    garage sales today

    Not a bad day, got a working IBM PS/2 model 30 286 machine for $3 with keyboard, printer and Acer monitor

    Also got an original working Atari game console with 4 controllers, about 20 games, and cords for $15

    Figured i can sell those things easily for a profit of $125 or more. Not bad for doing something I love for 3 hours.



    Also got a couple cell phones for a buck

    I LOVED Frogger on Atari growing up, so much that I bought one of those cheep little joystick games of Frogger that you have to sit 3 ft. from the TV to play.

    Happy that you had some luck today!!

    My kids used to drive me nuts playing Donkey Kong and some space ship thingy, while trying to catch a quick 40 on the couch.
