I make a stack of games I didn't have in my collection and made a deal for all for $30. The guy was a collector and told me he had a PSP game that was
going for $180 online and he was going to sell it on Ebay. He shows me the game and I lookup the going value and it was $60. I needed the game in my collection
so I offered $40, I show him that the value online was $60 and not $180 and he agreed at $40. So I got it sealed at the price of a CIB.

And last the Best find of the day.
I stop at a sale and ask about games and the guy says he has a Nintendo, But it wasn't at the house the sale was at. I give him my number and tell him
to call me, Later I get a call and go back to the sale to see he has a NES lot all CIB. We talking about a price and we agreed on $200 for everything.

Now a couple stories of stuff I didn't buy...
I ask about games and the guy says he has a Wii, He shows me a garbage bag with the most disgusting Wii I've ever seen.
It looked like someone vomited all over it and showed signs of bug infested. I didn't even ask a price, just passed.
Another sale I see a Zelda Gold Wii Remote. She wanted $40 for it and she was saying it was a great deal because it was going for $200 online.
I look it up (just incase the price jumped and it was going for $40 on ebay) The remote was pretty used too. People like this drive me crazy.
Anytime someone talks about what its worth online ALWAYS look it up yourself.
Another sale I ask about games and the guys brings out a bunch of Amiibos new on their cards. He claimed they where going for $100 a piece online.
Most all where valued under $20. I didn't need any of these and I just passed.

At another sale I ask about video games and the lady says she has a Wii U, She brings out a Wii U with the AC Adapter.
But it was missing the tablet controller, I ask if she had it but she couldn't find it. I ask her if she had anything else, she goes back in and brings out a stack
of PS4 and XB1 games and a empty Mario Kart 8 case. Then she says she has a Nintendo and she brings out a NES with a couple controllers and one game.
I ask what she wanted for it and she says $200. (hell no) Then I ask what she wanted for the one game and she says $10. Seeing its a $25-$30 game,
I paid her for the game. Then I was about to leave but she wanted to look for the tablet, She finally find the controller and it had a layer of dust on it.
I offer $40 for the Wii U and once I get it home I check to see if there's any disc inside the system hoping to find Mario Kart 8. There was a disc inside but not
Mario Kart. Here's everything I got.

The 360 was an early model with HIGH chance of red ring of death, all the 360 and ps2 games were sports. There was about 15 PS1 games but all were
sports except a a few. I first ask what she wanted for all of it and she says $100. So I take the Genesis stuff and a few PS1 games and ask if she'd do $60

His wife comes out while he looks and we get to talking about video games and about she was thinking of getting a Switch. Then she says I think we have an
old N64, would you be interested in that? Yes I said. Her husband comes out and shows much pretty much scrap PS4 and Xbox one games. Nothing worth
even making an offer for. She goes in and then returns with a N64 and several games. I ask what she wants for the N64 and games and she says $40 okay?
