Kardboard Fantasy

Ended up listing all of the Video Games, that we got at the Flea Market on eBay. You might ask why not just on the website? Well, we’ll be listing games that we personally like on the Kardboard Korner. We might be moving to Shopify soon, as that might be better for us in the near future.

Ran a sale on all the singles on the website. 20% off. Some of you got a great deal. Some of you missed out.

You’ll have to keep an eye out for the next sale. Or you can just subscribe to the newsletter and we’ll let you know when it will pop up.

Did a restock on Resurgence of Power, for TCG Player and eBay.

Since our Cinco de Mayo coupon did pretty good, we decided to add one more day to it. Didn’t do so great today.

We’re sponsors for the Fun Run that our kids go to school at. And we got our T-Shirts in today. These ones look better than last year’s shirts, and plus we have the Kardboard Korner logo on the back. Can’t go wrong with that.

It’s Wednesday, and that means we’re heading to the Flea Market, in hopes of finding our guy there. He was there today, but he had nothing for me. Just half of a Switch game pad. The blue side if you need to know. I left it there.

The Power Supply came in today, now let’s see if we can get this PlayStation 2 to work. I got a bunch of games that I need to test. Once this one is good, I’m going to start on the 3 Xboxs.

It turns on now, but I must have messed something else up.

It was the Fun Run today, we went to support our kids. Plenty of Coffee provided, so I was happy. I cheered on the kids and took off.

Found some PlayStation accessories while I was out sailing today.

City wide Garage Sales.

That’s our cue. Dropped the kids off to school and off we go. And, even though it said city wide there weren’t that many sales out there. All we managed to find was a Sully Talking Plush. Which was pretty cool, but not exactly what we needed. We still picked it up though.

As I was starting to head home, I saw a tiny sign, it’s a garage sale sign all right. Had a little trouble finding it. Once I got there, I walked all the way to the back of the driveway, and I see 2 people going through 2 bins full of Vintage Nintendo. I’m talking about Consoles and Games. You name it, it was in there. I just turned around and left. No point in sticking around there.

Now that sucked big time. I was a little pissed off, not at those two. They had every right to grab them all, I would have done the same. I was just pissed that I didn’t get there first. It’s all good though. They got it, as they should have.

Restock for From Nightmares on TCG Player and eBay.

First off let’s rewind a couple of days.

My son saw a Minecraft Nightlight that I had for sale for when I would go to shows. And, as every 6 year that would see it. He wanted it. Of course he asked for it and I said no. I told him that he can earn it. All he had to do was come work with me for a day or two. He agreed. I also told him that on Saturday he would have to wake up early so we can head out to the Flea Markets.

Today’s the day. I woke him up, and he got up so fast, he got ready in 5 minutes. I was surprised. He was ready to go. He kept asking what do I have to do?

I said just come along for the ride, maybe you’ll learn something.

It was a fun day with him, just cracking jokes in the car.

First Flea Market, we ended up with a couple of XBox 360s, a Dreamcast, Gameboy Color, PS2 Slim, an Ipod, a battery for an Ibook, and some games for these systems.

We were done with that one, and since it was still early, we decided to go to another one. We found one that was off of I-55 which said was open on Saturday. Turns out it was not. We turned around and headed towards another Flea Market, took us 20 minutes just to get a Parking Spot at the last one. You’d think that it would be a great one. But, we did not find anything there.

That was it for today, time to head home.

Sunday.

It was time to try and test everything that we picked up yesterday. Most of the Consoles had cables and everything, but some were missing a cable or a controller. So, we couldn’t test those.

Out of all the games that were in the package that we picked up yesterday, the only one really worth anything was Gran Theft Auto 2 Collector’s Edition for the original PlayStation. And, that one sold within the hour of listing it.

I might have to find a way to let you all know of the new items before they hit eBay.
