Screw it, I pick up a lot of stuff so I may as well start documenting it


1 - Picked these up at acidjaguar's place for a great price




2 - Garage sale, $1 each




3 - Thrift store, $1 each




4 - Good Will, total of $13 or so.  Its two Dual Shock 2s, a memory card, some AV cables, and an NES coaxial

Walked into a reseller and halfway down the ranks of SNES games I noticed the Imperium.  So I carefully bs'ed him over a handful of other games, checking label conditions and such, and then had him ring it and 2 other titles up.  More titles = less attention on the gem and less chance they're going to get wise at the last chance.  Spending $15 on Speed Racer is completely worth it when it can be diversionary too.

The 3 DS games were $30, and are all like new.  Not a bad score there either

Not a bad pick up sir. FF Theathrhythm definitely has it's own charm, I like it for what it is.

Top 4 are from bubbasizer's store.  Pretty happy with that, as getting sports games for SNES for under $5 each is actually turning into a bit of a chase itself.  The DKL games seemed like pretty good values too

Bottom 2 were online buys, that should be self-explanatory   .  Both had poorly worded listings that I took a chance on, and both paid off wonderfully




Got this lot from a pawn shop for $15.  Should be able to recoup some of that with Kingdom Hearts since that's a dupe.  Gotta love the PS2 scene

Prices?  Natsume was average.  War was slightly high, but I don't have the bandwidth to camp out eBay or Amazon for the one copy that is going to be posted each month (and probably scooped up right away).  Both were listed as acceptable when they are clearly in very good condition

Nothing special. $9.99 shipped with the cut box, manual, and dust cap.

Some harder to find SNES titles in there Brock! Good call on picking up the War title.

On another note, I'll double your investment on Epic Mickey 2 (if you even still have it and are willing to flip it), my daughter would love it!

Haha, I'm undecided right now.  I don't have a Wii, and those are the only games I have, but I think I would like to get a system for when my son is a few years older

Traded in some xbox stuff I got in a mystery box for the carts.  And grabbed the Dynasty Warriors because it was in great shape and only $5.  And the mouse and cleaning kit, and blu ray were good prices

But the big win was the Heroscape set for $4.50.  Just opened it up and its clearly never been played as stuff was still packaged inside.  That's going straight to the Bay.

Stuff from Hastings going out of business sale.  The games were 50% off the marked price and marked as used, but they're all sealed new

$25 spent in the honeypots in my hometown.  The two GBA games are SMB3 and Super Mario World

Games were 90% off at Hastings, so I got these 3 for $4, $1, and $.80.  HS and James Noir are both new but were marked as used.  The movies were the last of the boutique titles left

Well I know Devil Survivor 2 was already gone as of a week ago, so I had waited too long on that one. Missoula had one, but seemed to be crushed and faded (seriously, most of the games on the top row were damaged, so annoying)

Did you get the Mario Golf? That is what I was looking for, guess I waited too long on that one too.

No Mario Golf. They did have a first version RE: Revelations misprint one that sat forever and ended up grabbing that. Just need a manual now. I ended up snatching up most of the DS/3DS stuff marked *used* (brand new)

Nothing too exciting this weekend, but I did do a number of flips to get all of this for a decent amount under market value.  The DS cases are empty

Scored a very rare complete GameCube game for peanuts today.   I'll get a pic with whatever else I come across when I get back home on Monday.  Always the greatest feeling.

Hauls from over the weekend while away on vacation.  Overall I think I spent about $70

Highlights
- Go Go Hypergrind, obviously.  Complete, and looking pretty good, just need to clean up sticker residue
- Doomsday Warrior and Mohawk and Headphone Jack, both for a decent chunk under the going rate.  These two are pretty tough to come across
- Jammit.  This damn game has slipped through my fingers so any times and I finally pinned it down, for $1 no less.  Nearly all of the carts were $1, which for a Montanan is really damn good.  Its impossible find titles locally, and if you do they are a minimum of $8-10 usually.  Even eBay has dried up for rock bottom priced games.
- Dixit for $1.  Like-new.  Its supposed to be really fun, but I never wanted to pay the going rate
- Scream and Shout Factory blus, both new.  I already have Invasion USA so I'll probably eBay it or try to find someone to trade it to.  These were obviously from the Hastings liquidation, and I'm not sure how I didn't spot the Count Yorga myself.  There's also a Snow White deluxe DVD that I'll put up on the bay.
