Found Tony Hawk American Wasteland on Gamecube and grabbed Demons Souls on PS3 from a pawn shop.  Not a great deal on Demons Souls, your basic pricing, but just wanted to grab it to have.

Grabbed the Nintendoland / Luigi Wiimote Plus bundle that was on clearance at Best Buy for $30.  Now I need the Peach Wiimote, and I suppose I'll have to end up importing the Yoshi one.  :-\

Man I hate the flea market in the summer, so few people selling things at the garage sale section.  Wasn't a complete bust, but not much I was really looking for.  Kinda funny I was talking about not wanting to ever own Atari, but I will totally take an anthology of 85 Atari games to fool around with when I want to lol

Now story time...
I stopped at a garage sale that advertised "Vintage handheld video games" when I got there i asked about them and he pointed to two PSP's, at first I was disappointed then he pulled out an Atari Lynx with about 8 games (nothing rare) the system was in pretty beat up shape, scratched the hell up in a discolored carry bag, but the games where in nice shape. I asked how much and he came back with $120.  :o He was saying they are so rare that they never appear on ebay and would sell fast if he put it on there. So i asked if he could sell some of the games and he wanted $30 a game.  :o
At this point I just walked.

Then I saw and ad on craigslist for a seller at a flea market selling tons of rare/obscure games. So I made the trip and I found out why he had a lot of rarer games in stock. His prices where almost double what they sell for on Ebay. He wanted $70 for a loose SNES for crying out loud. Even the cheaper games where crazy priced, a game that sells for $20 he wanted $30-$40. At this point I stopped asking prices and walked.
"Happy game hunting!!!"

I am seriously jealous of that PSP - that thing is NICE! :D

I didn't even look at sales this weekend - holding off for the world's longest yard sale next weekend.  REALLY hoping I have some of your luck! ;)  The only thing that sucks is that it runs Thurs - Sun, but I can't leave work until noon Fri because my boss is going too and we can't both take off at the same time.  :(

Went to a car-boot sale today, got quite a lot of pretty frickin' cool stuff.

PS2:
Red Dead Revolver

PS1:
Caesars Palace
Doom (In an odd double case - the other side had a manual for Road Rash and a random PlayStation Magazine demo disc)
Gran Turismo
Grand Theft Auto
SoulBlade
Tekken
Tenchu: Stealth Assassins (x2)
Tenchu 2
Worms



Cost me a grand total of £4.50 altogether.
Red Dead, Tekken and one of the Tenchu's I got for 50p each, the rest were in a box where the guy just said "You can have all of em for £3", so obviously I couldn't pass that up :3
