Is IndianaDave=HeSaveDave? I was wondering what happened to his posts.

Mana hasn't been in today - he's probably out liquidating his assets so that he can finance our collective revelry.

Mana hasn't been in today - he's probably out liquidating his assets so that he can finance our collective revelry.That's cool...I suggest he sell an extra controller or two from his stash. I think I'm gonna order a cocktail or two.

And what the hell keeps happening to the last ___Dave users? Is he being taken out back by the CAG Gestapo, or am I just imagining his messages?

Yeah - what did he do to get himself banned?

Yeah - what did he do to get himself banned?I guess a ban would explain it. He was asking for friends a few posts back (which have since been deleted) and was asking for people's phone numbers. I didn't think it was that bad, though, but the mods know better. Though I had no idea mods even look in these threads. Then again, it must be easier to do with such few posts.

Mana hasn't been in today - he's probably out liquidating his assets so that he can finance our collective revelry.Naw, I was a tad busy most of the day yesterday, getting my haircut and all.

That's cool...I suggest he sell an extra controller or two from his stash. I think I'm gonna order a cocktail or two.

And what the hell keeps happening to the last ___Dave users? Is he being taken out back by the CAG Gestapo, or am I just imagining his messages?I may send you all PMs later and we'll discuss this.

Okay, I didn't really catch anything in deals when I went out. One thing I did notice was that Sears no longer had their sale/clearance bin anymore, unless they hid it. Also, I probably should have bought it, but the Sears in Fort Wayne also broke the street date on Ninja Gaiden Sigma (PS3).

Anyone in Indy know where I can get Monster Hunter Freedom for the PSP at a good price?

The Mana Knight
07-03-2007, 02:27 PM
Since I'm familiar with PSP here (or at most sites), Monster Hunter Freedom was only discounted at Circuit City for $16.99 and Best Buy for $9.99. Many of the Best Buy locations sold out right away, while there might be a few CC locations that carry Monster Hunter Freedom. Most places I've seen that have it, sell it for $30-$40 new (If I can even find it). I wanted to buy the game myself but had problems finding it.
Let's have a CAG Indy/FW/Lafayette meet-up party. Mana Knight's treat. I suggest St. Elmo's. 8-)
I think I heard of the place, but I don't remember. Lol, I'm too poor to pay for you all. ;)
Mana's ponying up for a night on the town? Count me in!
I think there should be a Fort Wayne meetup sometime, with you, slidecage, floormat, erehwon, arbiter, donaldtrunk, Rolling Skull, etc.

Btw everyone, I updated my profile to say Lafayette, instead of West Lafayette, because I found an apartment today in Lafayette, so that's where I'll mostly be living for several months (although I come home to Ft. Wayne ever once in a while, like around my birthday around Labor Day). Maybe I should have a birthday birthday with the Indiana CAG members, since I haven't had a birthday party in several years. ;)

i would say a free cheap place would be IPFW but dont know if its just me or they are cracking down. I went there twice last week to print out a few items and was asked to see a student id first time that ever happened.

hopefully 1 more semster and i be out. 4 year gen studies and 2 year business both this fall if nothing happens.

Only 9 hours short for the 4 year gen studies program and only short accounting 202 for the business thing (already flunked that stupid class twice ( Ds both times just missed a C last spring)

Only 9 hours short for the 4 year gen studies program and only short accounting 202 for the business thing (already flunked that stupid class twice ( Ds both times just missed a C last spring).I know how it is with printing stuff, which is why we get a print quota at Purdue.

Anyway, since you explained your college situation, I'll say mine (don't think I ever mentioned it here).

I graduated H.S. in 2002 (started out kind of bad my first two years old H.S., but did really good my last two years). I wasn't really sure about what I wanted to do at the time and I didn't feel I was ready to go away to college. My parents sent me to Indiana Tech, where I mentioned in Computer Science, then Electrical Engineering (my parents didn't feel IPFW was right for me, since my sister and Mom went through there (well, my sister transferred to Indiana Tech where she eventually got her Bachelors in 6 years total of being in college)). In all reality, I realized I wasn't happy there after a few weeks and wanted to leave. It kind of sucked not being around anyone I knew anymore and I just had problems fitting in (partially because I lived off-campus). I decided to transfer schools, but decided on Purdue because I liked many of its majors and I knew several people there (so I could at least get comfortable initially). I only took 12 credit hours my first semester (only 9 transferred) and took only 6 my second (because I dropped 10, due to either bad professors or class I didn't need). Despite not doing much and mostly wasting my year, I got an A in every class except Chem (which I got a B in).

