I saw 2 ads on Friday advertising "Video Games" I hit the one closest to me and a reseller beat me. (this guy is one of the most annoying of the resellers) but they had high prices and it was all PS1, Wii and loose NDS stuff and there was nothing I wanted. As the reseller was trying hard to get a deal I jumped in my car and raced to the second one, and I got there right as they opened. no one else there.

On Saturday a ad ran on craigslist advertising Atari, Vectrex, C64, PS2, PS3 and other Video games. I thought that this could be a fake, so I hit it second. And it wasn't a fake it was a serious collector selling some of his stuff. His prices where under or at retail but wasn't "garage sale" deals. The Vectrex was $150, it worked but it was beat up pretty bad. There was even a couple extra screws and a brace holding together an area the casing cracked. There was a Mint in box Amiga Computer for $250 I was temped on, but not really a computer guy and really didn't want to drop that kind of dough. We got to talking and he took me in his huse and showed me his collection. The guy was a huge Amiga collector, also loved Atari systems, TI99 T16, PCE & INTV had a lot of 2600, JAG and INTV homebrews, A few I didn't know existed. He showed me some items he'd sell and here's what I got, cost me $50 to get all this. Felt more like convention prices, but still wasn't to bad.
- PCE controller
- An Bally Astrocade Manual
- Commando (INTV)
- Klax (2600)
- Starfire (with Manual)
And last the one that got away, The one I wanted to buy so bad, but the guy wanted way to much for it.
I stopped at a random sale and saw a couple crappy Wii games and asked the guy there if he had anything else video games. He said he had an Xbox, At first I was thinking, don't really need another Xbox. I asked what color was it? He said Green. My eyes lit up. Yes I want to see it. He goes inside and in a while he comes out with a Mountain Dew Xbox COMPLETE IN BOX with about 5 games. I was excited as hell. I asked what He wanted for it and he said.... $450. NOOOOOOO!!!!!
He said he saw them selling for over $1000 on Ebay. WTF. He was firm on the price and I had to pass, I really wanted it but there's no way I'll pay $450 for one. Later I stopped at a local game store and I asked them what they would sell a CIB Dew Xbox for and they looked it up and said $250. I told them about the $450 one and they laughed their ass off.
Sigh, I always wanted to find a Dew Xbox from a garage sale, and when I finally find one it's over priced.
