Lol, my dreamcast and n64 system collection is just as bad, about 15 of each system.

DONT EVER LET ANYONE MAKE YOU BELIEVE NES SYSTEMS ARE RARE/HARD TO FIND!

Just picked up my second arcade cab (and second in the last week ). It's a Atari conversion (to JAMMA) with vertical monitor and 48-in-1 board. Going to decorate it as a Galaga. Pictures to come in the morning.

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.

If you have the Piano, then you can use it without hooking it up to a NES. I got one several years ago, and it worked -without- needing a NES, since it was a standard Miracle Piano (just plug in the AC Adaptor and pound those keys!). Maybe the thing works, but the Midi to NES cable does not.

Why does that RAM pack say 399.00?

That sounds like an insane price, unless Denmark currency is vastly different from the dollar.

Also, Kuros, great finds! Especially that NGPC lot.

Oh, it's different. 399 DKK is roughly 75 USD today. Not the price I paid, mind you, but the price when it was bought in the store

Meh MEh MEH today was baaaaad for video games at garage sales. All I found was a loose Messiah Generation Nex system for $3 and a few other things. I saw a boxed NES and some games for $65 at a sale and some of our competitors bought it. Haha trust me, it was a bad deal, the NES was in bad shape and the games were all commons. Our competition was acting so weird today (see below paragraph). They left the sale in a hurry and the person running the sale gave me the boxes for Shooting Range (NES, R4) and Target Renegade (NES) for free cause they were left behind. They were the only two boxes in the lot. I went to a charity sale and got Microsoft Office 2003: Student & Teacher edition for a whole dime. It's seal is unbroken so maybe I'll be lucky and it'll turn out to be unused. They seem to sell for a lot on eBay.

About our competition: Picture a large woman with an awful skin condition and a scraggly bearded skinny guy and you have 2 people that we "combat" at garage sales. By "combat" I mean these guys are seriously awful people and they happen to buy the same stuff that myself and my dad buys at sales. My dad saw these people STEALING FROM A GARAGE SALE early in the morning. They tend to act crazy when they see us at a garage sale first. Trust me, these people are crazy and ridiculous.

Aside from video games a I found box of 6 or so wireless microphone receivers for $15. Among them was a Shure ULXP4 worth around $200-300 on eBay. Score! I also got some Telex microphone stuff worth a bit and some jewelry. I also found a really old automatic flipping electric toaster worth $30 and a Stangl pottery bird worth I think around $50. Not a bad garage sale day I think, just bad for video game stuff.

[garagesaleking!!]

another crazy day for the king, if i get motivated i might post pics later, first thing of the day was 185 classic rock cds for 125. There is no junk, it was a guys collection from college.

i kept getting cds all day, i think i got about 400 total on the day,

i got 13 dvd complete seasons, desperate housewives, csi, south park, simpsons, sex and the city, i paid 40 total for them.

got a luxman amp and athena speakers,

last sale of the day got about 50 star trek and star wars audiobooks, as well as about about another 25 that were on cd, the others cassette. for 30 total.

also got a turntable for 5

at a church sale got a micosoft 360 steeling wheel and pedals for 3 bucks.

i passed on a sp with 12 games for 40. i really thought about it.

o ya also got an oreck xl air cleaner for 10, they sell for about 299 or 399.

Hit a few sales this morning. There wasn't much at all; mostly stuff I either already owned or was overpriced. I tried to go to one I saw that advertised video game stuff, though apparently they canceled at the last minute; I went there about 5 minutes after they where supposed to open, but they didn't have anything out or any signs signifying there was supposed to be a sale there.

Anyway, here's what I did find (All from garage sales unless stated otherwise):
- Pokémon FireRed (GBA. Loose in very good condition): $25 (From Gamestop, after stacking some discounts)
- Tetris (NES. Loose): $1
- Microsoft Entertainment Pack Sampler (PC. Loose): $.10
- Zelda LCD game watch (Loose): Gift from my brother-in-law
- Some assorted Avatar: The Last Airbender DVDs (Everything up to the first disc of the 2nd season): $5

The LCD watch hasn't been tested yet, but it does look more fateful to traditional Zelda games than the actual Nintendo-made Game & Watch (Which I have a Mini Classics reproduction of).

We had a neighborhood yard sale here this morning. I got out at 7:30 to beat the rush and hit eleven houses. Unfortunately, this neighborhood is swarmed with older couples so I didn't see a thing game-related. What a waste of time and getting up early.

After I got a haircut, I drove past a tent sale set up in a vacant lot around 3 p.m. this afternoon. Immediately, I rounded the corner to check it out. I looked around and saw nothing game-related. When I walked up to the table, there were seven loose Game Boy carts in pristine condition next to the cash box.

They were:
Caesar's Palace
Double Dragon
Final Fantasy Legend
Play Action Football
Radar Mission
Super Mario Land
Tennis

I said, "How much?" The lady behind the counter said, "I don't know. They're for the old Game Boy. Does a quarter each sound fair to you?" I said, "Hmm, well, I guess..."

So, for $1.75, I got the whole lot! Time to fire up the GameCube Game Boy Player!!!

Not a bad day today

Quest for Glory and Fantasy Collection are complete in the box at Goodwill $4 each a little pricey but I figured they were worth it

Pikmin 2 $12 at pawn shop
Turrican TG16 $4.99 at Game Haven
Shenmue complete and mint $1.50
Bushido Blade 2 complete and mint $1.50
found those 2 at consignment shop (lady said she had about a dozen snes games she sold earlier in the week)

I am not much on PC games and couldn't find any completed auctions for the 2 pc games, what are they worth?