At Purdue, I got accepted into Electrical & Computer Engineering Technology. Couldn't get into regular engineering since I didn't have sufficient credits in certain classes to transfer. Problem is, what I took previously just kind of eased up on each semester, so I'd still have to go four years. For five semesters, I was really enjoying the major and doing really well in classes (getting over a 3.5 GPA, with my only C being in Calculus for Tech II, partially because the class was curved and my class had top notch students, so there was no way I could get an A or B). Once I got to my 6th semester, things started to go downhill. I took a Project Management & Development class (basically, build a robot with a group of people (the robot wasn't technically possible either)) which changed my outlook on the major. The class had me do more work than time in the day, and I just couldn't get my power block to work (Over 65% of my class couldn't get their blocks working), so they ended up failing 25% of the class (I barely made it through). My GPA also dropped a little during that semester too. My 7th semester I entered the first phase of senior design, along with taking other classes. We had to prepare our senior design project towards the end of the semester in that Project Management & Development courses. Due to problems with the project and the Prof. being mean, he got us into doing extremely hard projects that couldn't be done (like me), so I ended up dropping the class (putting be back to finishing in Summer 07). Took the class again in Spring 07 and stayed the whole time. Problem is, by every deadline, I didn't meet the minimum percentage of blocks working, so I was barely making it through the course. At the end, since I didn't get integration, I failed the course (but got an A in all my other classes, still made the honor roll, lol). I was told that if I get integration done before the next semester, I can move onto Phase II of the project (btw, I changed projects the second time I took it).

To better explain things, to finish my major, you must come up with an electronic product or project dealing with electronics, on your own (no picking topics, you decide). It can't be something easy, because we are required to make the project quite difficult (stuff we did in 300-400 level classes, and we must do something we never did before in the department). By week 4, you're required to have 10% of the project complete (very easy). By week 6, you're required to have 50% complete (if you are anything below it, you automatically get a small percentage of the points, basically, less than a 60% of 100 points as an example). By week 10, you must have 100% of your project working (if any less, you automatically lose 40 points, and the percentage you have completed gets multiplied by 60, for your total score). By week 15, all your blocks must be integrated together and fully working (with sufficient software). If they are, every point you get will be multiplied by 1, and if you don't, everything gets multiplied by zero and you fail the class (even if you got everything else to work). 2/3rds of your points in the lab is based off of project funtion, so even if you do perfect on paper work, won't help. This is the whole reason I'm starting to hate my major. Some people do fine, but usually 33-45% fail the class during the semester. Phase II isn't bad, because all you do is put your electronic device into a final enclosure, finish up all software involved, and present it to faculty and people in industry. Even good students failed Phase I, who got almost all straight A's, because it isn't like any class (some students who barely passed got by the class easily). I heard of someone who has taken the class 7 times.

So basically, this is why I'm entering my 6th year in college. Despite doing well in every class for the most part, it's just a struggle for me to get a good project, that works (there's much more to the story, but I ranted too much). I do enjoy electronics (although I do seem to prefer computer programming, wish I did that as a major instead, but it would take me another 3 years to finish college, so forget it, and my major pays good), but I'm sometimes unsure of myself on my decision. I might have to finish up at IPFW (where its easier I hear), but I really want that main Purdue degree.

Basically my long rant is the reason I'm trying to really cut back on buying games and playing, since I need to finish college badly (most think I should be fine with a 3.55 GPA, but I'm not). I don't buy as many cheap games as I use to, despite buying a few. I'm never going to quit gaming, just cut back. I want to get a Wii, but I shouldn't be spending more money and time on gaming.

Today, I only went to Sam's Club in Lafayette, IN, after I looked at apartments. Saw a good deal on NFS Carbon on PS3 ($38), but already bought before. Due to my Mom having surgery (not anything truly serious though), I probably won't be out much the next few days (gotta be around for her, since I'm too nice).

Btw, this (http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k38/The_Mana_Knight/ManaKnight/TMK9.jpg) is my picture. I'm just showing it, so you'll know it might be me when looking around at games. I doubt any of you have seen me before (I'm kind of short too, usually wearing a Bulls or Boilers shirt).

My college story can be summed up easily. I started off well enough, but then spiraled into rampant drinking, smoking weed, and complete debauchery. I do wish I would have finished (am contemplating going back as a matter of fact), but damn if I didn't have the time of my life.

