back in April or May I found $600 worth of videogame stuff at a yardsale for $20... so yeah. You should go to them.

Man if you ever lurk CheapAssGamer you just find post after post of folks finding cheap copies of that game in the wild.

It's a really easy way to make a bit of extra cash. It's not particularly rare but scores a pretty high value online.

Most Mario Kart Games work the same way, plenty of them out there, but demand a fairly high price (for a game that is two or three generations old)

Got Megaman X, Kirby Superstar, Turtles 4, SMW & All Stars Combo, Super Mario Kart, & Zelda for $16 total at the local pawn. I actually already had these, but I'll pass a few to a friend and keep some around for trading.

15$ at a yard sale. Alien vs predator (snes) Super Scope, with SS 6 game. (n64) Madden 2000, NFL Blitz, ready to rumble boxing. (Nes) Contra, Mega Man, MM 2, Predator, Castlevania 3, Mario/duck hunt, Gauntlet, Turtles 2 arcade, Ninja Gaiden 2, Double Dragon 2. (GB/GBA) Kirbys dream land, Double Dragon, F-Zero maximum velocity, Super Mario World (advance 2) I also got a multi tap for the snes, Four Score, a gun of course. Only downside is the NES needs a new 72 pin, but for 15$ I'm not going to complain at all.

I have never found anything of value at a yard sale, ever. I've always looked diligently, too.

Also, this happened about a year ago, but I found the manual for Xenosaga 2 in a Wendy's parking lot. Strangely enough, when I eventually bought the game, it came with the wrong manual. It's funny how things work out like that.
