And last the two best pick ups from that town wide sale.
A couple hours into the sales it felt like a lost cause, mostly hearing "Your the third person to ask that." when I ask about games or even "I just sold it all just a few minutes ago." I was mostly picking up the scraps I listed above. I finally stop at a sale and ask about games and the lady said you'll have to ask him, pointing at her son. He tells me he has a bunch of stuff. He first brings out an arm full of controllers, all off brand and from NES, SNES, PS1 & PS2. I ask if he had any games. He said He had so much and to follow him into his house. He takes me down stairs and he has boxes full of NES, SNES, PS1 & PS2 games.
He said he didn't want to sell them all and starts to go through them and picking out the ones he would sell. He makes a pile of NES & SNES first. A few times He even put one in the pile to sell then changed his mind.
He even found a couple GB games and tossed thim in the sell pile. Then asked me to see if I wanted any in the PS1 & PS2 games. I looked but only picked out two PS1 games. I ask about a price and he said $20 and I give him the money. But I wasn't done, I saw one other game I had to try to get, I tell him I'd give him another $20 just for one more game. I show him the game and he thought about it and said sure and took my money.
Here's all I got.

Late in the day I stop at a sale and I ask about video games, she tells me her son's had a huge PC setup and she bet their gaming setup was better then anything I had. So I tell her I'll take that bet. lol
She looked at me strange, I tell her I have pictures to prove it. She backed out of the bet. lol
I show her the pictures of my game room and her jaw dropped, she started yelling at her kids to come out and see this. After everyone looked at it and they all couldn't believe someone had so many games. I ask the kids if they had anything like Nintendo, Sega etc to sell and they said no. They where into PC gaming.
The mother said her dad has a bunch of that stuff at his house when she was a kid, let me take your number and I'll call you if he still has it. I give her my number, I wasn't expecting a call back (90% of the time they never do.) Later that day I get a text saying she found a bunch of stuff and sends me a picture. She said she'll have it the next day. So I travel back to her sale and she pulls out a box FULL of gaming stuff. After looking through it all, we talk price and we agree on $70 for everything. After I leave she texts me back asking for pictures of my game room, she wanted to show her dad who bought their games. lol
