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.

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.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.

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.

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

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

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.
