I hit a small neighborhood sale with maybe 8 sales. It was all nothing til I hit the very last sale. I ask the lady about video games and she tells me no. Then as I was looking at the rest of the sale I hear her talking about her grand kids like to play her Nintendo when they come over. I if she might want to sell any they don't play? She says she doesn't have much, just a small canister of games. (so I'm thinking maybe 5 games) to my surprise she said she'll show me what she had. She comes out with a large tub FULL of SNES and N64 games. There must have been close to 100 games in this thing.
She starts to go though them and pulls out about half of them saying she knows she couldn't sell these. (mostly the classics, Super Mario World, Mario Kart, DKC1, 2, 3, Star Fox, etc.) I look at the left overs and ask what she would sell the rest for? She thinks a minute but says she really doesn't want to sell them all because she's not sure what others her grand kids play. So she tells me she'd sell me only 5 of the games. I pick out five and she tells me she'd sell those 5 for $25. I payed her before she changed her mind. lol
Here's the ones I got, (You should have seen what I had to leave behind.) I was lucky to get these.
SNES- Brutal: Paws of Fury
- Mechwarrior
- Street Racer
- Ninja Warriors
N64- Snowboard Kids 2 (label is torn, but it's a rare game)
And now the last pick up I had this weekend. I found out about a town wide garage sale event to late, It started on Thursday but I didn't find out about it til Saturday. It was in a small town 40 miles away. I almost didn't go but saw one of the sales listed "Video Game Stuff", so I figured what the heck and drove to the town. I hit the sale that advertised video game stuff and see nothing. I ask and they tell me they had a Guitar Hero and Rockband set. I hit all the sales finding a few of the stuff I listed above (the PS2, XB, XB360 and NDS games) but nothing great. Again the LAST sale I hit I ask about video games and the guy says "I just sold a Sega Genesis yesterday".
I was disappointed and ask him what games it had? He tells me it had no games because it was an extra, He still had his Genesis inside. I ask if he'd sell anything he wasn't playing and he thinks a second them tells me he'd go look. He brings out a case full of PS1 and PS2 games. Most where nothing special, I pick out a few PS1 games then he comes out with a HUGE box. I open it and see a Sega Genesis, Sega CD and 32X mixed in with a bunch of other random electronics. I pull out all the stuff belonging with the Sega systems and ask him if he's selling it all. After some talking we agree at $45 for everything here.
