A huge garage sale weekend. I must have hit over 100 sales this weekend and boy did I have some great finds.

At a thrift store I found a PS1 Dual Shock controller, a PS2 Dual Shock 2 controller, both $2 each and a Game Boy Advance SP (101) with Sims 2 cart for $5.

And now the garage sales...

I saw an add advertising Nintendo with games and got there right as they opened. When I asked about it they said someone knocked on their door the day before and bought it. I hate when people do this.  :-\

Next sale advertised a Genesis and I get there and see its still there. It was $25 but she said she'd take $20. The games where meh but I still picked it up.

SNES
I found three SNES finds this week and one you wont believe.
First a boxed SNES game for $1. Too bad it was a sport game.
- PGA Tour 96
Next I ask a guy about games and the he said he had some original Nintendo games. He brings out 5 SNES games. I offer $10 and he said okay then his wife starts yelling at him that she wanted to see those games. (I'm thinking crap shes not going to sell them or want way to much) Shes shuffles through them and says I can't take $10 for these, I'll go $15.  :D
- Vegas Stakes
- Super Caesars Palace
- Donkey Kong Country 2
- Super Mario World
- Contra III
And last I stop at a sale and ask about games, she tells me they sold everything they had out. I ask what they had and she tells me Wii games. I comment that I was out looking for old video games and she says hold on I might have something. She brings out a large box FULL of SNES games.  :o She tells me she didn't want to sell them all and starts making two stacks she tells me she would sell all but 6 games. I ask what she would sell the 21 games for? and she says $5 for all of them.  :o :o :o
I pay her the $5 then offer her $10 for six she held and she thinks and looks through them and says she'd sell all but one. (Super Mario All-Stars & Super Mario World combo cart) and says she'll take $8 for the five games. so for $13 I got 26 SNES games.  ;D

Like almost all Sunday i've come back home with a few games from a garage sale :

PS2
Bloody Roar 4 (CIB - 1€)
Canis Canem Edit (Bully) (No Manual - 1€)

PS3
Need for Speed: Undercover (CIB - 2€)
One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2 (CIB - 2€)

PSP
Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep (CIB - 2,50€)
Street Fighter Alpha3 Max (CIB - 2,50€)

N64
Pokémon Stadium 2 (CIB - 2€  8))

PC
Civilization IV (CIB - 1€)
Dofus (i've done some research and it was part of a big collector edition, still i've got the OST inside - 0,50€)
Doom 3 (CIB - 1€)
Final Fantasy VIII (Even if the backcover have a barcode i think it came in a big box so i don't consider it complete, and strangely the case is a 4 CD Playstation 1, at first i even though it was the PS1 version with another cover ;D - 0,50€)
Le Temple du Mal Elementaire (The Temple of Elemental Evil) (CIB - 1€)

I even got a official X360 pad (wired sadly but for 2 bucks i won't complain) and a card game based on Spirited Away for free with the two Disney DVD (0,50€ each).



And i have added something pretty big Friday just after work, i accompanied a few friends in a small bar (i don't drink so i don't usually go with them) and in this bar i heard the bartender and his wife complaining about a Megatouch Force 2005 that stopped working two months ago and wanted to trow it away to gain space, what do you think i've done ? Yes now it take space in my house (buyed it for a few drinks to my friends who are also friend with the bartender ;)), it need a LOT of cleaning and unsurprisingly it didn't work (the screen work but only show a "No Signal" message). I will have to open it (they didn't have the key for it and since i don't want to break it i will try others option) to see what's inside and maybe repair it, and if i can't maybe i can give it a second life since apparently it's possible to modify it to run Mame (never done that before so i will have to check a few tuto to see what i need).

I still haven't bought anything.

I imagine this is what getting off crack feels like.

Finally managed to purchase this title, had been looking for a good deal at Mercado Libre but the damn bastards even for an used game wants in the worst case 48 bucks but thats besides the point cause managed to get a copy of Splatterhouse with the help of one partner from the office who purchased this one for me at his eBay account and it only cost me 10 bucks and the shipping was free, guess that am gonna ask him a couple of more favors so that way I can get those titles that am unable to find here in Mexico got a couple of them in mind but money at least for me don't grow up on trees  :(


I don't want to be horny anymore, I just want to be happy

You have to drill the lock out. I know a bunch of people in my local area who have arcade and pinball games, they have to do that kind of thing sometimes when they buy something used.

The ole rotary lock pick.
It's not hard and it doesn't hurt anything. Well, other than the lock.
Just YouTube it.

Ordered some stuff from Amazon because it was cheap.  Got P.N. 03 CIB, Viewtiful Joe 2 CIB, and what was supposed to be Harvest Moon A Wonderful Life Black label CIB, but arrived as player's choice and missing manual.  That Harvest Moon is going back.

Also got Star Fox Command finally.
