I wouldn't call any of these "finds" as I paid regular price (except one was $20 as it was a Player's Choice title) but what the heck, here's what I got today...

Rumble Roses (PS2)
Mario Power Tennis (GC)
Medal of Honor: Rising Sun (GC)

I got these games as I got a bonus check (profit-sharing) and decided to treat myself to some new games for a change...

I bought san andreas off a friend for $20 and got a note that my ebay win is waiting for me at the post office (sega genesis w/ five games, one of which is a complete copy of musha which cost me about $30 total). I think the mail lady refuses to deliver packages to me since somebody (the wife or me) was here all afternoon, but the last couple times she's been freaked out by our dog so I think thats why.

Value Village's half off sale was pretty nice to me.
2 SS games, $2.49 each and the Virtua Cop one has #1 & 2 in the case, which is nice, but the bottom of the case is Virtua Fighter Remix, so now I need that insert. :/
Master System games, 1.49 each, hoorah. All seem complete too, nothing special though oh well.
Seaquest $1, not sure why I got this, it is so dirty.
Light guns, $2.49 each :D Yay 2 player Virtua Cop.

And from a local thrift, the Ultima book for 50 cents and the N64 guide for $1.

All in all I am happy, just lucky finds at the VV today, usually I'm lucky to find 1 item there.

EDIT: Also today I got a letter informing me I won third prize in the Wendys/Nintendo contest :D which is a Gamecube game or GBA game of Nintendo's choice.. I hope I get something I don't already have. Excellent, I am happy about this prize. :)

I just had my best day of game shopping ever. I knew it was going to be a good one when the first game I saw upon walking over to the used PSX games at GameCrazy was a complete copy of Klonoa: Door to Phantomile for $15 staring at me.

Descent Maximum

Got some Brand Spankin new 3DO goodness in the mail from this auction:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8142823419

I was looking for some new controllers and found this auction. It also had some games I did not have. I really didn't need another one but hey, who can pass up a new in box system. Shoot, even all of the controllers were unopened except one. Pretty stoked. :D

V

Holy crap thats a good deal. I can;t believe that no one noticed that auction. That should have sold for $100+ considering all the extra crap that it came with. Congrats!!!

well, havent decided what im going to do with most of them, although ive decided what im going to do with the mm1 and 6. im gonna locate 2 common nes boxes for cheap, and just glue these over top of whatever box it is. the only idea i have for the remaining (nes) ones, is to do what you said, or take the best ones and get them laminated into one big mat and display that. i think that would be cool ;)

Arrived in the mail from ebay today: Comix Zone ($6.50 AU inc. postage).

Im still kinda surprised that i got it for $2, especially because its fairly uncommon here. Actually ive seen more copies Fatal Fury 2 and Mega man Wily Wars than i have of the australian release Comix Zone.

Does anyone know if it came with the Audio CD in Australia ? Seeing as how this is the first copy ive seen in 2 years and for some reason i get the feeling ozisoft tried to save money where possible i dont really know.

With the coupon Sniderman posted, I scored a complete copy XIII for PS2 used from EB Games for $4.11 with tax included last night.

The salesperson calculated the 30% off wrong twice. Then, he just said "F--- it. Just swipe your debit card." I said, "Cool." 8-)

Of course, I made numerous copies of the coupon, so I'll probably post again soon... :evil:

My wife and I went Christmas shopping at a Toys R Us store today. I scored:

NFL Blitz 2000 for Dreamcast....sealed $4
Chef's Love Shack for Dreamcast....sealed $4
Gran Turismo 2 (couldn't believe it when I saw it sealed....made my day)

Funny......we went into a "big chain" video game store......and the "oh so hardcore gamer who works in a game store so fuck you I know everything" clerk looked at me with that "shit" look when I asked him if he had any Dreamcast stuff. He then told me that if it wasn't Cube, XboX or PS2 stuff, they aren't interested. (for the record, I spent years running a game shop....I know that not all employees have his attitude)

How quickly they forget.
