Holy crap, there's a lot of awesome stuff there. You trading or selling any of it? I see all kinds of stuff there I would like to have Especially the Atari, been wanting to get back into it for a while. I picked up the Atari Lynx Collection 2 on Evercade and I'm ready wanting to revisit stuff like the 2600 and 7800.
So I'm keeping the Game & Watch, Virtual Boy, most of the PC games, the PSP games, and a smattering of the rest of the stuff, but a lot is available for trade if folks are interested. The Atari stuff is definitely available, though I was gonna hang on to Attack of the Mutant Camels just for the name alone. Haven't had the time to update my lists, though, so feel free to PM if there's something you're interested in!

@Gildon_Dancypants Super impressed with that VB and G&W find! This is the first time I've ever heard of someone finding a Game & Watch at a garage sale. So there's hope for @Frank and me yet!

I'd totally trade for Punch-Out, but I've got nothing you want, sadly. Oh well, great find either way!

Turns out all the games are there, from the lot I bought, but axis and allies is a copy inside, and island paradise for sims 3 has no cd. That's the 2nd one I have (the sims island paradise - I knew I had it and was like maybe that one is cd only, nope both only keys lol), and have a shelf of incomplete games. When I get time, I might list out the keys or whatever individually. No idea if even worth my time, but now I got an axis and allies big box and some other boxes, maybe make a lot of them all one day if no one needs the box(es) locally. More to list out, *sigh*. Maybe this is the unwritten code of our life weavings itself into writing in the grand ol machinae ad ballrooms. All we do is idle on concepts and waste time, apart from embarking on feelings and emotional harness go's. Time to code in something new, and have the machine change up something and say, you're saying what's already there lol

In yet another "boy I need someone to help me manage my money" moment, I found a binder with a bunch of blurays so I paid $15 for the lot.

The first photo has a bunch of Disney discs, I figured I can list those on ebay along with a couple of other discs I have around and make back the money I spent. The others, well, most are trade fodder, but I'm gonna be looking for art and cases for a few of them. Fantastic Beasts is a 4K/BD combo, too. I have no interest in that one. I also got three other DVDs but they're not in the best of shape.

I've actually managed to amass a nice little collection of Game & Watches from yard sales over the years! Here's where it stands now:

I found a mint copy of the Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome soundtrack on vinyl. It sill had the ridiculous fold-out poster too.

Also - if you have an Ollie's Discount store in your area and are into graphic novels, they've got a really good selection.
I went into the one that is down in Worcester MA on Sunday and came home with the following for $48

Most impressive! I’m looking for Fire Attack specifically—the black and orange give it a striking aesthetic—but I’ll take anything I can find. You’d think LCD games would be easy to find at garage sales like NES games, but I’ve never been so lucky.

My one and only Game & Watch came from eBay. My Russian bootleg Game & Watch also came from eBay.

Weekend library sale finds from coastal CT. Instant collection of Zappa, Kraftwerk, and more! Some available. Plus a crazy liberty puzzle, should get $90 or so… some of the out of print ones go for thousands!

I almost got a CIB Kirby's Pinball Land for $41.25 total, but someone managed to top me two seconds after my snipe bid. Oh well, losing to a sniper is part of the eBay experience--many of my competitors have learned this the hard way!
Did I mention I got Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions (loose) for $33 a few weeks ago? If not, then yeah, I did that. Saved me $7ish on the eShop.

Nice!!!
I had to give away my three JVC D-Series TV"s and a few 9" CRT's when I moved recently. Even trashed an RCA CRT because I had nothing I could do with it and nobody would take it for free.
I have no space now, but I sure do miss the CRT days :(

I didn't realize Superstar Saga 3DS went up that much, I'm glad I copped a CIB copy from a local store a few months ago for $35.

I'm very against cart only these days, especially with DS/3DS/Switch. I'd gladly pay $2 more. If you are cool with cart only though, there's nothing wrong with that. I realize I'm the problem

I go with what’s cheapest first, then go for extras if they’re worth it. I usually store DS/3DS/Switch carts in cart holders and dump the boxes in a tub out of sight.
And of course, eBay sniping is the most fun way to buy games, so if I can snatch a game out from under someone’s nose AND get it cheaper, that’s usually what I’ll do. Hence why I settled for a loose $33 cart here.

I'll admit those old Club Nintendo 3DS holders are really nifty!

A deal from GameStop:
image

They had the game on clearance ($49.99 still...), but they had a 50% off anything MARKED as clearance sale, so it cost me ~$25 plus tax. Didn't expect a SEALED copy to boot, lol.
I know it's nothing much, but game shops in my area still have this game marked at the $50 price point...plus: Rare GameStop deal, lol.
