Haven't priced it specifically, but that Chuck Wagon cart should get you over $25 by itself.

I'll give you three fitty for it

$116 evidently (price charting)

Okay, well over, then. I just remember that title as being fairly rare when I was looking into Atari games. It's not Air Raid rare, but…

I'll give you $1 to put the copy of ET thru a woodchipper

@tarzanpat


1500? Games? That's a lot of games and a lot of space.

How big was the 🍕? Did you get lucky and the person behind the counter gave you a large slice, or did you choose a large slice?

@SupremeSarna

I see what you mean about the Lego sets having a lot of features. That Visorak one especially, looks like it has a lot going on.

yeah, in jewel case though. Had to get a new shelf just for them pretty much lol. Slice was cut in 2 and each slice was decent. little low on pepperoni, lil thick on crust. cheese was awesome, overall it was decent. usually the best big slices are close to the ocean, though we had a chain called big slice here before. Not sure. $4.50 and it was breakfast, lunch, and pushed dinner back. I eat less in the warmer seasons lol.

Not that many boxed games. Trying to give ppl good deals, and got a repeat interested, and someone new today. Gave lotsa games there free as $5, maybe someone would buy but I need the money, and yesterday, was a bit lower, prob would have asked more for it today, but was in a giving mood yesterday lol

but I guess I'm one of the good guys. usually cater more to collectors, but only because there aren't that many gamers around here. Or they're into the new, or on retro console.

Resellers try, but I try to get a little fairer and do give real good prices usually. Ppl would pay more separate, and the shipping. But still feel like I'm fair and do it good.

actually what am I talking about. I take the lowest price, and round down. of ebay and take into account the toll of it. And usually there are higher prices. But some things, I mean $5 games, I can def get $5 for it per selling one by one, but that's usually because shipping is high cuz it's a bulky game. Either way, making some good deals for ppl today, as I get great deals in too, but put my time in finding them. Sometimes scrolling late at night cuz I'm bored, but not recently. gotta set parameters, but lots of different search titles. Sometimes it's what and how you search that makes you find something.

Be mindful of the replacement screen you get. Some of the replacement 1000 series screens aren't actually OLED.

Just make sure to replace it with an actual OLED

$3. :D

- Blood (with Plasma Pak and Cryptic Passage) - 10$ got this, but I think it's disc only. $16 shipped. I remember selling complete jewels for about $105 shipped. Thinking the cd only can fetch $55 or $60 total shipped? Unsure.

I said I'd send money next morning, he said, he'll include this: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/194237104259?hash=item2d39... free with the jewel and ship. I see it sold for $15 CAD shipped from australia, so maybe the price on there now is a little inflated. if I didn't see the sold, I'd prob post at $40.

I realize I give lots of games at around $5, but as I'm checking some older games for local sales, I'm seeing the prices rose. Far Cry 1 small box, had 3, sold 1 in a bundle for $5 give or take, trying to get $10 for another one, if not, throw them up on ebay lol. The world keeps on pumping, you just gotta get into the rhythm and keep on, for some reason or another, I'm feeling like I need to take it easy - energize, feel what I want than get back into another round of putting yourself in the rotation. Sometimes the orbit or whole show just ain't that interesting, working on something, but it all seems like air unless it pays haha no idea

oh yeah, I missed out on Marathon 1 in box, would have been shipped, for $99, I offered $80 but didn't really lowball the others, and would have taken 4 more games. No cigar, don't check that often, and there are others quick on things too. Than again no price for it anywhere, see Marathon 2 in that weird shape boxed sell for $270. See marathon 2 and marathon infinity sold for way more, jewels only, and that's the 3rd installment. Mighta been a quick sale at prob a list of $400...either way, no point in dwelling thinking what would have been lol

Got a text from the thrift store with a couple NES games. When I got there I guess they only sent me a teaser. Got everything here for $160.

image

Did a little more thrifting. Got the Warhammer boxes for $1 each. Only a few (recent) figures were inside, but for a buck why not. Other thrift store I went to was half off, so I got everything else for $130. Top two items are sealed.

Sick NES lot there.

No garage sales this week due to Memorial Day. Next weekend is a massive one. Won't even be able to go to all the towns doing them so I have to pick and choose.

There were a few sales this weekend, but I didn't think to check until this morning. Likely going to sit these out.

