Woohoo! I love church sales
« on: Friday, May 04, 2007, 11:17:22 AM »
Problem is I cant always go. Our car broke down like 2 years ago and we havent gotten it fixed yet. The running vehicle is dads that he uses for work, so we can never just take it and go somewhere. My mom still goes to sales because she rides with our neighbor in her car...which leaves me out of it. For 2 years. FUCK! I used to find all the awesome game stuff at those things.

Anyway, my mom came home this morning after being at a few sales and she said "Oh I just remembered, there was some game thing at the church sale. Sega? Would you be interested?"

Initial response is "A Sega what?".

"A Sega."

"Sega Saturn, Sega Genesis, Sega Dreamcast....what color was it?"

"Silver-ish. And it had a bunch of games with it. $7."

That obviously excludes the Genesis, so I'd totally be down for a DC or especially a Saturn for $7, even if just for the games. So I throw on some clothes and go check it out.

Turns out its not a Sega, its a Sony. An original model Playstation. Cool, and now the games! Few have cases, the rest are just thrown in the bag. They dont seem too badly scratched, though they need to be cleaned.

Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3
WWF War Zone
Area 51
Police Quest SWAT (PC...huh?)
There is a case for Resident Evil 2, but no discs.
There ARE discs for Resident Evil 3, but not all of them.

And now the good stuff.

Metal Gear Solid. Awesome, I sold my copy a long time ago like an idiot. No case or manual, but I can't be too picky.
Final Fantasy 8. Neato. Case and manual.
Get ready....Final Fantasy 7! That impossible to find bastard. Theres no case, but the discs and manual are here.

Plus of course the system itself, cables, and 2 controllers. No memory cards unfortunately.

Not bad for $7.

What a steal. I'm jealous. FF7 alone is worth more than 7 bucks.

Holy crap, idol, you really do live in the middle of nowhere.  One car for at least three people?  Everyone in my whole family has their own (working) car.

I'm going to be getting a car in Sept. Hopefully. My cousin is going to Germany for a year and selling me his.

Awesome!  Then you can pick up chicks!

Also, I was looking for FF7 for forever and a half.  I hate you.

Damn, that's awesome man, you lucked out.  Every now and then you can find steals like that at pawn shops.
