Im going to guess that that is a massively wishful thinking price. If you have no need for the money though quickly at somewhat closer to what it is really worth, just toss it up at whatever until some collector hops on and purchases it.

Yeah. I'm pretty sure that was a fluke price and no way of telling if the buyer even paid for that auction or not I suppose. But I also kinda based the higher end number on the Video Game Price Charting website, which had the $160+ price listed for new/sealed.

I know someone here mentioned to put it up on the trade forum at Nintendo Age or some such site and just wait and hope. If I could find a listing for it on Amazon I'd probably toss it up there too.

Oh. I didn't click on the link. What did that one sell for? I just looked at ebay on my phone and saw one listed at $199 brand new right now.

$168

Considering that was a sold price with 9 bids, I'd say it wasn't wishful thinking. That is a genuinely rare game (it was made for asthmatic kids, I think, either that or this was the psuedo-sequel to Captain Novolin, which was intended for diabetics), IATCG could easily get $200 for his copy if he posts as a BIN.

The one I linked to sold for $128. It's a game for diabetic kids according to the packaging. Hopefully if I go out of town for work tomorrow I can finally plunk down some cash on a digital camera and I'll snap a pic of it n put it up on eBay with a BIN.

Unfortunately the corners of the shrinkwrap aren't there and the box is worn on each corner plus the remnants of the sticker from the thrift store is on the front of the shrinkwrap, so I'd definitely need to try removing the leftover sticker and note the worn corners on the box in any auction I'd do.

As I'm sure you've likely heard, Goo Gone will make that sticker go bye-bye. Just be sure to clean the area afterward 'cause it smells.

I would not use goo gone anywhere near printed cardboard. It's just as likely to make the ink run and ruin the box as clean the sticker residue off.

I'd just do your best to remove the residue gently with a credit card or something and leave it to the buyer to screw it up after he buys it.

At Savers

Pokedex - $3
Quickshot - Marked $3 but it's tag color was half off today so $1.50

I saw the Pokedex in the toy section (which I always look in since finding a bag of N64 games mixed in once) and I knew it was probably worth something. Almost 30 on Amazon.



Salvation Army

$3.99 each

They actually had more video games at this place than I think I've ever seen at a thrift store. This particular SA is sort of out of the way in a crappy area so it figures. They also had some other SNES games in the boxes. Nothing amazing but I may go back since it seems anything SNES CIB is worth $3.99.

Passed on a slim PS2 with no cables or controllers for $15 at a goodwill. Also at a record store there was a bin with an original Xbox, Fat PS2 with memory card, network adapter and misc controllers. He said make an offer for all of it, while I was thinking he said I could have it all for $20. I'm curious if there's a game in either system. Maybe I'll go back and try to get it for $10.

Overall a good day though.

Well, as long as the cardboard isn't exposed near that spot (he did say it's sealed), then it'll be fine. Just dab some GG on a rag or paper towel and gently rub everything away. Of course, if there is a risk of actually coming in contact with the cardboard, then don't bother because it can indeed remove the print (especially on older boxes).

Also, don't use it on clothes. My grandma found that out the hard way when trying to get gum out of one of my shirts a few years back. The say you can use it on clothing, but it bleached my shirt.

found these today
Star Wars Battlefront II xbox $6

Oh hey, I totally forgot to mention that I grabbed Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego? and four Redwall audiobooks for $2.87 each at Salvation Army.

What timing on finding the old Beavis & Butthead game in a thrift store, since new episodes are starting tomorrow night on MTV.

I finally saw the clips from the new season, and I couldn't even believe how good they were.

I just hope they put the episodes up on MTV.com, since we no longer have MTV due to going to a lower tier of programming with Comcast and MTV/VH1/etc were some of the channels they got rid of from the old lineup.

I loved that game.....but then i lost and/or broke it.......It was fun though.

Which version did you play? I was tired, so I neglected to mention that I was referring to the board game. I used to love the PC game as a kid, though. I've got a lot of good memories of going to the computer lab during school and getting to choose between Oregon Trail, Carmen Sandiego, Math Blaster, or a couple of other games. We also had Dragon's Lair on laserdisc. Oh man, those were the days.

found an ati Halflife:uplink disk with a CS code on it, inputed it on steam and bam, 50 cents for the half life pack.

Gears Of War 3- $40

Had a nice ring around the disc but I deep buffed it twice in my work's $2300 disc buffer. Havent had any problems through the first Act.

I ment on the PC. That game was so fun....*nostalgia activate*

Well, I stopped at a GW tonight and came away with a few random things for the family and a 360 wireless wheel. Woo hoo!
