Garage sale finds?


ReGen

Recommended Posts

I'm sure most people here, if not all, have been to a garage sale. What baffles me is how nobody has made a topic about this before!

 

So what have you come across at a garage sale? See or buy anything cool? Been to one recently? Tell us about it!

 

As for me, a month or two ago, there was one down the street from my house, so I went there to see if they had anything. Besides a basketball, I managed to get a crate of Xbox and PS2 games, a complete PS2 console and an Xbox controller. All for six bucks! mlp-tbob.png

 

Don't you just love it when people don't know the worth of what they're selling? L9WqHHQ.png

I once found a haunted copy of Majora's Mask...

 

Oh wait, that was a creepypasta...

 

But seriously, I can't recall ever finding something at a garage sale that I'd consider valuable.

I once bought a Virtual Boy with 4 games(Baseball, Mario Clash, Teleroboxer, and Panic Bomber) all for $1.

 

Unfortunately my mom donated it to good will, I'm pretty sure it'll be more valuable due to it's infamy

I found a designer purse at an estate sale. It was in perfect condition and was NOT a knockoff, which was what I was expecting. Got it for five bucks.

I've never actually bought anything from a garage/yard sale before. The coolest thing I saw at one was a crate full of old comics ($100 for the whole thing). It would be so awesome if I found some old records at one some day :3

Forgot to post them, but I bought these a while back and for me they were an awesome find

We've gotten an Xbox 360 controller with the cord to connect it to the Xbox for $5. Sometimes my husband and I will get to a garage sale right as it is closing and anything left is free! I've picked up a box full of scrap fabric, a small box covered in seashells, a pretty decorative mini urn, and a few other goodies this way.

I got a good score a few months back when I saw someone selling a few DVRs. I ripped out the hard drives in them and got about 1.5tb of storage from it. :muffins:

My best fine was a WALLE educational computer. I only played the games in it a few times because I mainly treated that WALLE like a collectible statue.

I've come across some nice vintage Star Wars toys. It's always exciting to make a find, but harder to afford them these day because everyone has a price guide and they charge the maximum every time. 'Tis sad. But I still enjoy the hunt!

I've never really been to a lot of garage sales, but when they had the tag sales at church I'd pick up some games or things like that, got some antique bicycle horns once.

I have not been to a garage sale since I was a kid with my grandparents. I had gotten this green Britney Spears bear with a yellow hat. The woman was nice to me and asked me if I liked Britney Spears and I nodded. I take it home. My mother is like I hate Britney Spears and got rid of it. I was so upset lol. But now I'm an adult. So not only can I hop on Ebay and buy the one like the one I had, I can buy the other two if I wanted them lol. Since they're going for very cheap. Which I may or may not do.

But that was my garage sale story lol. Now I have been to some Flea Markets though.
