One man's trash is one rat's treasure . . .
9 years ago
Recently after cashing a paycheck I ended up Passing by some yard sales and took a look.
While I'd hate to be a stereotypical rat I am admittedly something of a trash picker, but most this stuff was junk. Honestly who on earth is actually going to buy a set of cracked ceramic dolphin plates? You're not going to make me feel guilty about eating them with some cheap airbrushed illustration.
After seeing nothing of worth I was about to leave when they asked me if there was anything that I was looking for. I mentioned I was just scanning to see if they hand any old video games and the guy disappeared back into the garage for a few seconds.
A few moments later he reemerged with a box that just had "SeGa" written on it with sharpie in block letters and offered me the whole box. I peeked inside and jumped on it immediately.
Back home I took the thing apart to find:
1 x Sega Genesis
2 x Genesis Controllers 3 button
2 x Genesis Controllers 6 button
1 x Sega Arcade stick and buttons controller
1 x Sonic 1 w box/manual
1 x Sonic 2 w box/manual
1 x Mortal Kombat 1 w box/manual
1 x Mortal Kombat 2 w box/manual
1 x Terminator Arcade Game w box/manual
1 x Sega 32x Addon
(A fuck load of other Genesis and 32x Games complete with box and manual.)
(Also some loose NES carts)
Best part?
The whole box was 10 bucks.
Fuck.
Yes.
Luck? Maybe. Also I figured I should ask about video games since they put out some boxes to a bunch of old consoles with their garbage the previous week. Again not a stereotypical rat or nothing . . . I just happened to notice.
Some like to window shop I like to window scavenge
Squeak, squeak!
