My wife and I went to garage sales in a very wealthy neighborhood, where I found treasure! In the back of a garage I spotted a steering wheel and pedals for an N64, behind it was a very large box that said "games $1.00" in side the boxes I found 54 N64 games, 50 of them are in their box, all the carts are mint, games like Paper Mario, both Zelda's, Mario Party 1 & 2, Banjo -Kazooie & -Tooie, Kirby 64 just to name a few, at the bottom of the box is a N64 console w/5 controllers, wires, 3 game sharks, etc. At this point I was pretty f*#king excited. Then I took my eyes off of the treasure long enough to spot a smaller box about a foot away that was closed and had a sticker that read "games $ .50". So I open it up to find 24 NES games, all in mint condition in dust covers, games like Mega Man 6, Kid Icarus, Zelda, & Dr. Mario, at the bottom of the box is an NES w/ controllers and wires. So after I convinced my wife that I may die if I didn't get all of it, I got the lady to sell me everything for $60.00!
and all of that was just two weeks after I got a Gamecube w/ four controllers, the game boy player that goes under it, Nickelodeon party blast, Tak and the power of juju, Magical Mirror-mickey mouse, wreckless, spoungebob, beyblade force, and ZELDA COLLECTORS EDITION even if all the games are disc only I think it was a great find. All of it for $60. and they work flawlessly!

Welcome to the forums!  

Those are some very nice finds!!  It's unfortunate that garage sales are nonexistant around Europe (as far as I know at least)...

Here are a few crappy pics of what i got, I will take better pics when I get a new camera and put them with my profile. Only 24 of my NES games came from that one place.

Thanks for the pics, I'm really jealous. If I were you, I would start a N64 collection if you already didn't have one.

Indeed! This is one situation where pictures are worth more than words. Good find!

I hope it's not a case of her having a son that went away for whatever reason and stored the games for the time being...Can you imagine coming back and finding out all that went for $60.....I'd almost strangle my mom...lol
