just went browsing in the US, and typed Charleston, West Virginia: https://www.facebook... just typed in the tunnels & trolls game, and seems that itself is already worth the deal if close by, as he mentions pick up only, in Lebanon, OH https://www.facebook... this one is 1k, but over 100 boxed games. I see Daggerfall which is $200 CAD prob after fees and sale, see fallout 1 and 2, both them are $500 CAD, in first picture see all those Ultima games, I know those can be money, see wizardry too, planescape torment, others, do your own research, and I'm pretty sure it'll be hard to haggle him down when he's downsized it from 5k, but that might be a ploy. Big buck pc games, sell much faster than the cheap ones, but prob cuz they're in demand every so often. Lots of money, I'd say if he's hard on offer, I dunno, I'd do the math if it was local lol, unsure, in Murphy NC not sure, next time, I'll make a post where I'll share better than average deals, but maybe if it helps someone make some bucks, one might be too big of an investment and there might not be enough quality. sorry for filling this up with a potential hot deal and one not for me, but I'm slowly getting back into it, and hope to score some more better dealsHow's the yard sale/garage sale situation in your area in Canada? Are they a weekly thing in the spring?

Probably good, but lots of people, I told about the trick, to ask for games, and ask for pictures. And sometimes, they have games posted, I ask for pictures, and they go unavailable already. They want money, there's only a few people who won't sell to others interested beforehand and want to do a full sale and not disappoint people, though the good stuff goes early. My uncle used to do yard sales, but not for games. He's no longer around, and I got into it and have a bike and did a driving or biking route and had a pack or duffle bag. That didn't last too long. I am sure some are good, but a trick for all you USer's, try to ask for a pic if they won't sell before sale, at least you know what's up. I might be trying yard sales at some point, but I'd have to go with mom and make it a thing with her prob lol

Better to spend let's say $25 on something, and worst comes to worse you wasted $25, than to not spend it and then find out that you had let an opportunity slip through your fingers.

got this, initially it was $5 a game. and shipping. there's a dozen, but he didn't reply and was kind enough saying he had some problems and it was $70 shipped. Shipping was $21.50 but he did say he would round down.
the real winners are manhunt and prob po'ed along postal 2 share the pain multiplayer edition. the thing and kingpin are worth some too *(keeping kingpin in my collection)*. Got suffering ties that bind as I have a loose box for it, cuz it's missing a cd. Tribes 2 just needed the cd, same thing have box. And again for return to castle wolfenstein, have box, manual prob manual in others but don't remember. The rest I took too lol

finally found a worthy deal in MILFORD, CT
looked around and know warcraft orcs and humans is easy $100 CAD, than I checked manhunter 2, rex nebular, the chaos engine, robinson's requiem though there's only one new at about $200-something CAD, it's gotta be worth it to a gamer or collector that doesn't want a new one, and I didn't even check it out fully. I dunno, unsure if I could resist such a deal if it was more local. This way, would be a first, and shipping would be a bit much. Got paypal, guess I could use that but gotta load it up. No bother, sharing one for the other good guys around. go go lol

Nothing too exciting yesterday. A wii for $5 but no games. Quick game store dump for credit and wow this story seems boring but while it was being tested I started talking with the owner (we knew each other for like 8 years before he opened the store, not exactly a huge vintage gaming community here) and I find out he's going to sell his childhood Turbo Grafx system and grab an Analogue Duo. He slashes prices on stuff to where I can't refuse it really. He puts it on hold and pulls a couple games off their eBay page for me as well as I go back home to grab a V2 Switch and a few cheap games to trade in.
Ended up being $380 ($200 for system plus the everdrive, $100 and $80 for the games), but after store credit just $150 out of pocket.

Haven't counted. Here's the deal I got today. Offered $80. The real winner: transformers war of cybertron. The rest of the games, the half life counter strikes are prob worth something, gore in small box, might put it away for a bit, quake wars enemy territory limited edition. I asked to see the transformers game, had manual, disc a bit scratchy, but still good. When I was close to home, I went back and opened call of duty 4 game of the year edition, and it had a burn for halo retail was the heading. I was like, oh oh. Than I checked the games above, and all were complete. Well counterstrike had jewel and box, did the manual for those have some cd key? I dunno, still a decent deal. Had an oversized pizza slice at a good price. I'm like pizza = cheap dinner. It stuffed me up and I had eaten very light before going lol.
As for how many games, I got a lot of 1500+ new jewel case games, and lots have not sold. I think a lot are multiples, and I for one reason or another, list one at a time lol. No idea, prob a time consuming and not good strategy. I also am thinking of liquidating some of these games and doing multiple item listings and lowball all other listings and see if that works lol. The other games, have a lot. More than I can tell. Unsure. lol
https://www.facebook... that's the deal for $80 I got
and the deal I messaged (fell asleep in the day, got no reply back when I messaged, and sold today by 12 or so. So it must have been picked up today from someone yesterday. https://www.facebook... - I see like 4-5 boxes of tic tac royale, that's a bummer, but would have gone for the possibility of 3 boxes of other new and sealed jewel case games. Free is free, I'm not so lucky. 2 great deals, and the great is for new greats, not me, I'm an old timer in here with this pc game thing haha. 38 and counting! lol

I watched a LEGO sale on eBay, and the seller sent me an offer. I countered with a slightly better price, thinking he would reject it. He bit immediately, so I spent $74 altogether on Visorak Battle Ram and Piraka Outpost. They’re complete in great condition, with boxes and instruction manuals, and even a handful of other random BIONICLE pieces. Adjusted for inflation, each set would be $44 nowadays, so essentially paying $37 for each isn’t egregious.
[imgt w=1600 h=1572]https://i.ebayimg.co...[/imgt]
[imgt w=560 h=380]https://biosector01....[/imgt]
I always liked BIONICLE, but the playsets LEGO released for it between 2005 and 2007 were super appealing to me. They were pretty dense with play features and minifigures. The Visorak Battle Ram, the smallest set of the wave, has all six heroes and eight Visorak spiders—that’s way more generous than they needed to be!
