Yard Sale Scores...
HaRuMaN:
Anyone else go yard-sailing?
The weather here is just now getting nice, many communities around like to coordinate and have a bunch of yard sales all at once.
Some finds from last weekend:
Ceiling fan, new condition, $10
Working Xbox in original box, 15 games, 2 wired controllers, 4 wireless controllers, brand new Logitech steering wheel in box, $40 for all
Box of 30 year old HO trains (two engines included), all in original boxes, $10 for all
The wife got two large boxes of premium scrapbooking paper for $10
(Those of you who have wives that scrapbook know how expensive that paper normally is, like 50 cents a sheet!)

I had to stop myself from going anymore. I buy way to much stuff. However, I manage to still get things from yard sales anyway.
My father goes every weekend. Picked up a nice wood lathe a few weeks ago for me for $50.00. oh ya about games
I might start going again though....haven't gone since I caught the arcade bug. Plus our house is under remodel construction for
the last 4 years. (almost done with the upstairs!) Then free time might come back.
Wow that HO find was a good deal. I would love to get a set.
hypernova:
This past summer I got a PS2 for $20.
Some ---meecrob--- across the street was trying to sell an original Xbox for $80, with some worthless games. Not worth it. Apparently he wasn't aware it was a yard sale, or he was just testing the waters.
HaRuMaN:
The cool thing about the HO trains... they are some of the EXACT ones that I had as a kid. Not to mention that they are worth a lot more than $10. :afro:
The weekend before last, I picked up an N64, 2 games, 2 controllers, all working for $10... now I just need to find some good games for it.
About a year ago, I ran across a working Dig Dug with some minor cab damage for $50, and I passed it up (still kicking myself, though).
protokatie:
@HarumaN: If you find "Space Station SiliconValley" for the N64, grab it even if it is priced somewhat high. Pretty rare from what I have seen and one of the best games on the N64 (I still have my copy, but no N64 anymore :< )
As per yard sales; that season is long over in Maine (too cold) and of course now I need something that would be a rather easy find at one (A police Scanner). I got hooked on http://www.radioreference.com/apps/audio/ and want to contribute as cool little hobby.
