Last weekend's finds

Last weekend, Phil and I set out on our search for treasures. Craigslist only had a few garage sales of interest so I was going to concentrate on listing the stuff I got in previous weeks. This summer has just started and already I found 2 Playstation 2 game consoles and dozens of games. I was waiting for some of the games to come back from the resurfacer when I decided to go out and just hit a few sales.

I couldn't find any games when I decided to hit one more sale. The ad promised all kinds of retro game systems and games. Phil and I set out but when we arrived there it was apparent that this guy was a dealer and the prices were just too high. Phil found a Nintendo 64 game "Zelda: Ocarina of Time". I asked the guy how much and he said $40. We were about to walk away when he said he'd take $20. Phil has been saving his lawn cutting money and decided to buy the game.

I had been checking Craigslist all day when I saw an ad that said they had Nintendo 64 games. It was just down the road so me and Phil hopped in the car and headed there. A young woman was selling an NES system as well as a Nintendo 64 systems plus games. I couldn't believe what I saw:

The same game that Phil just bought! I asked the girl how much and she said $2.00. I gladly paid her and went home. I looked the game up when I got home and found out it's worth $50.00! I was so excited I looked up more sales but all I could find was one around the corner from me. The lady having the sale was raising money for the 3-day breast cancer walk.

I found some Nick Cave cds I had been looking for and asked her what she wanted for them. She told me a dollar a disc. I also found 2 box sets from obscure artists:

Both sets are fairly hard to find so I think I will be able to sell them for a tidy profit. The winter was long but this summer is already shaping up to be profitable. And to think I was about to give up!
