A couple of Craigslist deals I got yesterday:

FF Chronicles, Chrono Cross and Breath of Fire 4 - $15
A crapload of PS1 games + a couple of gamecube games + some extras = Free!
Kingdom Hearts 2 = $2

The story behind the free stuff is that when I got to the person's house, they brought out a bag of PS1 games, almost all were disk only, but they all looked like crap. These discs were at the point of being coasters. So I convinced the person that even though I drove 45 minutes, I wasn't gonna buy the games. She then just said, "You can have them, I don't want them anymore." Then I thought about it though and remembered I had a friend who worked at Gamecrazy, he took in all of the non-sports titles and I ended up with $25 in credit which I used to buy Kingdom Hearts 2.

Great deal.

Wow. What kind of thrift store is that? Oh, and welcome to the boards and congrats on your first post

[Mewtwo]

A local one, LITERALLY 2-minute drive from my house. It's a rarity that they get games in at all, let alone anything like that.

I was spazzing out in the thrift store and the old ladies that were working there were telling me to calm down.

I've gotten other decent deals from them (Super Mario Kart for $4), but obviously all those games came from one donator (probably someone cleaning out their kids' closet when they were off at college or something, I dunno.)

...and yes, I signed up here just to post this.

Last week picked up boxed Colecovision (only missing power adapter) at Goodwill for $13.99.

Yesterday found cart only of Bubble Bobble Part 2 (NES) for $1 at local thrift store. Really really happy with that find.

[Rogmeister]

Picked up a pair of $14.88 games at Wal-Mart today...

WWE: Day of Reckoning
Kao the Kangaroo: Round 2

Both are GameCube titles. I'll have to check the Kao game quickly...it didn't have it's wrapping. I checked the disc and it seems to be scratch-free.

Paid $20 for the following

PS1:
Ogre Battle (sadly, just disc and case but only $4)

N64:
Buck Bumble
Chameleon Twist 2

Super Smash Bros.

[Rogmeister]

Since I posted the above, I went to another store and bought another pair of GameCube games...

Viewtiful Joe
X-Men: Legends

My GameCube library has now caught up to my Xbox library in size. Actually, I should have one more GC game which I can't count right now because I've misplaced it. Once I find it, it will be added to my official GC count.

Passed on my find of the day, local Antique Mall had a booth with 56 Sega Genesis Sports titles all boxed, Genesis 2 system in rough box w/2 off brand 6 button controllers, 2 wireless off brand controllers boxed. I just with the games were something other than common sports games. I would have done some haggling on the prices.

[rcgamer]

Not really finds but I got in my sega cdx from ebay and it was in fantastic condtion, I spent way to much onit. It came with a master system with gun and around 40 games total. All for the low low price of $150 shipped lol.

Also got in some SNES games Donkey Kong Country 2, Super Metroid, Legend of Gaia, Earthworm jim 2 and one N64 game clayfighter 63 1/3. All for $30 shipped. Not being to smart with my money but sometimes you just want something.

FINALLY! I found a DS Lite today! After I decided to take the step up from my SP NOBODY had the damn things! It was my day off today and after calling god knows how many places and getting the usual nope, no , had a few yesterday and sold out. etc. etc. I finally had a yes answer at Target! It was also the color I was wanting too! They kindly held it for me till I was able to get there. I picked that up along with the new Mario Bros.



Then, Metroid pinball and Castlevania only cost me $10 (after tax) for both (new) via a Best Buy Gift card that I hadn't used yet from Christmas. They didn't have FF III