I'm the opposite. I've never been drunk once in my entire life (I never drank in my lifetime, other than a small sip of beer and rum as a kid). I never tried any other drug. The only party I went to in college was a Bemani music/anime party and a DDR party. I went to a few fighter events. Otherwise, after I finished my classes on Friday, I'd do my homework on Friday night, most of Saturday, and most on Sunday, taking very few breaks. I am a workaholic and perfectionist, so I'm always doing school work (rarely go out). If I'm not doing homework, I'm either on the internet or playing games. I had many weekends where I never left my dorm or apartment once. It kind of sucks that my college life has been very boring and I don't really have many close friends or friends at all in real life (most are just aquitances(sp), since I don't get out very much at all, unless I'm buying a video game or going to class).

Most feel I need to get out more in college and take it easy, but I dunno, just can't get out of my cycle of always staying busy with school work and gaming.

I can relate. I don't smoke and I've only had a small sip of Champagne at a wedding. I don't smoke, drink, or do drugs since I live a cheap ass lifestyle. I also spend a lot of time inside doing homework, gaming, or on the internet. I'm going to ITT Tech and there really isn't much of a social life there.

I also need to get out more. It's too bad there really aren't any good places to hang out at in Fort Wayne. I wish arcades were still around.

Wow, lots of testimonials in here ... now I feel obligated to tell mine.

I grew up in eastern Pennsylvania and graduated high school in 1998. I skipped college and enlisted in the US Air Force. I served for six years and became a Staff Sergeant, but eventually got out at the end of 2004. At that time, I was stationed in New Jersey and lived there for the next year and a half.

At the same time, I met my girlfriend in 2003 while in the Air Force. After she got out of the Air Force last summer, we moved to Fort Wayne since this is where she grew up and living was a bit to expensive on the east coast. We've been together over four years now and just got engaged a couple weeks ago. We're planning a December 31st wedding.

I finally got around to finally starting college last summer. I took summer classes last year at Burlington County College in NJ before we moved. I worked during the fall semester since I missed registration due to the move. I started taking classes at IPFW this spring. I am a full time student living off of my GI Bill and having Pell Grants pay for my college. I'll be going to school year-round until my degree is done, because I would prefer to graduate before I am 30.

I've abused almost every substance known to man, but those days are in my past. I'll occassionaly have a couple of drinks, but that's as far as it goes anymore. Drugs and extreme drinking start to lose their appeal as you get older. Now I'm just a homebody who does homework, watches sports on TV, plays video games, video game bargain hunts, and spends way to much time on the internet. I'm always checking out games when I'm out shopping ... here's a pic in case you see me (NOTE: I always have a backwards hat on and glasses) My Pic (http://img107.imageshack.us/img107/5080/mekm0.jpg)

Ok, story time :)

I went to Ball State, commuted from my parents house near Muncie.
I started in Computer Science, but got bored with assembly language & calculus. I was taking Art as a minor, and decided to transfer. So I switched in my 2nd year to Fine Art and in 5 years had a BA in Fine Art with a focus in photography.
I have a full time job, not related to my degree. So...I work just enough, do the family thing, and occiasionally have time for games on the weekends or in the late evening. I pick up most of my stuff off GameTZ or out of bargain bins.

Oklahoma is my stomping grounds. A LOT less competition. I'm up here for another month before I'll be out of you guys' hair.

You can find me at the IPFW housing, but I'd rather you didn't as I'd have nothing to say and it'd be all awkward.

And I hit up the Glenbrook shopping areas pretty much daily. The other big outdoorsy mall place on Illinois or whatever road usually on weekends.

Don't worry about having nothing to say, I'm probably one of the shyest people around and I tend to be a little awkward socially (usually not much to say, unless I kind of know the person).

I remember slidecage telling me that the employees pulled the cheap games off the shelves last summer so no one could buy them now (like AW Dual Strike). That's part of the reason I dislike the CC in Fort Wayne (I find better stuff at other ones too).

Ok, a couple of lame-o deals for you guys:

EB at Jefferson Point has a ton of DVD's right now. I did spot several seasons of Smallville (2,3,4, and maybe 5) starting at $20 and going up from there.

Target on Coldwater has some stuff in their electronics clearance endcap. I saw 3 Xbox memory cards for $6.50 each, 2 Gamecube 251 memory cards for $5. There were also a couple of universal GC/PS2/XB S-video cables, and one S-video and one Component 360 cable. I think the cables were all around $10-$15

The Fort Wayne CC also has a few 360 clearance games left. No fucking VT3, but they have Rumble Roses XX and a few sports games. Check the bottom of the Xbox bin.

