My cousins go to a school system in Jersey and it seems like the type of schools you see in the movies/tv shows. Lots of programs, beautiful buildings, very competitive. It makes me wonder how I would have turned out if I didn't go to the sorely underfunded and overcrowded NYC public school system for all those years.
Nice loot today of a yard:
Paid 30R$, the prince of persia was free.
The 32X has no cords but the seller tested it with a multi AC adapter, tough i did not had enough money to pull Star Wars from 32x.
Hunting down to the last breath!
Neverwinter Nights Platinum (Complete ?) - $1
Saw this without a price and offered a buck for it. I don't know what all it came with but it had all 4 disks and came with a manual so it's complete if it didn't come with any extra maps etc.

Found this at the second sale I went to today that I got to at about 8:15 that wasen't gone by that time even with all of this in a bag marked $8. I didn't even bother haggling down since it had somebody's initial by the price. I didn't think it would be good yetiquette either to try and offer less to the two nice old ladies running the sale seeing as $8 was good already. They also had some PS2 games each marked $4 that I passed on only one I would have grabbed if I didn't already own it was a greatest hits copy of Star Ocean: Till the End of Time.
Saturdays seem less competitive in my area this year and I've even seen some Saturday sales that seem about dead shortly after 8 this year even when it was nice out not just today late in the Yardsaling season. I would think that I'd have a much better chance of missing something like this GBA with games cheap if it was at a Friday sale. A good chunk of the yardsalers around here must go out Friday only with the way gas prices are.
I passed on some PS2 games at a sale that I heard the lady say were a buck each to somebody else. They had about 10 games but nothing I'd ever really get around to playing and had little to no interest in so I didn't grab any even if a buck is about as cheap as PS2 games get.
I went to 9 sales and 3 out of the 9 of them had steering wheel controllers which is definately one of the biggest video game drecks that people having a yardsale put out that sits around and don't sell. Reminded me of an episode of Married with Children I was watching yesterday were Al said that people only sell junk at yardsales
Stopped at a flea market today and picked up a few games. I got these PS1 games:
Puzznic
Spin Jam
Chessmaster 3-D
Vigilante 8:Second Offense
All were complete for $1 each. At another booth, I passed up some XBox and PS2 sports games that they had for less than $1 each. I went to another flea market where an older guy had 3 Genesis games for a total of 25 cents. The games were Barkley, Shut up and Jam 1 + 2, and Jammit. I passed these by because I couldn't justify spending a quarter on them.

It was supposed to be a joke about the state making them dance. It was early in the morning when I was reading the DDR post. Sorry, I forgot you guys have no sense of humor in the Finds thread.
Anyway, I picked up the Atari Jaguar lot today from the guy on Craigslist who wanted $45 that I had posted in my query post earlier. I was able to get him down to $40 for it thanks to a suggestion from fellow DP member 1 2 P.
Jaguar system (loose) with 2 controllers and cords
Alien vs. Predator (complete)
Cybermorph (loose)
Flashback (complete)
NBA Jam (complete)
Raiden (complete)
The system is a bit dusty and will require some cleaning before I try it out, but the games, boxes and instructions were pristine.
Yard sales were garbage today, so I went back to my storage unit to continue to empty it out. It's not a find really since I already own this stuff, but I did locate a box that had a bunch of my sealed domestic and Japanese DS and GBA games in it. I'd forgotten that I bought the Japanese versions of Metal Saga, Xenosaga I & II and Yu Yu Hakusho for DS last spring...time to find an online FAQ to translate.
Currently catching up on PSN, WiiWare, Wii U E-Shop and Xbox Live Arcade exclusives I missed.

Nothing killer, but good solid finds, then got 3 target clearance games for $14.98 Bourne ps3, Grid Xbox360 x 2. Traded in at Gamestop and got $78 store credit. So easy flip for extra $30 store credit. Goes well with the 20% off used games coupon I intend to use for some good ps3/360 games
this is my first decent score in years. got all of this on craigslist for 30 bucks..it had been sitting on there for almost a week. i more then likely could have got it for less, but hey it was worth it.
My finds today:
Golden Sun with map and manual (GBA)
Zelda Four Swords (GBA)
Super Mario Wold 2 with map and manual (GBA)
Mega Man Legends w/ no manual (PSX)
Korn - Untitled (CD)
Date Movie Unrated (DVD)
Halo 2 strategy guide
Some guy donated the guide, XBOX Live paperwork, and an XBOX 360 video cable, but no 360. I was so sad

I picked up Samba for Wii today. The controls do seem out, but I hear they get better. Oh well. I will figure it out.
Is that the PS1 that's worth a huge amount of money because it has AV outs?
they're not worth much more then a normal ps1. maybe 5-10 bucks more.
