First I have to thank Sony, the VJ2 demo screw up, and a guy with no teeth for my deal. :applause:
The game I picked as a result of the holiday demo disc was Hot Shots Golf FORE!. I really haven't enjoyed it too much(I prefer Mario Golf) so I decided to trade it in at Gamecrazy. They give $17.50 for it, which is pretty good considering that it sometimes goes for less than that on eBay.
Anyway, I used the $17.50 store credit to get Suikoden IV and the art book for $22.50. A guy(w/ no teeth) had come in while I was checking out and was trading in a lot of old Sega stuff. He ended up getting only $24.50 store credit for a Saturn, Sega CD ver.1, Genesis ver.1, and a ton of games including Panzer Dragoon and Valis 3. I was considering offering him more for his stuff, but I didn't have the cash. As I was about to leave another guy came in w/ a bag of games and was about to trade them in when I saw he had RE3(mint/complete). I figured that the worst case scenario was I would buy it from Gamecrazy for something like $30(still too high!). However, I decided to move in and as he put the games on the counter I asked him how much he would sell RE3 to me for. He made an offer of $10. I obviously would have been willing, but only had $8 cash, so I asked if he'd take it and he did. :cool: Oh, and he made sure to tell me it was the Gamecube version, just in case I had mistaken it for a PS1 game. :rofl:
As if that wasn't enough, I then went to EB and found Armored Core: Master of Arena mispriced as Armored Core for $4.99. I used the 30% coupon and got it for $3.74 complete. I then used a second 30% off coupon and bought Shadow Hearts for about $17.
And I just ordered another free pizza and Coke(while supplies last) from Domino's w/ the coupon I got off CAG a while back. :wink:
