Hi guys,
I've been away from my computer for a few days, but on Friday, I went dumpster diving at Hollywood Video/Gamecrazy while on winter vacation. I left the store after discovering that the buy 2, get 1 free sale was over, and I noticed that there were about 100 DVD cases tossed into the trash. As you might expect, there were video-game cases tossed in with the rest. In addition to the following, I got an empty PlayStation display box and 8 Genesis sports game cases with the instructions and posters still in them.
Anyway, here's most of what I collected:

There weren't any posters out there like I hoped. Just a GameCube display that had been beaten to hell. I figure I can fill these cases with former Blockbuster rentals at some point in the future. Anyone see the irony in my plan? LOL
Before someone says anything, I know this isn't the trading forum, but if anyone is interested in trading promos, instructions, or other things for the cases with asterisks next to them, I'm open for discussion. I need a long-box Zero Divide manual and a Star Wars GC demo disc insert bad right now...