I think I'm gonna head out right now and get those 251 GC memcards.

Yeah, I flubbed that one. But, I got to refill my McD's soda, so it worked out. Also, I can report that, clearance-wise, Stellhorn's Target has a lot of printers and jack shit else.

I'll hit up Coldwater's Target tomorrow after work and will likely buy precisely one GC Memcard, as I only own third party memcards for the Cube. Do drop a message if you guys plunder those cards before I get off work sos I don't need to waste mah time.

The Fort Wayne CC also has a few 360 clearance games left. No fucking VT3, but they have Rumble Roses XX and a few sports games. Check the bottom of the Xbox bin.

I think I'm gonna head out right now and get those 251 GC memcards.I already bought my copy of VT3 for $42.50 (during a Meijer sale) on PS3, but I don't regret it. I mostly bought it because my old buddies loved to play the game (same with me) offline.

I still remember the old Stellhorn Target and how freaking small it was (I've been there since 1983), then it became the best Target in town (until the one on Coldwater expanded). But lol, I always see lots of cheap printers at Target. Got one of mine there, and it sure was crap, lol.

I'm sure enough that there was no PSU 360 in the CC clearance bins at any of the numerous times I checked that I would say with some degree of certainty that it ain't worth the effort for you to check.

Irony: I only just played the VT3 demo at BB a week or so back and now I wants me some VT3 bad. If only for the music, otherwise, Mario Tennis would do me just fine.

Also, I'm not married to those GC Memcards, so if anyone else wants to call dibs, I wouldn't mind the excuse to NOT buy them.

I was also thinking about running out to grab one of those Memcards. If I can't grab one, I might go to TRU and see if I can have them pricematch from their own site. I have a printout from the 75% off sale for the 1019 card. I could also try pricematching that at CC. Maybe I should try to pick up one of those instead? Does Target pricematch? It just occurred to me to try them while I'm there.

I thought Target did price matching, but I don't remember exactly.

I didn't even bother trying. Neither of the targets in town had any Nintendo brand mem cards. I was thinking about going to TRU, but I really don't need to spend the money right now.

The clearance at the glenbrook target wasn't that bad. The one at maplecrest didn't really have much. The only interesting thing I saw there was a two sets of diecast Transformers for $9.

I would check craigslist. They might have some. I would also look for stores going out of business and try to buy their showcases if they have them. If that doesn't work, you could ask some of the local stores where they got their showcases.

I wouldn't mind getting some showcases if I ever have the room for them, but that's a long ways away.

Watch the newspaper classifieds for auction notices. You're looking for a "fixtures sale". They usually do them whenever a retail shop goes out of business to get rid of the racks and showcases and such. They usually have these kind of auctions in the middle of the week to discourage people who aren't serious buyers.

I'll also check at my work. We just bought out a smaller store in OH, we may have some cases in the fixtures pile. How much are you willing to spend?

Funny thing about glass showcases. My cousin needs one for her shop and saw that Ks were going OOB. Saw the nice piece said like 400 bucks and though okay 400 bucks isnt bad

They thought they was going to get the long piece but for 400 bucks it was just the VERY TINY corner piece. The long piece was like 1200 bucks. She said that was almost doubled what they cost new LOL dont know if true or not . but found it funny Ks prices

wonder why Video stop decided to sell those 2 stores to hollywood. It wouldnt shock me to see the video stop on west state become a hollywood video store in the future (or even close) since it seems family video is kicking their asses.

I remembered that old Game Exchange (or whatever it was called) inside of Video Stop. At the time I went there, they had next to no games (I went to the one on Maplecrest and West State). I remember going to the one on West State and it was like some ghetto. I never rented at Video Stop, since they were far away (only went to Blockbuster).

I still miss the old days when Phar-Mor(sp) was around. I use to rent all my games there (The year 1994 and before) for a low price, and they had a good selection of SNES, Genesis, Gameboy, and NES games.

Other news around town (which most of you probably know), I was a little surprised on the news to hear which Scott's and Kroger locations were closing (due to Kroger buying Scott's). I initially thought they were going to close a location at Dupont, Maplecrest, Coventry, and around the southside of town (I can't understand why they have two stores right across the street from one another), but it looks like most locations which are closing are outside of Allen County (Except for the Kroger on State, near Downtown).

other way around there : ) Krogers took over all the scotts. Krogers must be rolling in money cause they took over 70+ super markets in mich as well.

expect the dupont one to close down (either one of them , they wont have 2 of them accross the road from one another. The 5 listed today I guess was in major losses and the rest of them will be shut down in a few months

i could never stand the krogers on spy run always seemed run down.

yea i miss phar mor, i still got a 4 draw file cabnet i got off them for like 22.50 (when they cost like 150 to 200 back then everyplace else) They were closing down their office stuff.

Game Exchange had some major flaws they didnt want to look at and that is why they went belly up.

1. most of their games were outdated price wise. I got games off ebay for like 3 to 4 bucks each and sold them to them for like 22 to 30 each. They had dreamcast games for like 45 bucks where on ebay they were 5

2, The only had a 24 hour return warrenty. compair to 30 days at mcvans. Half of the games didnt even work when you tried them.

3. the people they had working there had no clue about video games.

4. They never advertised.

5.. Trade fees were just insane (like mcvans)

6... their stores wasnt link.. Meaning you could go into one store buy a game for like 15 and take it to another store and sell it back for 30 LOL

by the time i got done swapping out games i got 3 gba systems and around 300 buck gift card within a few months for free

i remember seeing the signs saying they are closing down and talking to a manager telling them IF they hired me and let me run the thing i wanted to (with touraments ect ) I promiss to turn a profit or i would pay them so much money. dude look at me and said

Sounds like too much work.

even though they didnt have to do a thing. they still passed on the idea

The only reason I found out about Game Exchange was their commercials, on trading up. I always felt their selection was terrible and prices sucked, which is why I never bothered with them. And yeah, their values on games was messed up (I remember seeing a really crappy Dreamcast game at top level).

I checked the Big lots on Stellhorn I think around last week. I really didn't see too much. The only anime that I recall seeing was Cyborg009 for $2. I forget which disk. I'm waiting for them to do a restock.

I have gotten some good disks from biglots, but I'm not sure if I'm going to continue buying them since they don't seem to ever get more of a series. I have the first disk of Agento Soma and Gungrave, but I've never seen anymore there. It seems like they only get random disks from different animes.

Well RollingSkull, the sale is already over in Fort Wayne (went from Sunday to Tuesday). Meijer is a lot like Wal-Mart, but better IMO. Well, at least in my part of Fort Wayne, cleaner (My Wal-Mart is a mess) and so on. Every once in a while, Meijer has deals where you can use coupons off of general merchandise (15-20%, Summer/Santa bucks, etc.). Their deals aren't as good as they use to be (other than around President's Day), but still good. They use to run sales where if you buy one game, you get another half off. They'd also have coupons, and I'd stack them, getting two $40 games together for $51. Meijer is where I buy the majority of my PS3 games, to save money.

I did see two Beatmania boxes at the bottom. The guy there said that it was $20. I don't know if that's a good price, but I thought I'd mention it.

I also dropped by the Big Lots and Target down the road. I didn't see anything good on on clearance at Target. Big Lots hasn't gotten any new anime and they don't have too much in the pc games.

I'm wondering if I would ever play it. I have Disgaea 1 sitting unplayed on my shelf. I might just be buying it to have. I just don't know if I'll have the time to finish games like that.

went back to grab a few more but someone took the last 4 of disgaea 2 right in front of me and said EBAY HERE I COME (i might have 1 to trade dont know yet )

Grabbbed 1 this morning for myself to keep sealed
Grabbed 1 for cousin
Grabbed 1 to try on goozex already gone

they had like 20 at 8am


THey only had 1 amped 3 left


disgaea rung up at 9.98 but amped rung up at 19.98 and had to call a manager to override

im not sure if the price would be the same at all walmarts locally. might hit the apple glen up tomorrow if no one hits it up tonight to see

i was thinking about trying to grab some copies of tales for people here BUT at 20 a pop they add very quickly. Its just too bad they wasnt 9.99 for all the games.

still tempted to go back tomorrow and grab a gallop racer 2006 to complete my gallop racer games sealed collection (even though 2006 really sucked)

hope someone checkes the other walmarts tonight so i dont have to check.

I saw the front line games there yesterday. They're on the last game isle before you hit the DVD section. Close to the computer pepherials. they're on the side of the isle that faces the entrance to the store. There were a couple of those cardboard stand up displays.

