Best Gamestop Finds

[kainemaxwell]

We all know of the evils of Gamestop's pricing and store credits, but what are some of your best finds or deals there?

[hezeuschrist]

My best one ever is actually my most recent.

Suikoden III
Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter
Xenosaga

Total: $58.08

All complete, all scratch free. Hell, Xenosaga was one of their 'new-used' ones. It was still sealed.

The employees at the GameStops near me always clear out the good deals on post-SNES systems before I have a chance. The best deal I've ever gotten was 2 Ken Griffey, Jr's Winning Run Demo Cartridges for $3.99 each.

[Shadysmurf]

I only ever got 1 "Good Deal" thier Nobunaga's Ambition: Lords of Darkness for $5.00 (Snes) R5, Great game sorta like Romance Of the three kingdoms, and I love that serious

[buttasuperb]

Dragonball Z Final Bout for 100 bucks. Turned around and sold it for 230.

[Drexel923]

Genesis arcade joystick - $2.99

[deadtech]

I worked at a GameStop for a bit, and got a few cheap games and such. But i think my 3 bests:

1. NES Tecmo World Cup proto/review cart = US$3

2. Boxed Sega Saturn Virtual On Twinsticks (with Sat-to-DC adaptor)= US$17

3. PS2 Gradius 3&4, after trade in of a promo PS2 game I got= US$1.29

Pretty good if you ask me :)

a complete NES Where in Time is Carmen San Diego. this includes the big paperback encyclopedia. bought it about 2 years ago at a of cost $1.99
:D

[Ed Oscuro]

Well, since Babbage's is now GameStop, I'd have to say Half-Life.

Or I could mention getting that N64 cartridge holder thing for $10, that was pretty nice. Filled it right up with all those crappy sports games I managed to get when a friend sold me his extra N64. Heh.

I happened to have found that exact thing about a month ago for the same price. Coolest part was when I opened up the box, it had a bunch of other NES game manuals stuffed inside with the Encyclopedia and game!! Most notably, I got manuals to Mega Man 4, and Zelda maps!!

Some of you may think I'm the devil for doing this, but I found a minty complete Chrono Trigger for $25.00. Turned around and sold the box and posters (but not the game or manual) for $30. Made $5 and kept the game to play.

Probably my best scores so far.

[Oobgarm]

I got a factory sealed Rad Racer for NES for a paltry $1.99 BEFORE my discount.

That's were I buy most of my stuff anyway, so singling out individual finds is tough.

But I believe the above find is my "crown" jewel, so-to-speak.

[klimatron8]

okay...... I walked in an hour or so after some dunderhead had dumped his minty fresh collection of Nes/Genny carts.

here was the score

NES: Hydlide (complete)
Wizardy2 (complete)
Magician (complete)

Genny: Phantasy Star2 (complete)
Phantasy Star 4 (complete)
Warsong (complete)
Columns (complete)
Light Crusaders (complete)
Shining Force 2 (complete)

oh and also a complete Snes Chrono Trigger!!!!!!!!!!

[ClubNinja]

And shortly after klimatron was there, I hit the same store to pick through his leftovers....

Phantasy Star III, Landstalker, Exile, etc etc. All complete. Awesome Gamestop score.

Other Gamestop scores include sealed Saturn games for $1.99 after they stopped selling them (Duke 3D, Dark Legend, etc) and a free Mega Man X3 after trading in a pair of old NES toasters.

[Ed Oscuro]

Remind yourself to ask who that guy was; I need to beat some sense into him.

I mean,

HOLY CRAP.

I was in my local gamestop checking out the used gaming stuff and noticed a sega nomad with ac adapter for $30! They didn't have any sega games to test it out so i picked up a used sonic 3 at another place that sells used video games. The next day with sonic 3 in hand I went to test and hopefully purchase the nomad... IT WAS GONE!!!

>:(

Well at least i have my nomad but it cost me much more than $30! :-D

[Lifebringeroftorv]

Black Sports Dreamcast used. Have not seen another used one for sale since. not much of a find, But I like it. :)

[kainemaxwell]

One my best was probably getting Videomation for the NES complete for $1.99 earlier this year.

What the smeg are all these complete games doing at GS? Every GS I go to throws out the box/docs for any game that's not a CD. I mean EVERY GS.

i got lucky finding that complete NES game months ago. The new Gamestop by me has completes of Tetris 2 for SNES (2 copies), Space Invaders for SNES (2 copies) and Super Star Wars, which are all still there. They once had 2 completes of Genesis 6-pak as well when they first opened.
