I'm beginning to wonder if its time to retire from garage saling. You may have noticed there was no Treasure Hunt Chronicles last week, that's because I found next to nothing, and this week was no different while out saling. That makes it four weeks since I've had a good weekend. But, I did have a couple trades this week that give me something to post about this time. Check it out after the break to see what I bought over the past two weeks.

But first, why don't you take a look at what YOU can buy from me! Check out this link to see what I have on GameGavel right now. There's nothing new this week, as I still have some good stuff to sell before I get into listing new stuff. This week I have a total of 4 PlayStations, 3 Genesis systems, two Atari 2600's and partridge in a pear tree. Oh wait, skip the partridge, I sold that yesterday.

These were the only purchases I made last week, three days of hunting, and only three games worth buying. I got Geometry Wars  (CIB) at a garage sale for $3 and the other two were from the flea market for $5.

I got these in a trade with bickman2k. I traded him a Sega Sports Dreamcast set up for this. I've wanted a Lynx for some time and had never even seen a game for sale before, so I had to get this from him. And the best part was that I knew it worked before I bought it, which is a very rare occurrence for me.

I got these in a trade with ixtaileddemonfox. He bought an Atari set up from me on GameGavel, and since he lives fairly close, came to pick it up. While there, we did some swapping of other things we each had to get rid of. So I got some cash and these items. The SMB3 guide is beat up, but much better than the one I currently have, which is the one I've had since I was a kid and only has one page left.

Crabmaster2000 said on 7/14/11 5:13 PM   Regarding not finding anything lately. Maybe you finally own everything gaming related in your community. It was only a matter of time with the amount of games you've been raking in over the last several years.

NES_Rules said on 7/14/11 5:33 PM   @Crabmaster2000: I'm sure that's a part of it, just about every stack of classic games I see at the flea market are ones I already have. But even at garage sales, I've been seeing very few games at all, and when I do they're overpriced or in terrible condition. And Geometry Wars is on my list of games to try out, I've always heard good things about the series, but I've never had the chance to play them before.
