Finally won a decent auction, I was determined to have it. Paid $.03 over the guide price. I keep telling people, I'm hardcore about Turbo stuff.

I am pretty sure that these were new since they were double sided disks with no marks of any kind on them. I have never seen used disks that look this nice. Either way, I am happy with the deal.

I used to work at FYE. Unlike Gamestop, their trade-in policy precludes them from taking in any games/CD/DVDs with scratches on them. Their prices are high for the used stuff, but it ends up coming out pristine when you open them back up.

One single game, $2.87 at a local thrift. Acme All Stars for Genesis, CIB. I passed on Shaq Fu and NBA Jam at the same price....

[Jimmy Yakapucci]

Okay. It was just that I thought it impossible to load 4 double sided disks into an overlapping multi-case without at least leaving a fingerprint or smudge. I guess FYE gives their used stuff the "white glove" treatment.

[RadiantSvgun]

Metal Saga ps2 14.99 new.

[DragonMaster Sam]

I've always been thinking of going to that, how are the prices/selection?

Good on both. If they don't have a game you're looking for on the floor, they might have it somewhere in the back. And, there's always good deals there, like 40% off PS2 games or something like that. And the guys at the register are always around for a good laugh.

My dad stopped at a local collectibles store, and picked me up 3 nice games for $15:

SNES Porky Pig's Haunted Holiday (Boxed)
SNES WWF Raw (Boxed)
NES Startropics (Complete)

I'm happy with the find, as the copy of Startropics is basically mint and doesn't even look like it was played. Gonna have to try Porky Pig, as it looks like it could be a decent game.

Monster House for gba finally took that final clearance drop to $3.74 at my local target so I picked that up this morning.

[gamegirl79]

I went to a couple Gamestops yesterday that I don't normally go to and picked up:

Xbox - Futurama
PS2 - Rule of Rose
Persona 3 strategy guide (sealed)

The games are complete and in great shape. This is the first time I've found Futurama in the wild.
