62 pounds of games and systems for 30.00

Finally something good (I hope) at a garage sale.  I talked my husband into going out today and the first sale we stopped at the guy had a few games and systems but the prices were pretty high for me, he wanted 5.00 for the games and 10.00 and up for his systems.  I said I would think about it since he really didn't have many games that interested me...he told me there was another sale up the road so we went there and looked around.  The woman had a bunch of Play Station games so I asked if she had any older games...she was just setting up so everything wasn't out yet...she said yes and pulled a big plastic tub out from under a table and said "make me an offer"  I opened it up and it was full to the brim with systems, controllers, wires and games...a combination of NES, SNES and Sega Genesis, I said how about 30.00 and she said yes.  I told my husband I was happy and ready to head back home, we stopped back at the first sale on the way back and I grabbed Toobin cart only for 3.00 and a mini SNES system with one controller and no plug (no big deal) for 5.00.  On the way back we stopped at one more sale, they didn't have any games but I bought myself two pretty necklaces for .25 each...hey I have to get myself something once in awhile tooimageright!!!  When we got home we weighed the tub and it weight 62 pounds...I will post the contents later when Limbofunk has a chance to check it out.  Hope he thinks I did good.  I don't know much about the Sega games and there are quite a few in the tub, but I was happy with this find since it is the first thing I have found at a garage sale in a very long time.image

  • holy hell! post some pics of whatever was in that 60 pound tub! hell of a deal!
  • You made me jealous with your 100 pounds of cardboard so I had to go find something on my own. I will have to have Limbofunk post the picture, I'm lucky I can figure out how to post. Some of us old people are not that computer savvy.
  • Are you comfortable referring to your son as his UserID? image



    Sounds like a great deal. I'd by any NES stuff for $0.50 per lb.
  • Dang, you got those necklaces for a Steal!!! image


    Cant wait to see some pics though, sounds like an awesome haul!

    I figure it's easier that way, he has gone by Limbofunk for a few years now on line so it doesn't bother me, plus I figure more of you know him by that than Otto...

    you paid $0.50 a pound... i paid about $35 a pound... you win! image
  • yeah she got a tub also. btw nice find
  • Nice find. At garage sales I will always ask if they have any games if I don't see any that are put out. Sometimes the people having the sale will say yes and go back in the house and get them.
  • okay, not a list of titles but a list of the contents of the tub. 18 nes games, 11 snes, 38 genesis, 13 master system and 2 play station for a total of 82 games...the majority of the sega games are in cases but there are not really any instructions to talk about...all of the nintendo games are cart only except for super sprint which has instructions and a sleeve...1 play station, 1 nes, 1 snes, 1 sega model 1 and 1 sega model 2 for a total of 5 systems...4 snes, 6 nes, 3 play station, 1 master system, 5 sega and 1 sega/snes combo controller for a total of 20 controllers and 2 books, sega game genie and nes secrets...pictures will be added soon, at least as soon as Limbofunk gets moving...
  • That's a pretty decent find. I'm still waiting for my big find to boast about. I love hearing these success stories!
  • Alright, we had a chance to go through them...pretty nice stuff!

    Here's a pic of the tub w/ the mini SNES and Toobin on top...kind of dirty!

    Here's the mass after I took off the lid...my dad had already looked through it a bit before I got there.

    My daughter Olivia took it upon herself to swipe games as I was taking them out to have a look.  A cute looking game for a cute kid.

    And here's the overall score all stacked up...I'm not complaining!

    I always thought you were one of his buddies and the username was a joke. Aside from my mom, you have to be the greatest mom ever. Nice score.
