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.

  • not bad at all!
  • That guy with the current gen games is an a hole!
  • That kinds of reminds me of a yard sale from this morning. A guy had a printed page from eBay of every dang thing he has for sale beside the item. Annoying!
  • Considering that SMW/SMAS cart is worth $20 alone, I'd say you did really friggin well. Also, unless it's an Atari game or a Genesis sports game, nearly any game for 75c is a deal.
  • very good. Do you have pics?
  • Nice find. I really want to pick up the banjo games but I don't want to spend much. 75 cents I could handle.
  • Double post, my bad...Fun fact, your ears never stop growing. Hence the huge ears when your old  hah

    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.
  • nicely done!
  • "Why the fuck would you want those games? The graphics suck." Yup, that dude who is selling all the current-gen shit sounds like an asshat and dumbass for dissing the old school systems. While the SNES may not have the graphics as the crapbox 360 or PS3, at least, I can play those games and not get bored with them for a friggin' hour unlike some very overrated pile of shit called Modern Warfare 2. But all in all, not bad at all for getting those games
