HIt 20 garage sales this morning, only saw a 7800 that BADLY needed to be cleaned. I was 50/50 on it and after I put it down a kid no more than 13 said "cool a 7800" and bought it. I figure it was the right thing - I really didnt need a third.

I bought this for $75 from an old coworker today though:

You gotta be persistent! Drive down main roads and look for signs. When you turn onto a semi-main road, remember it and look for signs all the way down it as you work your way through sales. When you get there, go up to the person running it, say hello, and ask them if they have any games. Even if they don't have any out, sometimes they'll remember they have a few PS2 games laying around or something and they'll sell them to you for cheap. It always pays to ask. Also I hit up over 20 yard sales for my haul, and that's not going to be every weekend. I had a very lucky trip today, but sometimes I'll come back totally emptyhanded.
