N64Next are two excellent N64 finds.
The first was on Friday at a community sale, I ask about games and the dad asks his kid if he wanted to sell the N64 he doesn't play. The kid just says I don't care and gives his dad some lip about it. The Dad starts yelling at him and I'm standing there feeling uncomfortable then the Dad just goes in and brings out a trunk with a N64 complete in the box and its the Star Wars Episode I Racer edition. Plus 15 games. I ask a price and he puts it back on me. I try for $30 but he says he wants $55. I try to get it all for lower but the best he would sell it for was $50. I had to get it.

The next N64 lot was on Saturday, I stop at a HUGE gated community sale and at the second sale I stop at I ask about games and she says she had something and goes inside. As I wait I start talking to her daughter about my collection and I tell her how I love the classics and she then goes in to see if she could help her mom. The mom comes out with about 6 Xbox games. I look through them and see nothing I'm interested in. I was about to leave when her daughter comes out and says "is this the kind of thing your looking for?" and is holding a N64 game case.
I open it and see its FILLED with games I see a couple good games and ask a price for all of it and she says $20.

And last a garage sale find I originally found three years ago. At a sale I stopped at in 2013 I asked about video games, she tells me to follow her inside. She takes me downstairs and shows me three arcade cabinets. I loved them but at the time I had no space to even think of getting any of them. So I take pictures and call my friend who collects arcades and Pinball machines and send him pictures. He loved them but he was broke at the time so I left thinking someone else would get them. I always told the story of these arcades I would have loved to get and many have told me I should have bought them and store them or something. Well about a month ago I stop at a garage sale and I ask the lady about video games, she said her daughter had some arcades and wanted to get rid of them. I ask does she know what games they were and she says two of them and I was stunned I pull out my phone and show her the picture I took three years ago and ask if these where them? And she looks at me funny and says yes. So she takes my number and I get a call back this week to come look at them. I get there and look at them and they where in the same place I saw them 3 years ago. I talk price and they accepted $200 a piece. So I rented a truck and brought them home. Hauling full size arcades from a basement was a chore. I'm still sore from moving three arcades. lol Here's what I got.
- Street Fighter II Championship Edition
- Donkey Kong 3
- The Simpsons Arcade Game
