February 2008 Finds

[DigitalSpace]

Checked out a few different places yesterday. Here's what I got:

Super NES:
Lethal Enforcers (cart only) - $2.99 at Goodwill

GBA e-reader:
Donkey Kong 3-e (new) - $2.99 at GameStop

Other:
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Brady Games strategy guide for Xbox/PC - $2.99 at Goodwill

I sold the GTA: SA guide to a friend for what I paid for it. He recently bought the Xbox version of the game and told me to keep an eye out for a guide for him. Lethal Enforcers is in great shape.

Tecmo Super Bowl (NES, loose) with manual - $2
Super Mario Bros 2 (NES, loose) - $1

A couple of PC games for $5... One was Ringworld, brand new, and the other was called Magic. I forget the rest of the name but it sells for more than $20 on eBay. :P

I also got a Kingdom Hearts II strategy guide for a buck.

Oh yeah, I found a new copy of the Beatmania bundle for PS2 for $35 at Toys'R'Us.

Magic... would that be Master of Magic? That games sells pretty well on Ebay.

[Kitsune Sniper]

Yeah, that's it. It's the floppy disc version, though.

[Cambot]

Gauntlet II & Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde (NES)

Sealed NES games! I got these today at a used book store. They were both $10. Not very cheap, but I couln't resist. I still can't resist opening these. The fact that Dr. J & Mr. H is one of the worst games of all time keeps the shrinkwrap safe. And I have multiple versions of Gauntlet.


Sprit of Speed 1937 (Sega Dreamcast)

$4.00. Never heard of it. Now it's mine.

[walrusmonger]

US $235,00 + US $15 shipping + US $8 insurance
US $258 together.

I think it was cheap for this Rare Demo. The NTSC Wii cost me later maybe the same price.

damn you just made me vomit in my mouth. i knew i should have swapped my regular zelda for that NFR version before i left. thanks for the info of course this was a year ago, so there's nothing i could do now.

[Nitrosport]

I picked up almost 200 ps1 games for $120. About 140 of them were loose and the rest were complete. Additionally, about 40 of the loose ones had the original manuals but no back insert.

[namzep]

Some more Gamecube games and I finally got ahold of Tetris DS. That will teach me to hold off on buying games I really want.

[evil_genius]

Nice copy of Final Fantasy radiantsvgun.

[cyberfluxor]

had that happen to me at a local pawn shop a friend and I have been buying $1 games at for years now.

What is with so many thrifts and some pawns selling things like records and games for $1 each? Over those years I've been digging minimum wage has increased, some inflation and higher costs to living but these items stay $1, not more and no less. Don't know why but this has been bothering me today, is it the simple aspect of "it's a buck?"

[InsaneDavid]

is it the simple aspect of "it's a buck?"

Yup, was the way I got through low value duplicate stuff when I would sell at the flea market. Back when my sisters were younger and there were a zillion little toys they no longer wanted I'd sell them either as a big bag for $10.00 or 25 cents each. All the money from that stuff would get chipped into a can that my uncle and myself (since we were the two that would go to the flea market) would split. After the end of the day there'd usually be about $60.00 in there on average.

[cyberfluxor]

"Oh, it's just a quarter! Go ahead and buy a dozen of these toys."

Of course anything under $1, if it's attractive then buy it unless it's a pile of dung. If you're attracted to that then you're either a gardener or very strange. Just about the only item I can find around here for $0.45 are 45's. How ironic?

I did a trade today from a kid at my school:

I traded him my loose copy of Road Rash 3D (PSOne) for his loose copy of Game Watch Gallery 2. I don't keep loose PSOne games, and I got a good GB game out of it.
