Another so-so weekend, only thing I found worth getting was Beatles Rock Band in mint shape for $5. Higher than I would normally spend, but this is one of the few RB / GH games that has mostly held its value over time (for obvious reasons). I was in a hurry that day, didn't get to check to see if they had the matching guitars (which the Beatles exclusives can sell for a bit).

Also I remember seeing NBA 2K3 for GCN there, but now I'm second guessing myself, not too sure if it was NCAA 2K3 instead, I really have to memorize the valuable sports games (I don't have a smart phone / tablet to check vgpc.com on the fly ).

I saw NBA 2K13 and Just Dance 4 for the Wii U at my goodwill. 2K13 was priced at $40 and Just Dance was $35. Passed on both, but thought it was weird that Goodwill had Wii U games. Also saw a copy of Forza Horizon there.........for $50

HA the difference between my 3 local GWs is amazing.

1. had $4 on a NES game that had a $1 sticker from the used gamestore right next door, had $16 on a dirty cartridge only Super Mario Bros 3.

2. Nothing, lookin especially crappy today

3. The one that had the $28 Little Mermaid VHS.........complete Mario Kart 7 and Super Smash Bros Melee without the instructions I picked up for $7.54!

I work with several Goodwill employees, and I'm glad I work with them. They are fun and really good people.

Major haul today. Parasite Eve II basically new, a couple of vintage lenses and about 100 lbs of Lego. I spent a lot but will recoup quite a bit and then-some after some flipping.

Picked up a PS2 Slim today for $15. Same store had a PSX the other day $19.99, console only with no cords or controllers .

Hoping another Xbox pops up soon. Thinking about making a slim box, since I've been on a bit of a modding streak lately.

So far this month I have found a pink GBA SP in great condition for 8$, and Mario Party 5 for 3$ complete so awesome! I am going tomorrow to checkout more. I am a greedy pony need to make sure I clean out before the others and video game store employees come in

Picked up a Cisco wireless router for $5, nothing is wrong with it. I guess the previous owner just wanted to upgrade to Wireless N.

Anyway, I already flashed it with DD-WRT and I'm thinking about using it as a bridge to put next to my TV so I can hook up my Xbox to my network again.

Do random loose legos have any value? I see them from time to time, but I wasn't aware of them selling for a whole lot on eBay.

Yup

I think the rule of thumb is $5 a pound, Minifigs $1 or more each, old legos??? I think they are thinner, but I am not a lego guy.

right before i got these, I sold a 3 lb lot for $35. Minifigs are depoendent on what they are but generally provide the most bang for your buck. After I get done sorting and selling I'll pull in about $400 on top of what I spent.

Another common but valuable thing to look for are for the original, good condition My Little Pony toys (usually with 80's dates on the hooves), my wife picks them up for as little as $0.07 each, since they are part of the large random kids toy area (usually filled with Happy Meal toys in bins). My local GWs price them at 10 toys each for $1.50, which is only $0.75 on the half off days. Even the common ones can sell for $5-6 a piece, rare ones go for $10 or more.

Definitely not as masculine as Legos, but to be fair I have a daughter who loves them, so it's justified.

Today, I got a few lenses, the Laser Disc Star Wars Trilogy Collection, and a Holiday Edition of Munchkin. Spent about $60 for all that. The Munchkin itself will cover that.

Funny you'd mention that, I found a bag full of MLP toys today marked $2.98. Unfortunately, I checked the hooves and they were from 2007. Doesn't seem to be much demand for that era since it isn't vintage and it also isn't related to the TV show.

picked up College Hoops 2k8 @ Salvation Army for 9.99.. not a single scratch on it either

what kind of lenses?

Picked up a few things so far this year: Madden 2000 N64 Boxed, complete- $.95 Immortal NES Boxed, complete (like new) $1.99 and got mario kart on the ds for $1.99!

Found a sealed copy of Adventure Island 2 for the NES for $3 (it does have damage on one side, but not that major).

Also what is meant by lenses? Are there any other toys other than legos and my little ponies?

I assume he means camera lenses...Some are quite expensive.
