Weekend finds 10/16 - 10/17

[charitycasegreg]

All I got in the past week is a few strategy guides for new games becasue they were cheap. And I got a tmnt lunch box and tmnt life jacket. And the follwowing loose nes games:
Bee 52
Pro Wrestling
Rolling thunder. I will edit this thread with my finds from our city wide garage sale day from 2 weekends ago.

[Pedro Lambrini]

I got a perfect condition boxed Game Gear with a few 1st party boxed accessories and 2 mint boxed games (sonic Chaos and Super Space Invaders) - £41.00 (yeah, I know! But it is all immaculate.) That's about it - so far!

[AFGiant]

I just hit up this house having a garage sale on my street. They have them often, and I remembered they had some Genny stuff once. That's gone, but they had 2 boxes of comic books/manga comics!
I got:
Inuyasha, 1-9 (2 wasn't there though :roll:
and this Amazing Spiderman comic from 1990 that looked like it was local to my area, because the front cover had an advertisement for my local paper on it.
$3 for all 9.

I'm thinking about maybe going back and buying some more, because they had a series of Ranma 1/2, Oh, My Goddess!, No Need for Tenchi, and Tenchi Muyo. They also had some star wars memoribilia-type stuff. I'm not really interested in it though.
The reason I left early is because there was no one else there, and the guy was keeping a close eye on me. I felt uncomfortable because there were all the boxes of Maxim and similar magazines and I'm not 18 :o

haha, I love garage sales liek that. Im 16 and when I go to garage sales with old playboys I usually comment on it or start jokingly looking through it and reading one of the subtitle things otu loud : "flip, flip, flip... How to last longer to both give and recieve an orgasm"

And there's one thing I've been wondering for a while. Does CIB stand for Complete In Box? Sorry for such a newbie-ish question, but I never learned that :o

[grimbal]

Yes.

[AFGiant]

Yes.

Thanks! I know, it shows I'm new to the forum. I've seen it so many times and thought it was that every time, but I was never 100% certain. I'm glad I don't get flamed here like I would on GameFAQs :P

[grimbal]

Everybody's got to start somewhere. We'll only flame you if you do or ask something really stupid. ;)

If nobody has greeted you here yet....Welcome!

[AFGiant]

hehe, I'm not that new.
I've been coming since August. I recognize most of the regs here, have read hours and hours into the topics, and have been marvled by all the awesomeness of the community here. The only thing, as best I can tell, that I'm still not getting is some of the abbreviations. I'm up to speed with most other things here at DP. Thanks for the welcome anyways, and game on! :)

[Gapporin]

And there's one thing I've been wondering for a while. Does CIB stand for Complete In Box? Sorry for such a newbie-ish question, but I never learned that :o

It can also stand for "Cart, Instructions, Box", but it basically means the same thing.

For those of you that don't know, the handle of the Graflex flash gun was used to make the lightsaber props in the original Star Wars movies, and ones like the one I got sell for around $80.00 on ebay to people who are building their own authentic lightsabers. :)
