I got Paper Mario for the Gamecube for Â£10. A kid was trading in a huge pile of games in at the local Gamestation and I saw that on the pile. He'd have probably took a fiver but I didn't have change

I went to a Yard Sale last Saturday. And Picked up a Atari Lynx Carrying Case and the game, Ms. Pac-Man for $4. All I need now is to find a Atari Lynx console for a good price and I'll be all set!

There's only one thing that get me. Them Lynx Carts very strange. Their very thin and yet Very sturdy.

Here's some pics.

Bac, what car boots do you go to, those prices are amazing

My locl car boots charge at least twice as much with haggling. Best price I got was a gamecube for a fiver without a controller, but found a controller for Â£1.10 at a charity shop

I wish we had cool garage sales around here. We used to, but now all the kids moved and crap.
