It's been a while I know. I'm not sure why, but garage sales have been really slow so far this year. Luckily, I finally have enough stuff from the past few weeks to make a worthwhile post.





This is my last week of school for the semester, so I'll be able to go to some more garage sales on Fridays instead of just Saturday, so with a bit of luck, I'll be a little more successful in the coming months. But first, I need there to be more garage sales. I've only been to about 32 this year, usually by this time of year I'm going to that many in a week. It's rather annoying driving around all day to only go to a dozen sales, if gas keeps going up, I won't be able to afford that much longer.

That is a sweet table.

Nice grabs too.
I was looking online for Slim PS2 fixes a couple months ago. Apparently the most common problem is the AC adaptor needing the solder to be reheated because it cracks.
 
nice NES grabs! You really can't say no to a free PS2 can ya? despite working order
 
30 yard sales in the past year I've been to, and the only thing I've found is racing wheels with half of the parts missing.

I did hit a yard sale a couple weeks ago that had games, but another collector was there before he opened and cleaned him out of all Atari and NES games Sad Apparently, the guy owned 700 unique Atari cartridges.
 
I never have luck at rummage/garage sales, I think in the last 3-5 years I have hit maybe a handful worth while and we go usually every weekend.
 
Nice table, looks much better than what you had before!
 
Glad to help out - let me know if you want to incorporate the top Collection Stats Summary into the Table (bold at the top  - different, but complimentary,  color scheme).

I love the King's Quest series - it was one of my favorites during my early PC years.  How is the NES version?  I wasn't even aware that it came out for it.

Great finds!
 
nice finds, Im with marriot_guy I grew up playing the Kings quest series ( on a Tandy and later a Packard Bell) but never knew they had a console version!
 
Nice NES finds and a free slim is always good.
 
Excellent finds on both King's Quest and Bucky O'Hare. I'm still looking for both of those titles.

Welcome to my blog. I started off my blogging career in 2008 with my weekly Treasure Hunt Chronicles which was a huge success. So it's become a staple of RF Generation during the garage sale and flea market season. So be sure to check back each Monday to check out my newest treasures.
