It's because you guys don't know where to look. Garage/Yard sales are incredible because 98% of the time they don't know what it's worth, and 85% of the time it's underpriced. Plus you can usually haggle.

That's how I got my first Dreamcast this summer. Garage sale in a neighboring town, lady was selling the Dreamcast, VMU, and 10 games for $20. I got her down to $13 and she threw in the blue wicker basket they were in to carry it all.

Man, I had some hauls that day.
Gaming accomplishments:
Nibbler (marathon): 251,169,160 / Nibbler (one life): 5,263,360 (WR)
Donkey Kong: 423,100 [L12-1] (150th place as of 2019-01-15)
Super Smash Bros. (N64): Ranked top 5 in Wisconsin from Q1 2016 to Q2 2017
Shrek SuperSlam: won largest tournament in game's history (Shrekfest 2018)

you just told everybody about the secret of good deals: yardsales! nobody knew about them until you spilled the beans! :wink:

it all is just a matter of luck. i would say 98% of the time yard sales have shit. i stopped going to yard sales because i never find anything.
if you took a shit, please put it back
