Picked up a PS Vita bundle today for $410:

- PS Vita Wi-Fi/3G
- 4 Games: Modnation Racers, Uncharted: GA, Wipeout, HSG
- 16 GB Card

Apparently Sony was giving these out at promotional events--think it's a steal even though it's missing the free PSN game and DataConnect pass (16 GB vs. 8 GB makes up for it).

Haven't posted in awhile (haven't found anything decent on CL recently), but I had a humdinger of a score today:

-Xbox 360 slim 4gb
-Kinect
-All power cables, etc.. including the audio adaptor, and an HDMI
-3 wireless controllers
-Energizer recharging station w/ rechargeable batteries
-Turtle Beach X11's
-Games: Modern Warfare 3, GTA Episodes from Liberty City, Skyrim, BF Bad Co. 2, Dance Central, Hasbro Family Game Night Fun Pack (FGN 2&3), Kinect Sports Season 2, Sims 3, NFS Hot Pursuit, CoD Black Ops, Tiger Woods '11, Kinect Adventures, Gears of War Triple Pack, Medal of Honor, Battlefield 3 LE.

...All for $300. I should be able to pretty easily recoup the money pretty easily from the hardware, controllers, charger & headset, so I'm thinking about running all of the games up to BB for a quick and easy free Vita. Should get at least about $250 (w/ bonus) for those.

Bought Final Fantasy 13-2 Collector's Edition in like new condition for $40.

Bought KOTOR II for $4. Also was able to pick up Marvel vs Capcom 2 for $10 awhile ago. That was their asking price, I didn't even bother negotiating down on the price since I thought those prices were a steal!

I'm looking at rarityguide.com and it doesn't seem any of it is too ridiculously high valued. But, he also has betas. I think obviously a realistic offer will be in the four digit range, but how much should I offer to get a counter instead of a laugh?

Just picked up a YLOD 40GB PS3 for $50 today. Not the greatest deal, but it's worth the gamble of getting it working, since I just recently sold my BC 80GB for $270 and the fiance was too happy about selling the bedroom PS3.

UPDATE: And after trying it to half-assed way, with a hairdryer, and letting it cool for an hour, it booted right up. When it YLOD's again, I'll open it and do it the proper way.

Was happy to get a SNES Mini (legit, not a bootleg one) for $65 with a set of games and two controllers this weekend.

Games were mostly junk but 2 copies of Super Mario World, one Donkey Kong Country, and Super Mario All-Stars to sell and bring the cost of the SNES down.

My snes was on the ropes so i was glad to have a newer, nice working one. I like how little space it takes up vs the original model too.

Not really a huge deal, but I picked up a bunch of Nintendo fan club magazines, the first like 28 volumes of Nintendo Power, a few strategy guides (like Mario 2, Zelda Oot, etc), and some other mags for 160.

It was a little rough for me to pay that much for them, but I have always wanted to get the first volume of NP and it seems to go usually for like 40 - 60 on eBay. I will probably read it on my day off and then put it into a frame of somesort and hang it up on the walls by the handbills, marquees, and gashapon signs decorating the walls.

I don't feel to horrible for spending the money since I did really well recently with some vhs tapes. Spent about 350 and got back about 1500 so far for about 1/2 of them.

Do people really buy VHS tapes or were they just uncommon or something?

I didn't take pics of this score, but I snagged a moderately used Nintendo DSi in decent shape (no charger, no stylus) and 17 games (game chip only) for $40 from a kid on Craigslist. He asked $50, and I actually had the balls to talk him down somehow. Games included Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors 2, New Super Mario Bros., Pokemon SoulSilver, Zelda: Spirit Tracks, Kirby Superstar Ultra, Call of Duty: Black Ops, and several other games worth between 5-$10 each. Quickly flipped the system, SoulSilver, and New Super Mario Bros. for $75 cash, and am in the process of cashing out on the remaining games.

They were rare ones. I sold one for about $150, and then a good number for anywhere from 30 - 70, and then a bunch of 15 to 25 ones.

And after letting it sit for awhile, it lasted about 5 minutes before YLOD'ing on me. I just did the proper fix and it seems to be working great now *knock on wood*

I picked up a Nintendo Deluxe set with like 10 boxed games and a gameboy for $85. I kind of feel like I over paid since the box didn't have the Styrofoam. On the other hand it came with a copy of Metroid that is ridiculously clean, so I am forcing myself to get over it.

That's a steal for $15. Nice find!

After 2 days of phone and email tag, I ended up getting the follow 4 games for $10:

XBOX KOTOR
XBOX KOTOR II
XBOX Star Wars Battlefront
PS2 Final Fantasy X-2

Seemed like a solid deal.

That's a steal. I bought a lot like that recently but I paid $50 and I had to talk him down.

Made another tasty little craigslist find yesterday. Got everything in both pics for $40 total.





We talked through email a bit the night before we met up. I offer him "about $40, depending on condition and game selection" for his n64 stuff (which was supposed to include 2 controllers), since he didn't want to name every game he had. Shortly before I arrive to our meeting place, he calls me and tells me he can't find the n64's controllers, but found a "Sega Saturn still in the box." I told him to bring it with the n64 stuff, and I'll buy whatever he has. We meet, I offer $35, he wants $45, we settle at $40.

I need to get an AV cable to verify that the Saturn works, but it powered on at least. It's nearly CIB, but missing the original av cable and the case for the daytona game. Still, $40 for everything was a solid deal. Have never played a Saturn before, can't wait to give it a go. Will deal the n64 games and system; pretty sure that's about the 15th n64 I have at the moment. At least it came with the expansion pack. I love craigslist!

^^^^ I hate you.
