My friend Dan and I had plans to go to the Tacoma WA game sale/auction last Saturday. We set off at 6:30am and headed for Enumclaw so he could pickup a Playchoice 10. Picked that up and headed to the sale.
Got to the sale close to 9:30 and we were maybe 10th in line. Saw a couple people I knew and met Freckled Peas for the first time. Doors opened at 10 and the bum rush was on. By the time we were in most of the games were spoken for and the parts were nothing we needed. Oh well. Headed to Fry's then home. At lunch in Bellevue I called an operator who had a line on a Sprint 2. He called the owner and set it up and I picked up a Sprint 2 in decent non-working shape for FREE!!!!!!!
After that pickup we checked craigslist Seattle and nothing, checked Portland and there was a DK. Dan wanted it so I called and the guy held it. He ended up getting the DK, another complete cab minus monitor, some misc Nintendo parts and a Galaga.
So after a day that started at 6am it ended at home at midnight and I got one of my most wanted games. I drilled the locks today and found a quarter so I'm on the plus side.
