Biggest Mistake I Ever Made!

[garagesaleking!!]

I still want to shoot myself over this. This is really a pointless thread i just have to spill my guts about this.

About 4 years ago i would say there was the annual community garage sale near me. It is in the nicest plan in about a 50 mile radius i would say. Its a gated golf community. they have tons of homes and multiple plans. They are probably over 300 houses and are about 750,000 to million dollar homes.

This was before i was into video games and i was young and did not have a lot of money other than like allowance.

The one year i remember this garage. You walked in and the wall was lined with nintendo stuff. She said she worked for nintendo and her husband did as well. But she clearly did not know anything really had any value.

I looked around and though it was cool but i did not buy anything. I did not have any money at the time and my parents were not doing so well with money and they could not really buy anything.

She was selling all nintendo stuff.

Heres what i can remember.

She had 2 full size tote bins full of game boy advance games. Like probably a thousand or more. And remeber this is when gba was new technology. She was asking 5 a game or you get a deal if you buy more than one.

She had sp systems for 10, she had like 15 of them all colors.

regular advances were 5, she had about 10.

She had gamecubes and games all over the place. i did not really know anything about gamecube so i did not pay much attention.

She had nintendo neon signs and display cases and backpacks and all kinds of memorablila she was basically giving away.

The stuff was not junk either or like a bunch of sports games. There was all kinds of mario stuff and good games. There was probably really rare titles.

I go go on all day about what they had but it just kills me.

The one thing i bought was an advance for 5, but thats it. It was really funny a tote bin of gba games weighed like 100 pounds.

I am being 100% serious about this, this is not a fictional story. It was like a fairy tale dream come true, i wish it would of happened today and not back then.

O well, theres my nightmare i live every day.



EDIT: I forgot to mention every year i still go back to the community sale and look for her house. I have a general idea of where the house was, but i think they moved, i have not seen them since.
