Got Fallout in the mail today. Looks good, but due to the long weekend, actually took 6 regular mail days, usually shows up in 5 lol.

Been doing it a while, and usually, people are pretty good, but it's summer, no risking it if I ain't a-working lol. Now I'll have some money, the extra $430. July and August, here we come. Might get into trying harder at the comp, but recently, been off of it. Got 2 need for speed underground 2's in jewels to list, transformers the war of cybertron, meh. Let life take me on a drift, so maybe I catch a better drift. Universally coding in...and out, I guess? Nah lol

was going to buy some more weed from the store the next day, and someone replied to my inquiry. I wasn't going to post every deal here, but the second part is why I'm posting. Got an age of empires in box pc game for $15, was close just had to go around differently, all one the lone 3.30 fare in a 2 hour window. Little bit etched/slightly crushed in on front where the top left corner is, and disc does have some scratches. But I figured I might get $50 - $60 out of it, minus the $15, now I realize the last number is a stretch with all the loose box and manual boxes of this game saying no cd. The game must not be worth that much, but apart from those 2 things, it's nice.

So what do you think I should do. Said June 29th, he'll be shipping it today, and reply with the info after 5pm. I was available at 7something pm. I think people that don't reply a lot, are a way to avoid. But there have been some that did just that that proved worthy. It just seems too long, not to get a reply back. It's July 7th. Should I put in a resolution centre thing, I think they might be waiting 21 days to release, but why say something, than just disappear. He disappeared before, than said, was out of town. But I mean, I said I'll wait til Monday/Tuesday, than I want my money back. The thing is, if he replies with, I was going to wait the 21 days, than send, but why not say something, at that point, I have to be like, I just want my money back. And how it's all been, I think it's not going to happen. That was the deal with strife and diablo I shown you. I dunno, but I used to have more faith in it all, now it seems to be testing me, or grounding me to my own water shores lol

Just got back from a weekend of yard sales in New York. First couple of finds:

image
These Displate pieces are brand new and were $15 each.

image
Got these in a thrift store. Paid about $10 for the lot. Never found CD-i games in the wild.

The rest of my stuff is in my mom's car and will get it this weekend when she comes down.

Nice finds.

Magnetic posters are pretty cool. Also unique in the sense that you can pretty easily swap posters on your wall. No need to knock in nails or use tape/etc.

No video games at yard sales this weekend and I won't post a picture because it's a little NSFW but I did find something rather interesting: rare smut! There was a yard sale nearby with a decent-sized free piles so I grabbed a nacho dish, salsa pot, some chili pepper string light and, most importantly, a softcore movie called "Sumo Vixens" because that's a legit funny premise for a movie to me. Turns out it's out of print and pretty pricey because of that, so I'm passing it along to a friend who collects weird cinema. I watched it the other night and it's basically a live-action 90's anime but with topless scenes and it is VERY campy. One of the funniest things about it is the voice cast - it has a lot of mid 90's/00's anime voiceover artists doing the English dub, with the main villain and secondary female lead being voiced by the folks who voiced Jet and Faye from Cowboy Bebop, respectively.

I made a $10 offer on this PEZ Hander, and the seller bit. $20.somechange altogether, the cheapest on eBay. Jar Jar’s tongue hands you PEZ candies when you press the button!

(Photo from Google Images, not the exact one I bought.)

I’m a Prequel fan, and this obscure scene is so strange to see turned into a full product. It’s bounced around the back of my mind for years and years, and I was feeling frisky last night. Besides, I have nieces who love candy and will find this fun when they come over!

I'm happy that you got something you like, but also disturbed that such a cursed item exists.

Whatever you do, don't search, "Jar Jar tongue candy."

Picked up this bad boy for $30 at the thrift:

Dang it, I've seen those before but had completely memory-holed it. Excellent job on reviving it, sir.

$100 PS5 w/Broken HDMI port: roach infested

Didn't know about the roaches until I smelled them as I drove a couple of miles, bought this to practice soldering, Had to buy a bug bomb from the closest hardware store, luckily I already had box to tape everything up in when I set the bomb off.

So yesterday I went to the flea market that sets up near my home. About a third of the regular booths didn't set up, probably because it was hot as hell at 9 AM - most people were already leaving by 10:30. So I figured, "I'm not gonna find anything today."

And then I got to the lady that brings stuff from Northern California - source of most of my movie purchases - and found she brought down EIGHT bins full of movies. It turned out that four of them were stuff that I'd already seen over the past month, but four were new. And boy did I hate her.

image

One of the bins was full of library copies of various Blurays, but it was nothing I was interested in. A lot of other things were water damaged, missing art, or the discs. So I just dug around and found the above. Paid about $12 for them (and something I put aside for selling.) Mr. Bill and that Michael Jordan set supposedly have games in them so I'm keeping them for my project.

And Nine Lives... I've been trying to get a copy of that movie for a year. It's in good shape but I don't know if it has the digital code (not like it matters, I don't use them.) The HD DVDs are as always, a gamble, the 300 disc didn't look weird so I dunno. Maybe it'll work?

Unique item @SupremeSarna

Is it battery operated, or purely mechanical?

