Now for Garage Sales...
Hit a sale and saw a stack of DS and 3DS games. The DS games where marked $7 each and the 3DS where $15 each.
I asked about a better price and after bartering a while I finally got him to agree to $10 on 3DS and $4 on DS games.

NDS- Star Wars the Force Unleashed II

PS2- Cabela's Legendary Adventures
- Crash Nitro Kart

At a random sale saw a single 360 game on the table for $1. I only had the collector's edition so why not. Then I see a Game Boy Bag. I pick it up and surprised to see a Game Boy Color (yellow) and so me games in the bag. all for $3.
XB360 - Halo 4
GB/GBC- Driver
- Paperboy
- The Little Mermaid
- Toy Story
I saw one lonely Game Boy game on the table and ask two goth teens running the sale if they had any other games they wanted to sell. They said they had a bunch of N64 games but didn't know where to look for them at the moment. I tried to get them to look but they wouldn't. I gave them my number in case they find them (I hate just giving out my number because 99% of the time they never call) Then the goth boy says I think I have a Pokemon game, I tell him ya I was interested and he runs to get it. He brings out a GBC games and says he wants $15 for it. While not bad, its not great. So I ask about the battery, does it work? He didn't know. So I offered $10 for both GB games and he agreed.
GB/GBC- Donkey Kong Land 2
- Pokemon Gold Version (yep dead battery, I think he did know and which is why he let me have it cheaper)
Stopped at a sale and saw a NES system on the table, Saw a sign on it saying $125 on ebay, $50 firm.
No games, She said someone bought all the games that was with it. but they left a Legendary Wings manual behind. I asked If I could have it and she said ya, take it.
Hit a sale that was a huge rich people's style house, I walk up and see a table full of gaming stuff. A Wii with a bunch of skylanders, a bunch of Xbox360 games, Wii games, an original Xbox and a Top Loader NES. It was marked for only $10. It was missing the AC adapter so she said she would go $5 for it.
Most of the 360 and Wii games where $10 each but a few where marked $5. I saw a Pokemon Battle Revolution marked at $5 was happy to pick that up. (not pictured) but i make a rookie mistake. I didn't look at the disc. I open it later and see it's Pokepark inside. Still not a bad deal for $5, but it's not the game I needed.
On Saturday I raced out to a sale and got their an hour before they said they would open and saw they where already setting up. I walk up and see a stack of about 30 PS2 games all marked .25c each. When I try and look through them I was told they have been already sold. I turn and see one of the Resellers in my area. (The one I nicknamed "Ditz", because she's a blonde who knows nothing about video games other then they sell, she buys up everything that's not a sport title) The was also some PS1 and Genesis games there and she pretty much took everything. (sigh)
And finally I stop at a random sale and look around and see nothing but a V-Smile on the table. I ask about games and the old man says how about these? His wife says "oh he wouldn't want those" I look and see 3 GBA games. One good one the other 2 junk. Then she says I think I have a old Nintendo.
She tells her son to look for it and he brings out a dirty box with a N64 and 15 games. I ask what she would want for the N64 and the 3 GBA games and was told $25.
