Just do store pick up. I was able to pick a few that way today.

Damn looks like I'll have to restore my gc collection via Ebay.

Check pawn shops, thrift stores, resale shops, and garage sales in the Spring time. You'll find 'em if your patient. Some of the stuff is going for too much on Ebay. It seems to be there are more BIN's than actual auctions.

Craigslist is a good place to look also. There are lots of stuff to be found for cheap.

Went in expecting to turn out empty handed, but actually netted a handful of games. Some I already own, others to flesh out my collection:

Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life x2
Super Monkey Ball
Star Wars Rogue Leader x2
Splinter Cell Chaos Theory CE
Metroid Prime 2
Pac-Man World 3
Metroid Prime
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (It's still a solid 3D beat-em-up)
Sonic Heroes
Simpsons Hit And Run
Rampage Total Destruction
Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee
Fight Night Round 2 (lol Little Mac)
Evolution Worlds
Batman Vengeance
Chaos Field

All for about $26 and change. Not too bad, I guess.

EDIT: Turns out they handed me the Splinter Cell CE case with nothing even inside of it. I know it's only $1, but still kinda irritating. At least the GS is only a few mins from me so I'll stop by and maybe they can do a swap if they can't locate the disc.

I just bought all the ninja turtles games on eBay for gamecube. All 5 for 50. Not the best deal but instead of hunting got them all at once. Still enjoying my gamecube.

Like people before me have said. Everything good is out of stock with in 100 miles of me. I went through some of the greatest GC games but sadly all 10 of them where out of stock online.

Find only 1 copy Finding Nemo (excellent condition) with case & manual & booklet $1.60

I went to 2 of my nearest stores and came up with crap. I got Swingers Golf, MC Groovz Dance Craze and WWE Day of reckoning. lol but altogether the 3 combined cost me like $1.50 and i only got them cuz they were complete. But I got some cheap used wii games too like Mad World for $3 still 2 more in a mall here that I can check out tomorrow, might not bother though cuz normally they have nothing for GC games anyway, but since its 5 min from my house I might venture out.

Heh, I went around to every nearby GS last year looking for Animal Crossing because I got the itch to revisit that version of it, and every single one of them laughed at me. They told me then that they hadn't carried GC games in a long time.

Ah okay, I got it. When it says Games and Accessories, "accessories" doesn't include things like controllers. How that isn't an accessory, I dunno. Gamestop logic.

Quick question. I can return damaged games to any store correct? I was in a hurry tonight and grabbed some that looked like someone ate them. I want to return them for store credit at a closer GameStop.

I read through and didn't see anyone confirm, are consoles 75 off too or just games/accessories. I figure no but was wondering if anyone knows for sure

Yes

Just bought a wii off of ebay and no idea if it can play gamecube games or not since it was used. Might take a chance and go to my local gs that has Mario Party 4 and 5 according to their site.

Nothing at my gamestop... Was hoping to replace the winwaker and paper Mario my brother sold on me years ago. Oh well. At least I still have my twin snakes and symphonia I guess

Not sure if it was posted before, but I figure it deserves its own thread just to let people know. Granted most Gamestops have a dwindling inventory of Gamecube items, it might be worth checking out to nab what you can before its all gone, similar to the GBA stuff a few years back. http://www.gamestop.com/browse/game-cube?nav=1392

Off topic, but does anyone know if the Gameboy Advance games are still on sale since a few years back? I know a couple stores that have some Gameboy Advance games still sitting on their DS shelf.

I'm betting they have Polarium Advance in stock... I still see that one stocked in the DS glass case. I wonder if someone will buy them one day before they got disposed of.

They were still on sale during the summer (at 75% off) but I'm not sure now since the signage has since been taken away. Most stores don't have anything good left since it's been going on for so long (they started clearing them out in 2011 so it's mostly trash left over).
