Was sick with the Flu this last week, By the weekend I was feeling a little better but was only able to stay out garage salin for only a few hours before I had to get home and lie down. While there wasn't a ton of pick-ups I did find some rare Xbox games.

First my store/online pick ups...

PS4
Odin Sphere - Storybook Edition
Atelier Sophie: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Book - Limited Edition

PS3
- 3D Dot Game Heroes (this game has been going up in price lately)

Now for the Garage sale pick ups...

A random Skylanders Figure I think I'm missing for $1.

Some Strategy guides for cheap.
- Super Smash Bros. Brawl ($2)
- Super Mario Galaxy 2 ($1)

Wii
Found a lot of Wii games, most of these games don't have much of a story see on table and buy. Although I was about to get them to lower the price from $5 each to $2 for a few of these games.  8)
- Looney Tunes: Acme Arsenal ($1)
- Skate City Heroes ($1)
- Batman: The Brave and the Bold the Videogame ($2)
- Megamind ($2)
- Redneck Jamboree ($2)
- Michael Jackson: The Experience ($2)
- Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection ($1 - Sealed)
- Beyblade Metal Fusion: Battle Fortress ($1)
- Just Dance ($1)
- Buck Fever ($1)
- Ben 10 Ultimate Alien ($1)
- Madagascar Kartz ($1)
- Medal of Honor Vanguard ($2)
- Medal of Honor Heroes 2 ($2)
- Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition ($2)

XB360
- Saw ($2)
- Captain America: Super Soldier ($1)
- Kinect Star Wars ($1)

NDS
- USA Today Crossword Challenge ($1)
- Sega Casino ($2 - Sealed)

PS2
- Sega Classics Collection ($1)
- Onimusha 2 ($1)

I stopped at a HUGE community sale, I get there and I'm told that they started the sale the day before and it was "supposed to be only for people who lived in the subdivision"  BUT it seemed several resellers got in and bought everything. I almost left but this community was a bit of a drive to get to so I stuck around did find a few things.

GEN
The third sale I hit I ask about games and the lady said she had a Sega. She pulls a Console out of a box with a game in it. No hookups just the console. She says I can have it for $5. With the game it came with I couldn't pass.  ;)
- Streets of Rage 2

After hitting a few more sales I started to hear your the second person to ask today. Crap someone else is ahead of me asking about games. So I drive past many sales to try and get a head of him. Next thing I know I find two good finds.

First was a sale that on the map the community was giving out listed "Video games" I figured it was going to be nothing good left but there was a few good pieces.
GC
- Star Wars Bounty Hunter ($2)
- Gamecube Wavebird Controller with sensor ($3)
N64
- Banjo Tooie ($2)
GBC
- ESPN National Hockey Night ($1)

PS1
- Namco Museum Vol. 1 ($1)
- Playstation Underground vol. 2 - 4 (sealed)

N64
I find this one game in a box full of toys marked .25c
- Ready 2 Rumble Boxing

Then at the sale right next door I see a huge tub full of Xbox games priced at $2 each and was surprised to see what games where in there.
XB
- Reign of Fire
- Commandos 2
- 50 Cent Bulletproof (sealed)
- Godzilla: Save the Earth
- The House of the Dead III
- Star Wars Jedi Knights II: Jedi Outcast
- Silent Hill 2
- Silent Hill 4: The Room (SEALED)  :)
- Aliens vs. Predator: Extinction  :)
- Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis (probably the rarest game for Xbox)  ;D ;D ;D

At another sale I see a PS1 console on the table, with all hookups, an off brand controller and a Memory Card for $2. I was going to pass then I looked inside to see if there was a game inside and yes there was. A game that sells for $20 loose.
- Gekioh: Shooting King

And last I hit a sale and ask about games, the young man said yeah He might have some stuff. He brings out a bunch of scrap games but I see something that made me do a double take. It was a large oversized famicom Legend of Zelda cart.
I look at it and wonder where the hell this came from and the guy showed me it opened up to be a calculator. It was so cool I had to have it. I ask a price and he says $1.  ;D Next I see the Club Nintendo Mario Galaxy Coin (CIB) and that too he wants $1. Next a see two empty NDS boxes and again $1 each. He also had a bunch of Club Nintendo Zelda posters. But he wanted $2 each on those. lol I still bought a few (sorry no pic)

No arcades this week, sorry guys. lol  (although I did find a nice cocktail arcade at a cheap price I wanted, but it was a five hour trip one way to go get it.)  :-\

The only other point of interest was I bumped into my old "pal" Slick the reseller and he tells me he just picked up a CIB NES Deluxe Set with Rob (no idea just how complete it was) and was asking me if I knew anything about it and if I knew anyone who would want to buy it and I ask a price knowing he just loves to brag and he says at least $300 and I tell him sorry I can't help him. Every time I bump into this guy Hes always bragging and rubbing in about what he found.  ::)
Funny thing is every time he asks me what I find I say the same thing. "Meh, Nothing special."  ;)

I also bumped into a fellow collector who also does a lot of garage sales and we got to talking and we took each others info down and I hope we can trade extras we get.  ;)

Licking my wounds... My roommate and his gf are having a garage sale in front our place and I made the  mistake of realizing right at the start of the sale that they had a game gear, gameboy color, and a ds. It was sold right at the start of the sale before I had a chance to ask about it. Apparently they had a lime green GBC still in the box, and the gf gave away the Game Gear with it for free  :'(

Forgot to mention that I also got System Shock 2 for free from GoG. If you download their GoG Galaxy Client (basically their version of Steam software), you get the game for free.

Just added R-Type III to my collection. Was really looking forward to it. Turns out the condition is much worse than expected and advertised. Currently negotiating about a refund from the seller...  >:(

There's this new string of outlet stores opening in the Middle Tennessee area (Bargain Hunt) that has a date on all of their price tags, so the longer something is in the store the cheaper it gets.  The newer locations are having a flat 50% of deal on all video games (since the date thing doesn't work if they've only been open 2 weeks).

So far this month I have picked up:

PSP
Hot Shows Golf
Dual Pack: Syphon Filter / SOCOM

PS1
Skydiving Extreme

Vita
Lumines

Wii U
007 Legends

PS3
Dead Space 2
ICO / Shadow of the Colossus Collection


All for around $20, and that is after the ICO / Colossus was $13 of it.

And I also picked up Demon's Souls (PS3) at a Used Media store that I still have tons of credit at after buying a crate full of CDs at a yard sale for $15.  That credit has also previously been used for Mad Max (PS4) and Dragon Warrior (NES)
