I was out game searching yesterday and didn't go out to the thrifts far away from me, but where I went I struck gold.

CAN ANYONE GET A BETTER DEAL ON THIS
I got these Saturn games
Shining Force 3 for $29.99!!!!!!!!!!!
Magic Knight Rayearth $19.99!!!!!!!!!!!
Shining Wisdom $34.99!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THESE PRICES BLEW MY MIND, LET ALONE FIND ALL THREE OF THESE TITLES COMPLETE AND MINT. TOGETHER TOO!!!! When I saw these I was freakin' out. This will hands down probable be my best find for the rest of the year!!!!!


COMMENTS ANYONE?

I haven't just beaten that deal, I've beaten the CRAP out of that deal. A couple of years ago I picked up a Saturn with a large assortment of games, including Panzer Dragoon Saga, Dragon Force, Albert Odyssey (which I still have... heaven only knows why), and Shining in the Holy Ark for $60. The games were all loose, but I still easily found buyers for them.

That's only a decent deal. It's not a great deal. Hell, at times, that's just about market value. Just this week I picked up a complete Shining Wisdom for $15 off EBAY for Christ's sake.

That was several years ago. This is today.
And they were loose.

Shining Wisdom was a little high but not outrageous.
But the other two more than make up for the diffrence.
I can't ever remember the last time a Shining Force 3 went for only 30 dollars
I've seen it go for more than 80$ complete on Ebay before.

But that's my opinion

Shining Force CD for three dollars is pretty sweet.
When I was still with my ex girlfriend she bought one for $40 on the Bay (Sealed) When we broke up she gave it to me, so I guess I got it for free :roll:

enjoy your find, enjoy your games but for whatever its worth paying $85 for 3 games aint the find of year. now if you had found those same games at thrift for $8.50 you'd have the jaws dropping. guess its the gamehunter in me, i like super bargin stories.

Several people on this site can beat that find with ease. It's a good find, serioously. I'd be damn excited if it were me. But, I know some guy last year found two stadium events (nes) for $0.50. I'd say that still about beats any deal I've heard before or since.

How about multiple copies of Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Collector's edition SEALED for $19.90 :P

But yeah, I think a boxed Neo Geo for $50 is still better. :o

Crazy! When I named the topic, I did it to spark a little excitement and fun, and I didn't expect to open up a battlezone. Oh well.

But tomorrow is coming and garage sales are at their high and There is still more great stuff at the store where that came from, so Everyone, prepare to hear about more cool finds.

Back to before, I know I probably didn't get the most insane low prices on those games, even though there still decent in my eyes. I got all three of them together which rarely happens in the wild. That's the biggest reason I was excited

I will admit Two Stadium Events for 50 cents lays my find to shame in every way possible.

blah blah blah, I have ALL OF YOU beaten on the Saturn find. Here's what I got:

Sega Saturn console w/ 3 controllers
Shining Force 3
Albert Odyssey
Shining Wisdom
Shining the Holy Ark
Willy Wombat (import)
Some DBZ game (import)
and about 13 other games (only 2 of which were loose)


price?

$50

I bought and added a few things to this lot and recently traded it to a fellow DP user, but that was a find and 2/3rd's I'd say :D.

Did you enjoy playing them though?

Because that's where you really get your money's worth.

Man, I'm still going

Today I found a copy of Crusader of Centy for Genisis for 14.99. Not cheap not expensive but glad I got it.

What I'm happy about is the five strat guides I found for three dollars apeice,
Dragon Force
Super Mario World 2
Toy Story
Donkey Kong Country 3
and best of all
Secret of Evermore

gotta love it because I never find old strat guides like that in quantity nowadays and for the price I think it's Sweet.
