Didn’t get much done today for some reason.

Got on a call with my Distributor. I was looking to get some Pokemon that I pre-ordered a couple of months ago. Nothing for me. Turns out since I haven’t ordered any Pokemon in the last few years, I am at the back of the line.

We’ll eventually start getting Pokemon again. When? I don’t know.

Gran Turismo 5.

My son likes playing that game. He’s on a mission to buy a Lamborghini. In the game that is. He’s at 120,000 credits, only needs 160,000 credits to go.

Need to start getting ready for Toy Con Toy Show this Sunday We’ll be there once again. We did real good last time, hopefully we’ll do even better this time.

Wednesday morning, let’s head to the Swap. Just got to drop the kids off at school first.

Not much there today. The guy I got all those Pokemon games from last time was there, and once again he didn’t have anything for me. I tried striking up a conversation with him, and realized he didn’t understand English! That’s ok. This whole time I thought he was going to bring me some more Video Games. I won’t give up on him, he’ll eventually find some more items for me.

We did not leave empty handed today. A nice gentleman had a copy of the Final Fantasy VII Advent Children OST. The first printing Outer Sleeve included! And, that my friends is something that I can’t pass up. He said I made his day better. He made mine better too!

Also got a 20% Coupon running on eBay at the moment. This one expires at the end of the month. I can’t remember what the Coupon Code is, but it’s automatically applied when you buy something.

Also picked up some Final Fantasy VIII Triple Triad cards. Just waiting for those to come in sometime next week.

Palos Hills Bargain Days! That’s what was the plan for the morning.

Driving around from garage sale to garage sale, it was like a car pool. The same four cars driving from one to the other.

Found some Minecraft Plushies that should do good at the shows, some 90’s cassette tapes, and a Chicago Fire Jersey from 2020. I’m a Fire fan, even though I don’t watch them as much as I used to. I stopped watching when they made the switch to Apple TV.

There was a big fat skunk out there today. Even with the Village Wide Garage Sale in Justice. I’ve come to realize that the only good day for Garage Sales is Thursday. The other days might be good, but they’re most likely already picked through.

It’s Saturday, got to wake up early and get moving. Took the two little ones with me today to make my rounds at the Swap in Alsip.

I thought I hit a jackpot early on, when I saw a case of Wii Games just sitting there. Right on top is Mario Kart. That tells me to take a closer look. I grab it and hand it to my daughter, and start going through all the games. I should check the cases before I get anything, and they were all empty.

Time to keep moving.

Ended up finding a Power Pad for the NES. I don’t think anyone really used this. Even in the 80’s I can’t remember if any of my friends had it. Got to test it out now, I’ll just have the kids try it out somehow.

It was still early, so we went to a second Flea Market, this one was in the city. And this was maybe 3 times as big as the one in Alsip. Found a couple of Wiis that I probably over paid for.

Time to head home, an get ready for Toy Con Toy Show.

Early wake up call once again.

TIme for the Toy Con Toy Show. Grabbed my daughter and off we went.

It’s a Star Wars Celebration, and there were Storm Troopers walking around. It was a fun show, even though it wasn’t that busy. We still made a decent amount of sales.

The vendor next to us didn’t show up, so we got some extra table space. I told my daughter that if she sells anything that I put on the table, I’ll give her 5 bucks. I then gave her the task of making it presentable. She kept rearranging everything, even built a wall with all the boxes.

She then asked if I can put the Minecraft plushies on her table. I gave them to her, and she sold them. All 3 of them.

She was proud, and then she got bored and just wanted to play Roblox.

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.

05/08

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.

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.

05/11

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.
