Joystick was the best score. My sister actually spotted it. I noticed the $14.41 sticker. The .41 ending means it was on clearance. I had him scan it and it came to $4.32. :-P The only bad part is I don't even have an xbox!!! My sister is going to get one for me for X-mas. I just thought I would get a head start. :D

[-hellvin-]

Game Gear games $3 each:

Nice find on pengo! I LOVED that game on my 800xl. I would probably break out my game gear to play it if I ever found it.

Anyhow for me:

Genesis - Vectorman
Genesis - Super Street Fighter II: New Challangers
Genesis - Madden 95

All for free ;D. Thanks to Nez. Puts me at 263 boxed/complete genesis games. Almost to the big 300.

Might go hunting on Wednesday. I haven't gone thrifting in probably a record amount of time lately so maybe I'll take a crack at it. Also awaiting a bunch of sms games and boxes as well as over 100 genesis boxes in the mail. Hope I see em tomorrow!

[Funkenstein]

Gunstar Heroes, cart and manual for $7 and some change in an indy game store. It'd be a complete steal if it had the box, but I'm not going to nitpick finding one of the top games on my hit list and not have to pay shipping. I've also got some ebay schwag on the way (including Super Punch-Out!! which is THE top game on my "wants") which is going to be nice if it all actually works.

[sniperCCJVQ]

PIcked up the following at a garage sale Sunday:
http://imagehost.vendio.com/preview/ma/masco/gboy.jpg


Damn! I need WWF King of the ring and Superstars 2 box and manual.

[charitycasegreg]

Thats surprising someone kept the boxes. Not many people do that. I was one of the only people I knew who kept them, and this was before I collected. I still cant find my pokemon red, pokemon blue, donkey kong land, or mario land 2 boxes. They are somewhere in my house. Also, I was at my friends last week and his bro got a gameboy advance sp for his birth day and I asked where the boxes for the games were. He came back with 2 crushed boxes with sause and stuff all over them, they were in his garbag.

[dreamcaster]

Blaster Master (NES) - cart. only, $4.00 AU
Donald in Maui Mallard (SNES) - cart. only, $7.00 AU
S.C.A.R.S. (N64) - complete, $14.95 AU

[josekortez]

I did two trade-in deals yesterday that I won't soon regret.

At GameCrazy, I traded in a toaster NES and an N64 + doubles of Nintendo Tetris and Ninja Turtles 2 for the NES. I got Lunar Legend for Game Boy Advance new and I still have $7.30 in store credit.

At EB Games, I traded in my old review copies of NBA Live 2004, NHL 2004, and the new Fairly Oddparents, Jimmy Neutron, and Power Rangers games for all the next-gen systems.

I traded it all in toward Halo 2, which I have no intention of purchasing so I could get the extra store credit. Then, I purchased the following games during the Monday sale, and I used my Edge card:

Apex (XB, complete) - $11.69
Covert Ops (PS1, complete) - $3.59
Hobbit (XB, new) - $4.99
Legacy of Kain: Defiance (XB, new) - $9.99
Marble Master (PS1, complete) - $3.59
Max Payne 2 (PS2, complete) - $4.69
Midway Arcade Treasures (GC, new) - $9.99
New Legends (XB, complete) - $5.39
Shipwreckers (PS1, complete) - $3.59
Thunderstrike (PS2, complete) - $5.39
Tokyo Xtreme Racer Zero (PS2, complete) - $7.19

Best part is, I still have $13.76 in store credit plus the $5 from the Halo reserve plus I get a $25 store credit mail-in voucher for trading in 5 games! (The $5 will probably go toward Midway Arcade 2 tomorrow.)

[-hellvin-]

In the mail I received two boxes of about 15 SMS boxes and 100+ genesis boxes. Lots of great stuff in there and tons of trade bait/resell stuff I already got.

[Rogmeister]

Big Nose Freaks Out - Aladdin Compact Cart 8-)

For once, my reckless habit of not checking things out for flaws and such before I buy them finally paid off.

[Jibbajaba]

So far this week:

Katamari Damacy $18 plus tax

Classic Football handheld $2.50

Star Trek: TNG wall clock $4.50

I needed a wall clock in my game room so it's cool that I found the star trek clock. Unfortunately that means that I probably won't be buying one of Sniderman's clocks though, so it was kind of a bittersweet find. Maybe I'll buy one of Sniderman's clocks and just have two in the room.
