Yard Sale finds 07.19.08: Gamecube, Zelda, Beyond Good and Evil

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
