Thrift store finds I picked up over the course of several days last week; I paid about $30 in total. Both FIFA 12 & Genesis Collection are sealed. I'm pretty happy to find the McCree Collection, that was one of those uncommon games I wanted but didn't want to spent any real amount of money to buy it.

Got two pieces I've been waiting for for quite some time now. I saw this guy's Logic sculpture thru Instagram, and then found out he was doing a hip hop collection; he also sculpts other series and commissions for custom pieces. If anyone uses social media (I don't know if he'll have the same handle on other sites other than IG), but his name is Claynext. Very nice guy, very professional.

I did find a copy of Brigandine today at a thrift store. The map and front artwork have a few issues but at least they (and the manual) are there.

Neat item!  

The door is not usually part of it and the hinges are almost guarabteed to be broken. It is a shame they are so fragile.

Guy at work was selling his friend's old PS1 stuff for $35, so I scooped it up. Only dissapointment was the MGS case (not pictured) was missing the discs.

Got this sealed set in the mail today. Saw a NA post an auction site spotlight thread about it being up on his eBay, and I ended up winning it.

I'm not sure if this qualifies as a small score, but recently while poking around Steam on my PC I pulled up my inventory of old Team Fortress 2 items (hats, weapons, etc). Turns out a few of the items I got for pre-ordering video games years ago are worth a non-trivial amount of money. I haven't played TF2 in years, so no reason for me to keep imaginary hats, etc if people want to give me real cash for them.

I put the items worth more than a $1 on Steam's marketplace on Tuesday and netted myself $60 by Wednesday morning, just in time for the Steam Autumn sale. Yay for free money!

Almost didn't bother thrifting after work because of Black Friday, but I'm glad I did. I arrived at my local Savers to be the first to grab the games below off the shelves. I haven't had a real NES/SNES thrift store score in a long while, so it felt great to beat the competition this time. I paid about $80 for the lot, not too shabby IMO.
