Garage Sale Bargains: Episode 4

Well, I must attract these things. Another SNES for a mere $5, bringing the total now to 6! There were 10 Garages on sale today and this is all we came away with. The only other things to be seen were a couple of Xbox's, one of them was labeled "New! Never Used $150" and the other had an $80 sticker slapped on it.
I'm still looking forward to when someone has an old Xbox and they just scribble "360" next to it, to see if they get a big sale.

Garage Sale Bargains: Episode 3

Grabbed another bargain just one day later, a PSX for $5. Nice. It also came with a wireless controller setup, which was good because I've had a wireless controller of the same brand kicking around for ages with no main unit. So now I have the main unit and 2 wireless controllers. The wireless setup doesn't work with the PSone due to the rounded front. But if someone (me) wanted to make an in-car Playstation with wireless controllers, a dremel tool might do the trick!

Garage sale bargains: Episode 2

Hey everyone welcome to the second episode of Garage Sale Bargains! Bargains! Bargains!...

Today we will see a brilliant offer of "5 bucks for the lot?", refused and haggled all the way back up to $10!

The items on the table were a bright green, Nintendo Gameboy Colour, 5 games and a PSone.
We see Big Al approach and look around the veranda. Looking around... looking... Yes, he's spotted gaming stuff. Swooping in and Oh my God! He's bumped an old lady to the side! She wasn't even looking at the same things as him. Gathering the items into his arms and promptly making his way to the guy in the corner who looks like he might be in charge. "How much much for this stuff?",
"You tell me". "5 Bucks for the lot?", "I'll take $10 for the lot".

WOW. Another exciting episode of Garage Sale Bargains! Bargains! Bargains!
And whats more, the Gameboy had batteries in it and the PSone had Gran Turismo 2 inside!

Collected =
Gameboy Colour with Pokemon Yellow, Pokemon Blue, Wario Land, Blades Of Steel and World Championship Racing.
PSone with Gran Turismo 2.


Also picked up later was a small analogue clock, which is going to be used in an awesome retro fitting project, coming soon!
