Managed to find a 64 with two controllers, rumble pack, and memory card for $10 at GW. AV cable was mangled, but I have a spare I can use. Best part is, I got it home and found out it had the memory expansion. Nintendo brand, too.

Today I made a trip to the GW before work and got Rockband 3 for the Wii 5$ Complete. Three days ago I had seen a Gamecube with a Intec Screen on it, too bad I had to wait two days to get my paycheck. It was 24.99 and came with call of duty 2 the screen looked like it was in great shape and the gamecube unit itself was a black console in great condition. no wires or controllers though but looking up some websites the screen is worth quite some money.

He usually only checks video games after I look through them as I don't check books since that is his main thing. I'm glad he got them, but pissed at myself for not being there.

That officially beats my purchase price for Suikoden II. I paid $5. But to be fair, it probably wasn't a hot collectible at that time.

Got my GC with Intec Screen for $10 at GW last year. Too bad it didn't come with the wires for the Screen. :(

Yeah, just be cautious of the PS3 guitars. They need the USB dongle. I picked up two last week for $2 each, not realizing the dongles were missing.

this week i came away with
-Slim PS2 with power cable $7
-N64 gray controller $4
-The Orange Box for PC $3, haven't tried installing to see if the key works, its unlikely it will
-Guitar Hero world tour PS2 $2

I saw a PSP with adapter for $50 but passed on it.

Sealed Black Label GTA 3 for PS2 and two Spice Orange Gamecube controllers and wavebird all for $20. Nice little flip

Pretty bad week. All I saw was Parasite Eve for PlayStation. Left it because I already have 2 copies, it was incomplete and in bad shape.

Still no games but here's some more stuff anyways.



The Art of Fullmetal Alchemist: The Anime & The Land of Sand novel

Found these mixed in with a bunch of shojo manga at SA, paid $1 each.



These are from a different thrift; Halo & Baldur's gate novels, Naruto movie animanga, and Bo-Bobo vol. 1. $3 for the whole bunch. These were on a shelf with almost 100 Star Wars and D&D novels but I really have no idea which ones, if any, were worth grabbing so I just picked the few video game novels instead.



Also grabbed this Dreamweaver 4 (Mac) student copy. It's pretty old and a bit beat up, but on the other hand it's sealed so I figured there might be some value.

Picked up a white xbox 360 wireless controller for $4 yesterday, it was really dirty but once cleaned and tested it works great, i just wanted it for the battery cover since mine is cracked from being dropped too much, bonus that it works.

Had a decent GW weekend, picked up the following:

Paper Mario: TTYD $5
Spryo: A Hero's Tail $5
Wii Remote (white, standard), $1

Happy to finally see a good GCN game, especially since TTYD is my favorite from the platform. Picked up Spyro as I seem to be finding complete copies recently of the various PS2 titles, and I couldn't pass on the $1 Wii remote (it was tagged together along with the cheap Wii 'accessories' like the baseball bats and rackets).

Solid finds today:

Interplay's 10 Year Anthology (PC): 3.99 (complete with big box, book, everything in very good shape. Looks like these go for about 40 but I'll hang onto it I think)

Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection (360): 2.99
Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Xbox): 2.99
Freedom Fighters (Xbox): 2.99
Star Wars Battlefront II (Xbox): 2.99 (my second copy from this location in the last 2 months. This one will be for sale/trade)

Wii USB wifi stick and OG Game Boy with games and Game Gear all for $15

Found a large collection of PS2 games at Goodwill today, a real steal at only $8 a piece



Seriously, I get it, Goodwill provides training and jobs for the mentally handicapped, but do they really have to allow them to price the items as well?

^ Mmmmmm. Sport Games

I found Kinect Adventures for 1.99 at my local goodwill. Picked it up not realizing I already have a copy. That's all I found this week but they had tons of sports PS2 games for 3.99 a piece. Seems like prices keep slowly climbing up there. I found a grimey Gamecube without any wires and not even tested for $30...

I found a Sega Pico with Richard Scarry's Huckle and Lowly's Busiest Day Ever for $00.49 today. No cords but I had a spare Genesis power supply and it works like a charm. May seem silly but as a huge Sega fan, I just couldn't pass. Especially for that price, lol.

Even when I see a huge rack of sports games, I take the time to open them up and see what's really inside. Most of the time they are as advertised, but occasionally I find one with a different game inside (which is actually worth what they are charging), or even a memory card to boot.

Granted this doesn't happen very often, but once in awhile I'm surprised, so I continue to take the 2-3 minutes to go and open each one individually. But $8 is a horrible starting price at that GW...

I was surprised to actually find a Wii that was priced decently ($45 with two controllers, nunchuck, and cables). Even then I tried to talk it down a little bit just in case, when some old guy came over and started looking at it and said "these still go for $250 with the console only". I just said "no, they really don't" and walked away (I don't need another one anyways). I hate when people try to pretend that they know prices. I see this a lot at Goodwill stores just listening over other people's conversations. "Yeah man, this VHS copy of Toy Story goes for about $40 on eBay."

Anyways, I bought a GH Les Paul and the orange one that has the touch board (both XBox 360) for $2 a piece. Not much luck lately.
