Cart-Only Toejam and Earl (Genesis) - $8

The front's pretty clean, has a bit of marker but nothing awful. the back is absolutely covered in video store stickers, but it's nothing a bit of goo gone and persistence won't fix.

(I thought the front had remnants of one of those crappy video store stickers that leave a film of crud when removed, but then I realized the yo-yo was just colored that way :P)

Well today I scored BIG. Bought a Philips CDI 220 with remote for $60 with some miscellaneous video game stuff.
The king of the lot was however a laptop that cost me $40 at a thrift store, a AVA Direct badged Clevo x7200 Gaming Laptop. No Ac Adapter but this thing still sells for well over $1000 used. This was my best day in over 5 years.

Sealed Halo 2 with the "Do Not Sell Before 11/09/04" sticker-$10 at the Alpine Valley swap meet.

Ha ha. I totally read this wrong and was trying to figure out what your bad memory could have been. Like you had an intense game of Warlords with your 3 best friends as a kid... it got too intense. Alliances were formed, the rift grew. In high school you were a Burnout while your former friends were Jocks. Now that one friend is a rich broker, married to the girl next door that you'd had a crush on since you were 8 and you live in your mom's basement.

Damn Warlords.

Also happy about my av switch from ebay. Its a joytech but $40 for 7 inputs and a much cleaner cable running made my day.
