75% off is good, we do 50% off at my store, but i think im gonna have them change that. also it goes by a thing called EOL (end of life) and it varies by store. did they have any other copies of eat lead or last rem?

Eh, today at sales:
I got a big plastic tub of misc 80s gaming stuff for $15 at a sale.
I'll post a pic if you guys really want to see it but it was 6ish NES games including Metal Gear & Castlevania II in a black fake leather stuff case and the rest of the tub was C64 stuff. There was a modem, printer, floppy drive, cassette drive, and what must be 50 discs. Most of the discs have no writing or identification on their labels, but I noticed that The Movie Monster Game, Mail Order Monster, some adventure building kit thingy, Synth Sound 64, and several other games were mixed in.
The C64 is really filthy. Eh, this is the bad part. The computer itself was in the original box but it was so dog chewed up that I trashed it (the box, that is). The rest of the stuff is just dusty/dirty and smells funny, both of which I didn't notice when I bought it.
I'm a big fan of chiptunes and I got it just for the purpose of using it's musical capabilities. Saying that all of this C64 stuff need TLC is an understatement. Well, anything to keep it from the trash.
How I got it all: I asked the lady running the sale if she had any old video games "like Atari or something". She said she had an Atari and to come back later. Well, I came back later and Suprise! It's a nasty old C64! Yay!

Fat (Broken) PS2 With 1st Party Memory Card & A Wired Guitar Hero Guitar - $5
Told me this was broken, was asking $15 but took my offer of $5.
Black GameCube with Hook Ups, GameBoy Player, 1st Party Controller & Madden 2006 In The System - $5
Went to this sale late (about 12:30) after I was done yardsaling since I was passing by, I would have went earlier but it wasen't on my list since they just started advertising on Friday. I do my route list up the day before so I would have everything from the Thursday paper on my route. $5 was the IAP.
Cool find on the C64 stuff even if it's seen better days, I remember playing Mail Order Monster a long long time ago. If you have more retail C64 games in the lot you haven't sorted out yet you'll have to take a picture of them or at least post again and list them
I used to have a C64 and a ton of games (I'd guess 50-100) and unfornately I'm pretty sure it all got thrown out shortly after I got an NES/SMS and didn't use it much. I had deja vu when I read Mail Order Monster and have fond memories of many games I can't remember the names of since I was so young, I do remember Below The Root & Alice In Wonderland (both being 2 of my favorites) and Forbidden Forrest.
I just got another C64 a few years back for $5 from my one friend. It belonged to his mom's boyfriend and he passed away so I always joke that someboday had to die in order for me to find another C64.

i had to go back. So i had dinner and off I went. In total I had gotten 68 games and 1 game shark. Paid a little over $70 for everything. Im super happy with what I got. I only got a few doubles as you can see in the pic. Those are available for trade.
Highlights include:
Harvest Moon 1
Harvest Moon 2
Final Fantasy Adventure
Final Fantasy Legends III
Bust A Move
Dragon Warrior
Mega Man
and a ton more
hellfire - You probably pay more than what the macbook is worth to go to that school...
lostdwarf - Nice! I'm surprised Gamestop still had GBC games. The ones around here got cleaned out a long time ago. It'll be great when XBOX goes 75% off, then GBA will probably be after that.
I personally need Mega Man IV and Xtreme, shoot me a PM if you'd be willing to sell them. My GameStops ran out of GB stuff a while ago, and they never had anything good anyway.
ya, holy crap, what freakin gamestop was hiding all those gems.
Autobots. Roll out.
Every gamestop near me moved out all their pre-advance GB stuff for 70% off. I bought everything I could find from all the stores near me, kept what I needed for my collection, and traded the rest.
Probably 5x more at least. There ain't no such thing as a free lunch, as a wise man once said.
