Now for the garage sales.  ;)

3DS
At a sale I found two 2DS's complete in box and a lot of games, they wanted $250 for everything and I didn't want to spend that much, I asked about separating the lot. While i was talking to the lady a notorious Reseller shows up and butts in and starts scanning all the games. And pretty much low balls asking prices so bad they acted like they didn't want to do any deals for  him or me. After he left, I tried to get somekind of deal and best they would do is was $75 on one of the 2DS so I passed, best I could get them to go on this game was $20, being half the price. I bought the one game.

But there was a problem, her six kids kept screaming about what games they didn't want to sell.

SNES
At a sale I asked about games and a girl there said she had SNES and a Gamecube but they where at a different house and she said she'd call her boyfriend to bring them over in a couple hours. She said it was her's and her brothers and said she had to get permission what games she could sell. At this point I felt like it was going to be a lost cause due to I've seen this before where the son/brother wont want to sell anything. So I hit a bunch of sales and wasn't able to get back til three hours latter. As I walk up to the sale I see they are closing up and a guy is walking away with a large box. The girl sees me and tells me her boyfriend was about to leave and yells at her boy friend to come back. She opens the box and my eyes get big real quick. There was REAL good SNES games in here. All the DKC games, Mario Kart, SMW, LoZ, Chrono Trigger & EARTHBOUND!!! But these where part of the games her brother told her not to sell. But it wasn't a loss. I still got some good games from this, she said she looked them up on Amazon and at that point I thought crap, this will be to expensive but she said she do half what she saw they sold for. And some where about on point, others where stupid cheap. Here's what I got.

- Lethal Enforcers (with light gun) ($2)
- Ultima: The False Prophet ($5)
- Goof Troop (CIB) ($5)
- Donkey Kong Country (CIB) ($10)   
- Final Fantasy III ($5)

Hit a community sale and the first sale I hit I asked about games and the lady said "ya I got something and went to go get something" This sale was one of those small ones with only one table out. She brings out a bag, I unzip it and see a SNES with all hook ups, 2 controllers and when I saw a few of the games, I asked how much? she said $30 and I pulled out my wallet. lol

NES
At a sale I asked about games and the lady said she had a Nintendo, she goes to her car and pulls out a box and I see BOXED games.  :o
When I asked price she wanted $40, I really didn't need a NES system. So i asked about buying just the games and she said $10. Ya I'll take em for that. lol

It was an AWESOME weekend, picked up some great finds. Garage sales where good to me this week.

!!! Congratulations of the awesome finds! According to VGCollect, you are now just 42 games away from the 10,000 mark!

Bolded: this is something that I realized with your other posts, and it is something minor, but you often write "where" when you mean "were."

Just got Tecmo's Deception (loose) for 10 coins, and Trapt (loose) for 10 coins over at 99gamers.

Love 99gamers. It worked so well for me that I'm at the point where I'm just about out of stuff I'm willing to trade, now.

Bolded: this is something that I realized with your other posts, and it is something minor, but you often write "where" when you mean "were."

It's called being exhausted and not caring about going over that long post looking for errors. lol
It took a couple hours to take pic's and write that post. I try and correct errors but many get by me. I'll correct the error just for you.  :P

Technically I'm already over 10,000 games. Because VGcollect has Atomiswave & MVS games under arcade instead of under "games". So my game count is 10,009 atm.  ;)

the official record stands at 10,607 (then the guy sold it all) lol
I'm at 10,652 items on VGcollect, but I know many items in that count wouldn't count as part the the record, things like guides, figures, Digital games, swag, and maybe some variations and some accessories.

To get all that stuff was 3 straight days at 5-6 hours each, hitting as many sales as possible, I think I had to have hit well over 200 sales just this weekend. It's a lot of fun but exhausting at the same time.

Flea,

I've concluded since you live close to me I am going to come to your house and just marvel at your game room for hours on end.

Good plan?

Haunting actually looks pretty cool. Never heard of it.



Also, we found this while game hunting as well, but this one went to my brother. I should probably be jelly, but eh... At least I'll get to play it first hand on real hardware.  ;)
