Yeah, the sales really start to dry up at the end of sept maybe beginning of october up in ny(for me at least), unless we get a warm winter like we did last year, then maybe you'll get lucky with a sale here or there during the season.

6-2-12 finds, yeah that's right. I told you I am behind!

New camera, that I still can't figure out...

Paid $1 total for the 4 N64 games:



Lady was pretty firm on price, but I paid $20 for the GC (I think...can't remember):

Notice the gameboy player. I also wanted some of the games for my collection.

Is that Xena game any good? My local game shop has the PS1 version for $4.

I enjoyed the show...15 years ago.

A so-so weekend for games (I did have a nice CD score--maybe I'll post a pic of that later)

I have to walk the dog before I hit sales. So, I had the dog with when I found these:

Paid $5 for all . . . I think the Play can go with a sys that I'm going to sell.
Another sale had these and some profitable DVDs for .50 each.

I don't know why, but I have a hard time resisting .50 games.
Suddenly, Halo is on my radar screen . . . These were $1-2 each

This is my lone cartridge find . . . not much old-school love this week.

Paid $1.50
I paid $10 for this PS2 and when I pointed out the lack of a controller she agreed to throw in the SW Battlefront

I have extra controllers ;-)
This Dreamcast was marked $20

Paid $13. The same sale had some very nice DS titles . . . Soulsilver etc. But they were marked $20 each. A few other sales had overpriced games

This sale advertised DS . . . and I didn't get there right away . . . so I was surprised to find this stuff:

Paid $22.50 for all. I was willing to go full-price for the games but got the sys for $10. Was told the Wiimote didn't work but got it anyway for .50.

The Wiimote works at a short distance but gets jumpy as you back away. Anyone know a cure? I will likely put it in with the system I'm going to sell.

Haven't posted in a while but just moved and starting to love this new city.

First up on Friday paid $4




Saturday paid $0.50

Hit two sales while I was out today, picked up the following:

Sale #1 for $15:
- N64 with Cables (No Controllers)
- Pokemon Stadium (Cart Only)
- Nascar 2000 (CIB)
- Ken Griffey Jr Major League Baseball
- Kobe Bryant in NBA Courtside
- Cruis'n USA
- WCW/NWO Revenge
- WWF Warzone
- Dead Rising Platnium Hits

All Games were in mint condition. I am just going to keep a few of the games that came with the N64 and resell the console for a profit.

Sale #2 for $5:
- Disc Only of MW3 for PS3

Promptly traded in the MW3 for $31.50 of store-credit at Bestbuy on my way home.

shit man, great finds

Damn man. I'd flip my shit if I found Quarantine at a sale. I've been wanting that for a long time.

Nice finds deadstranger. Haven't seen any .hack yet, though I do know to look out for them. I only ever find trash ps2 games, sports, and shooters.

Though I like your Zelda find better. Ive picked up several of those, never found one complete with the manual.

Slowdives GC bundle reminds me of the sh1t ton of hrs I played Dave Mirra 2 and also Mat Hoffman 2. Id buy a new version of those games or hell even an HD remake.

Crap i need to hit some yard sales I would love to pick-up my son a DS or DSLite used at one to see how he does with it before we jump on a new DSi XL for his b-day or x-mas gift.

The LOTR DVDs actually still do really well. I sold my set a few weeks ago for $40

Thanks for the tips fellas. I did my research and the slipcover that holds all 3 could also be ordered separately, unfortunately the offer expired oh...7 years ago.

Was it free? (maybe when you bought the 3rd set). I got one in the mail for my set--hard to believe that I paid for it because I'm so cheap. Funny it came in a tight fitting box and was very, very light. A few people bitched because they slit the slipcase when they opened the box.

Well, I checked the Return of the King box and the card for it was still in there. Apparently it was just $3 for the shipping.

Anyway I think I'll hold onto these until I inevitably find a great deal on the blu-rays. Just a matter of time right?

$3 sounds about right . . . I probably figured it was worth it to increase the value of the whole set.

I remember that when I bought the Fellowship set it contained a voucher to get a ticket to Two Towers . . . which I used. Is that in your set?

I won't get the Blu-ray set unless I can get it for very cheap . . . in which case I would flip it anyway :-)

I just don't have time to sit down and watch them.

Really thin pickings....need to travel a bit...

Fri
3 gamecube swars games complete $3
(bored buy...)

Sat
PSP 1001 with charger paperwork and complete lumines for $5 (great condition and battery)

Ha, yeah, it's in there. Wow.

And I hear you, it would take a long-ass time to actually watch all of them. It's been a few years though, so maybe I'll make an event of it this weekend. And then maybe at black friday or something I can trade 'em up for the blu-rays.

I don't know about anyone else, but I thought it was pretty bad. Throwing the little ring around was fun at first, but it got old really fast. Might be worth $4, though, especially if you're a fan.
