    Some of this was from yesterday, but I didn't feel like splitting it up, so it is all going in August.


    -Guides: .50 ea (KOTORII, Kingdom Hearts, FFXI, Zelda WW, Silent Hill 3, SH)
    -PS1 games: 1.50 ea (Wipeout longbox all in nice shape, MM8, Oddworld, Bushido Blade) MGS VR was $3 at a different sale
    -Katamari Damacy: 3 at same sale as the guides
    -MTV Music Gen 2 & THPS4: free box at a sale
    -Gen Cadash & Socket, Metroid, SMW: 5 for all. Socket is apparently a real winner
    -Syndicate for 3do: 2.99 at a thrift, nice shape
    -crappy Acclaim wireless NES controllers: $2 and my second set (other set is boxed... not entirely sure why I bought these)
    -Simon: .75
    -Football 2 LED: $1 (1978) at the same sale as the N64 lot below.


    Probably overpaid a little bit for this, but I get a little giddy when I see so many good games in one lot. They were asking 75 and I offered 70 which was accepted. This was right at 8am when they opened, and I got a definite vibe from their pricing, etc, that they wouldn't have taken less. I'm always amazed when people bargain at all at 8am.

    Game list: Conker's CIB, Perfect Dark CIB, MK64, SM64, The New Tetris, SSB, MP2, Zelda Ocarina, Starfox, Hey You Pikachu w/ mic, DK64. Also, memory expansion pak + jumper pak + puller deallie.

    Edit to add a little (boring) tale: The sale with 4 games for $5 was pretty huge. They had advertised on CL that they had "Sega, Nintendo, Super nintendo, xbox, game cube games, etc" and opening at 9am. I got there at 8.30, and they didn't have much out and they said to come back, which I respect since even their signs said 9am. Clearly they had a ton of stuff in the garage area to bring out. Anyway, I hit a few sales and came back at 9. Only xbox and 360 games now, but tons of DVDs and other stuff, though I didn't find anything. I asked about the old games and they said they had to go get them from elsewhere once they were more set up, but they should be there this afternoon. I got naptime off today, so I buzzed down there and now the sale was indeed very big, with lots more stuff out. They had a loose gen2 and loose SNES2 and some games, mostly filthy. They didn't want to sell the systems without knowing if they work, so I picked out a few games. The woman said they had several of each system and will have them out tomorrow. Ugh. It is about 20 min. away, so don't know if I'll make it back to check or not. I probably should have gotten some of the "Indian Tacos" they were selling, cause I'm kinda hungry now. If they'd been making them outside, I probably would have, but I think they were just bringing them out from the kitchen, and I'd rather see what I'm getting.
