Posted under pokemon, yard sale

EDIT: the first time i posted this today, somehow it cut off halfway for some reason....its fixed now

Ok...allow me to preface a bit first.

First off, i've been crazy busy, thus explaining the lack of blog posts...and the conclusion of my SGC will be posted....eventually xD

Now onto the find:

I was at a church craft show/ yard sale on a saturday afternoon. Traditionally, i can pick a few things up each year, since the "yard sale" room is ran by old ladies....people donate their stuff to the church and then the church manages the sale of it as opposed to individual sellers.

This year seemed pretty grim, until i looked under a table at a box marked "playstation", with a few bags next to it. The box indeed contained a ps1 with 2x memory cards, a gameshark and power chord (no av or controller >.>) The bags were of particular interest.... after scooping them all up, I asked the old lady there how much for all of it....

"well, since its all gonna get donated in an hour anyway....how about 10$ for all of it?"

Here's what I grabbed!

all of it works great...no marker, no dirt...hardly any scratches on the systems....and all for 10$

but now for the real question: what to do with pokemon green!?

also: what is the best way to keep games in a cardboard box in good condition?

Pics or it didn't happen. Tongue
 
oh wow....fixed the post...not sure why it cut most of it off....really odd?!
 
Ahhh, much better now--

HOLY FREAKING CRAP LOOK AT ALL THAT STUFF EVEN ALL THAT POKEMON CRAP CANT DETRACT FROM THE EPICNESS OF THIS HAUL OMG WTF LMFAO AND STUFF
 
Regarding the storing of boxed games, I've been utilizing clear plastic protectors that are essentially semi-rigid cases sized for specific boxes.  You can find them on eBay, or there are numerous internet stores, like [url]http://www.videogameboxprotectors.com/products/[/url] 
 
thanks for the super awesome link! Any idea what size i would need? that japaneese game boy box size seems much smaller than the American size.
 
@NeoMagicWarrior:  It's a little hard to tell, but you can always measure it and ask them.
 
Why is all the japaneese stuff blured out?  Or am I going crazy?
 
I had a copy of Pokemon Green somewhere, but I can't find it now.  Great haul, especially for $10!
 
@Tadpole13:  Disregaurd,  I am going crazy.
 
@Tadpole13: actually, my phone camera sucks...they are a little blurry.
 
That's a pretty magnificent find, man.  And from a Church sale, at that.
