Found some V-Tech Smile games in a trash can while walking up to a sale.  :P

At one sale had a bunch of crappy sport games they was one I was missing for only $1.

Another sale had a bunch of PS3 and 360 games they where asking $5 a piece but I was able to get them to take $1 for these I was missing. When I asked about other games they bought out some PSP games, only one decent title, and they only wanted $2 each for the PSP games.

A sale advertised video games and all they had was PS2 games. At $1 a piece I picked up these 3 games.

- Ben 10 Alien Force

There was two huge town wide garage sales going on. I must have hit more then 40 sales from these two events.
I got to the first sale and see a small basket with crappy DS games in it. And I see under them a pouch with a Pink DS in very good shape and another pack under that that had a purple GBA with about 3 games with it. I asked a price for it all and she said $20 and I couldn't say no.  ;)

At a garage sale that looked like an antique store, the garage was full of old junk and I see something of top of an old bookshelf. Three light guns. The first was a Nuby Sniper PS1 light gun for $3. And the set of Justifier light guns for the SNES. Both the blue Player one gun and the rare pink player 2 gun. This gun alone people ask for over $100 and I got the set for $2.  ;D ;D ;D

GEN
At one sale I asked about games and the guy said he had a Genesis but didn't want to sell it. I asked is there any he never played anymore and he said He's go look and came back with these three games and said he's take $3 for them.
- RBI Baseball
- The Little Mermaid
- Samurai Shodown

SNES
Stopped at a sale near the end of the day and asked about games. He said he had a Nintendo and brings out a SNES with 4 games. The system is a bit beat up and we was only asking $30 for it all.
- Super Mario World
- Donkey Kong Country
- Donkey Kong Country 2
- Primal Rage

NES
Both of these NES buys where kinda not from a garage sale.
While at a sale I ask about games and a random customer at the sale asks me what I was looking for? I tell him pretty much anything but I love the older stuff more. He tells me he has a container with a bunch of Nintendo games. I ask if he lived far and if I could see them but he lived like 10 minutes away and he was wanted to finish going to the sales in the town wide sale. So I give him my number and think I wouldn't hear from him. But when I was about to leave the town sale I bump into him again. He tells me he's finished with the garage sales and wondered when was a good time for me to look at the games. I tell hm now is good. So I follow him for 10 minutes to his home and he going inside and comes out with a container with 8 NES games with their sleeves. I ask a price and he says $30. we go back and forth on price and we finally agree at $24.
- Super Mario Bros. 3
- Excitebike
- Kung Fu
- Pinball
- Super Mario Bros. / Duck Hunt / WCTM
- MLB
- Casino KId
- Pac-Man

Then not long after this sale I'm at a sale and ask about games and a lady there says she has a Nintendo and she calls home to her husband then after talking with him a minute she gives me the phone. I talk to the guy and he tells me about the system and four games and we agree on a price of $30 and I travel to his house and pick it up. I get there and he shows me the console and inside the system was a 5th game. It also had a zapper, 2 controllers and an off brand controller. Here's the games.
- Super Mario Bros.
- Metal Gear
- Journey to Silius

I found a few things in a thrift shop yesterday, they had a big choice of games at 1€ each, i found :

South Park - PS1 (CIB)
SSX Tricky - PS2 - Platinum (CIB)
The Sniper 2 - PS2 (CIB)
Gran Turismo - PSP (CIB)
Shadow Ops Red Mercury - Xbox (CIB)
SSX On Tour - Xbox (CIB)
Wartech - Xbox 360 (CIB)

In the same shop i have also found an accessory pack for the game boy micro (0,50€), the Spectrobes Gift Pack (that contains 20 cards and a poster, got it for 0,50€ too) and a book (in french ;)) Start! The Great Story of Video Games (for 4€).

And today i wake up at 7AM to go to the closest flea market and sadly it rains... i thought it was no use going to it but i was awake after all so why not, well i certainly did not regret going there, i found :

Panzer Dragoon Orta - Xbox (CIB - 2€)
Project Gotham Racing - Xbox (CIB - 1€)
Naruto: Rise of a Ninja - Xbox 360 - Classics (CIB - 1€)

-A Playstation bag with a Playstation and two gamepads inside (the bag and the console need a bit of cleaning though) for 6€ (and i have even got that cute little Eevee for free with it).
-Suikoden 3 OST (the case was broken and the cover was in a sad state, i've already changed the case but the cover still have a big crease in the middle  :-\ but i shouldn't complain since i only paid 0,50€ for it and i'm really happy that i add a new OST to my collection, and one of my most favorite soundtrack from the Suikoden series).
-And for the last item... when i made that purchase i seriously thought "Retro-gaming died during the night?" because i found a Gameboy (Transparent version, and it's in a pretty good state) for only 1,50€ :o.

That was a really good week-end  ;D

My cousin and I hit up the Indiana Comic Con and after the Exhibition Hall closed we ventured out into the Indianapolis area to find some retro shops. We found this place called Disc Replay where all of this came from, most for $2.99-3.99 each. They ran a special where you Buy 5 get 1 Free. Nice place but man are their price stickers a PAIN to remove.  Time to break out the Goo Gone! :P

Those look like Disc Replay price stickers. I wish you the best of luck in getting those price stickers off.  :P
