junk are you going to try and sell me, video tapes? A old computer monitor? The guy pulls a bag off a table a and hands it to me and says "It's all yours for a dollar!" I look inside and see CIB Genesis games and some controllers.
I just hand him a dollar and didn't even look what was all in the bag til I got home. lol
GEN- Sonic the Hedgehog
- Road Rash II
- PGA Tour Golf
- John Madden Football '92
- A Genesis controller
- An odd off brand controller with a jack to put headphones in
- And for some reason a Wii Nunchuck.
Next I hit a sale and again ask about video games, they guy says "Do you know what they are worth?" I'm thinking oh-oh...
But I tell him yes and he goes running into the house. I brings out a large tub. Inside was an Atari 2600 with a bunch of games and a NES with three games. He starts asking me what it was worth and I don't see anything that great and I tell him its all commons and nothing rare or valuable. I ask a price for it all and he just puts it back on me. I tell him the best I can offer is $10 just for the NES games and explain to him about I'm taking a chance the systems don't work so I can't offer much for them. He says I could have the whole tub for $20..... I just pay the man. lol

Last I stop at a sale that had only one table out with a bunch of junk and a few rugs. I almost just pass the sale but I stop and get out to look and ask the man about video games. He tells me "like nintendo?" I say ya I'm looking for Nintendo. He tells me he might have something and goes inside. He brings out a N64 with 11 games. I ask a price and he says $20 okay? I pay the man. lol
