Not Really Garage sale news, but still awesome none-the-less:

Score!! I've joined a site called SwagBucks back in early July. About 2 and a half weeks ago. I redeemed 15 of my SwagBucks I earned for a 1981 Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark trading card.

Well I finally got it in today!

And here is a video of me opening it when I first got it:

Who knows if the Namco Portable will ever become a reality? :P

Nice. I use swagbucks to get the $5 Amazon E-gift cards. Just ordered a mini usb keypad, 4 to 6 pin firewire cable, and a usb sd card reader using the free giftcards.

Also scored a red Game Boy pocket for $8 at goodwill.

I got the RCA equivalent of a Casio EV-550 pocket TV at Goodwill today for $3. It's much better than the $3 pocket TV in my second NESp.

found a nissan hubcap on the street today, and the broken off screen from a kyocera phone. The screen is in good condition... but I really have no use for it.

I went junk shopping with my mom a few days ago. Helluva place, about an hour away from any town of more than 100 people. This guy's got everything, and enough kitchen sinks for a small metropolis. A lot of it's just plain junk, but I did find one hell of a thing: the adapter to go from a Genesis 1 to a 32X. Whooo.

I only saw a couple under $6, shipping included. Last time I checked, when something "goes" for a certain amount on ebay, that means a majority of them go for that price. Not just a couple :roll:

I haven't been the swap meet for weeks due to summer school :( , but it's over now :D . I got this stuff on 8/5/09 at my usual swap meets (I go to two swap meets). Not the greatest deals, but I like what I got. For the most part...

1 - Boxed Atari 810 disk drive and power supply - $6
2 - Sega Dreamcast complete w/ 2 controllers (one cib) and web browser - $10
3 - Nes power supply - $2
4 - Nine Sega Genesis games all complete in box and in wonderful condition - $15
5 - Game gear hard case with 10 games and cleaning cartridge - $10
6 - Super 76 in 1 (for famicom I assume) - $2
7 - I feel like an idiot. I was getting a lot of NES games for $1 each; I had two stacks of 15 games in front of me, but told the guy I had 60 games and agreed with the price of $50. Got home and discovered that I only had 30 games :oops:
8 - 17 Atari 2600 games, 17 colecovision games, and one commodore 64 game (most in nice condition) + 12 cartridge organizer - $10
