One of the last sales I stopped at today which was unadvertised, asked about games and they had an Xbox on the porch that they didn't put back out after carrying it back out of the way of the rain on Friday. I left as I wasen't particularly interested but I decided to go back and ask how much since I have been meaning to get a backup if it was cheap enough incase my only Xbox were to break. They said they were asking $5 which I wasen't going to argue!

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.

Not mine. They still want loads of money for age-old stickerless Pokemon carts.

Not mine. They still want loads of money for age-old stickerless Pokemon carts.

I'm pretty sure all GameStops have 75% off pre-GBA games. It may still have a rather high price for games listed (I think pokemon is like 10 to 12) but they should ring up at the discount price.

[garagesaleking!!]

ya its all of them but most are cleaned out.

Solve this then:

d/dx (e^x) =

I just started high school, When I went their (starting 7th grade) I was at a 4th grade math level, last year I won an award for math. However I have no Idea how to solve that problem

[NayusDante]

That problem has no definite solution, because it's not a problem. It's a formula. "d" usually means distance, and x is a variable, so the first part of it relies on the variable x and whatever constant d you're using. If I remember correctly, e^x is something constant, but I can't remember offhand how to use it.

Friday and Saturday Finds:



Stopped at a Goodwill on Friday, and picked up a PS2 Barbie Horse Adventures, a Death Note 2 DVD (sealed), and a Blu-Ray Talladega Nights - $3.99 each. Also got a Dreamcast Sega Rally 2 for $1.99.

Then stopped at a used game store and found 2 complete NES games – X-Men for $1.99 and Godzilla for $3.99.

Finally on Friday, got Xbox 360 Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe in the mail from Gamefly for $19.99.

This morning, hit another Goodwill and got an NES Control Deck boxed and still in baggies for $6.99.

And on my way home hit a rummage sale and saw a box marked PC and Playstation games 50 cents each! I went over and about shit! Right off the bat, I saw titles like Einhander, Elemental Gearbolt, Parasite Eve, RayStorm and other high-ticket games…but something looked funny. There was no NTSC logo on the spines, and they all turned out to be bootlegs from Asia. There was even a PSX boot disc in a DVD case. The lady said her boyfriend had picked them up overseas, and she probably shouldn’t even sell them. Fortunately, I kept on digging through the box, and at the bottom were 4 genuine titles, Including Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy VII. All complete and mint, for the princely sum of 50 cents each! That’s the 3rd FF VII I’ve picked up this summer for under 2 bucks!

And that same rummage had a bunch of coffee table books for a buck each, including a like-new 50 year Playboy retrospective…I got it for the articles.

he may refer to a derivative equation, the solution should be : x[e^(x-1)]. But for derivative you use dy/dx not d/dx .... so i got a little confused about that, if you need to simplify that equation or reach a limit, is quite easy.

[bigred5687]

I just picked up an atari 800 XL with 6 games and they are:
Asteroids
Star Raiders
Pac-man
Donkey Kong
Basic Computer Language
Centipede

It wasn't any where in the Rarity Guide and was wondering how much it is worth also has the atari 410 with it.

[Porksta]

Went shopping today:

Nox (PC) - totally psyched about this, as I bought everything but the game at a thrift about a year ago. it was so heavy I figured the game would be in there. Nope. But now it is complete!

Secret of Monkey Island (PC)

Kingdom Hearts II (PS2)

I just started high school, When I went their (starting 7th grade) I was at a 4th grade math level, last year I won an award for math. However I have no Idea how to solve that problem

I was just joking around with you. It's a little Calculus joke. I did advanced math through my high school years (not trying to brag, cause I just graduated) and the last math class I did was calculus. And it was incredibly confusing and hard in my opinion.

d/dx (e^x) means the derivative of e to the x power. The derivative of e to the x power is always e to the x power. ( d/dx (e^x) = e^x)

Impress your friends, teachers, and etc. with your newfound knowledge!

he may refer to a derivative equation, the solution should be : x(e). But for derivative you use dy/dx not d/dx .... so i got a little confused about that, if you need to simplify that equation or reach a limit, is quite easy.

He is right.... I couldn't completely remember how to type out "derivative of e to the x" so I looked at this site:
http://math2.org/math/derivatives/more/e%5Ex.htm

(It's been about 6 months since I last did some calculus stuff and it doesn't exactly stick in the memory very well.)

Not a game, but I did pick up the Final Fantasy Master Creatures figure of Bahamut from Five Below for $5. I had never seen these figures before, but it looked cool so I grabbed one. They had some of the others in the set so if anyone is interested, check out your local Five Below.

Went to Goodwill and a smaller thrift shop today, didn't find much...

A Windows 95/DOS game disk, called "Battles on Distant Planets". Never heard of it, and a search turns up nothing. It was marked $0.50, and I got it for half off.

Went to a smaller thrift, and found a box full of empty 3.5' diskettes. Around 31 of them for $3, plus an LS-120 diskette, which I've never seen before. The normal ones are being used for copying Apple II programs.

[Kitsune Sniper]

Today's finds:
Monty Python's Flying Circus DVD sets 3 + 4
Microsoft Works Suite 2002 (used)
$5 total

Drip Pop (PS1) - $3

And on Thursday I picked up a complete copy of DOS 6.22 Upgrade, Adobe InDesign CS Upgrade (with an InDesign 2 set), and a bunch of CDs for $3.25 total. I didn't need the DOS package, but I needed the manual for reference.

I find it slighly disturbing and a bit humourous that you have the barbie game right next to the giant playboy book :-)

Solve this then:

d/dx (e^x) =

Or solve this:

Xn + Yn = Zn, where n represents 3, 4, 5,

[ScourDX]

I just picked up Forza 2 Limited Edition for $20. From what I understand it wasn't release in US and only in Canada.
