I'm the luckiest kid alive! (Sorta)

Post by CronoTriggerfan »

Sadly, my friend announced she was moving today. She told us she was having this huge garage sale getting rid of crap, and asked me and my friends if there was anything we wanted her to look out for. I jokingly said, "Hey, if 'ya see any video game stuff, hold it for me!" She really didn't seem like the gaming type, but she said she'd try. So then I get a call tonight, and she says she's found a huge box full of video game stuff and no one knows where it came from. So I asked how much, and she said FOR FREE. Get this; I go over there to pick it up, and here's what was in it:

SNES
SNES controllers
SNES cords
Sega Genesis V1
Sega Genesis V2
Sonic The Hedgehog (only Gene game, but a good one at least!)
All the Sega cords
3 Sega controllers
A Game Gear
7 or 8 Game Gear games
About 40 Atari 2600 Games (don't ask what yet, I'm still counting them!)
NES
NES Advantage
NES Quickshot Joystick
Some Odyssey controllers/games
Random peripherals for systems I haven't looked up

Not bad, 'eh? Now I gotta go play me some Sonic!

CTFan :D

EDIT: She also had a couple C64's for $1 each, but sadly they were waiting for pickup from some lucky collector who happened to stop by :cry: . I may have to go up with my wallet, because they're selling all kinds of cool PC hardware for $1. They REALLY want to get rid of crap!

Nice package. Seems you'll be having a good balance of feelings.

Ya, it's bittersweet. As for selling, the only thing I'll be getting rid of is the VCS games, because I really have no use for them. I may sell one of the Sega Genesises (Geneses :? ?) as well, since I got 2 in the package.