Local store here was running a sale this weekend. Walked out with all this (for way less than sticker of course).

Might be interested in Trinity Universe if you're willing to part with it.

Sent you a pm but in general most of this stuff is available as I already have most of it. I had a buyer for Fragile Dreams in advance so that is sold. I'm keeping PN03, Luigi's Mansion and this copy of Double Dash specifically. I will be selling my old copy of Double Dash which is the version without the bonus disc.

Mom came back down from NY today so we spent the day thrifting. Here's what I found:

image
Blu-Rays were $2-$3 each, Judy is sealed. PS1 games were $3 each - unfortunately the disc is gone from Crash.

image
Crash was $18 and is in really nice condition. Other games were about $3 a pop. Just Dance 2018 has the 2015 disc inside.

I went berry picking with my family on vacation, and there was a garage sale happening immediately to the right of the patch. It was all old clothes and furniture (a knit hat of Grumpy Cat was the highlight), so I didn’t buy anything, but it’s still cool I found a garage sale in a convenient spot while on vacation. That’s probably the first time that’s happened for me.

Went to a community yard sale in upstate New York last weekend. Haven't been to it in six or so years, and wasn't really expecting to find anything. Actually had some great finds:

image
Very first sale of the day had video games for $1 each. A guy ahead of me grabbed Final Fight and another SNES game, but I guess he didn't feel like flipping through the disc only games. These were $1 each, Resident Evil was from a different seller for $2.

image
Seasons 1-5 of Bones for $5. Seasons 2-5 are sealed.

image
Mario Kart was $10. Star Wars and Project Runway were $.50 each, the others $2.

image
Always see Youtubers picking up vintage snapback hats so I figured I would give it a shot. Hats were $1 each. Other items I got at the very last sale of the day for $20. I guess they were still there at 2pm because people thought they were just crappy licensed games for $10?

... okay, how old is that Kid Rock CD? I thought it was one of those licensed songs for kids albums at first.

Edit: Holy cheeseballs, it's from 1990?!

It is one of his first albums I believe. I find them from time to time. They usually go for $10-$15 so I pick them up when I can.

We need more details on the berry picking :)

What kind(s) of berries?

Are you allowed to eat them as you pick them?

It's actually his first solo album. Sorry, the art just caught me off guard.

I was in serious need of that Wii Sports Resort disc a few weeks ago. Not anymore.

Yes, we could eat them as we went—the owners didn’t care. They were all blueberry bushes, though I’d have preferred raspberries or blackberries. The bushes were pretty barren, but we had some fun with it and got a pound or so. My nieces had a lot of fun, and it was nice talking with the other pickers.

My last finds from the NY trip. Went to a flea market out in the country, so unfortunately my phone had no service. Still think I did alright:

image
Games were 3/$5, movie was actually $1 from a local Goodwill.

image
Games here were $3 a piece. I knew some wrestling games are worth money so with no phone service I just bought them all.

I had more thrift finds than yard sale finds this past weekend, but still grabbed some decent stuff for a decent price! I came home with everything in the pic below for $40.

image

4 Heroes of Light is available, if anyone is interested.

Wow. Nice! Where do you find these things? Don't think I've seen even 1 yard sale this summer.

Miss!

Box of Gamecube & Xbox games all going for $2 each at a popup flea market

Slept a little too late and just missed it, will never know what the titles were

EclipseLion wrote:

If they were displayed like that probably a box of old sports titles

That's exactly what I was thinking. In fact, that front 360 game looks like the NBA 2K game with Jordan on the cover - 12 I think.

I hope so guys :/

The last time I missed a deal to another guy, he posted them for sale (for full market value) the next day. It was those 3 switch games (marvel ultimate alliance 3, tmnt shredders revenge, and hyrule warriors calamity) for dirt cheap. So I I’ll be looking out for an odd GameCube and Xbox listing

Y'all ever get what feels like a bait & switch on fb marketplace? This guy makes an ad for a $50 Apple Watch 6 with no charger. I tell him I'll take it barring any issues (like iCloud locked), and they say they can't accept the listed price since they woke up to several offers, they can meet me right away but i'd have to pay over $100 now

Feels like that darth vader meme about altering the deal

EclipseLion wrote:
Pray he doesn't alter it any further.

Sounds like a stolen/bricked device to me.

Or a fake one. There's lots of counterfeit watches that barely function out there. I'd steer clear of it.

I was all scheduled to meet someone the next day to pay his asking price for two cameras. Location agreed, time set, phone numbers and car descriptions exchanged.

Morning of he messages me to say "Sold it to someone offering more"

I agreed to his asking price.

I hate that stuff.

I spent Saturday morning hitting up a large community yard sale near me. I found a lot of kitschy stuff but no games, though I'm hoping to get a call back about some later. I won't bore you with pics of that stuff, but here's what I found right around the corner from my house when I was just out and about in my neighborhood - Pokemon Ruby, Golden Sun, and Super Mario Strikers. Total spent on the games was $41.

My PEZ hander arrived! I cleaned it out and bought a boatload of PEZ, then gave it a test run. Someone pick a flavor: cherry, strawberry, lemon, grape, orange, or raspberry.
