haha. I turned to my wife and said "ok, we're gonna be here a while." I think we were there well over an hour. It was truly amazing. I'm hoping he has another one soon -- he said he had more boxes he hadn't even gone through yet!

Noiseredux: I want to punch you so hard right now.

I did get some brand new Monster Cable 200 Stereo Audio cables at goodwill today for only $2. Definitely worlds better than the crappy freebie cables I'd been using with my DC for the audio out of my VGA box.

if it makes you feel any better, the chance is good I will never have the same yard sale luck again.

I got this stuff at a yard sale for $20 today. Do you guys think it was a good deal? :twisted:
I would certainly think so but it's hard to tell what exactly is in there.

I was just going to edit it as I saw that. Awesome job.

My finds today weren't nearly as good. I got 3 Xbox games complete for $6.
Crimson Skies - original version
Kingdom Under Fire - The Crusaders
The Lord of the Rings: Two Towers

All are in great condition - seems like they weren't played much.

I am humbled by your awesome garage sale find. I went garage sale hunting today, and all I found was 6 old Nintendo Power magazines for 50 cents. Not bad, but nowhere near great.
