First Yard Sale finds of the season. Yard sale hunting has really gotten much worse in the past year or two in my neck of the woods....90% of the time IF I find anything I ony fond crappy games for last gen consoles. (That said, I also passed on a VCS + a half dozen common games for $40 today...)

I snagged these for $16 total:

ugh dood same here. Actually, I've found NOTHING yet this season which is crap.

Nice little haul though. You can play that Road Rash for TR of course.

I've always kept my eyes peeled for a similar Galaga tinycab. I *think* such a thing is a thing?

Yeah, I want the Galaga one. A local consignment place had one a while back but it was like $40, so I passed.

If anyone wants to trade their Galaga one for my Pac-Man one, I might be interested...

Yeah, this seems to be the norm now. I can't remember the last time I went to a flea mkt., yard sale, etc., without seeing multiple people checking shit on their phones. :roll:

Damn smarphones are the ruination of our age.

Now there was a forum member who had one of these that I wanted to buy, maybe he still has it. Anyway your find was great. The Pac Man mini is still awesome!!! You should be proud to have one.

went to Tucson for the day.

had to take care of family business.

There are lots of thrift stores and Pawnshops in Tucson, But being only there for the day I could only go to a few. I wanted to go to gamestops over there too, but I ran out of time and theres the whole 4-5 hours back drive.

What I did manage to get was okay

Pawn shop: Donkey Kong Country Returns Wii CIB (club nintendo voucher worked! :mrgreen: ) $10.00. Blue ray movies Green Lantern and Daybreakers $8.00 for both.

I found a very clean PS2 controler at a goodwill store for $5.00 and some manga as well. Those were a little more expensive but they were clean. I got these for $3.00 each: Peacemaker vols 1 and 2, Dot Hack Legend of The Twilight vol 3, Kurogane vol 1, Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Vol 2 and 3, Angel Diary Vol 1. $21.00 for all of them.

Went to another pawn shop and got this stuff: Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow oXbox CIB, Doom 3 oXbox CIB, Ghost Recon 2 oXbox CIB, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles oXbox CIB, Kill Switch oXbox CIB, Gladius oXbox (no manual), Return To Castle Wolfenstein PS2 CIB, and Nanostray DS CIB. $16.00 for all of it

I wish I had more time to check out more stores. I've gotten good gaming hauls from that city in the past.
