Weekend Finds Sep 17, 18th

[Steempy]

Picked up PS2 Wipeout Fusion and GC Beyond Good and Evil for $AUS15 each complete at a pawn shop, and in return for driving my dad across town, he bought me PS2 Ace Combat Squadron Leader for $AUS30 second hand at a gamestore as well.. pretty decent considering I've only ever seen it either $AUS100 new or $AUS80 second hand at EB.

Also, if you're anywhere near Harvey Norman in Midland, Western Australia in the next few months (and I'm sure most of you are), keep an eye on their price for PS2 GT4 - it's already 50% off, and they had about 8000000000 copies of it.

[josekortez]

Steempy doesn't waste any time, does he...

[Videogamerdaryll]

I hit the flea at opening...
Getting there within the time of all the rush in,run around early bird scavengers..(looks like mice running in mazes)
Suck thing about getting there that early is lots of people are still unpacked and coming in..I walked around for hours checking to see what else was put out and what other vendors showed up..(not as many vendors as usual)

Nothing special today... Lots of NES games and systems...but I'm stocked up so I passed all of them up...I didn't even buy game that I don't own..
So I just grabbed.

All the stuff to the left in the pic $20.00 for all...Finally got a Namco TV game cheap..(my other is broke)
The 6 NES games. $1.00 Each..(NES games to sell)

Grandia II for PS2 $15

Then went to Gamestop with their buy 2 get 1 free sale
Traded my old PS2 system(launch system), it works but is really slow to read discs. Got $60 in store credit for the system.

So I got 20 games for about $50 and my crappy old ps2, lumines, and a group of about 10 old cds' and dvd's.

Not a bad road trip

[THATinkjar]

I popped over to PC World, and finally found a copy of Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3. I couldn't find that game new anywhere. It is also the collector's edition, hence its rather beefy £39.99 price tag.

I also picked up Driver 3 for the PC, which came bundled with the strategy guide, for only £7.99.

[Steempy]

Just got ex-rentals of PS2 Final Fantasy X2 for $AUS20 (original pressing) and PS2 Dark Chronicle for $AUS15 - was rather pleased with both - and the discs don't have ring stickers, came with original cases, only one removable sticker on manuals, discs in good condition, etc etc.

They had a massive amount of PS2 and XB games, prices between $AUS25 and $10.. 1/3 of the PS2 I had, 1/3 wasn't worth it, and 1/3 was in mortal danger come payday.

[Steempy]

Gah! Sorry for double post.

Just gotta search bro. Stuff you'd never expect is there, hiding. Sometimes it takes a willing soul to seek it out and sometimes its just blind luck

Anyways, here are my finds. A little overdue (i.e. not this weekend) but I haven't posted them yet. The cache from two different church rummage sales.

I'm trying to be the first person to ever complete a collection for a console, without actually owning that console. ;) . Well, not really, but its crossed my mind.
Getting 30 of the games within 2 days gave me no time to actually get the 32X. Some day.
