Joe, you just went up a few notches in my book with this comment. Shadow of Destiny is one of the better PS2 games, in my opinion, and it gets no respect. The PC port isn't half bad either. The story is great, and isn't as spoon-fed as most of the stuff we see in the gaming industry.Originally Posted by digitalpress
Nothing great today but scored a few nice items at yesterday's NAVA.
Nintendo Wii System, LOADED (complete) - owned by a forum member who clearly loved his system. Loaded with virtual console games and first-party titles completely unlocked (most notably all of the Smash Bros Brawl characters), this Wii replaced our store Wii immediately and our store Wii, which was already pretty loaded itself, was later sold to another forum member. It's all in the family around here.
SNES Ninja Gaiden Trilogy (loose) - I think this is only the second time we've had this traded in to the store. Nice.
Genesis Contra Hard Corps (complete) - Always in demand.
PS2 Document of Metal Gear Solid (complete) - One of the titles from my personal collection that I shouldn't have given up when I opened the store, this is the first time it has been traded in since and came back home with me.
XBox 360 Ninja Gaiden 2 (complete) - First time traded in, the game is about two weeks old - that's actually kinda a long time to go without seeing a game traded in.
Laseractive System with Genesis Module (loose) - Actually donated, not traded-in. The disc system doesn't work but the Genesis module does. I believe I have a Laseractive with no modules so I may extract this one and sell the other a bit more "complete".
Man, I'll bet that guy got a good chunk of cash/credit for that Laseractive.

Um... if you read back a sentence or two you'll see it was donated and that it doesn't exactly work.
Oh summer, you are HERE. Literally bajillions of things traded in today, I'll filter it out a bit.
SNES Earthbound (loose) - It's been awhile.
SNES Lot (loose) - of which the above more prominent title was a part, this lot included Super Punch-Out!! (which I swear is the least-traded-in first party game I've ever seen), Super Metroid, Turtles IV, Zombies Ate My Neighbors, Super Mario World, Super Mario All-Stars, and more.
PS1 Einhander (complete) - This Squaresoft shooter never lasts on our shelves more than a few days.
NES Bible Lot (loose) - Includes King of Kings, Exodus, and Bible Adventures. Interesting, but also part of a larger lot, which included some more really good games. All the Super Marios, Contra, Bubble Bobble, and a dozen or so others.
Nintendo DS Nintendogs Best Friends Edition (complete) - This game came with the old style Blue DS, and was traded in with the outer envelope and manual. Just no DS.
GameCube Legend of Zelda Master Quest (complete) - We've gotten quite a few of the Collector's Edition (gray) since I started this thread, but this might be the first time I've seen this one (gold) this year.
N64 Resident Evil 2 (complete) - Yeah, this was a fire sale item at Toys R Us a few years ago and I bought tons of them, but I wish I had more THESE days.
I must have missed that. Einhander is one that I rarely see in the wild. I saw it once, bought it, and never saw it again. I see you still have a steady flow of SNES stuff coming in.

Missed a couple of minor ones from yesterday.
Final Fantasy VII (complete) - Black label version. Immediately scooped up by one of our staff.
NES Collection (loose) - A tidy assortment of about 30 games, including the ones we're always looking for: Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!, Super Mario Bros (all three), Kid Icarus, Castlevania, and a few interesting titles peppered in there, like Wrecking Crew.

FFVII is one of those games that you really do see a lot. It's just mad expensive right now.
Quick catch-up from yesterday.
PS1 Vagrant Story (complete) - I think this is the third one traded in since I started this thread. I thought it was a little more uncommon than it has been, at least in this neck of the woods.
PS1 Star Ocean (complete) - TWO PS1 RPG's in one day? Wait...
PS1 Xenogears (missing manual) - Three! Well, two and a half. It sucks when the manuals are missing but at least everything else is in great shape.
PS1 Star Ocean is one of the best. Highly under rated JRPG that most RPG fans haven't even played.

What would I get for trading in an Aladin (no box) and each Aladin game with box and all papers and such. Infact I think only onw of the games may have been opened.
Maybe you should PM Joe with this question.
You think?
______________________________________
Typical frantic Saturday, loads and loads of trade-ins, mostly common stuff (not that there's anything wrong with that). One interesting note is that today was very Nintendo-heavy. This includes but was not limited to:
N64 Zelda Ocarina of Time (loose)
N64 Zelda Majora's Mask (loose)
N64 Super Smash Bros (loose)
SNES Zelda Link To The Past (loose)
SNES Turtles IV (loose)
SNES Super Mario Kart (loose)
SNES Pieces (complete) - ooh... haven't seen this one in awhile.
SNES Adventures of Yogi Bear (complete) - and I've never seen this one EVER.
SNES Donkey Kong Country (complete)
SNES Donkey Kong Country 2 (complete)
SNES Magical Quest featuring Mickey Mouse (complete) - cool.
GameCube Pikmin (complete)
GameCube Super Smash Bros Melee (complete)
GameCube Bloody Roar (complete)
... lots more. Long day, need sleep.
I'd say thats a damn good Saturday, resale wise. All the stuff people snatch up the moment it's in the store...
I bet you don't see Pikmin come in too often; it seems like it has a cult following nowadays.
You know the way Sundays are: wild card days. Sometimes really nothing (it's just a five hour day after all), sometimes really interesting (it's a weekend day, after all). So, today.
NES Aladdin Set (various) - I'm guessing this was from the poster above. Interesting set of Aladdin stuff included the Aladdin "enhancer" itself (loose) with a loose Dizzy cart, plus an open boxed Micro Machines, as well as some sealed boxed games Dizzy (again), Quattro Adventure, Quattro Sports, and Linus Spacehead.
PS2 BUZZ: The Mega Quiz Bundle (complete) - I've never heard of or seen this before. According to Raj, this is like the Scene It game for 360.
PS3 Metal Gear Solid IV (complete) - Here they come...
More like You Don't Know Jack ... except very slow, and not funny, or fun.
"And the book says: 'We may be through with the past, but the past ain't through with us.'"
I do wonder why people do that. Why buy a game and then trade it in a week or so later when rentals would be so much cheaper? The only explanation I can fathom is that they buy the game expecting to like it and then find out it's not their cup of tea so they try to minimize the damage to their wallets.
That's what I did with GTA IV.
