This weekend turned out to be a very big letdown in terms of the trophies I found. The weather was absolutely perfect, not too hot, not too cold, sunny but not overly sunny. I knew, however that it wouldn't be a spectacular weekend simply because I could only put in half a day of saling on Saturday as we had to go to my uncle's for a cookout at 11:00. Oh well, I may not have gotten a lot of games, but I got drunk on free beer and had a fun night.

So, here are my treasures.

Playstation Games



Paid $5 for all of them.



Yep, that's all the gaming related swag from this weekend. The flea market had a ton of people, but none of them had anything good. Although I did see a loose Maxi 15, but it was $50, way too much for me.

Non-gaming related finds weren't much better.

Non-Gaming Finds



The Def Leppard CD was $1, the blanks CDs were in a trash can at one sale, so I grabbed them. They are all like new.




On the way to the flea market, we stopped at a single garage sale, everything was drastically marked down, things that were marked $2 were now marked $0.25, and they said everything was half what it was marked. These are the sales I LOVE, people just want to get rid of their extra stuff. There wasn't much there I wanted, except a large box of men's clothes, 99% of them are my close enough to my size, so I paid the $0.50 they wanted for the box. Some of the stuff is like new and nothing is in bad shape. But, once I got home, I realized there was some other things in the box. Like a couple old credit card statements (with these people's credit card and social security numbers and other stuff. Luckily for them, I shredded the stuff and then burned it. Same as I would do if it were mine. There were also a couple "personal" photos of them laugh


And some of you more astute readers, will notice that I changed my format quite a bit. Marriot_Guy really helped me out with it and I think it looks great, but I'd like to get an opinion from my readers of how you guys like the new format, so feel free to comment on that since my finds were so pitiful.

Looks awesome Mike!!! Too bad about not having great finds though... Smiley
 
Not all weeks can be fantastic. And if they were, a fantastic week would soon feel like a "normal" week Wink

I like these boxes around each purchase. It makes it easier to see what you bought and for how much and also helps seperate your additional text from each other. It's good Smiley
 
On my screen it's really hard to red the red on grey.
 
still not old enough to drink.
 
Thanks Logical and Sirgin.
If anyone wants the code for making boxes like that, let me know and I can PM you the code I used.

@jcalder8:
I see what you mean, it makes all the letters look they are running together. How does the maroon look?
 
@NES_Rules:Yup maroon looks great.
 
Looks good, dude. The maroon is much better than the red you had before. I think that stuff gave me a seizure when I tried to read it Smiley
