Hit a few garage sales while heading to see fit on Sunday day. Wasn't having any luck other then a tool box for the car. So decided to hit a pretty junky flea market which turned up nothing as everyone was leaving at 10:30 am lol. So while leaving seen a huge signfor a garage sale with tools man stuff things I like. So got there and look around and don't see anything I couldn't live without. When out of the corner of my eye I seen 1 lone Nintendo nes game among a bunch of loose boxes and ps1 games. I really thought it was older computer game boxes as every garage sale that has a kid in their 30's have Ton's of old computer stuff. But no it was a under bed storage tote full of mint boxed nes games!!!! I couldn't believe it, my holy grail! So I tried to hide my excitement and asked the guy if they were for sale, he said no so I asked if I could leave my number for when they are. Next thing I know I blurt out "I'll give you $250 for it all".
Now that was unseen just what I could see on the top which was all unknown name games to me. Well he gets up.and we start going through it and the vultures be out. 5 guys looking and kicking for position so I make my move. "I'll do the number I said if your willing"
"Gotta talk to the wife" he says
My heart sank, the words of death so many times for me. So I go tell my wife about it while he talks to his. And crying, shaking I'm so freaking happy. Heck telling this is getting me going. Only the 2nd time I've cried in 12 years with my wife. It was like being 8 years old getting a nes for Christmas.
Lol anyways I go back up and he says yes!!! I about jumped in the air, but wait I only have $60 on me lol. So I put that as a deposit drive 1 hour and 40 minutes home get more monry and head back. Well anyways here's the Money shot fellow geeks and treasure chasers. $900 bucks in video games for $250 bucks! Best score I've ever had. Plus the beginning of summer I scored another huge lot off Craigslist for a insanely low price. What a way to end the summer hunting season.
