A month ago I saw a gamecube for $8. I passed on it, came back a day later and it was gone.

I've got one already actually It's just the principle of the thing!

I'm in pawn shops all the time delivery crap, I wish I had the time to take a look around.

-Note to self, Punch in break while your in there, you might get lucky.

All of my pawn shop finds, were found in great condition. Disc are either not scratched or lightly scratched and all appropriate dics were available. Cases are not broken or cracked.

On my birthday one year, I found a black version of FF7 for $3.99, but no manual.

One the same day, I found a black FF8($3.99) and a GH Silent Hill($7.99) at two different pawn shops.
I have found a factory sealed copy of Front Mission (PSO) for less than $5 but passed on it.
A working black Gameboy Micro $20.
Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max (PSP) $10
Call of Duty: Wafare Moblized (DS) $10
WarioWare:Smooth Mooves $15. This was when Gamestop starting charging $40 for a used copy.

Dante's Inferno disc only for the xbox for $2 (decent enough condition), Street Fighter IV arcade stick (the regular one) with the box and all the little stuff that comes with it for $40 out the door, and just yesterday I found Fear 3 for the PS3 for $10 out the door, I think I saw Killzone 3 there, but since the manager was there the guy said that I'd have to wait until today, so I'll go by there and pick that up too.

my local pawn shops are terrible now. all of them are basing their prices off of "online" prices. A used copy of mw2 for 39.99? no thanks.

I stopped in a somewhat remote pawn on Saturday and was excited to see SNES games, except they had priced them 'based on ebay'.

Why can't people understand that if they want ebay prices they need to sell on ebay?

I highly doubt that the yellowed SNES they had priced at $90 was based on ebay, though.

Do not understand this basing the price off ebay. I haven't seen that in any of the pawn shops in town or the surrounding suburbs (Denver), probably because they know it won't fly. On a separate and more appropriate note, I saw a gold Zelda DS Lite at a pawn shop but it was for 90...alas. I'd love to get it but I'm not sure if it's worth it at that price.

don't you guys know that if its priced a dollar or two less than gamestop's used price you're getting one heck of a deal?!?!?!?

lol

Mine use to have some awesome deals until they started checking ebay and got a guy that actually knows about games before that they had Resident Evil 5 2 weeks after it was released for 15 bucks. They got Brink around 2 weeks after it was released and it was 30 which wasn't that great of a deal. They price about every ps3/360 game for 15-25 anymore. If its newer its around 30. Use to be 20 at most for a game and I could usually get it for 15 bucks if it was priced for 20.

I was in one PS yesterday and kind of grimaced at the prices and the guy took offense, telling me that they have great prices, half off the local walmart price! Sheesh.

I don't see the ebay pricing either, and there's been a mass dumping of PS2 at the two stores that charge 3/$10 on last gen stuff. Picked up Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance 1 and 2 for 3.33 each

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood mint for xbox for $10 and another copy of Dead Space 2 with the online pass and the DAII code for another $10.

Donkey Kong Country Returns $10 :0

Hit the jackpot today

Store 1: Resident Evil 2, 3, Code Veronica X and Metal Gear Solid Twin Snakes for the Gamecube (the resident evil's are far more rare on gamecube, even code veronica); $12 for all 4.

Store 2:
CoD WaW for PS3, Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 3 GOTY out the door for $15. Good day.

Went back to pick up DCKR mentioned above and found Super Mario Sunshine (PC), Mario Party 7 with the mic (BL), and Animal Crossing with the memory card (PC) for 3.33 each. Now I have some complete, good condition copies I can trade out for BL coverarts I find down the road at GS.

Nice find on the GCN Resident Evils. I've been keeping an eye out for them but only have 1.

I got Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 yesterday for 9 bucks. Seems to be a good price after I checked ebay/used games at amazon.

Somehow I managed to find all 3 GCN RE games at like $8-$10 each at a half price books. Usually they watch like hawks for uncommon stuff they can mark up like that.

Final Fantasy 6 (gba) for 6 bucks. Now to see if it works. They also had Darkstalkers for the PSP for 8 but I figured I could find it cheaper elsewhere.

Picked up FF9 and Anthologies for 1.99 each at a local shop a few days ago. Perfect since my gf wanted 9 and anthologies for a while now.
