There's a pawnshop that opened fairly recently near me and I've been visiting every week or so checking out the games. All games are listed at $8, but the guy deals.
A month ago my uncle was able to get Need For Speed Most Wanted Black for PS2 for $8.
Wednesday, I noticed the Zelda Collector's Edition case and asked to see it. The guy says, "It says promotional disc on it so I don't know what it is." I check and it's complete and the disc is like new. While I'm still checking it out, he picks up a copy of Windwaker and says, "This is the one I'm playing, but I don't think it's like this." I said, "Yeah I think it's older Zelda games. Could you give me a deal on this and Windwaker?" I expected him to say $15, but he said $10 for both. I quickly agreed and couldn't get the cash out fast enough. When I got home, I discovered Windwaker is also complete and like new.
So for a total of $18 my uncle and I have:
Zelda Collector's Edition GC
Need For Speed Most Wanted Black PS2
Zelda Windwaker GC

Windwaker is the balls.

Don't listen to him, Windwaker was a pretty fun game. The sailing can get tedious and boring at times, but I throughly enjoyed my time playing this game.

My local pawnshop is really smart. They would never sell games below the average eBay prices... :(

Nice work OP!

I think my pawnshop caught on to ebay-- they marked Wu-Tang Shaolin for the PS1 up to $9 and haven't had a non-sports NES or SNes game in about a month.

I'm pretty sure it's because this guy, my arch nemesis, went in and cut a deal with them. I saw him with a ton of game stuff one day, along with a notebook, writing everything down and chatting a whole lot with the cashier about the prices. I asked him if he was an ebayer and he snapped at me in some other language. Fucking dumbass ruined a good thing!
