Checked it out. They did have a ton of stuff for sale, but stuff like old action figures and comics books and junk... well, they might seem more appealing on paper than after you take a look at them. Still, he had some games. It wasn't a great haul, but he was selling NES games for a dollar each. I'm sure better deals are available out there, but I didn't mind $1 a pop to increase my collection. I got the following (all NES):

Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt
Tetris
Ms. Pac-Man (x2)
Silver Surfer (AVGN!)
Batman (AVGN!)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Project
John Elway's Quarterback

Also picked up a Chicago Bulls beer glass and Yosemite Sam plushie for a buck each. He had some other games on hand, including a Japanese Pokemon Silver, Tetris for Game Boy, Wario Land for GB (or GBC), and Lion King for GB. I was interested, but he was asking $2 for those so I was gunshy. Maybe you guys can tell me if the JPN Pokemon is worth it. He also had some other NES games, but they didn't look as good as the ones I picked up. He said he had more games that weren't with him, including N64 and 360 stuff, so I gave him my number if he wanted to sell later.

There were 3000+ comics on sale, but the guy was asking for way too much ($1 each unless buying in bulk). Comics just don't have that kind of value. I remember visiting a comic shop when they were liquidating, and they were letting five go for a buck. He also had tons of Star Wars stuff on hand, but most were from the prequel trilogy, so I didn't care. Might go back if I have a sudden rush to scoop up the rest of the games.
