Thanks for the advice.

Do you always just go early on Saturdays? Or have you ever found Sundays to be worthwhile as well?

Do you visit rural areas or suburbs? Or a mixture? Or have some other method of route planning?

i look in the local paper the thursday for saturday sales, i look for multi family sales, and anything that says "games, toys, dvds, electronics" in the description. I have never been on a sunday, so i am not real sure about finds on sunday. I use mapquest to map out a route from my house (rural and suburbs) i usually try to hit them early as possible (but if it specifies no "early birds", don't show up early, they get so pissed). Try to hit at least 10 or more, and always always always haggle, a hint also is to walk up with a smile and be extremely nice to the main person and don't for get to say "Good Morning :D " Being nice gets you very far in this game. But please don't get discouraged if you don't find anything the first couple of times. Take plenty of 1's and 5's and a check book for bundle purchases.

I need to start checking out garage sales, pawn shops, etc. I work on weekends though. So I don't know how I'd go about doing that. That Sega CD is a great find
