Wow if anything would get someone a hard-on for this hobby to get started (or started back into it) that set of images up there would do it.

I wish I would've kept more of that haul, but was nervous at the time for dropping the kind of cash I did drop, and instantly sold the non-black box big boys to cover it all.  Here's a few more fun pics for your NES-lovin' enjoyment!:












I know someone on here ended up with my, ahem, Chubby - though I was not a member of NA at the time.

I SHOULD HAVE KEPT ALL OF THIS STUFF!!!!  The condition was just plain insane.  Many were razor blade-opened at the top, and all of the games/manuals were stored in hard plastic cases.  It was the stuff of legend.

I was supposed to get a sqoon I think for $5 last weekend but I got pulled away, maybe this sunday. :\

CIB?!

Yeah, I wish, cart only. Then again if it were CIB, the I and B would go up for sale (at least the B) as I don't collect those.

OK, so I may be selling the necklace after all......

Crazy score man.

Awesome pics, after those, I have a chubby.

NO, he has a Chubby!

Nice yard sale finds today:

NES - Ice Hockey & Othello (both factory sealed), Mario 1 & 3, Zelda 1 & 2, Kirby's Adventure, Mega Man 2 & 3, Tetris, Top Gun, Ice Hockey, Marble Madness, TMNT 2, Rad Racer, Jaws, California Games, Castlevania 3, Metroid, Double Dragon, Ho...gan's Alley, Gotcha, and an NES system & manuals for many of the games and even some games that were not present. (The AC adapter was missing so I bet he has more stuff at his house... whoops.)

PSX: Castlevania Symphony of the Night, Metal Gear Solid, Bust-a-Move 4, Resident Evil (long box)

PS2: God of War & Balder's Gate Dark Alliance.

GBA: Super Mario World & Zelda Link to the Past, both CIB

and Animal Crossing for Gamecube and a Leisure Suit Larry game for PC. Selling almost everything except Ice Hockey sealed & GBA Zelda CIB

Factory sealed finds at a yard sale? How does that make sense?

He advertised on craigslist yesterday and I went there first things this morning (it was kinda rough, had a good date that went until 2:00am and got up at 6:30am after waking up each day this week at like 5:30... taking a nap after I log out of this site, lol) and it was a dude that actually has a website and was sort of clearing out extras, etc.  The Ice Hockey isn't perfect, and was $20.  The Othello is a little better, and was only $5.  I got 3 copies of Mario 3 & each gold Zelda & each was cleaned/sleeved/has manual for $5 each.  (To help me sell extra systems that I have.)

Then I go two doors down from his house (I lucked out in the fact that it was a neighborhood yard sale) and got an NES with $17 games for only $20!!  Then, most of the other shit was only like $2 a piece - it was a good day!  The $5 games were the worst deal.  $20 for Ice Hockey sealed is pretty good.  If I wasn't all freaky about black box games and consider it an "extended" black box game, I would've probably passed on it though.  And I figured for Othello, even as a game I don't care for, how do you pass up a sealed game for $5??

He had some sealed Atari games too but I could give a shit less.  $15 for E.T.??  That's landfill shit, haha. 

Great score on the NES lot especially. Congrats

^^ Thanks man!

I scored a ROB with all Gyromite parts (minus one hand, unfortunately) yesterday for $20. Pretty good in my book!

Wow you did well. I really need to find a community garage sale around here, but they seem taboo to the California area I'm in. In Kentucky all the various neighborhoods in the area (pretending like they were legit little towns) would do them usually twice a year and you could score all sorts of crazy stuff as people just bring out more when there's a line of cars and houses going at it to bait more over. Out here gas is like 4.20/gal and I'm not going to go house to house 1-10mi apart from each you can forget it.

Oh, you mean they're taboo because the houses aren't close?

I seriously think that over the last 10 years, 50% of the vintage systems I've sold have gone to California. I'm always pissed cuz shipping is truly more expensive but the phenomenon is pretty fascinating... I've always said, "don't they have yard sales out there??" - now I know!

Not taboo, it's just gas is too expensive to be pissing around for hours between far apart houses on a guess because if I did find something any kind of deal would be gone in gas.

$70 got me:

Boxed Halo Edition Xbox (all paperwork/no foam or Halo, but had an extra controller)

Game Gear Games: Sonic Chaos, Sonic Blast, X-Men Mojo World, Streets of Rage, Sonic Triple Trouble, Bust-A-Move

PSX games: Final Fantasy Tactics (no booklet), Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, Crash Bandicoot: Warped... still reading? Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (black label!) and... Intelligent Qube(!)

antonio needs to take my nes list with him hunting it's been too long since i bought anything from him, LOL

NES seems pretty picked over these days!  Aren't you down to some pretty scarce stuff?!

yeah, ha ha hard or expensive stuff now, or both it'd be better to sell off the rare carts to buy them back CIB but i know my carts are in nicer condition, and would hate to get a downgraded cart to gete box and manuals

Here's a cool deal!!

  I traded this:



For these:



Not too shabby!!  Supposedly one SNES doesn't work but I have one that needs a new shell so I could care less.  House of the Dead is the real gem here.

Anyway, kiddos: keep an eye out for Tyco RC cars from the 80's/90's.  I only paid one dollar for that bitch.     

$250.... ridiculous, I know

im sooo jealous <.<'

Are you wanting to sell the NES????
