    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.

    Four Resident Evil books $2.64
    Live Flesh vhs $1
    Michael Jackson: Dangerous cd 50 cents

    I picked up the Resident Evil books and vhs movie(which was horrible by the way) at a thrift store. I now have the first 6 or 7 RE books. If only I had time to read them. The MJ cd was my loan find at a flea market last week.



    Stranglehold collectors edition(360) $4
    Farcry Instincts: Predator(360) $4
    Splinter Cell: Double Agent collector's edition(360) $4
    WEW Vol. 1-4 dvd $2
    Dead Rising: Off The Record(360) $20
    How To Win At Nintendo Games #3 50 cents
    Final Fantasy 7(PS1) $3
    Rocky IV cd $2
    Marvel complete 180 trading card series $2

    Believe it or not Farcry and the collectors edition games were found at Goodwill in like new condition. They must have just put them out that morning. I passed on the other sports games they had....because they were sports games. I found FFVII at another Goodwill. I remember when this game was worth some money but now it seems to have all but died as far as resale value goes. The Nintendo book, Rocky cd and Marvel card series were all from a flea market. And I picked up Dead Rising because somebody I know loves zombi games so now I can play with them.



    Alan Wake strategy guide sealed $2
    Dragon Quest IX strategy guide $2
    Mass Effect 2 strategy guide sealed $2
    Stack of Hentai dvds $6
    Game Players Game Tape sealed $5
    Halo 4 limited edition(360) $25
    Halo 4 poster free from preorder

    I was at a flea market over the weakend. At one table a dude was selling games but they were all overpriced. Then he had a stack of strategy guides that he obviously acquired from Best Buy when they were pennied out. But for a dollar each I was glad to take them off his hands. One of the Hentai dvds(strategically covered) was mixed in with a bunch of regular $1 dvds and when I went to buy it he pulled out a bunch of others he had hidden behind his table. I took most of what he had and will probably upload them on Amazon since they seem to do better there than ebay. The Game Players tape was a nice surprise, especially since it covers TMNT and Skate Or Die, two of my favorite Nes games back then.

    And then theres my greatest find of all this week: Halo 4. I used $55 in Best Buy certificates(accumilated from buying other games there) and a $20 gift card to purchase the $100 limited edition for a mere $25. And the poster was a preorder bonus. I put some good campaign time into the game yesterday and tonight I plan on busting the online multiplayer wide open. This is my big game for the holiday season and I will easily be playing this online for the next 3+ years.

    Been dry lately, but today found:

    Narc (xbox) - $1 complete
    Blazblue Calamity Trigger - Bonus DVD in case only - $3
    An Evening with Kevin Smith 2 - DVD set - $1

    All on clearance at Half Price Books.

    BONUS! Upon opening the DVD case for the Calamity Trigger Bonus Disc, I found there are 3 discs on the spindle - a "Bonus Disc" and two different "Soundtrack" discs. No markings as to where this is from, but it must be from an Xbox 360 boxed set, as the DVD case is too big for a PS3 boxed set.

    Stopped at the local pawn shop and found...



    all for 3 bucks a piece. All complete, PTO even has the map with it and is apparently at least uncommon? Regardless they are all in great condition and I'm happy as a clam.

    Looking at the completed auctions on the first two pages only a couple went for $50 with the majority going for $20-$30. Some even went as low as $10. $20-$30 isn't bad, it's just a far cry from the values it use to command a few years ago.

    You know when you wake up and just have a feeling about something? Well, I was sitting here in my office and I realized that I "need" to go to the thrift store during lunch today. It's like something is calling me. Very strange but exciting. I will obviously edit this post in a couple of hours after I get out and go have a look.

    *** FOLLOW UP ***

    So, I'm thinking I misread that signal, kind of. I got a great online score that I will post when it arrives, so maybe that was the great deal because I ended up getting so busy at work that I didn't go to lunch at all and I'm heading home now to get the kids from school. So no thrift store.... sad but true...

    It might have just been gas. On a more serious and somewhat related note, while coming home from a job yesterday I had the choice to go directly home or stop by a thrift store that I only get to visit on Mondays. I was hungry and wanted to go home but I stopped there anyway. I ended up finding a bunch of cheap Gamecube games and the last Shades of Grey novel I needed. I will post pics on the weekend when I add everything from my yard sale and flea market finds(if there are any).

    I found a bunch of used computer tapes: 10 Dell Ultrium 2 LTO 200/400 GB tapes and 10 Sony SDX1-35C 35/91 GB tapes. They cost me fifteen bucks, but I can resell them all. Not sure how much profit I can get.

    Those tapes can be all over the place. I had some I thought I was going to make a ton on, but just did okay because they were slightly different.

    I did great at the thrift today!



    4 of the games were 2.99, 2 were 4.99, and Cloud Master was 3.99. All are in fantastic CIB shape except Cloud Master is missing the manual. A couple people must have dumped their collections. There were a bunch of nice, good disc games in addition to the ones I got; stuff like Xbox Riddick and DoA3, GC Viewtiful, etc. And then there were 6 or 7 more SMS games that I already have. My only "complaint" is that these are so nice I'll have to compare them to my collection to choose wich ones to keep! The controller was 2.99 and the Lego game was 8.98 and will be lots of fun with my son.

    I listed the 35 GB tapes for $70 with offers. It sold ten minutes later at full price. D: The others haven't sold yet.

    From the local pawn shop, Pioneer CLD-1080 series laserdisc player with 6 month warranty for 30 bucks. Woohoo! I've had terrible luck with my last 2 laserdisc players I found dying on me shortly thereafter but this baby has the six month warranty so I am rather happy to have found it. It was labeled as a cd player.

    I was hitting up a local game store that deals in very little retro stuff beyond the new famiclone console things and a very few used games. But I snagged this:

    I know it's not the greatest pricing. But I saved between 5 and 10 bucks (after counting eBay shipping) on ActRaiser. But the Kirby's Dream Course is complete, cart is in great shape. Manual is in okay shape. Also very excited because it's a non-sports title found for a bargain, complete, in the wild.

    Nice Pick Ups..

    I had a choice today,go to the big flea market as I hear they had a huge turnout compared to last week,or go to a smaller town flea market..
    I decided on the big flea market that was a total waste..

    Two guys walking in front of me were looking for the same things I was looking for...

    The day of the Xbox 360 decks..and crazy high priced vendors..

    Today had to be one of the highest priced days of vendors for anything and anything,used empty candy wrapper $5.00..lol

    It seemed like someone gave each vendor a 360 deck or several as they were all over..I’ve never seen so many 360 decks in one day...Prices between $60.00 $100.00..one guy wanted $150.00 untested,

    busted seals,no face plates..none had cords,all just consoles......tested..Sure that all work..sure...
    I have a stack of 360 decks myself,I can’t give them away..

    Prices:
    PS2 systems..$40.00 Untested.........untested decks with no drawer plate $30.00
    Xbox systems $40-50.00...untested decks
    PS1 consoles $30.00..WHAT..

    The last item I ran into was a Genesis 3 mini system,with hook ups..no box,no games..I was sure this would be a $10.00 deal..guy wanted $40.00 for it..FIRM..

    I came home with nothing...but happy to come back to the van to see my daughter






    Got some parts in the mail for this..
