6/21/19:

So it is garage sale weekend in my town and I didn’t even realize it. I went for a morning bike ride and came upon a sale that had a table full of DVDs. Naturally I’m intrigued, as I slow down the man is putting out his PS2 games I mean he had stacks and stacks. I’m not well versed in PS2 and didn’t have my phone on me to do any price checking.

First stop I came away with Oni, king of fighters 6, fatal fury volume 1, last air bender, and a yugioh and dragon ball game (both commons).

2nd trip I roll up and they say take it all for $40. I’m like fuck. I didn’t have the cash and budgeting couldn’t afford it...not to mention they seem to have been beaten up a bit. From the daughter it sounds like dad has a collecting itch and hits estate sales often. 

I had had to turn down the offer but the 2nd trio came away with PAC-Man Power Pack with slipcase, Crash Bandicoot Action pack with slip case, Crash of the Titans, Crash Mind over Mutant, Sly Cooper 2, Dark Cloud, and Spyro Hero’s Tale all for $11. Not bad but man I’m pissed I didn’t just go with my gut and take it all.

I collect SNES, and have extras I need to rid myself of. If you have needs, worst thing you can do is ask if I have it, or view my FS thread!

He had a lot of more common titles, he said he is just selling for the cash. Also mentioned he's selling his collection a system at a time and still has NES/N64 to go. We saved phone numbers and he said he'd give ne first pick before posting, that he'd rather his games go to somebody who appreciates them as much as he did. Really an all around genuine and fantastic guy to deal with. He also said his NES stuff blows away the SNES games he has by far (condition wise, he said he has some rare stuff, a lot of uncommon/common)...I'm intrigued to say the least. I missed out on his MMX3, Kirby's Dreamland 3, Turtles In Time, etc. etc. It's too bad because if've been wanting to upgrade my X3 for awhile now. Somehow after being posted for more than 4-5 days he still had these. I was busy trying to find ways to fund buying anything while also paying off my normal bills and car repairs. Truly one of those 'once in a lifetime' finds.

Just judging by what is here it's obvious I didn't pay $5 a game and I'd be lying if I said I did, I won't get into totals. For example he had Zelda priced at $18, MM7 at $103, Turrican 2 at $90, etc. he was more than fair for today's going rate and bundled them up and we named a price by buying in bulk. I couldn't refuse it and some of them are upgrades to my collection as I'm very condition sensitive about my carts.

What price? he doesnt mention what he paid anywhere.

it appears to be a pickup of a lot of great games at below retail as a bulk purchase.

I mean, the rules state to keep one thread on the subject matter. Just obliging by the rules which most never follow