I also dropped by the maysville road walmart. They didn't have tales or disgaea 2 marked down. The 3 wavebirds on clearance are still $23. I'm hoping those might drop down a little more.

Sports games have very low trade in values. I used to work at EB.
For Madden games generally they run some kind of promo the first few weeks the game is out, where they'll give you extra credit to trade it back in, say 25 or 30 in trade credit. I guess because they can move them faster, and they'll make way more profit on selling one for $5 off Retail used when they only paid 2/3 of that. But once it's about a month old, it'll drop fast.

By the time the next one comes out they'll only give you $1 for it.

We saw this with any "yearly" sports titles, especially on Madden and the WWE games.

it all depends on who you get at pawn shops. the one accross the road i picked up the complete series of firefly for 4 bucks (even though it was to be 4 bucks per disc) I told them i would never pay that much for a used dvd set and he goes. How about if i sell it to you for 4 .

Have any of you guys asked the GC employees in town about the sale that is supposed to be happening? I've been wondering if that will happening here.

If any of you guys are interested in N64 stuff, there was a garage sale on 4924 Forest Ave. This ebay lady was getting rid of some stuff. She had a several games for $5, controllers, systems, cables and a lot of other stuff. She also had this n64 with a pikachu on on the system for $15.


I also saw Wiis at the Maplecrest Target.

She only had n64 games. There two or three systems and a whole bunch of accessories. I saw several controllers, n64 ac adapters, nintendo composite cables, and other stuff. There wasn't much for other systems. I got a xbox dvd remote, zelda a link to the past manual, and some kind of orange gun controller with a usb connector & a yellow plug connector. I think it might be for the ps2.

Any collectors in Indy/FW/West Lafayette? I was considering selling my Xbox/PS2 and possibly N64/DC game collection/system/accessories. Wanted to see what the interest was. I've held onto my games thinking I might want to go back and play them again, but I just don't think that's ever gonna happen.

All games come complete with manuals/inserts and for the 64 games, I'm quite certain I've still got the boxes and manuals/plastic that the carts came in. I'll have to dig around the storage to be sure on those, though. The disc games are pristine, though and all games were purchased brand new by me.

As you can see, I don't trade much, so I wanted to see how it would go if I tried to sell locally first and gauge the interest and learn more about how best to move my old collection. Thanks.

PM me a list if you have one. Interested in all games/systems.

I'll have to do an inventory first. I'll post the list here first before doing my own trade list thread.

i might be insterested in some ps2 games BUt i doubt you will get much for the n64/dc stuff.

might be interested in the DC system if it was dirt cheap ": )

I'd also be interested in seeing a list of games. I'm always interested in ps2 and dreamcast stuff.

I'd be interested in Dreamcast games as well, and your XBox if it's available.

Usually I'd take the offers, but my gaming collection is still too big. :(

I'm in Fort Wayne over the weekend. I had a tough time finding Warhawk, but ended up getting the display case at Gamestop (at Jefferson Pointe). I saw one Wii at Wal-Mart today, but it was gone later.

Wow, I've been here for a few months and just now noticed the Indiana thread?! I live on the east side of Indy near Washington Square Mall. Just went to Gamestop tonight and bought the Naruto Uzumaki Chronicles for the PS2 for my son. It looks pretty good, I think I'll try it later.

Gamestop at the mall is always hit and miss. There were plenty of clearance racks for Xbox, PS2, and Gamecube with plenty of games for under 10 bucks. Not too shabby for the mall I guess. I think I would have preffered to go to EB Games on East Washington by Wal Mart, at least I can pick up a game for under 5 bucks there usually.

If anyone has any games to trade or sell in the area, post em' up. I have a PS1, PS2, and Dreamcast and I'm always looking for interesting games.

Took awhile to compile. Please note, this isn't the final list of games I'll have up for sale. I just wanted to take inventory of what I have. I'll likely pick a game or two out to keep, but everything else I'm looking to move. If you have any suggestions on how I would go about doing that in the most efficient manner, please let me know. I think I'm gonna hold onto my DC and N64 systems, though and most of the games. It'll probably be too much of a hassle to send that stuff through the mail with the game boxes and jewel cases.

I get the feeling I left out a game or two having this extensive list, so if you don't see it, ask and I'll check to make sure I have it. I have PC games as well. I'm just looking to make room, so if that interests you, I'll put up a list for that as well. Thanks.

(I’m quite certain I’ve got the boxes for the N64 games along with manuals in good shape. Please ask for more info.)
