I got a rock! Free!
Seriously, there haven't been garage sales with anything usefull around here in ages.

[Darth Fett]

I've been going to garage sales all summer and here's what I scored:
Playstation(big grey one)
Saga Fronteir
Jurassic Park Trespasser
Street Fighter(Pc)
And tens of thousands of Pokemon cards.I'd be happy to make a list of all the cards if anyone wants to listen.

[Triton]

check out my pimpin cellular phones they are from left to right: microtac dpc 550, microtac 650E, microtac lite xl


i would totally use one of them as my cellphone unfortunatly to the best of my knowledge there are not really any carriers that still activate analog cellphones.

[Super Cameraman]

Put a new cell phone in that case. I think Cingular still does it, but they charge like 5 bucks extra.

Since I live in a poor, unsophisticated Upstate NY town, I count Salvation Army as a bit of a "garage sale". As my signature says, I got a Sinclair ZX81 computer kit, sans a few resistors, for $5, and subsequently ruined it with the AMAZING POWER of a 25-watt soldering iron. I also got a "non-functioning" ZOOM external voicemodem, which I opened to discover that it's ROM DIP was half-way out of it's socket. Pushing it back in fixed it, so I got a good external modem for $5.

I got a hipgear GC screenpad BRANDNEW at futureshop for $10. I consider that somehwta of a deal :p.

[Rototiller]

I went biking around the neighborhood for yardsales two days ago and found a sega genesis with 4 games for 6 bucks. Hooray. I also saw an agent zero-M blaster for $180. Incase you don't know they cost $3,000 on ebay because they can blow out windows and occasionally injure people. Too bad I couldn't get it.

[Sword_Gun]

I'll race you to a Complete US Release Collection (772 games I think?)

[gamer2]

YOUR ON! how many games do you have

[wallydawg]

Currently 47 (8 of which are CIB). I think the most I've paid for one game so far is $5 (Super C), not including Super Mario 3, which was bought new at Toys 'R Us way back when.

[gamer2]

I must Say i have many doubles.

I have 3 Zelda 1s (1 gold and 2 greys)
2 Zelda ][s (1 gold and 1 grey)
2 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ][ the arcade game
2 Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt carts
2 T&C Surf Designs

lol

[wallydawg]

I should say the Gold and Grey versions of both Zeldas count because they were released twice; once regulary (gold cart) and again under a "million seller/greatest hits" packaging with different box and manual (and of course the grey cart).

[gamer2]

Well what about those Wisdom Tree, color dreams carts that werent Nintendo official.
