Dang, I thought $30 for Ninja Gaiden alone was a huge score...
Man, I wish the pawn shop owners around me were that clueless. Better hope they don't hear about this internet thing where you can just look up suitable prices on ebgames or ebay :lol:

If you want to talk that way with your friends, in private, go for it, but don't post that sort of thing on the web. Bad form.

Awesome finds! I don't even know of any pawn shops near me, except this "Yesterday Rose Thrift Shop". I doubt they sell any games, though... Their inventory seems to be composed of nothing but old clothes (the store is huge for a thrift shop, though).

Second.
The local pawn shops are pretty clueless when it comes to prices too. Nice find.

I am in thrift stores every couple of days, and there are deals to be found there, occasionally. I have found tons of old systems on the cheap, av cables when I needed them, carts (bunch of NES carts now going for 1.98 a bundle of 5 or something like that)
