I found a ton of great stuff last garage sale/flea market season and I'm really hoping my luck continues this season. So, I'm going to keep a log on my weekly finds, I'll either update on Sunday afternoons or on Monday, depending on how much stuff I get.
I was going to start this a couple weeks ago, but it's still early in the season to be finding a bunch of stuff each week, so this will include the past 3 weekends of garage sales and flea markets. And if some of this stuff looks familiar, it's because I posted some in the Small Scores Thread.
Sega Nomad with 2 Sega rechargeable battery packs (neither holds a charge) $5

2 Mario's Cement Factory keychains, sealed, $0.25 each.

New stuff from this weekend, sadly it's raining so no flea market today. I was pretty mad yesterday, as I walk up to the first garage sale, I realize I forgot my wallet at home. Luckily I grabbed a wad of $1's before leaving and had my pocket of change, so I had enough to buy stuff I needed. But I had to pass on a nice variable power supply I could have used and other PS1 games I already had for $1 each. My dad was with me so I could have borrowed some cash if I really needed it, but he won't let me forget for a second that I borrowed money from him.
6 CIB PS1 games at a garage sale for $1 each:
Test Drive 4 (GH)
Moto Racer 2
Jet Moto 2
Cyber Tiger
Medal Of Honor
Intelligent Qube (That's one I never thought I'd find)

In non-gaming related finds, I found a variety of wires/cables/adapters. There's a few computer power cords, but what I was interested in the most was several different audio cable connectors and extension cords, definitely stuff I love to find, $1 for the whole box.
So, not much stuff for three weeks, but hopefully it'll get better as the season progresses.

Intelligent Qube for $1?! You lucky son of a bitch!

ditto

This could be a good thread with the weather improving and people attend more flea markets to post the stuff we find.

Neat to see my blog on the front page.
@Tondog:
I was shocked when I saw Intelligent Qube, there was a stack of like 50 PS1 games, the vast majority was sports games, and I was casually flipping through when I saw that one. Even though I'm not a big PS1 fan/collector, I knew I HAD to get that game.

@NES_Rules:
Dude, you know that is one of the most expensive PS1 games, right?
| |
@Tondog:
I knew it was $50+ game, but not one of the most expensive PS1 games. The only other pricey PS1 game I know off the top of my head is FF7. It does look like a fun game though, I would have bought it regardless of rarity/value.

@NES_Rules:
IQ normally goes for like $80 or so. Also, here's a list of some of the most expensive PS1 games...

Sadly, I have passed on nearly all of those PS1 titles at one point or another. Most were because manuals were missing (Tactics Ogre, Ogre Battle, Persona), but some I have no excuse for (Valkyrie Profile, $35, about 6 years ago because I didn't know what it was worth, Persona 2, sealed for $20, because it wasn't valuable at the time, and Tactics Ogre, $55, because I was unemployed and horribly broke). Oh well. Those opportunities will present themselves again if I keep looking!

Today I managed to pick up Iridium Runners (PS2) brand new and sealed for $1 and Strider (fully boxed, complete, original version not re-release) for the Commodore Amiga for $0.01. Good start for me.
