home from garage sales and I got 2 packages in the mail adding two new consoles to my collection.
One of them is one of the top 10 rarest game console now in my collection.

1st the sales and I found something that I never thought I'd see at a garage sale.

PS2
- Harley Davidson: Race to the Rally ($1)
- Hot Wheels: Beat That! ($1)

Wii
- New Super Mario Bros. Wii ($10)

N64 all 7 games where $10
- Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
- Body Harvest
- Star Wars: Episode I Racer
- Rampage 2
- Namco Museum 64
- Goldeneye 007

Usually I pass on Leap Frog Handhelds but this one caught my eye and it felt more like a game system.
Both games play like normal games but have bonus stages where you have to match shapes, spelling words etc.
- LeapFrog Didj (Star Wars Clone Wars edition)
- Star Wars The Clone Wars
- Sonic The Hedgehog (CIB)

A Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 Limited Edition Xbox 360 complete in box. Has both MW3 controllers and not for resale MW3 game. For $100 I couldnt pass it up.

2 Nintendo Figures from Japan mint in box. I don't usually hunt for action figures but for $2 each unopened I couldn't pass em up.
- Mario
- Donkey Kong
 
and last from the sales an item then when I saw it I knew I had to have.
I lifesize Kingdom Hearts Sora Keyblade prop. payed $5 for it.
Looks exactly like this one I found online.


Now what came in the mail.
1st a Game Console only released in Europe.
An Amstrad GX4000 came in box (box in rough shape) and came with one game Wild Streets.


And last the game console I've been hunting a long time for but was always outbid way over what I wanted to pay for one.
A Sega SG-1000 (model 1) in the box. This was the first Sega system ever made and is really rare to find.

Oh man! I'm so jealous! That's the only Sega system I've never played! I've even played a Pico, but not that. Congrats!

Picked up these today.

N64 GameShark $4
GBA 3rd party Power Pack unopened $6



And probably the coolest Goodwill find ever. I was looking at the game area and my son was looking at the books. He says daddy here is a book for you. I look at it and there is no cover so as I turn it to look at the spine he said, "It's a Grateful Dead book". It being the day after the late Jerry Garcia birthday I found it pretty neat.

I just traded a friend all my old magic cards for this awesome thing, it was brand new never opened.

I think the Pico and the Japan Mark III, is the only Sega systems i'm missing now. If your in the northern Illinois Area I'll be happy to let you try it out. 
I'm so happy the controller works flawless, it's hardwired into the system and from what I hear breaks real easy.

Flea, you rock. I wish I had the luck you do.  Ive only had one good garage sale ... everything else has been nothing worth buying.

I'm surprised on what I find myself, with all the resellers in my area and everything.

I walked into my local game store today with that Keyblade over my shoulder and everyone wanted it. lol
No one could believe I picked up something like that from a Garage Sale.

Truthfully, I wouldn't even bother with the Pico. It doesn't even really count as a real console. It's some crappy edutainment device like the Leapster but much more limited even because it was older.

I agree with you, I never counted the Pico or most any of the Edutainment systems as a part of the complete Game Console list.
The Pico is just an interactive book from what I've seen. The only Edutainment systems that I'm on the fence about counting as a Gaming Console are the V-Smiles and the DIDJ, just because they do play games, ya they are all crappy edutainment kid games but they are Video Games non the less.

I've seen many Console Lists that include the Pico, Socrates & V-Smiles. Only reason I ever picked these up was because they where so cheap. I only bought the Socrates because I found one brand new in box for $10. and the V-Smiles where $5 with a bunch of the games. So if i find a Pico for say $10-$20 with several of it's cart/books or it was new in box, ya I would grab it.

I finally found Futurama (XBox) for a good price. It hasn't made it on the racketboy rare/expensive list. But it is a game I suspect will make the list. It seems to go for a decent amount and always has a lot of bidders.

I may go on a decent shopping spree though since I worked a hell of a lot of overtime today. I didn't really want to work overtime. But there was a project that needed to be done, so they were recruiting from several departments for any help. So, I plan to count my overtime money as gift to myself money. I should be responsible and save it... but...
