Garage sales

[Anonymous No.851202]

$7 for everything here. Fuck, I love garage sales. The nice Asian lady said there was a "whackload" more PS1 games that she's going to give me a call about tomorrow.

A damn shame about the Digimon world insert + booklet, but I suppose I can't complain for the price.

Post your garage sale vidya finds.

[Anonymous No.852820]

No great vidya finds, but I bought a ~$200 lacrosse stick for $1.

[Anonymous No.852827]

>That feel when never find shit at garage sales, or thrift stores and no flea markets in your area.

[Anonymous No.852831]

Ninja gaiden 1 and 2, yellow label metroid, and gold cart legend of Zelda for the nes for 40 bucks, all cleaned and tested with great labels.

It's raining here though, so there's not a lot of yard sales out today. I'll try again next week.

[Anonymous No.852927]

I get about one day like this per year. $20 for everything.

I picked up a NES some and these controllers actually 6 in all for $70.

Not too sure on the games. Could you let me know if they're okay. I hope I didn't spend too much

1/5

[Anonymous No.853009]

>>853006
Then I got Mario and Zelda and some game called Kid Icarus too.

2/5

[Anonymous No.853014]

>>853013
Ninja Turtles. I think there was 3 in all.

[Anonymous No.853013]

>>853009
I've heard contra is a pretty hard game to find. Never heard of the others really except mega man.

3/5

[Anonymous No.853017]

>>853014
Then theres the rest.

So $70 in all.

How'd I do?

[Anonymous No.853015]

>>852959

Sonic for the Game Gear is worth 25 cents, no matter which one it is.

>>852927

I'm happy for you anon. That's a fantastic find.

[Anonymous No.853016]

>>853013
if not trolling, mega man 5 alone is worth 50 dollars, so good job.

would fill you in on the estimated value of it all together but I've gotta run, you did good though.

[Anonymous No.853021]

You did very well, like an another anon said. I've been looking for Mega Man 1 and 5 to no avail myself.

[Anonymous No.853027]

>>853017

You done good. Almost all of those are really good games, and some are valuable to boot.

[Anonymous No.853028]

>>853017
I think 35 is the highest these should of been, mainly because mega man 6 is high priced everything else is between 2 to 4 dollars

Sometimes I wish I owned/was interested in an original xbox, I see games for it more than anything else.

[Anonymous No.853236]

>>853157

I feel the same way. Games for the system are dirt cheap, but probably because so many games for it are shit

[Spellstutter !!wVq+79kUQSw No.853257]

There's a fair amount of Xbox games worth money; San Andreas and several Star Wars games(Old Republic and Battlefront in particular) go for 15s and 20s.

[Anonymous No.853279]

You've still got Pawn shops, The Salvation Army, Gamestop (bargain bin usually has gems), Amazon, Ebay, Craigslist, Swap.com & Video Game Trading sites. If you really want to find vidya look everywhere.

Gamestop doesn't carry anything pre Gen 7 now. And they're starting to waffle on that.

[Anonymous No.853821]

flea market haul
All for about $20, the Vash fig was $10 (I know, not vidya) and it sells for twice that.
Never heard of the ps1 game but figured I'd pick it up since I have a PSOne I've had for a decade and don't own any games. Got the NES for parts/might do a case mod.

[Anonymous No.855694]

Nice haul. Alas, my area is DOOMED because at least one reseller actually told me of his get-em-all gang which raids all yard sales, thrift stores, rummage sales, and other classic game nests for him. If he weren't such a nice fellow with prices below eBay's closed-sales-with-actual-bids levels, I'd hate his goddamn guts,

[Anonymous No.856242]

>>856223
I hear that. While I am friends with a few local game collectors... One is the pricing manager at Value Village and another is spamming everyone local to hook him up.

Here comes the coolstorybro: I have about 3 ladies who hit up random garage sales that I wouldn't even bother at. If they see /vr/ I get a text. The pic was from one sent to me, some guy who does the 'Storage Wars' BS didn't have any idea what he had. I was ready to give him $50 until I opened the NES and it was full of empty VHS Cases.

>another recent score

[Anonymous No.857893]

Just picked this up for $5. Is it supposed to not have instructions?

I went to a pawn shop yesterday and they had the n64 mystical ninja goemon but it was the jp version so I saw no reason to buy it.

[Anonymous No.857978]

>>857893
Sort of. That's the version of the game that was packaged with the 3D controller. The game came in an oversized box and the instructions were inside said box and were the size of your average Saturn game's booklet. I guess they didn't print a jewel case manual for cost reasons. Always kind of annoyed me.

Got a Toshiba 34" HD CRT for free. Going to trade it.

Got a tub of Warhammer figures, probably 500-700 with a rulebook and three D&D 3e PHBs, one 3.5 and a DMG for $10

Gamestop recently stopped (or will stop) buying PS2 games. So I figure if you want to bulk up your PS2 libraries, start going through their racks, prices will drop as they try to clear out inventory.

[Anonymous No.859308]

Do the speakers work? I picked up a 34'' Toshiba HDCRT myself about a month ago, and the speakers were toast. Apparently happened to a lot of models.

[Anonymous No.859515]

>>859296
I already did that. Everything PS2 left at Gamestop sucks and has probably been put in a landfill. Ditto Family Video, but I got a lot of sweet PS2 shit while that lasted. Still no Haunting Ground or Rule of Rose though.

>>859308
Yeah they're fine. I just schlepped it up to the guy's room I wanted to trade with and hooked it up tonight. Not quite as sharp as I was expecting out of 1080i and has some weird image size issue when it goes back and forth from right to dark colored screens. Some weird wobble. I also had to adjust the tilt +5 but that might have happened while it was getting manhandled. On the good side, though, the colors are insane bright. Just as bright as my plasma with none of that red sizzle.

$75

[Anonymous No.860548]

I got 6 CIB Intellivision games (all sports unfortunately) and a Pelican component switchbox for $7 at a Goodwill because of a cashier's mistake. The switchbox was originally $7, and the games were $6 a piece. The games had been there a while and I'd passed them by many times before because of the price. That day, when I was in line to pay for the switchbox, I saw a manager nearby and asked her about lowering the price of the games, and she informed me that since they'd been in the store for over a month, their and the switchbox's prices had been halved, and I thought $3 a game was reasonable enough. Then the cashier got confused and only charged me $3.50 for the entire stack of games. I realized she'd made a mistake before the transaction was finished and chose to say nothing.

Not exactly /vr/, but I found Windwaker, Four Swords Adventures, and The Legend of Zelda Collector's Edition for the Gamecube for $2 each at a yard sale once. Had the cover arts, cases, manuals, and discs.

Apart from that my local area sucks, not just for yard sales, but for vidya older than current generation.

For $44.95 I got the following NES games in great condition:

It was actually in the free bin at my local game store. No cables, dirty as hell, but it was free and the only Model 1 Genesis I'd seen around here in several years. Borrowed my roommate's copy of Thunderforce 4 to test it. Power switch is full of dust and I had to splice an NES adapter's plug onto a 10v Sega power adapter, but the damn thing works.
