July 2009 Finds

[BetaWolf47]

i cant seem to remember if pokemon colleseum bonus disc had a manual, i am about 80% sure it did, i had one a few months back.

What the other guy said. Pretty sure it was just a little insert.

[Kuros]

Chrono Trigger, Super Mario Kart and Pac Attack - $20
Eternal Champions - $2
Bloody Wolf - Trade with a user on GTZ

Not pictured: NES RF Adapter - $.50

This is the first time I've seen Chrono Trigger outside of Craigslist or Ebay.

[mobiusclimber]

What the other guy said. Pretty sure it was just a little insert.

It was an ad for a Pokemon movie, if I remember correctly, and not technically anything like a manual. It was also one page (front & back).

[darkslime]

Thanks for the help.
Not sure if I'm gonna flip it or keep it for my collection. :/

[darkslime]

Also, garagesaleking, I was wondering if you keep all the CDs you sell or flip them?
if you sell them, are there any ones worth a lot of money I should look out for? I usually just buy CDs I like.

[garagesaleking!!]

cds are my niche, i cant tell you what i do with them, occasionally ill rip a few to my external hd, but i am mostly buying them for resale. Its really hard to make money on them however, you have to check discs and cases, and make sure all the artwork is there, and people usually are asking too much for them, you have to really get them cheap.

I stopped by the flea market today before I have to go to work and today was a good day.

First vendor I saw was selling a bunch of different electronics and games. He had a lot of crap nes/n64 games and ps1 sports. I saw Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee and Banjo Kazooie. He wanted $8, I offered $6 and it was accepted.

-Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee (Complete)
-Banjo Kazooie (Cart)
-$6 for both

Second venodr I saw had clothes, toys, etc. I saw a box of genesis games. Looked inside and saw a bunch of sports titles. Did manage to find Decap Attack boxed. Price was $3, I accepted.

-Decap Attack (Boxed)
-$3

Third vendor I saw had a box of NES titles and I looked through it. Nothing too spectacular. I picked up Tiny Toons Adventures and Whomp Em for $3. For some reason I thought Whomp Em was worth more but I was wrong

-Tiny Toons (Cart Only)
-Whomp Em (Cart Only)
-$3 for both

The last vendor I went to had my greatest find in the wild. EVER. I saw a bunch of NES/SNES/GEN/N64 Games in a glass case. All Mario, Sonic, Donkey Kong, Kirby, etc marked at $20-$30 each. I was about to walk away when I saw a few other carts to the side. I found Final Fantasy III (aka VI) and.... OGRE BATTLE: THE MARCH OF THE BLACK QUEEN!!! I asked how much. She said 2 for $15. I gladly paid and walked away with a smile on my face.

-Final Fantasy III
-Ogre Battle: The march of the Black Queen
-Both for $15

Just when I thought my day couldn't be better, as I was leaving I walked by a trash can and did a double take. I went back and saw a Genesis game on top. It was Sonic 2. I thought cool, free game (even though it's common and I have it). Then I saw more a little further down. PGA European Tour, Mortal Kombat II, Dungeons & Dragons, and Streets of Rage 2. There was also 2 controllers in there. A SN Propad for the SNES and a SN Propad 2 for the Genesis. All of this was in the trash.

WHY WOULD THEY TRASH THESE?!??!?!

-Sonic 2 (cart)
-PGA European Tour (cart)
-Mortal Kombat II (cart)
-Streets of rage 2 (cart)
-Dungeons & Dragons (cart)
-SN Propad for SNES
-SN propad 2 for GEN
-FREE

Thanks for reading!

What a weekend for me, I just got back from my one yardsale of the year, the annual Carnival of Sales in New York. I woke up at 7, left the house at 8, and called it a day at noon. Four hours of non stop walking, thank God I had a Camel Bak. I scoured around until 10, finding nothing, thinking this year would suck. Passed on $65 Dreamcasts with no cords, the $15 games to along with it, $25 N64s, and $20 PSP games. I saw a $10 N64 and a $15 LG White Chocolate in great shape and with all cords and box, but passed. Went back near the end of the day to get it and it was gone. I passed on a mint Game Gear with games and a carrying bag for $15. I still have the crappy one I bought last year that I can't move. Then around 10am and constantly until noon I struck gold.


We Love Katamari - $5 FOR SALE/TRADE
Harvest Moon - $2
Parasite Eve guide - $.25 FOR SALE/TRADE
Endless Ocean (Canadian) - $5 FOR SALE/TRADE

Then as I am walking by around 11am I pass a guy starting to empty a box of Gamecube/PS2/Xbox games in his truck. They were $6 a pop, I got them for $5 each. All complete.

Eternal Darkness FOR SALE/TRADE
Metroid Prime FOR SALE/TRADE
Metroid Prime with bonus disc
Resident Evil 3
Resident Evil Zero FOR SALE/TRADE
Super Smash Bros Melee FOR SALE/TRADE

He threw in the 20GB Hard Drive for free, said it didn't work. We will see about that.

Came across this guy early on, didn't really want it but decided if it was still there at the end of the day I would take it:


Hyper Scan X-Men edition complete with extra controller, and Ben 10 and Intergalactic Wrestling cards - $5 FOR SALE/TRADE

More finds:

Star Wars Trilogy Widescreen brand new - $15, talked down from $20. I am so happy I found this, as some of you know I sold the full screen version recently in my forum auction hoping I would one day find the WS, and sure enough I did!
Fear Dot Com - $1
Young Guns sealed - $1
Slipknot biography CD - $1
Donovan McNabb watch brand new - $5 at Salvation Army a few days earlier FOR SALE/TRADE

Then at the end of the day I drove around with some family at some other yard sales and found these:

Battle Arena Toshinden Not For Resale - $3 FOR SALE/TRADE
Final Fantasy Anthology missing one of the game discs, water damaged manual - $1 LOOKING FOR NEW MANUAL AND FF VI DISC
Spinal Tap sealed - $2 FOR SALE/TRADE

All in all a very good weekend. I spent ~$80 last year which was a new high, only spent ~$60 this year and was the first time in a few years I didn't get a console, although the Hyper Scan kind of counts. Unpictured is a Vince Carter Nets Swingman jersey I got at Champs for $23, it was 70% off since he has been traded. I also got a Kerry Kittles Nets jersey and an Antonio McDyess Knicks jersey that I got for $6 each at a consignment store.

Just to let New Yorkers know - you guys are some broke mother fuckers. 8% sales tax!? An additional 4% clothing tax!? I found some HD-DVDs at Burlington Coat Factory I was going to buy, but figured I would wait until I got back to VA to buy them since I would pay less tax. $7 is a tad high, but for new HD-DVDs I do not really mind.

[garagesaleking!!]

my county in pa has 7% sales tax, i hate it.

Also picked up out of this world for snes at the same store for 5 bucks. Passed on a few things but I literally had no money and was only going to spend it on stuff I really wanted or needed.
