Damn. Not the stacks of clearanced ones at Kmart. I may have to dig through the GS xbox bin to get one for my cousin.

Tampa pawn finds seem pretty easy right now, I have a friend who has gotten 3 Final Fantasy VIIs between two of the same pawn shops since I left.

I have gotten 2 FFVIIs since you left. I dont have a Monopoly. Remember BGA? I haven't even BEEN pawn hopping is 7 weeks. Cash has been short. These finds are just random stops. The flea Market is being better to me than pawns right now.

Picked up:

Silent Hill 2
Silent Hill 3
$20

Mario Tennis
1.99

Mario Party 2-$7.50
SSB-$7.50
Steambot Chronicles-$4
Wiimote-$13

Yup, That was the deal, one of the "Not for Resale" games that was in a Gold Kit. I'm still giddy. Yeah I know I'm a loser.

Harvest Moon Back to Nature $1.99

despite the ebay price, this will stay in my collection

Had a pretty good run at my local shops

3 PS2 Network Adapters w/o disc
$20

Bioshock LE
$15

Zelda Twilight Princess

I also found a huge used book store that I had no idea about. Was really overpriced on alot of stuff, but had an incredible used selection.

Karaoke Revolution Country w/2 Mics
$20
Rez
$4.45
Beyond Good and Evil
$7.95

Lastly, lucked out on a Orange Box penny guide at Best Buy.

I had no money today, so I couldn't buy these games:

CoD4 (360)-$18
Mass Effect-$13
Oblivion (360)-$13

Stopped by a few pawns today, got

Disgaea 3 PS3 Complete - $15
Battle Colliseum D.N.O (DBZ-Naruto-One Piece) NGC Import Complete - $8

Traded in 15 .01 guides today at the pawn shop and in return got

Guitar Hero Aerosmith (complete/mint)
Tactics Ogre Knights of the Lodis (cart only)

I think I made out pretty well for .15

I've been looking around town for deals and I totally realized something. I have been forgetting to check the local pawn shop. I should look in there sometime this coming week.

You've GOT to let us know the name of the pawn shop (I pray that it's a chain!)

^Chain prices are completely different.

There are 3 EZ cash pawns within 5 miles of me. One prices all last gen at $10, all current gen $15, doesn't take older games, and all games have to be perfect condition and complete.

Another sells games at various prices (mostly based on ebay) and takes any condition of games, and any gen.

The best one prices all games at $4, takes any condition and any generation. (this includes new games!)

Stopped by two family owned pawn shops by me and picked up

Breath of Fire $9.99
Golden Sun $9.99
Growlancer Generations (2-disc) $9.95
Boom Blox $14.99

everything was nice and complete.

This was at Better than a Pawn Shop. Its not a chain just a single store. They give $1 per guide. Guitar hero and tactics ogre were both $10 and I offered both for $15 and he took it.

Starfox Adventures BL NGC
Indigo Prophecy XBX
Jedi Academy XBX
Kingdom Hearts 1 BL PS2
Kingdom Hearts 2 BL PS2

All complete, $2 a pop

WoW otherguy, that pawn shop of yours pwns

Thanks, sad thing is I turned down about 50 other games that were $2, some pretty decent, was running out of time and had just gotten 5 games at HV so I figured I was good for the day; I try not to hoard whenever possible

Got a MS brand Xbox 360 wireless network adapter this morning for $15. Recently got a Guitar Hero III complete game (no guitar) for the 360 for $5 from the same shop.

Ahh, a pawnshop thread... these places are my lifeblood. I'll save you some of the scores I've gotten previously though and just start with this week's haul. I gotta say, I'm getting a little frusterated at how easily some of you guys keep coming across FFVII... I have this weird bit of luck where I make a hitlist, and can find one of the games on it within the week(the day after I made it, I came across game #1, Fatal Frame, the very next afternoon). FFVII is basically the last one on the list, and I CANNOT for the life of me find one!

-Naruto Box Sets Volumes 1-6 for $60
-DBZ Box Sets Season 3,4,5 $30.00
-Mario Kart 64/Perfect Dark/Banjo Kazooie for $3 each
-Ico(Mint condition which is always a perk) $5
-Metroid II and Castlevania Legends for $3

There was also a 3D0 console with like 10 CIB games there too for $60.00, but I just had to pass. I think I might need to drive out to one of the other pawn shops, I haven't been there in a couple weeks and they always have good current-gen prices(they sell all their Xbox 360 games for $15, and I mean ALL from those crappy Burger King games to Battlefield BC)

Oh and hey, not quite pawn related, but I saw someone on here mention "play n trade". The name sounded familiar so I looked it up and there's one about an hour away from me. It seems that they have older games, but is it worth the drive price-wise? There's an independent store about 30 min away from me who sells older games, but their prices are roughly what you'd get on ebay sans shipping(I believe he said he uses half.com as a pricing guideline), is that roughly what I'm looking at if I go to play-n-trade, or a bit more/less?
