Some GameCube classics and ALL THE PS2 GAMES
1/9
Some nice finds to kick off the new year!
Untitled by geekquisitions, on Flickr
I picked this beautiful lot up off a classified for $30. They may have some more Wii and GameCube stuff for me, so I'm waiting to hear back.
I've also spent the last couple of days doing a bit of driving -- GameStop just moved Playstation 2 games to 75% off, so everything is dirt cheap and its the last chance to get some of that system's treasures. I picked up some RPGs and obscure games, and a bunch of odds and ends to fill up my collection. I spent somewhere in the $500 range (110 of which was trade credit that I had bought from someone at a discount).

My favorite is probably the $10 snes bundle with the Starcraft and Zelda. Clean and a good number. Great picking day for you, man.
I wish every weekend could be like this. I had some stuff in the back seat already, so when I got home my car was practically full!
And yeah, that $10 bundle was a great start to a great day.
BTW, Welcome to the site.

I then drive like mad for 40 minutes to get to the other sale that advertised a massive collection for sale. And my God, what a collection.
If this was the one in Port Jefferson, I was there too! Were you the guy I joked with about Shaq-Fu?
Most of the Nintendo stuff seemed picked-over, but my fiancée found a stash of quality GameCube games (Pikmin, Super Mario Sunshine, etc.) that were mixed in with the DVDs, and there was a lot of Sega and Atari stuff that people didn't seem to be paying much mind (especially the Atari). There was a R7/R8 title out there in plain sight, but because it was a sports game I guess it wasn't on anyone's radar.
Great finds man! Your awesome!

Vegas Dream and Base Wars are for my collection. I have so many fond memories of Vegas Dream as a kid, its how I learned to play BlackJack. Its also how I learned that BlackJack is probably the best table game at a casino, and if a pixelated lady approaches me while I'm on a hot streak, I should duck out before I get robbed. Base Wars is a cartridge I haven't seen before, Tyson is a spare, and the Wii and GC stuff are also available. I had no idea what that Asylum thing is, but research indicates its from a GameCrazy promo; apparently they had a secret club of some kind.

Does this thing hold any value whatsoever?
Picked this up for $40 yesterday:

I got an email from the CL guy I had bought those Wii games from, telling me that he found his old SNES and his games. $40 is great for such a quality mix of games, although the system needs repair. Surprisingly, I didn't have half the games. The grip of collecting has me in its grasp again, because those got cleaned and tested and moved right into my collection. Zelda, Donkey Kong, and Mario Kart are all spares.
I let Mrs. Geek sleep in while I got out the door bright and early. The first sale I drove by was all kinds of creepy -- loads of Star Trek collector's plates, and not a single person around. I didn't see any gaming stuff, or the sale runner to ask, so I was off to the next sale.
I poked around for a bit and didn't see any gaming stuff. When I asked, though, the dude running the sale poked around in a CD bin, and found a disc-only copy of Kingdom Hearts. I picked it up for a dollar, and as I was leaving, a mass of gray cable caught my eye. I saw the lovely Apple-esque white of a Wii underneath. Another fiver later and the day is already off to a nice start.

Wii console, no wiimotes, and Kingdom Hearts: $6
I hit a few more sales, and nothing. No one has any gaming stuff. Boo! I turn down another street, to head to an unlisted sale, and stop at a sale that's just setting up on the same street - a neighbor taking advantage of the signs and traffic. DOUBLE UNLISTED SALE. No real "gaming" stuff, but they are apparently sick of these little guys who are taking over their entire house and let me take them off their hands for a $10 adoption fee. Then I notice Pikachu, and fork over another buck.

Skylanders and Pikachu: $11
25 pieces of Skylanders (including bags and portals) @ $10 = $0.40 each
Running total spent: $17
I found another sale that had some Star Wars figures. I chatted with the sale runners, lamenting how I also had collected them when I was younger and that they're completely worthless now, while the son ran inside to check for games. He accepted $3 for the lot which included a wallet with a bunch of PlayStation Magazine demo discs. The funniest thing ever, though, was this giant meathead guy who showed up and was asking about Darth Maul and Boba Fett stuff, going on about how Maul was his favorite Star Wars character ever. I stifled my giggling until I got back to my car.

PSX sealed games and demo discs: $3
Cost per item for 18 items - $0.17 ea.
Total for the day: $20
In my favorite CraigsList find in a while, I end my yardsaling day picking these up for $140:
Finds 9/6/2013 by geekquisitions, on Flickr
The best part was that Paper Mario, Sonic, and the second, sealed Angry Birds weren't even discussed beforehand, they were just thrown in as the seller had found them. I would have offered more, but because it was CraigsList, I only brought the exact amount with me out of caution. So, sweet find to cap off my Friday!
3DS Lot: $140
Cost per item for 10 items: $14
Total for the day: $160
This was good. But Saturday...oh, Saturday, was so much better.
If anyone is interested in it, let me know, I'd be more than happy to part with it for a modest price because those things are big and I don't have room. It has two hard drives, ones with the regular OS and one with the modded OS. I think its set up to run emulators and homebrew and stuff.

I've never seen a grey Maximum Carnage before. I will be adding that Clayfighter TE to my collection, though.
Just one thing though -- these all have white out or something on the back.
Any tips on how to get this stuff off?
