Well, I went back for more Garage sale action Saturday. Not as good as Friday, but here is what I got:

4 Handheld games 75 cents each

Godzilla
Alladdin
Star trek 25th anniversary
rocketeer

N64 System, 2 controllers, gameboy transfer pak w/ 18 games $40
This makes my 7th N64(3 in the past 3 weeks). Here are the games:

Tony Hawk 2
Madden 99
Goldeneye
Mario Party
Mario 64
Harvest Moon 64
Bass Hunter 64
Starfox 64
F-1 Racing
Bomberman
Rampage WT
Star wars racer
Star Wars Rogue Squadron
Nagano Olympics
Mario Kart
Triple PLay baseball
Buck Bomber?
Pokemon Stadium

I usually Don't pay that much. She had $50 and I talked her down to $40. That breaks down to $2 per game and $4 for the system with 2 good controllers. Not too bad. Also, isn't Harvest Moon a pricey game??

On a non-video game note, I picked up a full size gum machine with cast iron base for $5. I know they go for about $50-60 dollars with the base. When I got it home and opened it up, there was exactly $4 in change in the bottom. So I basically paid $1 for it!! Sweet!!!

[-hellvin-]

I got many many doubles but all together I'd say I picked up about 500+ unique game titles. I have hordes of some box, Super Ghould N Ghosts (15), Super Street Fighter 2 (25), but I also got like 5 of each Lufia, 5 of each final fantasy, ect. My friend got the chrono trigger box and ninja gaiden trilogy box a while ago from the store so I don't have those =\.

Arg....went to like 10 garage sales, nobody had video game stuff they were willing to sell. Im off to the flea market now but it just started raining.... shouuld have went earlier...dang.

EDIT:

Flea market sucked, only half the people were there. Saw some common snes games and passed on em. Got a cybiko at goodwill for .99 and thats all for this weekend...I guess I just had too good of a week and I wasnt meant to get anything this weekend....damn rain.

[portnoyd]

Couldn't pass up a peddler's fair one town over, and found, all for $3 a pop, all for the SNES:

JRR Tolkien's Lord of the Rings Volume 1 Sealed
Jurassic Park 2 Sealed
Xmen: Mutant Apocalypse Sealed
C2: Judgement Clay Sealed
Troddlers Complete
Kid Klown in Crazy Chase Complete
Doom Complete
Ghoul Patrol Complete

And they had about 20 more, that I couldn't afford - all for $3. This is the cream of it, but nothing was that incredibly common either. All the complete games are still in the shrink, just slit at the end. Everything incredibly mint. I'll be going back next month when I have more funds, assuming this table returns...
