[Atari Master]

Wow! Thats great! I wish I could get deals like that... Well... I did get a chance to dig trough my uncles house when he mooved. I got some Nintendo strategy guides and Armor Ambush.

[MegaManFan]

Cause one thing's for sure, with a haul like that, "cleaning up" is both figurative AND literal! :D

[Raijin Z]

Inversely, when I MOVED, I lost four paper grocery bags full of Master System and Atari stuff.

Wow! You really did nice for yourself. For 5 hours worth of work, you got a great deal of stuff and even got dinner. Besides the items that you picked up, how did your friend's garage sale turn out?

[sdstuff64]

Wow all you do to is help him AND you got dinenr???I'd say that was a really good deal!Helping your friend out and getting lots of free stuff,and dinner!Way to go!

[SS]

I'd say that the "actiplaque-free" Activision carts would have been worth the admission price alone. Nice haul!

[Cupcakus]

Yeah I couldn't believe the labels were perfect... I wanted to shout, but if he knew how valuable a perfect Activision label was to the Atari enthusiast he probably would have changed his mind
