Pretty awesome Garage Sale and Goodwill find
Today, there was a town-wide garage sale near where I live and decided to check it out being that I was off of work. The very first stop I make, I scored a nice looking Super Nintendo with 2 controllers and all the cables plus 3 games (Super Mario All-Stars+Super Mario World, Donkey Kong Country 2, Super Return of the Jedi) for 10 dollars.
20 houses later with no luck, I finally came upon a $2 Tommy Hilfiger edition Gameboy Color. The Mummy cart also came with it.
After not finding anything else, I went to Goodwill because it was 50% off everything, and got Banjo-Tooie, Cruis'n World, and Pilotwings 64 for 75 cents each.
Not a bad find for everything, especially since I'd been wanting to replace my shitty SNES.
Other than the video game finds, I did pick up an awesome Twilight Zone statue of a gremlin for 3 dollars. Later found out the figure is pretty expensive.
One thing that irked me about one garage sale was this guy was trying to sell a bunch of new generation games for quite a bit of money. Under each price, there was a note saying that Gamestop sells this game for so much money. Looking at the games, the guy selling them asked if I found any games I wanted. Politely I tell him that I'm not very interested in newer games, being that I collect old games. His response was..."Why the fuck would you want those games? The graphics suck." I then just shook my head, and walked off.

very good. Do you have pics?
Here you go, I had issues earlier with the picture attachment earlier. It wasn't letting me upload or do anything. They're in the original post.
