As soon as I can find another power cable, the extra Game Gear & Sonic 2 will be for sale.

Hey guys,

Man it has been a while since I posted anything. WOOT to lurking!

Anyhow, would you guys say $500 is a good deal for 300 assorted PS1,PS2,XBOX,N64,Sega games? I know it is kind of ambiguous because I don't even know what the games all are yet (a ton of N64 and Sega would be great), but I am just asking in general???

The guy said he will send me a full list soon, supposedly they all have original paperwork and boxes.

I am just hoping for no sports games :/

Sounds good to me, but I would definitly carefully look over the list.

Go-Go Hypergrind (complete) - $2.69 (possibly up for trade)
Megaman Anniversary Collection (complete) - $7.29

Here in Texas, I'm having the driest month that I can remember - and I'm not talking about the weather. The only deals I'm finding are here on DP or occasionally on ebay, with nothing of interest showing up at Thrifts or used stores. My favorite thrift (where I can usually find interesting scores) hasn't had anything except a Gameboy color console - and they marked it at $12.12. Too much for the condition for sure.

Bring on June....

I just recieved the Japanese version of Biohazard-Code: Veronica for the DC in the mail through eBay.
It is absolutely complete, and is the special edition version with the red slipcase.

The cost?

[garagesaleking!!]

lol, lol, lol, lol, I am in pittsburgh too as i assume you are icarwngs,

The guy with 300 games for $500 is such a scammer.

he sent me a full list and it was a load of ****

Not one good title, there were like 5 n64 games.

It is 99% sports and he has doubles and quads of like madden 96 and nhl 97.

he made it sound like his personal lifelong amazing collection. I was expecting Some really sweet games.

I cant believe he took the time to even list all those crappy games, lol.

[garagesaleking!!]

i almost forgot, at the local thrift store yesterday i Picked up 6 brand new official xbox controllers, for 2.00 each. They are xbox 1 not 360, but still an awesome deal and i needed a couple, i was really excited. There are 5 black and 1 blue. They were never used.

[DigitalSpace]

Got a couple things today:

PlayStation:
Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko (complete) - $2.50

PS2:
Ridge Racer V (complete) - $5

This is the first time in a while that I've come across a copy of Ridge Racer V that wasn't scratched to hell. In fact, the case, manual, and disc look almost brand new.

[icarwngs55]

HEY!! Yea I am!

I saw that pop up on Craigslist and I was the first to talk to him. BIG Scammer! I called him and talked and he told me that 75-85% of the sega games were NOT sports...So he emails me the list 99% Sports with many dups.

I like to hear fellow games are around! I am in grad school (med school) now, so I don't have anymore summers really no car and don't get to go to any yard sales or fleamarkets

That was the only joy in my life and now it is gone WHY!!

Went to K-mart and bought a few clearance titles:

MLB Power Pros (PS2) - $5
Underground Pool (DS) - $3
Monster Bomber (DS) - $3

so total came to $11.77 and I ended up paying with the only money I had on me (a $20 bill) and when I got home and checked my wallet it turned out the clerk gave me 2-$5 dollar bills and 3-$1 bills for the paper portion of my change. So I guess it all ended up costed my $6.77 instead of $11.77 since I got an extra $5 back with my change.