Next week I have a flea market to go to. Last year was sort of a bust, but I'm willing to try again this year.

Some guy brought a box of kids DVDs and he said "five for a dollar". So I got five. He said he got tons of relatively new releases in storage and he'd bring them down next week, so we'll see. It's apparently all Walmart discards / clearance stuff.

I got the two latest Spider-Man movies (probably for reselling or trading), a Barbie set with some random discs that I wanted to look at, and two other discs for a lot of kids movies I'm setting up. He had Everything Everywhere, but on DVD, so I didn't bother with it. Hopefully he brings the Bluray version next week.

He also had the complete Bones and Dukes of Hazzard sets for five bucks each, sealed, but the discs sounded loose so I didn't bother (also they were so bulky they would've been noticed by customs on the way back...)

Apple iPhone 12 Pro 5G 512GB Gold (Verizon) MGM23LL/A on ios 15.4 for $50

Blacklisted, so basically an iPod touch now, bought from a pawnshop and every employee had tried to get their sim to work with it but failed. I plan use it as a backup wifi only phone since the iCloud is clean, and since it’s ios is low I’ll be experimenting with jailbreaking it

working on 2 smaller deals. Nothing has been panning out, but I haven't been in rhythm

you know when your head is on, and you're thinking too much, but the ambiance gets the best of you, and you somehow feel this place lost the appeal. well not quite that, but life has been giving me a hassle. but i came to a realization, nothing is permanent in life, that's the wisdom of so much death talk, and everything temporal for the long haul.

I don't quite mean ppl, and I don't mean making money to sustain the balance of living life. There's a grand ol fable that says the wind gushed and came, and the person just held onto their jacket tighter. As the sun came and just smiled, the person took the jacket off. The wind and the sun put a bet on who could do it, and it's just a jacket, don't get your panties in a bunch cuz you feeling giddish. Brutishness only headbutts other brutishness, but when the veil of this thin layer objective of life is lifted, it's just the curtains we got as your senses were pastelling the world with thought trying to get more life in. But we prob won't be dinosaurs in extinction, but ride our fiery suns like chariots out of this nursery rhyming norse morse. Not coding anything, just saying this world isn't take all, but you do and do, not to dodo out, but because with all the small things, you stencil out the concept for the bigger things. But when it comes to putting the bigger things into equation, you kinda seem blank, or riddle of. I don't want more bs. But I don't know what I'm searching for. Time to finetune this engine, and get to summer and feel and be a little more alright, with everything getting better, but just like every high, you always level off. Grounded on earth, 3rd rock from the sun, the level that keeps mediocrity searching for higher meaning and lower indifferent purpose. But is there really a seasaw of life, or is it the masquerade just like the book: the giver, are the hospitals playing tricks with us, or like the mazerunner, are we from the program, and others live different, or like mockingjay where everything run on is just a stimulation of the same old mind control propaganda thinking the tick developing in the blink from hearing something over and over is getting into our heads. I don't think it's all propaganda, nor do I think we're special individually. I think it's all for one and one for all, but the ppl that seem to give their opinion don't seem to really put it as such, or is the power of dominion the blanket cushion for god and another scapegoat to hail or villianize through the tenets of this short time. Duress on, live on, and try to do some good. But in the real world as it shifts, it seems we can only really work on ourselves.

To better deals! lol

I’m over at my cousin’s right now, and I’ve been keeping an eye out for a cobalt blue 3DS I lent him years ago. No sign of it, sadly, but I did find the instruction manual for Golden Sun: Dark Dawn that he let me keep. I bought the cartridge from him last year, so he doesn’t mind if I take any other items related to it. Here’s hoping I can find the game’s box, or better yet, my 3DS.

My best find all year:
[imgt w=640 h=853]https://i.imgur.io/k4UbQR4_d.webp?maxwidth=640&sha...[/imgt]

The prodigal son returns! This is my cobalt blue 3DS, which I bought in high school. Back in 2019, I lent it to my cousin in Wisconsin so he could play Pokémon Omega Ruby. After he got home from playing it on vacation, he went quiet about it and later said he had no idea where it went. I’ve been kicking myself for lending it so carelessly across state lines. Given some strife in the family that has mostly passed, I thought it was impossible to get it back.

