Going on a road trip tomorrow to find some stuff, so hopefully I do.
Lunar Silver Star Story Complete...2 Disc's ...$1.07 Value Center
Another neighborhood sale. Pretty far away, but I think it turned out to be worth it.
x-files is new, $1
PS2 DVD remotes, $1. I was holding one when I asked the price. She asked what I wanted to pay; didn't particularly want it, so said $1. 'Sure'. Then I indicated the other and asked if there was more PS2 stuff. Nothing else, but she said to take the other one, too.
Risk was $4, marked 5. (passed on PS1 Civ II (disc doctored) and Planet of the Apes (can you believe it?))
Castlevania was also $4. This is a sale that they have every year and is pretty 'commercial'. New toys and other products for sale. I hate these types of sales. This game was actually there last year and I passed on it. Almost passed again.
Got this for $50...
Oh, and these were at the same sale and included in that purchase price! Xenosaga is new.
I actually have no idea what they add up to as marked, since i handed the stack to them to set aside while I chased after my son and looked some more. When I got back they had it tallied, though I asked if they gave a bulk discount. He said they added to 53 or maybe 58? and they sold it all for 50. There were several people clustered around these games flipping through them (and some DVDs). I was holding my breath waiting my turn, but amazingly none of those people took any! Can't believe these were still there considering the traffic (literally jammed in some places) and that it was maybe 9.30.
This last isn't game related, but I thought it was pretty nice. I have better printers, but one uses the same ink. Marked 30 for all but he took 25. He said there must be about $70 in ink, but it is more like 160+. Heck, the cartridges empty would be $42 in credit at OfficeMax (assuming there are 2 in the printer, haven't checked).
edit: Holy canoli! I hadn't really paid attention to the marked prices on those PS2/GC games, nor I guess had I thought about how good a deal it was. As marked they added up to $53 (couple were 7, then 4 or 3). The GC and all was marked $25. Oh, and they are all in excellent shape and complete w/ inserts except BGAII, which is missing the manual.

Nice, but is it complete? er... waitaminute...
I wouldn't pass up Lunar InComplete for $1.07, as long as the actual game is there.
...is it?
The game is called Lunar Silver Star Story Complete, and no its not 'complete'.
Yes. It's got the game discs, but its missing the soundtrack, bonus disc and the rest of the goodies.
Because it makes no attempt to be great, it is therefore extremely great.

Guess I was too subtle. That has always just been an odd title to me, and so I decided to have a little fun with words.
Finally bothered to take a pic, giving the phone cam some love.
Well the game was originally released on Sega CD and called Lunar Silver Star Story. This was the 'penultimate' version with some extra stuff and thus it was the 'complete' version. How Vic justified it getting released on the PlayStation i'd guess, because it was so much better than that cruddy Sega CD version **eye roll**.

nice find on the gamecube stuff and dark alliance cornelius.
Autobots. Roll out.
Err, not to nitpick, but wasn't the Sega CD version simply "Lunar: The Silver Star"? Then, of course, there WAS a Lunar: Silver Star Story that came out in Japan on the Saturn... I think I used to own it as I got it in a Japanese Saturn lot many years ago...
...so, I think Lunar: Silver Star Story COMPLETE was the "definitive" version of the one that came out on the Saturn, right?
I shouldn't know these things...
I can't wait to get Lunar: Silver Star More Completey-er Edition two console generations from now.
It will include ten discs that include every possible related video clip for Lunar, including footage of Zach Meston eating a sandwich at his desk at Working Designs, and a video review licensed from someone off of Youtube. It will also include Large, XL and XXL t-shirts, because, well.... let's be honest here, there aren't a lot of small people buying this series. Also included will be a detailed strategy guide on opening the package that you can only read after opening the package.
I don't like you.
Now on a related note, I'm just pretty sure that the Saturn and PS1 versions are nearly identical, but once again, are just elaborations of the Sega CD release. Just of course with fancier visuals and more fan service in the packaged goodies.
Not a bad day for me. It started off slow with just the cards, but I hit up some garage sales and ended up with the 64, and then swung by a couple goodiwills, got the GCN and Kiki. It's a VHS, but I've never seen it in English before, and it's the kirsten dunst version...since I love Kiki so much I watch it at least a couple times a week, and love Kirsten, I figure why not?
$5 Random box/binder of cards (pokemon, magic, some weird marvel ones that look awesome, etc)
$3 Nintendo DS case
$1 Game Boy Advance case/manpurse (seriously, why is this 3x the size of the DS one? >_<)
$12 Nintendo 64 + 8 games and 2 PERFECT controllers (Don't you hate when you end up with crappy analogs!?)
$11 Nintendo Gamecube with Digi out, no controller
$2 Kiki's Delivery Service
.25c Ryu Action figure (come on, could YOU pass him up??? HADOUKEN!)
What's the deal on Elmo's Letter Adventure? IIRC it's one of the hardest-to-find US N64 games, no? I'm guessing it's still not worth much, but oh well. Actually, now that I look at it, almost all the games are either "scarce" or "hot". Not bad, I say.
