Took me about 2 hours to sort through the trailer again and here's what I went home with.
And this STILL wasn't all they had (gimmme a break, I'm on a tight budget). I'm pretty sure I can go back whenever I want and pick up the rest of it, and the lady didn't seem like she was going to hold any more yard sales anytime soon. I haven't had a chance to really sort through it all, but there doesn't seem to be any nintendo stuff that is super rare. Not sure about the other consoles.
Wowzers buddy, I had a garage sale find like this in august which I posted on here and I can understand the emotions that would be running through you at the time, it's as if tunnel vision takes over and nothing else matters, heart racing, sweaty palms and then the question "how much?" and when they say the price to be well below your thought you have to contain until you get in that car and head home. Ride that high baby as it could be your driving force for a long while, great score man simply amazing thats why I love garage sales
I think this yard sale experience has ruined me for life. Never again will I be able to look at a stack of games and pay over $1 each without thinking of this score.
^^^ Just the system. She wanted more than I had for the rest of the Atari games (and there were a few boxes of those). I'm not sure why I picked it up. I'm not a big fan of Atari.
If you go back and get me a photo list of what she has and how much, would you be willing to middle man I would float the money via paypal of course and cover all fee's/shipping.

I totally know what you mean... I had a haul that did the exact same thing. It's taking time (and a well paying job) but I'm getting over it... My collection can still grow without a direct connection to a game store and people throwing games my way.

Yes. Yes it is. I do it to other people on NA all the time.
