So last Friday, my son Phillip and I decided to hit the garage sales early. We usually go on Saturdays but there were a whole lot of sales with potential so we set out. The very first sale we stopped at had opened about a half hour earlier and already the Zelda games that were pictured in the craigslist ad were gone. The second sale we stopped at had just opened. She had many gamecube games and I asked her how much they were. She said 2 dollars unless otherwise marked. So I grabbed this:
This game is extremely hard to find. I also picked up Wind Waker, all in the Zelda series, but that one has already been sold. Along with a few other gamecube games, my son Phil decided he wanted this:
This game is hard to find on the Nintendo 64 platform. It is even harder to find with the box and instructions included. He picked it up for 4 dollars but it is easily worth 30-50 dollars.
Finally, She had a Nintendo 64 still in the box with instructions and all the cords, etc. I asked her how much for it and she said 20 dollars. I scooped it up.
I had no idea the Nintendo 64 was worth over $100 and that the goldeneye car was worth 30-50 dollars. I never haggle with people, especially if I know the value of an item. If I feel it is too much for me to make a profit on, I just decline.
I was already to put the Zelda promotional disc up when Phil made me an offer I couldn't refuse. He traded me 2 Zelda Nintendo 64 games (Majora's mask and Ocarina of Time) and the goldeneye cartridge for the disc. I told him that his games were probably worth more and that he didn't have to give me so much but he insisted. The Zelda N64 cartridges went immediately.
I also picked up the Warriors PS2 game. It is relatively hard to find.
