We need to go to bi-weekly just to fit all of his stuff in...

That's what she said.  (that's right, I went there). Lol

Now we'll have to go weekly to include the comedy stylings of Hungrymoose

Hit up an estate sale round the corner. They had BAD prices on alot of stuff ($35 for an N64 with no leads or controllers), but they slipped up on a few things. It was the typical "Mario is worth $15!" kinda thing. I managed to make out pretty well.

Came out at $30 for everything. The manuals & maps turned up in a totally different room from the carts, so it was worth digging around a little!

Not bad at all.  Nice work!

Sweet! Always nice when the estate sales come through.

Thanks. It's a real shame because they had some decent commons for N64, NES and SNES but all too pricey. I tried to haggle and explain to them that the prices are set a little too high, but they had a "professional" price them up for them. Sure honey, if someone gives you $15 for Mario Bros/Duck Hunt let me know. I may swing by on Sunday to make them on offer on the dregs, but I'm not overly excited about it.

Yeah, it's a shame when people get bad pricing advice.  Makes them not want to sell for less than what they've been told their crap is worth.  Best you can do is show them completed sales of the games you want as proof, but if the games are pretty common, it may not be worth the effort.

The thing is, when something is woefully under-priced, I'll actually give them a few dollars on top of the asking price. I don't mind telling someone with a stack of $3 games that *this one* is worth a little more and give them five or six bux. It feels like a much more wholesome transaction. Sadly, it's more often the other way around these days,.

I often do the same.

^ That, sir, is @#@#$% awesome.

[wildbil52]

I didn't know Stack Up was a pack in with ROB in Japan.  Nice!

Oh, and my puny pick up for the day? Pokemon Fire Red for $5.

[Shadow Kisuragi]

My puny pick-up for the day? Company-sponsored dolls for a Facebook game.
...yeah, Facebook merchandise.

It's technically hardware. Can I submit it to the DB?
