Midweek Finds 3-15 to 3-18

[sisko]

I've come to realize that about 25% of my Thrift finds are when I specifically set time aside to go. The other 75% are when I stop because it's on the way even though I really don't want to.

Today's finds were in the latter category:

SNES2 w/ 2 controllers, AC, A/V - $9
SMW - $2.50
Tetris Attack - $2.50

[tholly]

from ebay

cubix robots for everyone: showdown sealed w/ blockbuster dvd still attached -- $6.83 + shipping

outlaw golf: holiday golf (toys r us version) sealed -- $5.99 + shipping
i already had the blockbuster version of this, so i figured why not get the other version too.
