I stopped at a sale and asked for games, the lady said she had some game boys, She goes inside and comes out with a Black DSi and a White DS. No games in them and no chargers. I ask about games and she said she threw them away.
I look at them and the DSi would not turn on. But the DS did and the top screen was messed up. She said she would take $4 for both and I bought them. The DS I wanted the GBA cover and I'll take a chance on the DSi.

At a random sale I find a Boxed Entex Electronic Space Invader game. Its missing the battery cover but she only wanted $1 for it. I couldn't say no. lol
PS1At a sale I ask about video games and the guy said he had one PS1 game. I'm thinking it's gotta be crap. He goes in his house and brings out a PS1 game that wasn't crap.
- Metal Gear Solid ($2)
Next at a sale I ask about games and she says her husband has a old Playstation he never uses. She goes in to ask him and he comes out with a box with a PS1 and about 10 games. It was mostly sport games but there was four worth getting. He says $2 each and I bought these four.
- Crash Bandicoot (missing manual)
- Crash Bandicoot 3 Warped
- Spyro the Dragon
- Spyro Year of the Dragon
INTVAt a huge community sale that a fellow game collector was also at so I was trying to stay ahead of him. I see a table with a bunch of boxed Intellivision games and PS3 games. She wanted $10 each for the PS3 games (nothing I wanted at that price) and $5 on the INTV games. I try and get a better price but she wouldn't go down. I picked out one game just because I wanted the box bad enough to pay $5.
- Buzz Bombers (CIB)
N64I heard about a huge Highway sale. It stretched for 40 miles along one highway. I go out there and its mostly rural farm houses. At one of them I ask about games and she says did I see the one on the table? I follow her and see a plastic bag, I open it and see an N64 with about six games. It was priced at $10 and it came with the Ram Expansion Pak.
- Wave Race 64
- Madden Football 64
- Madden NFL 2001
- V-Rally 99
- Nascar 99
- Star Wars: Rogue Squadron
Then at another sale down the road I ask about games. The man there said his son has a bunch of stuff, like a XB360 and a Gamecube. I ask if he wanted to sell and he said he didn't know his son wasn't going to be home for two hours. He pulls out a tub and its mostly PC crap and a few scrap XB360 games but I find a N64 bag and a GBA game and he sells me both for $4. the GBA game was Army Men Advance. (forgot to include it in pictures) I tell him I'll be back in a couple hours to talk to his son about the Gamecube. I continue hitting the sales along this highway finding some the stuff I listed above. I return to the sale and I talk to the dad and he goes to get his son. He brings out the Gamecube and its mostly crappy games. He wanted $40 for the lot, and while not a bad deal it wasn't enough good games for me to be worth it. The only game I picked out was Goldeneye Rogue Agent I listed above for $2. I ask if he had anything else and the dad asked his son about the N64. The son says He thinks one of his friends took it. But goes to check. A few minutes later he comes out with a large tub and its full of N64 goodness. I ask a price and he says $30 and I hand him the money.

ARCADEAnd last two arcade cabinets I've always wanted. I swear all of a sudden I'm finding great Arcade deals. First I found on a resale app someone was selling a Donkey Kong. Their asking price was $800. I ask them if they would take $500 and he said yes. I travel 40 miles to look at it and its in great shape. I had to buy it.
Next almost a week later I see a Pac-Man Arcade for sale. They where asking $600. I ask if they would take $400 and they come back with $450 it's yours. This time I had to travel about 50 miles to see it and it was in awesome shape. The only issues I could find was the back panel was locked and he lost the key and the Player One button didn't work. I knew both of these should be easy fixes, I tell them about its going to cost me money to repair the button and get someone to open the back and make a key so they take $50 off. So I get it at $400. I get it home drill out the lock and open the back then check out the P1 button and see its only a cord came undone. easy fix.
These are my favorite Arcade Cabinets I own.
