Garage Sales (Re)visited:

[disgaeniac]

Topic:

Like the "Recently Added to Collection" and/or "Pre-ordered/Waiting For" threads

-but-

strictly for items found or bought at garage/yard sales, Flea Markets, Craig's List, etc.

Okay, okay already...Jeeez!

Fine!

I admit that it was half a case of just being too damned good of a reference/title tie-in to *NOT* use it 

Raise a hand/Bang yer head ("Metal Health will", indeed, "drive ya' there)" if ya' got the reference(s?) w/o "cheating" (Googling/Wikipedia-ing, etc) 

[badATchaos]

So you basically wish to destroy the other recently added threads?

[turf]

It was too good a reference to go unused.

derp...no!

Don't feel bad - you're just very obviously not the..."Target" audience here 

It was too good a reference to go unused.

It was...*Wasn't* it?!

(I knew that you'd get (at least) one of 'em)

... do we really need two finds threads? 

[argyle]

I guess if anyone doesn't like this thread they can always just...Turn The Page.  *groan*

Do we really

*NEED*

any?

I'mma let Turf

*edit or Argyle*

(or someone else who "got" it) field this one for me 

I feel like I'm being Welcomed to Where Time Stands Still...No one "gets" it and No One Will

Is Bob Seger still alive 

If not...he's prolly rolling over every time it plays

I suppose we could put our stories here, maybe those items you didn't buy. But ya I cant see 2 different threads for finds.

Like this...

Stopped at one sale this weekend and it had a Wii with a bunch of accessories and maybe 10 games and they wanted $70 for it all. The only note worthy game was Mario Party 8.
They also had a PS2 (fat) with about 15 PS2 games and 10 PS1 games. for $50.
I wanted some of the games but they wanted like $10 a game to separate from the systems and the games I wanted where a couple Spyro games for the PS2 and budget titles for the Wii, so I just passed. 

Then last weekend there was a lady who had a Nintendo Game Boy Advance SP (black 001 model) with 2 chargers and 2 games. Pokemon Emerald and Bases Loaded (GB) and wanted $30 for it. I tested the Pokemon game and the battery was dead.
She wouldn't take less and I passed. Maybe if it was a 101 and the Pokemon Battery was good I would, But I just didn't want to spend that much. Would any of you guys buy this lot for $30?

I really don't think two finds threads are needed here.  I think we should just hit the lights on this thread and keep using the Recently Added/Recently Purchased thread.

Or use the thread for a different purpose like TheFlea did above.

Maybe if the game worked and the GBA was in immaculate condition. Funny enough the SP is one of the few Nintendo systems I don't have yet. Back in the day I was fine-and-dandy with the original GBA so I never bothered to pick one up. Same with the DS Lite.

I wonder if anyone is going to let this thread Fade to Black or keep posting here?

Might as well let it fade before the 4 horse-men  trample it...

Anyways...I think that Cthulu's calling!

[soera]

If Cthulu is calling, its time to Quiet the Riot Until it sleeps.
