July 2006 Finds

[BrokenFlight]

Stuff I've bought recently.

Hitman: Blood Money - £20 new. Gamestation Deal of the Week.

Medal of Honor: European Assault - £6 new from Amazon.

Silent Hill 3 - £9 used.
Max Payne - £3 used.
From a local game shop.

New Super Mario Brothers - £20 new.
GTA: Liberty City Stories - £10 new.
I got these two for £40 but used a free £5 Amazon voucher then got a £5 refund because a game I bought a month ago had come down in price.

The old games were £1 each, apart from Super Bomberman 2, which was £4. Rolo to the Rescue is the Genesis version (R6/$20).

I was in PCWorld buying some memory for my laptop and I noticed Resident Evil 4 for the PS2 was in the £5 bin. I should have bought it but I decided I had enough games for now. They also had destroy all humans for PS2 and Xbox in the £3 bin. I might go back tomorrow.

Some pretty awesome finds already for July everybody! Are a lot of you getting sales discounts from holidays or something because those are some below normal prices for a ton of those finds.

Cauterize:
You have a really nice haul there, and some decent prices. Quick question though:
Is your (p) currency GB pounds or fractions of a pound per 100? Asking because 75p per NES controller would be pretty steep unless it were 0.75P? Sorry for being American and never been to England, let alone Europe.

[Trumpman]

Even though I am not from England, I can explain this one. Before the 70s, England had a very confusing money system with schillings, pounds, pennies, pence, etc. Then they changed to a system like ours where 100 pence = 1 pound. Also, the lowercase p means pence, not pounds. There is a special pounds symbol that kind of looks like an L.

Therefore, Cauterize gets awesome deals!

[cyberfluxor]

Good good good. It was what I was thinking and just wanted to be sure because usually I see people posting 0.xx pounds or what have you, not the lowercase p.

[RetroYoungen]

No pictures (maybe I'll put some up in the blog later).

Stopped by the Goodwill Store in Vacaville today, picked up two Game Boy Pockets: Yellow (works properly, but a bunch of spots of what looks almost like dried gum on the back) and "Limited Edition" Ice Blue (in very nice condition).

Each one had a game in it (Star Wars and Legend of Zelda: LA).

Total cost? About four bucks. Four dollars per GBP and game, then 50% discount (I have no idea where it came from, but I shall complain not).

[Austin]

$1 each:

Link to the Past
Super Metroid
Gradius III
HARVEST MOON!

The first three I already have. The last I was stoked about.

Lemon Yellow Sony PSX Memory Card - loose, $5.00AU

[leorange]

gremlins, for the atari 5200-$2.99 at goodwill. whoop.

I was in PCWorld buying some memory for my laptop and I noticed Resident Evil 4 for the PS2 was in the £5 bin. I should have bought it but I decided I had enough games for now. They also had destroy all humans for PS2 and Xbox in the £3 bin. I might go back tomorrow.

I went back today and saw that the sign said "from £2.97" and "from £4.97". I took the games to the counter to check the price and they were actually £30 each. I couldn't really argue, seeing as the games had the full price stickers on them and the signs said "from". Still, it was a bit misleading.

Some pretty awesome finds already for July everybody! Are a lot of you getting sales discounts from holidays or something because those are some below normal prices for a ton of those finds.

Medal of Honor: European Assault was on special from Amazon.

They were doing a special offer before the World Cup where they gave you a £5 voucher if you spent more than £20 by the 5th of June. I bought Super Mario 64 DS for £23 to get the voucher. Then when I bought the next two games, I saw Mario 64 DS was £18, so I got £5 back.

Gamestation have a "deal of the week" each week where a certain new game is £20.

The old games were £1.99, buy one get one free. Gamestation usually always has a BOGOF on old games under £10.

[Cauterize]

Super Bomberman 2, which was £4

Best find ive seen all month! Congrats!


A few parcels arrived for me today... the contents?





(I sold a lot on ebay recently to get cash back into my bank account, but i thought id spend a tiny fraction of it on myself )

I've got a BUNCH to upload, but here's some to start:

Grail Time!

I got the most valuable Neo CD game, a quite minty Chotetsu Brikinger!



Here's 4 more games I picked up as well:



All games are complete with spine card (some of them just have them inside the case). The Zipang is sealed.



Again, all have spine cards... I now have all the Neo CD shooters except ASOII, and that's because I am waiting for a super-mint version to pop up. Plus, I refuse to buy online, only in the wild
