$3 each. Rarely see any SNES games around here besides at the overpriced flea market stand, so this was a fantastic find.

Got sonic and knuckles cib
Sonic 3 cib
And
The guy game for Xbox for 5 bucks each.

A little pricey but I can flip the guy game for an easy 30 and I don't want it anyways. Even if it is a little sought after.

Very nice. I just saw one of those a couple of weeks ago on some TV show about a pawn shop. I think the guy wanted something around $500 (don't quote me on that) which he of course didn't get. It's certainly not worth a ton of money and it doesn't appear to be highly sought after, but it's still a cool piece and you can definitely make a decent profit.

Dropped by Goodwill and saw a Gamecude with hookups but not controller for $15. Almost went to check out but then thought to myself to recheck to see if there was anything else. So I go back and see a box on the top shelf marked $29.99. So I grabbed said "mystery box" and I find a Dreamcast with hookups, 5 controllers, starfire lightblaster, 2 memory cards, 2 visual memory cards, and Sonic Adventures 2 (doesn't work though). So I of course but the Dreamcast package and leave the Gamecube behind

Nice post Survivalism! Yeah AVGN did review Hydlide and the first top gun. Like I said, the games suck... too bad I couldn't find a CIB Jekyll and Hyde

That was Storage Wars Texas, and to be fair, the guy that found it is an ex-Dallas Cowboy, not a professional storage unit flipper.

Oh damn, that's right, it was Storage Wars. I was thinking it was that pawn shop show with the bald guy for some reason. I watched a lot of television for a couple of days (I usually watch no more than an hour each day), so I guess all of the shows kinda blurred together. Heh. Thanks for the correction.

Found Ocarina of Time 3D mint complete for $20 at the will. Picked that up since the lowest I've seen it at retail is $30. Only other notable thing was a long box ps1 baseball game, should I have bought that? (I didn't check the price but knowing this store it was probably sub $5)

If its the game I'm thinking of, no, you shouldn't have even at $4 unless you need a longbox to replace

Found a complete copy of Sunset Riders, Phantasy Star, and Mortal Kombat Trilogy (ouch - just found out the resale value of this game dropped - it was going for $30 on Nov 11) - all for $5.99 each @ goodwill.

Not sure if the phantasy star's cartridge works since I don't have a system to test it out.

If anybody interested in buying it, just pm or I just hold on to it until I find a system for cheap. I'm asking $15 shipped. If it works, paypal me $15. If it doesn't ship it back to me and leave me good feedback.

went to my first thrift store after about a year.
found strategy guides for warcraft 2 and diablo 2 for .25 cents each.

I played the shit out of that game when I was younger, it was a lot of fun back then. Looks like it goes for about $10 used on Amazon and there is only 1 copy on Ebay going for about $15 bucks so it wouldn't have been that bad of a pickup.

it was just a small jewel case with the booklet rubber banded to it. no box or anything. i might go back tomorrow and pick it up.

Picked this up today for $6 at the local goodwill.



Good deal? It seemed like one at the time, but I am kind of having buyer's remorse. I don't have an original Xbox so I can't test it. Looks like I'll be sitting on it for a while.

I don't know what the actual value of the game is, but it's definitely not $10-$15. If it was worth that much, those copies would've been sold by now. BIN asking price isn't an accurate indicator of an item's worth.