But I’m at his house right now on vacation, as mentioned above. We returned from the Dells and while he was upstairs, I randomly chose to look in his assorted Switch bin. I recognized an old DS case I gave him ages ago, and felt a rectangular shape inside it. Sure enough, the 3DS was sitting inside it with Omega Ruby nestled snugly in the card slot. It looks like it’s been untouched for four years. It still has a charge and knows the correct date, but its buttons leave much to be desired.

I will never lend another special-edition console across state lines for the rest of my life, especially not one with sentimental value.

Love a happy ending

https://www.ebay.ca/itm/265544129270?hash=item3dd3...

with shipping to Canada set at $23...and free US shipping. For all you americans, this is a solid deal. You will make some money lol. But whatever. $7.35 or so CAD for one cd only, has 2.

I got mine, and it's got back insert. But see in sold listings, it sold for cheaper recently. Oh well, sharing the deal above, I'll have some competition before my version finally sells, unless someone else puts it up for less lol but it'll be a while before I list, not that long, tomorrow is my last free day, than onto trying to get into the swing of living and routine better lol

PS: the one that sold for $40 CAD has the same front, spill some, but isn't the one blood whole unit as that's a single disc compilation, and the 2 disc version is the single game. either way, might be a score

@SupremeSarna Cobalt blue 3DS? Is that the Fire Emblem one?

I've had this box on my shelf for years without the system sitting alongside it, but now they're reunited!

Well today I am already +$105 and have a fat PS3 (working) and 2 copies of wii sports to sell still.

Going to hit up some different towns tomorrow.

Found a sealed Frozen II Bluray for two bucks. They had a bunch of other discs I wanted, but they were either dirty, moldy, scratched to hell or loose in sealed cases.

Just finished my Saturday morning yard sales. Got a first gen Fire Stick for a buck, some random DVD for a buck, and some late 90's Miller Genuine Draft aluminum signs for $35. This was probably the score of the day:

Fifty cents each. Everything but the Evil Dead on top is brand new and sealed.

Anyone know a good way to ship VHS?

Awesome VHS score. Miss the rental days. :(

$1 Call Of Duty Black Ops Collection Xbox 360

$1 Tamogachi (2017)

Freeze that sucker and throw it in the lake. It's time to let it go already!

I found a killer deal that I have no need for, sadly. A seller offered me an excellent-condition Wii with all hookups, boxed Wii Fit, boxed Just Dance, and Rock Band drum kit for just $50. It even came in a Wii U console box!

As much as I want to take him up on his offer, I can’t bring myself to haul all that home if no one has a use for it. I certainly don’t, and I don’t have any other friends who would. Does anyone here want all that for a reasonable price? I’ll happily drive back and buy it if so.

Sweet deal. Nice of you to offer it to us here.

got some finds for you, potentially, if they reply to you, or allow you to pick up

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/14240326...
sent a message friday, and they did not reply. free games, sure fallout 1, fallout 2, system shock 2, arcanum, the curse of monkey island, crow, the ultimate doom, other games, all free. I did mention paypal, and they for one reason or another did not reply

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/74883650...
sent her a message, no reply. those spidey games are worth a lot open, they're still sealed and 2. is it the price for all and did mention paypal and shipping to Canada lol, no reply

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/60038882...
wanted to do paypal, asked about condition, said will do, never got back to me. feel I could get this one if I pressured, but I think the shrink is coming off, still $century bone and some meat sold price for open in CAD

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/60610019...
this is one that I saw read the messages, and never got back to me. warpath for ps, command & conquers about $10 CAD a piece prob in profit, more games, $10 for all

no idea. don't want you guys falling for something cuz why didn't I get these deals. Ppl away in the spring, or not wanting to ship is more reasonable, or maybe they're like hmmm, but to Canada, forget you haha. either way, be wary, sometimes I like to keep a short convo with the person to see if they're reasonable, but even I press go sometimes wanting a deal

Spider-Man Web of Shadows (PS3) $1

Osmosis Jones was $2 - I never find snappers like this in good shape so I had to pick it up. The other DVDs were $1.50 total (from a lot of things I bought for reselling.) The Stephen King and Bullet Train sets are sealed. Left Behind was irresistible at 50 cents. For the record, I expect that movie to be extremely awful. Kevin Sorbo's acting sucks, his personality is worse, and I can't imagine his directing is any better.
