Kinda struck out at Savers today. Didn't really see anything worth buying.
They had a Commodore VIC-20 for $25, with just the AC adapter and RF cable. There was a boxed copy of Star Wars Arcade for 32x for $8, and a Jakks Pacific Atari plug-and-play for $5. There was also this double-sided record player (it had a slot in the front you put the record into), but it said it "needs work" and I couldn't see a needle on the top cartridge. (I'm 100% certain it was a record player and not a Selectavision player because it had a 33/45 speed select switch.)
Maybe they were more picked-over than usual because they just opened?

Re: GARAGESALES 2008-20XX!
I found a G4 iMac at a garage sale for the great price of FREE.
Edit: Tried it today, and it works fine! It even appears to have been somewhat upgraded from stock.

@Metallica Man X
Yeah, the RAM was bumped from 256 MB to 768 MB. Also, the disk drive may have been swapped for a DVD-ROM, but I'm not sure yet. Still need to find a keyboard.
@Triton
Nice find with SimCity 3000! Love that game still.

Re: GARAGESALES 2008-20XX!
What i got today:
Earthworm Jim with case and manual (genesis): $3
Disney's Aladdin with case and manual (genesis): $3
Super Mario World (cart only): $1
I also got a Data cable set for older Motorola phones such as the first rokr. It was only a $1. I figured I could use it to test out a rokr I have kicking around here.
And I got a episode of Teenage Mutant Turtles on vhs for free

Re: GARAGESALES 2008-20XX!
Picked up a Master System with 2 controller, 1 gun, and "Hang On + Safari Hunt" and "Double Dragon". Got it for $10
Re: GARAGESALES 2008-20XX!
Most (all?) master systems have a game built into the system too. Just start it without a game in the cart slot to find out what it is (and post it here cause I'm curious lol).HotDog-Cart wrote:Picked up a Master System with 2 controller, 1 gun, and "Hang On + Safari Hunt" and "Double Dragon".

Hang On is my favorite game for SMS. Outrun is god too but the draw-in is so bad it makes me feel sick after playing for a few minutes
