Got a copy of Kingdom Hearts 2 for 5.00. It was marked 7.99 but I noticed it had been there over 3 months so I asked if they would take 5.00 and they said yes.

Went to the local Pawn shop around here yesterday. There wasn't much and everything was over priced.

My favorite pawn shop comes through. Mega man x2: 4.99. Thats for trade. Also got professor layton and the curious village, same price.

I thought I would like it when I finally started playing it, but to me its a slough to get trough especially the install times and really long cut scenes. Also I never saw MGS4 that cheap anywhere else and in that good condition. if I ordered online it would of easily being over 10 dollars with sales tax and shipping. So paying 10 dollars flat for what could be mistaken for a new copy was a good deal IMO.

It was a brag post about a purchase made/found in a pawn shop

Now, is your post necessary? just flaming me only since I don't like a game from a series im a fan of. MGS4 isn't a horrible game and I do think its worth playing at least once if someones a fan of MGS 1-3. I just think that parts like Drebin's shop and stuff is just unnecessary.

Finally went to my first Pawn Shop. I thought it was gonna be a bad experience for some reason. Glad I was wrong, the staff, especially this one guy was very welcoming and helpful. They had a couple of the systems. Most of them were boxed but were pretty much market value. They had a small rack of games but it was a pretty good selection, although I'm pretty sure the Xbox and Ps2 stuff was priced the same as the current gen. Didn't see any of the older stuff but I forgot to ask them if they had any cartridge games. Lol. :/

Got a copy of Almost minty Oblivion GOTY and Darksiders, $20 for PS3. Going to go back and pick up some others in a week or so. Especially Ponyo. xD

Must have been my lucky day today! I was out and about and walked by our local Pawn Shop so I decided to stop by. This shop is not impossible to find deals at, but more often than not if it's a new/rare game it's priced accordingly. I went to the game case and picked up Zelda Skyward Sword for 10 bucks!

I was pretty pumped with that, until I went over to the DVD's and saw about 50-60 PS2/Gamecube games that had just been put out, all marked $2 each. I didn't want to be selfish so I left some games there, but I just had to pick up the ones I did! Here's my haul:

Gamecube:
Zelda: Wind Waker
Zelda: Collectors Edition
Zelda: The four Swords
Super Smash Bros Melee

PS2:
.hack//g.u. Vol 1: Rebirth
.hack//g.u. Vol 2: Reminisce
Wild Arms 4
Wild Arms 5
Wild Arms Alter Code: F
GrimGrimoire
Valkyrie Profile 2
Magna Carta
Dawn of Mana
Radiata Stories

I'm still second guessing why I didn't just buy them all, but I'm definitely happy with the ones I got!

Total price for all was ~$40 after tax.

A good day!

Nice pickup, yeah I would have picked up every rpg i saw, which is what it looks like you did.

Well, stopped at the pawn shop earlier. When I walked in a guy walking out asked if I wanted to buy a gameboy. He didn't like the pawn shops offer.

So I got a Gameboy SP (red) with a case, and a game (some generic GBA arcade game) for $15. Trying to decide if I want to sell it or not.

Then I got a like new copy of FF VII: Advent children for $1

Then the owner told me they were going to be putting out new games next week. That usually means a nice haul for me. (my previous post of about 50 NES games for example)

Oh and two days ago I got a nice set of SNES games there. All pretty common $5 - $10 titles, but I didn't have any of them, for a $1 each I was pretty happy.

Just got back from a pawn shop up the street. Found Modern Warfare 3 Hardened Edition for $9.99 for PS3. What's dumb is they have a normal Modern Warfare 3 also on PS3 for $34.99. I also found The MLB 2K12/NBA 2K12 combo on 360 for $2.99 but it only had the MLB 2K12 but no NBA 2K12 disc. For $3 I said why not I already have NBA 2K12 anyway.

Today I found :ps1:Namco Museum Volume 1&3 for $2.00 each.

Awesome! The thing with the pricing happened to me as well. They had a Game Only Oblivion in a GS Case for 20ish. Saw a complete minty Oblivion GOTY for $10. You can tell which one I picked up. Lol.

Lol my favorite shop does that too. I saw Rage (anarchy edition) for 360 marked as $25 on two copies, $20 on one and one minty one was marked at...$5. Grabbed that one quick.

Found this baby for $5. On a stack of games on the floor behind the counter as I was checking out.
The lady couldn't find it online.
One guy was asking her to hurry up. So she just gave it to me for $5.00, mainly because I bought 3 other games at that price.

Very very nice, looks like the game goes for $120 on Ebay.

So now the question is are you keeping it or flipping it for a nice profit?

Interesting game. I never heard of it before.

probably a little less, unless it is complete (there was a bigger outer box and some other stuff, i believe).

What do you mean she couldn't find it online? Was she going to charge something near online prices?

Flip it to buy more games.

The stack behind her had no prices yet.
