On Friday 6\/19, the sickness took Patrick and he stopped at a sale on the way to work. Good thing too: Saturday 6\/20 rolled around and we headed out to 18 tag sales. Nearly everywhere we went we were told that other people had already asked about video games and then bought them. Le sigh. However, we left early to get to one specific sale due to their ad mentioning Lego Star Wars. Here\u2019s what we got: The second sale we went to had mentioned \u201cPlay Station\u201d in their ad. Again, we got there early. Here\u2019s what we got: You know how sometimes you do things that you think are a good idea but aren\u2019t? Here\u2019s a good example: After asking about video games and being told they were already sold, one of the ladies at this sale told us that her husband was bringing a Pac-Man lunch box. She was very excited about it saying that it was going for over $100 on Ebay. We decided to wait and see what they were asking. Her husband wanted $30 which seemed reasonable for something that\u2019s selling for over $100 right?<\/p>\n Here\u2019s the lunch box: Our final sale of the day was pretty deserted by the time we got there.

We asked if there was anything she hadn\u2019t brought out and she said, \u201cOh, just some DS stuff.\u201d We asked to see it.

\nThis was one of those situations where you ask for video games and the proprietor runs back inside to bring them out. When questioned as to the price, entire stack or per game was mentioned. The man said, \u201c$15 takes it all!\u201d Sold. Valued at $200+.<\/p>\n

\nThere wasn\u2019t much Star Wars surprisingly, but there were enough branded stuff that we decided to buy everything. Paid $75 and valued at $250.<\/p>\n

\nPaid $25 for everything. Not bad. Hard to value the Lego until we have time to dig through it, but it seems reasonable that everything together is worth around $100.<\/p>\n

\nActual value based on average Ebay prices: $15. Ouch. We are suckers. We were suckered.<\/p>\n
