[Pikkon]

Bought a GBA SP AGS 101 at my local Goodwill for 10 bucks,plus it came with mario kart,man the screen is so nice.The color was pearl blue plus the case was a bit beat up so I swapped the guts to my Nes GBA,now this is my number one for gba and gb games.

Today I wandered into town (in Mexico) to see if any of the local "dollar" stores still had copies of Supreme Commander available. They had some for months but I never picked one up - then one day they removed all the games, DVDs and CDs from the store that was closest to me. I decided to check one of their other stores which is about fifteen minutes away by bus, across town, and found a few CDs, and some cheapy DVDs.

However, I decided to walk into the pharmacy next door (which is owned by the same company). I found that copy of Hitler's Clone at another one of their stores... and found a few more DVDs.


The pack on the left contains six drug lord / Mexican gangster films and was released by Brentwood Entertainment in the US some six years ago. This thing was hidden away inside a shelf display that had other DVDs and CDs.
The pack on the right contains three random movies, two of which were of interest to me (the other one, not so much.)

Here's the awesome part - both of these sets were on discount. The one with six movies had a price of twenty pesos - about $1.66 USD. The second one? 54 pesos, about $4.50. However this one had different prices because they'd put the package on clearance. So I went to the register to pay and they only charged me 36 pesos for both - THREE DOLLARS.

Too bad that six pack has double sided DVDs. I freakin' HATE them.

Edit:
Well... looks like that six pack might not be a total bust after all.

That movie is more than worth it.

Ok.here’s my pick ups..

I won’t go into prices,all I can say is I paid less then I hope to sell the items for on ebay...I have so much to get to with not much time...I buy and sell to make money,It’s my job not a hobby..I am a stay at home dad with three kids,if I can’t make money off of something I don’t buy it nor can I afford to give things away or for what I paid for them...


My best find however was NES SNOW BROTHERS $3.00
This was purchased with other NES games but I sold them to a friend who came over before I could snap a picture.



It’s been crazy with family members losing houses in the storm,other family members taken to shelters,no power,no internet,fluctuating power,no gas...a mess of a town here..I spent a lot of time prepping for the storm after so much flood loss from last years storm..
I have NOTHING to complain about compared to what other people are going though..
Right now I need to catch up to daily life,fast..

[Kitsune Sniper]

First two CDs were $2, next two were $0.50 each, the rest (including the DVD) were $1 each. The DVD and the first two CDs are sealed. Small Soldiers is a promo version.

I picked up both Redneck Rampage games not because of the games (I already own them on GOG) but because of the soundtracks. Yes, the GOG version includes the soundtracks but they're crappy MP3s. These are CD audio.

Also bought American McGee's Alice for eBay, and an official PS1 S-Video cable for those PS1 decks I bought the other month.
