I had some OK yard sale finds today. Once again, my best find came early in the day — Zelda Collector’s Edition for Gamecube for $3. I found this at around 8:30 (sales start around 8 in this area) at community sale at a car wash. The games belonged to a kid. He had a bin of Gamecube games (mostly kids’ games) marked $5.00 each, but took my $3 offer without hesitation. As I was leaving, he was getting ready to mark the games down from $5 to who knows what, and his mother scolded him, telling him to wait. I thought it was amusing that he was so anxious to sell them after only a half hour.

• Jet black Gamecube, with nice case, 2 controllers, 3 memory cards — $10
• Microsoft Works Suite 2001 — $0.25
• Spryo the Dragon, PS1 — $0.50
• Star Wars: Masters of Teras Kasi PS1 — $0.50
• Beyond Good and Evil, Xbox — Asking $5, offered $3 (one of the better finds of the day)
• Zelda Collector’s Edition, Gamecube — Asking $5, offered $3
• Pokemon Red (cart only) and Blue (complete) — Asking $7 ea (!), offered $2.50 ea

Here’s my haul from this weekend’s yard sales. Not a ton of stuff, but I do like what I picked up.

• 3 Pokemon guides: Yellow/Red/Blue, Gold/Silver, Ruby/Emerald — $1 for all
• Veronica Mars First Season DVD — $1 (Lots of people have recommended this one to me.)
• Metal Gear Solid 2 PS2 — $1
• Boggle — $1 (I recently got a friend hooked on Boggle and he asked me to find him one.)
• J. Crew “Critters” style Hula girl shorts — $2 (I don’t normally buy clothes at yard sales, but these definitely caught my eye. The guy told me he bought them for vacation but forgot to take them, so they’re pretty much unworn.  They’re a 34 whereas I usually wear a 36, but they fit OK. It looks like these retailed for about $50.)
