[Mattiekrome]

:eek 2: Man, there are some good finds in there... one thing tho, what the hell is a Tony Hawk Lithograph - $0.89, maybe a picture or ad or something? Not familiar with that kind of stuff :embarrassed:

[Big Papa Husker]

Lemme get a pic of it. There were tons of them too. The only reason I called it a lithograph is because that is what it said on the receipt.

Average.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of the games you scored are very common, and were scored at their average price (or a little better). However the guides you snagged is a pretty nice deal.

No, it's not phenominal but its not bad either :)

Go back and snag Panzer Dragoon. GREAT game there.

[Big Papa Husker]

Oh, funny thing is... I dont even have a Saturn.. haha

[Aussie2B]

Well, you got several good games at reasonable prices, so I'd be happy with the purchases if I were you. :)

[sisko]

Oh, funny thing is... I dont even have a Saturn.. haha

Even still, thats a pretty good price for one of the best Saturn games. If you need a system, drop me a PM, I have several extra I could sell you.

Good finds

I tried hitting up a bunch of TRU's in my area but came up quite empty handed

Maybe I'll have to try Mesa someday

How long will that green tag sale last anyhow? None of the games at my locations even have green tags.

[Cirrus]

I'd say the best finds were Typing of the Dead (great game!) and Panzer Dragoon. Too bad that was a find and not a buy.

Go back and get that!

Also, what is a TRU?

[squirrelnut]

Also, what is a TRU?

toys r us

[maxlords]

I'd say the best thing there was the Earthbound strategy guide. That's a nice find, even trashed :)

[Cmosfm]

Average finds, nothing spectacular.

I would like to find a KoF 00/01 for 9.00 though.

[Big Papa Husker]

TRU also had R-Type Final for $15, LPT for $22.98, FD18 for $30, and saw a Gradius III/IV @ EB for $14.99.

Do you think I would be smart to pick those up?

[djbeatmongrel]

pretty decent find, if you can get another KOF 00/01, i'll gladly pay you for it

[JohnnyA]

The firefighting game goes for significantly more than $30 on eBay, if you're into that kind of thing... :-)

[racecar]

pretty cool find(6.5/10).. it's that a Real autograph of Tony Hawk :hmm: ...i thought that i got a real autograph SHAQ rookie card once from a store :P
i 'll post my find next week..... stay tune :hmm: @_@ :eek 2: :o

[tholly]

lots of great prices


7.39 / 10.0

[Big Papa Husker]

I wonder if those Lithographs are worth anything... they are so cheap... haha

[retroman]

not bad for the saturn..i would have paid that

[slip81]

Not a bad haul. I would go back and pick up that Panzer Dragoon though, that's a good price if it's complete.

Also you wanna sell that SoE guide? PM me.

[Big Papa Husker]

I am not selling anything at the moment.

Tomorrow me and my friend are going hunting at a couple more TRU's. Wish us luck!

[vincewy]

I combed through all TRU stores in MPLS/St Paul, they're pretty much picked cleaned, ironicly, I got most 70% stuff at Rochester MN store

DC:

Alien Front Online $5
Jet Set Radio $3 (more if anyone wants it PM me)
Spawn $7.5
Tennis 2K2 $3
Carrier $6
all memory card, Game Shark, 3rd party controller for 75 cents each

PS2:

Super Bust-A-Move $3

Besides 70% off clearance, there're many games priced at $3.50 to $5, I'm sure most of you know that now.

[Big Papa Husker]

I wish I would have known about this sale before it started. That way I could stake out DC, N64, and PSOne stuff and then hide it behind new games ;)

[Big Papa Husker]

UPDATED FIND:

Today I found Lunar 2 Complete for PSX with everything for $34.99.. What do you guys think?

[Crush Crawfish]

I say buy it. It's an excellent game, and usually goes for at least $50 on ebay complete.

[Big Papa Husker]

I did pick it up! :) I almost didnt but then as I was about to leave something told me to buy it. I would have probably came back anyway tomorrow, but knowing my luck, it would have been gone. I missed VP with the guide for $60 that way... and a SNES with 2 controllers and 9 games for $20... :(

[Big Papa Husker]

I also picked these up yesterday and forgot to post them.

Toys R Us
Beyond Good and Evil (PS2) $6.49
KOF 00/01 (PS2) $9.00
Um Jammer Lammy (PSX) $5.99

EB
Rival Schools (PSX) $7.19
Tobal No 1 COMPLETE w/ FF7 Demo (PSX) $4.49

Just today I also found at another EB,
The Guy Game $39.99

I wonder if this will shoot up in a few months.

[Big Papa Husker]

Today I picked up:

Crazy Taxi (DC) - $1.47
Alienfront Online (DC) - $4.49
Contender (PSX) -$2.99

AND...

A Sega Saturn (Oval) w/ 1 controller, all hookups and Nascar 98 at a pawn shop. I got them to bring it down to $25 :)

[Big Papa Husker]

How much does Lunar:SSSC go for? Im going to go check it out at a store to see if it has the box or if it is just the game.

[kainemaxwell]

Wow, nice find for one day!
8-)

[Big Papa Husker]

I went to the store and found SSS, but I didnt buy it. It did not have the map and the box was all smashed/ripped. I put my name on the waiting list for another complete copy ;)

[Lemmy Kilmister]

How long will that green tag sale last anyhow? None of the games at my locations even have green tags.

It's been going on for months with no end in sight, so i'd say till they run out of inventory. As for items not have the greentags, don't worry, at my store they haven't bothered taking off the old stickers either, the discount just rings up at the end.


TRU also had R-Type Final for $15, LPT for $22.98, FD18 for $30, and saw a Gradius III/IV @ EB for $14.99.

Do you think I would be smart to pick those up?

Yeah, I would. R-type Final is awesome, especially at 15 bucks, FF18 is going for mucho bucks on ebay right now, and Gradius III and IV is will... fairly hard to come by. So yeah, i'd say go for it.

[Big Papa Husker]

I went back to get Gradius III/IV and it was gone :( But FD18 is still there, along with LPT.
