ok, so I went to a community yard sale today. Jesus, man. five hours of walking everywhere and not a single game in sight.
So I find a few little crap things. Guitar Hero DS with the grip and pick and cart in box. $6, haggled down to $3.
Got this 3rd party 360 controller from some mennonite lady selling for someone else for 25 cents.
And a few pieces of free stuff.
And then...I hit the motherload.
PS1 games for 50 cents each. tried em, all worked.
I got complete in box:
Primal rage (long box) (kinda rare)
Intelligent Qube (don't know what it is? look here and hate me: http://www.racketboy.com/retro/sony/ps1/the-rarest-and-most-valuable-playstation-ps1-games)
Irritating stick (common, fun)
Space Invaders (common, fun)
Also got three guncons for two bucks ($1 each, haggled down to $2 to take all 3). (just one picture, they all look the same anyway)
and then.
WHEN IT COULDNT POSSIBLY GET BETTER
The fucking MOTHERLOAD.
I was about to leave. Some chick wanted to get rid of her original XBOX for $20. Said okay, if I could test it. Went in her house, hooked it up, it works, woohoo.
Then she says "do you want the original box?" "sure."
She brings it out along with a fucking TOWER of FPSes including a limited edition halo. I handed her that 20 and fucking RAN.
and then I look at the box.
and then I looked at the XBOX.
and then I looked at the controller.
...
I came.
