Well I decide to drop in on my local pawn shop.
They haven't had anything good there for a LONG time.
But I'm sure glad I did. :D

I can't think of enough curse words to hell in my own frustration. My pawn shops never have anything maybe I will get lucky today. Congrats on the killer finds.

i agree with kai on this. you are one lucky sumumabitch. its not as bad as going to my friends house for the first time, looking through the family's little collection and seeing Suikoden and Suikoden II complete, a sealed copy of Disgea, and a loose copy of Earthbound for the snes :angry:

Pawn shops around here dont have good stuff like that. Most of them dont even have anything Pre PS1 except 2 of them. And one of them I dont care to visit because the owner is a racist redneck. :angry:

The pawn shops around here have stuff every once and awhile. The best thing I have found was a boxed NES Top Loader for $39.99.

Great find jonjandran!!

Excellent! I wouldnt have paid 6.99 for DKC2, SMK or S Metroid...Ive eventually found them all at 2.00 each or under. Spet for Metroid, which ive passed on for 5.00 a bunch of times.

Other than that you did KILLER!

Nice find... !

The best find I can remember from a second hand shop was a MINT boxed SMS light phaaer for £5 some years ago.. :roll:

I was trying to get them thrown in for cheap. But the guy went as low as he would and I didn't want to be too much of a cheap-ass and put those back. :D
I can sell them on Ebay and make my money back.

I've never checked out a Pwan Shop myself though I don't think any around my area actually carry games... :(

mr. jandran, your luck does nothing less than amaze me. you're a thrifter at heart.

furthermore, daryll......don't you dare step foot in a pawn shop. both of you almost make me angry with your killer finds. I can't decide who is luckier or who i want to follow around town :P

Dude, Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger, SUPER METROID... you got some of the greatest games ever right there! And a Game Gear... that wouldn't happen to be the one I sold long ago, would it? LOL

Anyway, sweet deal, Jon! :D

God, 3 of the most 133735t SNES Games for only $7 Each from a Pawn Shop! My local Pawn Shop carries Genesis and Up, but they do occasionally stock Saturn, SMS, etc. They're good for cheap laptops to resell on eBay, which I have done from them on 2 Occasions... :P
