April 2012 Finds

[Jimmy Yakapucci]

Um, you left CIB nice looking copies of DKC 1 & 2 and Super Mario Kart b/c they were $20?! Duuuude!!! Those are totally not gonna be there when you go back. Super Mario Kart is worth at least $20 cart only, for one.

Maybe on a good day. Besides, it's only a deal if you have the money in the first place.

Weekend Finds:



General Chaos $5
Pro Moves Soccer $3
Might & Magic III $8
Secret of the Stars $15
Capcom MVP Football $2
Mutant League Hockey $1

I have a couple other games with the same rental sticker that was once on Mutant League Hockey. Pretty neat, I might keep it even though its rough and a double.

Gamingwise, I bought Call of Duty 4 for the PC. Two bucks.

By the second "playable" level, I was already sick with the game. Jesus... people like this shit? I wasn't really doing anything, the other characters were killing off the enemies on their own.

If you play it on the hardest or even second hardest difficulty you don't have to worry about that because you will be the one that needs to do the majority of the killing. And while lots of people do indeed like the single player campaign part of COD games(myself included) the majority of fun comes from online multiplayer.

Yeah I hear ya there. XD

Beatmania DJ Controller $3
Crash Team Racing $4 Metal Gear Solid $5 Metal Gear Acid $3


NES games $2 each, Batman, Platoon, Megaman 4 (my personal favorite of the first 6), & Kid Kool

[Kitsune Sniper]

I found a bunch of games that I've already put up on eBay, but here's the stuff I'm keeping.


Ebola Syndrome (on two VCDs) - $1
Radio / Just Like That (CD, new, bought it for the cover art alone) - $1
Arma Letal 5 (VHS) - $1

... I should probably explain why I picked up that movie. So, you guys have probably heard about these four films.



Well, parts 1 through 4 were released in Latin America under the name "Arma Mortal" - which means "Deadly weapon".

Well, you want to know the direct translation for "Lethal Weapon"? "Arma letal". The producers of this film made it so the title is confusing enough for people to think it's an indirect sequel by seeing the name at a glance, but it's obvious that the movie has nothing to do with the four US ones. Of course the main character's name being "Maclovio Gibson" doesn't help matters much...

Just brought this a few hours ago at my local goodwill:



-The Lord of the Rings Trilogy Extended Edition for Blu-ray (Brand New and sealed) for $5.99

I have never seen these movies nor read the books before but I have heard a lot of wonderful things about them over the years and developed some interest in the series. Can't wait to finally watch them this upcoming weekend after my finals are done tomorrow <3

[theclaw]

I see $400 here...

[theclaw]

Oh. Did I come up with something unusual?

[understatement]

It's an awesome lot for $28 but I don't see this unless that's one bad ass purple basket.

Maybe the basket was suppose to be red and thats the super rare purple collectors edition made from the tears of dead unicorns.

[BetaWolf47]

NES games $2 each, Batman, Platoon, Megaman 4 (my personal favorite of the first 6), & Kid Kool

Yay, another person who likes 4 the best!

[InsaneDavid]

Yay, another person who likes 4 the best!

As long as we all agree that Platoon is one of the worst NES games ever made.

Around here (where I live) those GBA SPs get about $50 each for common colors, Chrono Trigger and SNES 2s are about 60 each around here and the Marios are 10-30 here. I didn't relize that the SNES 2 had fallen that much since I last checked.

[theclaw]

I'm unlikely to keep the Marios. Already got All Stars + World.
This specific Star Wars game I don't care much about either way.

GBA SPs, I guess depend if I want to get back into Pokemon addiction. Few other uses I'd have for multiple.

SNES 2 is due for more research. The potential video quality improvement, and check whether no eject button is too bad an annoyance.

Every place has their own market value on here I usually go with Ebay prices or what things would sell for on the boards and I see about $130~$170 damn good for $28.

Around here GBA SPs go for $30 with a charger (or at least that’s what all the vendors ask for, doesn’t looks like they sell many of them) and loose they're hard to sell for $20. Looks like they go for about that or a little more on ebay I’ll have to look into offing my extras now.

I can see Chrono Trigger peaking at $30 but the label damage really hurts it, there are to many good label copies going on ebay for $40~$50 to get much more than that (around here you could push $40 though)

If you do this I have the perfect Craigslist ad for you.
