Won PAL complete Mr Bones for 17 Euros. Only 1 page view ... I definitely saw it first, so I think I deserve it! Been looking for this puppy for years ... in fact, I don't even know what it is worth because I haven't seen it anywhere for sooo long. Happy days!

I was at the Goodwill today looking at some old tapes, and guess what I found.....

I notice the box had no price, so I go to the front of the store, and some old guy said he was pricing all Playstation games at $.75! So, a CD-I game for 75 F'n Cents!!!
Unfortunatly, I don't have a CD-I, so, anyone want a copy of Link: The faces of evil?

Possibly, I'll IM you when I see you online. (My original intent was to make some $$$ off them via ebay or something)
Btw... how much do places give for trade in for a deck?

Also, I received the complete set of Star Trek: TNG on DVD (7 sets!) through a really sweet trade. I traded off a Jag system + games, some ultra rare SMS games, and a $100 for it. I don't focus on Jag or SMS and I'm a Star Trek geek, so it was a great deal for me.

Yeah, it's a nice soft pink. It kinda resembles the import PS2 on my site. Ironically I bought it and got rid of my cobalt SP (was always a little to "purple" for me)
