Today was one of my best ’saling days of the year to date. The weather was perfect — the day started out at 59° at 8 am and only moved up to around 80° for most of the day. (I’m glad sales start at 8 am around here rather than the 6 am in other regions.) Lots more people were out today than recent weeks, but the finds were still good.

I should add that I saw a pretty large number of games today, but nothing rare or desirable. In fact, one sale had a big stack of PSP games ($15 each, ack!), which is probably the first time I’ve seen PSP games at a yard sale. They were mostly puzzle and poker titles.

I haven’t had any good actual game scores lately. I’m praying to the yard sale dieties for a big RPG trove soon.

• NES, complete and working, with Super Mario/Duck Hunt — $12 (not the cheapest NES ever, but these are remarkably easy to flip)
• Jet black Gamecube, complete and working, with Rampage and Naruto and 2 controllers — $15
• 2 pack new DV tapes — $0.25
• a lovely sake set — asking $5, offered $2 (has around 5 cups, but the seller wrapped them up and I didn’t feel like unwrapping them all)
• single NES controller — asking $1, offered $0.50
• Flexible silicone USB keyboard — asking $2, offered $1
• USB mini CompactFlash reader — $0.50 (The above photo is brought to you courtesy of the new reader. It’s especially nifty since my previous CF reader required a power supply, making it not very good for travel.)

  and the Find of the Day:

• 250gb Western Digital Passport portable USB hard drive, new in blister pack — asking $10, offered $5 (Wow! This came at the perfect time, since my laptop is constantly giving me low storage warnings.)
