    The PS1 games were $0.50 each. I got Rayman, Brunswick Wake Boarding, Activision Classic Games, The Hercules Action Adventure Game, and Pac-Man World. The (kinda beat-up) TI-81 calculator was $2. I found the complete, with a tattered box, copy of Sewer Shark for $1. The weird thing was that I found Sewer Shark sitting on top of a box of baby toys. The person running the sale had no idea were it came from. At least the disc is in good shape. After seeing Spoony's review of it I don't think I want to play it. The copy of Lords of the Realm II was $1. Lords of Magic is one of my favorite games so I think I'll like this game. And last but not least, the complete copy of Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 was $3.

    That's about it. I really didn't find much today, even though my city was having one of those "city-wide" garage sale things (and there were a TON of sales today, I guess there was just a ton of crappy sales and a few pretty good ones.)
    Check my auctions here! I am in the business of finding off-beat things, including video game stuff!

    I almost didn't buy it either since the lady originally wanted $10 and I only had $9. It looked like she was getting ready to say no until I took the cash out of my wallet and waved it around in front of her.

    1st Party A/V Cord & Power

    Ring King
    Super Mario/Duck Hunt
    Super Mario/Duck Hunt/Track Meet
    Super Tecmo Bowl

    $5


    Asked about video games at this sale and out of a barn in the backyard came this. About As dirty as systems get the NES games are going to take some serious cleaning. As I was looking it over the girl said I could have it all for $5 which I paid. I've been hoping to find Ring King as I don't have it and this being the first time I've seen one in the wild over the last few years. Excitebike 64 is the worst conditioned N64 game I've ever seen in person and I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't work after I get around to cleaning up these games.



    Sega Genesis 1 With Sega CD 2
    1st Party 3 Button Controller
    1st Party RF Adaptor
    2 1st Party Power Adaptors

    $2


    Saw this without a price offered two dollars which was taken. It belonged to a family member that wasen't around which usually gets me blocked or hindered at a fair amount of sales around me when haggling on just about anything with a price on it but without a price it went ok as they knew that they wanted it gone.

    Watermelon N64
    1st Party Watermelon Controller
    3rd Party Gold Controller
    Banjo-Kazooie (PC)
    Mario Kart 64
    Army Men: Sarge's Heroes
    World Driver Campionship

    $3


    Found this in a shoe box without a price below a table at a sale. Asked if they had any other games at this sale and they said that somebody just bought a big box of games but I'm thinking it was probably just a Playstation as the one lady at the sale though that the N64 was a Playstation when I brought it up. I asked about the hook ups missing and offered $3 which was taken. This is my first colored N64 and the first one I've seen in the wild in years.

    Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door
    Pikmin (PC)
    Game Card Amror Case
    Game Boy Binder

    $7


    The GameCube Games were marked $5 each and were complete and in good shape with no scatches that I noticed looking at them, the others .50 & .75 Offered $7 for everything. The Armor Case are individual casees for DS cards and the binder has pages in it for Game Boy games similar to the pages for sports cards (not exactly sure what they are called) and have a zip lock bag type lock for each spot you can put a game in. Rather generic but neat and I actually could use it has I have some loose Game Boy games without cases.

    NES Advantage - $1

    Asked about games and from a box down below I didn't check closely enough a lady pulled this out. Has a sticker with a name & $5 on it as if it's been out during a yardsale(s) in previous years and didn't sell. Lady running the sale said I could have it for a $1 as she handed it to me and I didn't bother counter offering as I though it was fair. As I was leaving she said that her son has a bunch of NES stuff that was left behind in her attic that she would get rid of so I left my e-mail with her in hopes that she gets in touch with me about it.

    First sale I went to today at 8 as they had Atari with games & extras in the advertisment. I am usually late and in this case it was 5 minutes after 8 as I walked up to the sale. I saw a guy leaving with a big box and saw a loose Woodgrain 2600 on top. I asked him if they had anything else and the lady at the sale said they had another Atari with some games. I asked the guy if Adventure was included in his bundle saying how it's one I've been hoping to find for awhile and he looked and found one and said I could have it! The box probably had about 40-50 games total and what I did see was all fairly common AFAIK and nothing I was too upset about missing noticed 2 Pitfalls in his box along with 2 ETs He mentioned that he paid $25 and said it was a good deal and seemed rather happy said that he already had a system but it didn't work or didn't work very well. I checked out the other system they still had and it had a shoe box with 21 games & a boxed system in a small white garbage bag that had writing on it that said $25 with games & extras. I picked out a few games I was mostly interested in and was gonna try and offer .50 per a game for them. I instead decided to offered $10 for the last bundle which was accepted. The lady running the sale was actually really nice and I talked to her for a few minutes, she was telling me how they don't really like newer games and have just recently moved on to the NES fairly recently. Said that one system belong to them and the other was her parents or something like that probably so the kids had a game system to entertain them at the grandparents house.

    Loose NES cartridges, 1.99 each at one of the Goodwills on my "route."

    Mike Tyson's Punch Out!
    Super Mario Bros 3
    Shinobi

    (Probably flip the MTPO and use the Mario as bundle bait.)

    Complete Genesis games, 1.99 each at another Goodwill:

    Ballz 3d
    Batman Forever
    Bubble and Squeak
    Cyberball
    Ex-Mutants
    Fatal Fury
    Ms Pac-Man
    Mutant League Football
    PGA Tour Golf
    Powerball
    Rocket Knight Adventures
    Stargate
    TMNT Tournament Fighters

    Probably add most if not all of these to the Genesis collection that I'm apparently working on.

    Well as it turns out, there was no Nox game in that big box I bought. Oh well. $1 still aint bad for everything it came with.

    The guides were 5 bucks
    Game Gear games were $3 each
    I also picked up Bioshock for $25 but I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it or not since I wasn't a big fan of the demo
