Garage Sale Hunting! Tips, Hints and Advice

Nice looking collection I just picked up a x box original with 8 games for $40 figured even though it is not old that price could not be beat

I haven't explored the original xbox market yet, but looks like you can get about $40-$50 for a console and cords with one controller. I have 5-6 to sell but only have controller for 4 of them so far.

I hit a consistent 6 thrift stores near me and 4 auction houses and I cannot touch the game systems you are getting.I might retire an move LOLQUOTE=cowboysrgr8;13243732]holy crap did I pick up a lot of stuff.....to include 2 turbo grafx 16 systems in boxes...going to take pictures this weekend[/QUOTE]

Turbo Graphix 16's bring back memories. I used to play at a friends house for hours.

I took the past two saturdays off before this last weekend. The cold seems to have limited the amount of donations Goodwill is getting so their rotations at the outlets are very light. I still get sellable stuff but just not spending a ton of time there lately. There haven't been any good estate sales either this year. Looking forward to a warm up and hopefully getting out more.

I did pick up a Motorola satellite receiver on saturday that sells for $100-$120 if it works. I also picked up 7 vintage salesman briefcases that seems to sell on ebay for around $40-$50. Hopefully I can move them.

I am. I can't wait to hit garage sales and estate sales. Battling it out with the herds at goodwill outlet is getting tiring.

Yes, definately!

edit : been over a year since I checked out this thread... just looked back at the previous pages... amazing finds guys.. Cowboy I can't believe how much video games stuff you find! lots of rare and valuable stuff too for great prices... it's still cold out here and I don't seem to find much video games (interesting ones at least) in thrift stores.. found Ocarina of time on N64 with booklet but it was kinda pricy ($15) still had to pick it up.. and power stone + Shenmue on Dreamcast ($8 for both) last month.. but that's about it since the Holidays video games wise.. (oh and Mario Kart on GC which I was surprised sells for 30-35.. thought it was going to be in the 15-20 range)..
