June 2009 Finds

[tubeway]

i think calling it one of the best deals ever is a little exaggerated, it was a great deal, but not insanely good.

I'm still underwhelmed by the finds of someone that calls themselves Garagesaleking!!.

Another major major thrift day.

Pac-Man World 20th Anniversary PS1 complete and an N64 brand new boxed Rumble Pack, both $1.48. If this isn't the find of the month and/or year, I don't know what is.

I'm still underwhelmed by the finds of someone that calls themselves Garagesaleking!!.

I find amazing stuff every week its just usually not game related, and when it is game related i rarely post it in the finds form, i go every weekend to sales and find way too much to take pictures of and list.

Selling on ebay is my full time job while i am a college student.

Last week i got 2 pairs of speakers worth 700 a pair and a $500 denon receiver all with the original boxes. All for $75, i just did not post it.

2 Weeks ago i got 2 lcd projectors for 15 a piece, that which i did not post either. And thats just 1 item from many i got both weekends.

I may not be king but close. I have not seen anything much that can beat my find from last year, the ps2 system with 135 games for $150.

[tubeway]

Ah, fair enough, then. Sounds like you do net some pretty good deals.

[garagesaleking!!]

I didn't say it was the best deal ever, just one of the best that I've seen.

Best deal ever is more like that guy who got all those NES prototypes and 2 Grey WWC carts and other promotional Nintendo stuff at a yard sale from that Nintendo Employee.

Im still pissed about the time i would guess about 4 years ago, when i went to a garage sale in a neighborhood with close to million dollar homes and the lady and her husband both worked for nintendo. They were selling all nintendo stuff at the sale, collectibles, systems, games, neon lights, all kinds of stuff. It was basically at give away prices but at the time i was not interested in it and was a child so basically had no money. They literally had a full size tote bin full of gba games for like 2 bucks each, and that was when gba had been the latest gameboy system.

[pseudonym]

Used bookstore, they didn't know what they had. Haha.

[garagesaleking!!]

i did get one thing today i forgot, it was a willie stargell autographed tossel cap(or beanie you would call it today). The lady said she won it in a raffle. He was one of the best pirates of all time.

Well I thought' I'd say a few days ago I had some gift cards for Wal-Mart and I went out and got Rocket Slime Adventures for $14.97 and Geometry Wars: Galaxies (DS version) for $10.00. Not bad, considering I had some credit I needed to spend.

Okay, at my local Goodwill they have a NES Miracle Piano for $24.99, sans the cables to attach it to a NES. Is this a good price to pay for one, or should I pass this up because the cable is scarce and the keyboard won't work with a NES without it?

Also, some really good sales are listed for tomorrow, including 2 church sales, one of which is this giant catholic church which consistantly brings me some good stuff. Tomorrow looks like I'll find a lot of nice things, and hopefully some video game stuff.

And also: I GRADUATE TOMORROW. WOOt!

I have all the plugs with a broken piano, i wish i could find a working one.

I got a pretty good deal tonight. I just got back from picking it up.

Someone on a local board had a Super NES lot for sale for 50 bucks. I offered her 30 and told her I could pick it up tonight and she agreed.



It came with:

a. A Super NES console - it isn't yellowed at all! This is great. My current one looks like the bottom half has been a smoker for 20+ years. Not this one, it's all light grey it also came with 2 controllers, AC adapter and RF adapter.

b. Michael Jordan, Chaos in the Windy City

c. Ren & Stimpy: Firedogs (I didn't realise that this is an R7 until I got home, apparently it was a rental only, mine doesn't look like it was ever a rental)

d. Donkey Kong Country

e. Donkey Kong Country 2 - this is in rough shape. It's a former rental and looks it.

f. Killer Instinct

g. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

All games are cart only. All this for only $30 Cdn ($26 USD). Even though she originally was asking $50, I find if you offer X and follow it with "I can pick it up tonight", they'll usually agree. I'm glad I did pick it up tonight, because she told me she was also emailed by some guy that told her that he buys and sells video games. I'm glad that I got it instead of some dealer.

Well, when I was at Goodwill this old lady was looking at it. She had it and this crappy Concertmate (Radioshack brand) keyboard in her basket. She was going to choose one and she had no idea what I was talking about when I explained that the Miracle piano is for a Nintendo (though it does function without one). I'd expect there's a 50/50 chance that it'll still be at Goodwill tomorrow. This lady was acting bat !*@& crazy so I have no idea whether or not it'll be there tomorrow. Even though it's a bit rare, I can't find myself paying $24.99 for a game accessory that I can't use with a game without a lot of thought. I might still pick it up if it's worth having, I'm just afraid I wouldn't be able to find the cables anywhere.

They are pretty huge, that must have filled her basket lol, i sold mine on ebay for 125 buy it now, after it arrived at the buyers house they said it was broken. I still have the returned package from a year ago and have not opened it back up. But we should try to work something out. If you buy it,ill send you all the cables and then we could sell it and split the money or something lol. Or i would just sell you the cables for some price and then you could sell it.

I finally learned how to post images: PROOF THAT GARAGESALEKING!! IS LEGIT!
