December 2006 Finds

[Xexyz]

Been quite some time since the forums were last up. A lot of this stuff is from November.

All the stuff below is from the 3 for $10 deal at Game Crazy last month:



Looks like I got a JPN release Pipe Dream and a CHN (bootleg?) release BurgerTime Deluxe. Anyone know if that's a bootleg cart or if it's legit?

All this stuff is from last weekend:



- Finally found a copy of CCC2 at Best Buy for $19.99 after two weeks of no luck.

- Gungrave Overdose was $9.99 new at an EB I don't frequently visit.

- Strider (Genesis, complete), Psycho Fox (SMS, complete), and Blaster Master: Blasting Again (PS1, complete) all came from a local game store. Strider and Psycho Fox were $3.99 each and Blaster Master was $4.99.

Psycho Fox puts me up to 15 SMS games and still no system :P

Not anything too impressive as of late, as I have been more into selling than buying this time of year.
But just the other day I won a Pokemon Stadium cart with manual for $1.25 + $3.95 shipping, making a total of $5.20 shipped. Here is a link to the item:

I got a trio of PS2 games today from Amazon.com. The three cost a combined total of about $45. Not bad...they're all in "Greatest Hits" packaging, though. That doesn't bother me though I know others don't like it. The games:

God Of War
Jak 3
Rachet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal

[nik]

Picked up:

Dark Wizard game + manual up for grabs
Phantasy Star IV manual up for grabs
Rise of the dragon complete up for grabs.

I've already got all these, maybe someone else needs em!

Any chance you'd sell that Parappa the Rapper 2?

Sure..

But is it really worth it..they are like $9.00 shipped on Ebay..

I found zelda link's awakening for the original gameboy including box and manual for 10$.



Dunno if it's a good deal but I only had the cartridge for this game and i like my games complete :P I have it twice now though..

Found a TurboGrafx-16 with card-only Bonk 3 and a few others at a thrift store for $20. On the way home I stopped by a GameStop and found a Metroid: Zero Mission "Not-For-Resale" store demo cartridge for $6.99.

It's been awhile since I posted my finds.

Game Boy Micro (Famicom edition!) - $40 on Black friday at Walmart (They had a buggy full of micros for $40 each, But I could only buy one with the HDTV I got)

32" LCD HDTV - $600 on black friday, At walmart (I saved like $200 or $300 buying this, But I'm not going to use it until x-mas... Well, maybe i'll test it to see if it works )

Sneak King - $4 at Burger King

Also my dad bought a load of VHS movies from the local rental store, 3 for $5. I think he got $100 worth.

Today I got Wing Commander IV complete, with Wing Commander II Deluxe (CD only) inside - $3. The guy said $2, but then he noticed it had six CDs inside so he wanted to charge me $5, but I refused to pay. Nyah. Funnily enough, I found Wing Commander III later that day!

I also got the CD for Heroes of Might and Magic II. I already had the box and manuals from a purchase I made four months ago, but the CD was the wrong one - it was some sort of expansion or something, heheh. That cost me $2. (Y(@#$@#)

So yeah. I've got to redo my sale thread. :P

Just got my Castlevania: PoR in the mail, good stuff. Only problem is the little box that holds the soundtrack, booklet, art book, stylist, and cartridge holder was bent on the sides from being crushed, but good thing it was all intact and in nice shape otherwise. I'm amazed the soundtrack came attached to the paper foldout with all the goodies instead in a slim jewel case, that's a bit disappointing.

At the pawn shop however someone must have sold a few games because some nifty titles came in. Upon what they had I decided on:
PS2:
Airforce Delta Strike
Return to Castle Woflenstein: Operation Resurrection

$3 each, nice condition, minor scratches on discs and with manuals.

Well, today was Wii launchday in Europe. A friend of mine and I tried it at two different shops, the first one only had 16 and the last ones were snatched away right in front of us. The second one two, but not on display, you had to ask. And there were exactly two guys before us, so we went home empty-handed. However I got the last Zelda they had at the first store, not that I can do anything with it now :/

[Sailorneorune]

I think the Panzer Dragoon Saga trade ate all of my good karma... congrats to those who were able to get a Wii or Castlevania PoR and not get screwed.
