I hit a bunch of thrifts but didn't find all that much. Half of this stuff came from classic game stores.

Pocket Simon (with a screwed up red button) $1.99
Mattel plug-and-play classic sports device $1.99
Iron Storm for Saturn $24.99
Punisher, Raiden Trad for Genesis - $9.99
Devilish for Genesis - free (since I bought two other Genny games)
Klax for Genesis - $2.99
Taz in Escape From Mars for Game Gear - $1.99
Ms. Pac-Man for Genesis - $2.99
Time Gal for Sega CD - $19.99
Road Avenger for Sega CD- $14.99
Vay (disc only) for Sega CD - $9.99

The guy at FX Game Exchange had a bunch of 'less than popular' game console titles stored in the back room, and he printed the lists out. Turns out they had Vay. He said it was only $12.99 according to the computer, so he went back to get it for me. When he found it was just the disc only, he discounted it to $9.99. I really like that place, even with the stench of the Subway next door filling the store.

Today kind of sucked because I came across so many places that have closed their doors. I went outside my regular thrift area, and found that three of the restaurants I wanted to eat at had closed in the months since I hit Denton, TX. Even the Piggly Wiggly supermarkets there shut down, which is really sad. One of those old-timey grocery store chains that are on life support, caught in the wake of Wal-Mart.

Argh. Did you get this one at Movie Trading Company in Frisco? I've been waiting two weeks to get that one on the buy 2 get one free sale that starts today.....

[Swamperon]

A Gamestation near me had a copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga for £85, by the looks of it, CIB. I was tempted but didn't have the money to spare. In a few weeks I will, Do you think should I go back and get it or try to find a cheaper copy online?

Also, latest finds:

Shining Force III £34.99
Skies of Arcadia (DC) £14.99

Happy happy happy!

[RoyVegas]

From Monday:
Other interesting finds that I didn't buy:
* A TG-16 with AC Adapter and two pads

You didn't give this poor console a home?

[Deadman]

Had some fun today with a few different stores that are having Labor Day sales - Movie Trading Co. is Buy 2 Get 1 free, and Half Price Books is an additional 20% off this weekend only. I'll try to get some pics later and post em, but it's dinner time now.

[Kitsune Sniper]

You didn't give this poor console a home?

On my budget? They probably would've asked for $50 for this damn thing.

[NCN]

I also went to Half Price Books today. I didn't know about the 20% off sale until I got there.....

Criss Angel: Mindfreak Season One - $2.40
Viva La Bam Season One - $2.40
Three "The Magic School Bus" books for my Daughter - $.40 each
DDR Xtreme (sealed new; PS2) $7.80

I was happy to find the two seasons for such a low price. Love clearance. I was a huge fan of the Magic School Bus as a kid, so it seemed right to try to get my Daughter into them. As for DDR, I've always wanted a copy but I've never found one cheap. Today I bought my first DDR and played for the first time. Practice is in order....

Argh. Did you get this one at Movie Trading Company in Frisco? I've been waiting two weeks to get that one on the buy 2 get one free sale that starts today.....

Yep, sorry dude. I honestly didn't find anything else worth buying there, and so I decided to snap it up.

Speaking of 'Buy 2 Get One Free' sales, it seems that everybody's doing it at the moment. FX Game Exchange in McKinney is doing it, the Movie Trading Company locations are doing it (although I've already picked the local stores clean of anything I need for the collection, so I haven't bought much), and the Play N' Trade in Arlington is doing it. Although the Play N' Trade in Plano wasn't yesterday, since I guess they were waiting for the weekend.


All I bought today was a loose copy of James Pond Underwater Agent for the Genesis, $1.99. Big whoop.

I forgot to post it in the August finds, but I got some stuff last Saturday at garage sales that I forgot to post. Here is what I got:

Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario 3 Guidebook- 25 cents
Case for Hot Shots Golf 3 for PS2- 25 cents

and here is the big score....

An Atari 2600 with about 12 games all with instructional manuals and an official case to hold it all in. All for 10 bucks.

Since I am living with my grandparents now and don't have much space, I had to put it in storage until I move out and didn't get a list of the games. I do remember there being Ms. Pacman, Star Fox, Pitfall and several sports games.

[Deadman]

No problem, I was just giving you a hard time. The Plano P'N'T is doing the buy 2 get 1 free, but Rob doesn't really have any signage up. Any combination of PS1, PS2, Xbox, or Gamecube games are all B2G1. Now, this was a week or so ago, so it may have ended by now.

I guess I need to post a list of what I snagged at today's sales...gotta get on it...

Today I got

GP32 with 128MB smart media - $15

GP32 is a sweat handheld. The sound is pretty loud even in low volume. The only drawback is it doesn't feature backlight. I also feel the button is stiff when pressing.

Where on Earth did you find a GP32 in the wild?
