Bought Jeep Thrills for $5. Traded it in for $6.33.

My wife went to the local Happy Harry's/Walgreens two weeks ago to get some cold medicine, and came home with a shrinkwrapped copy of Jeep Thrills for the Wii. She's always owned and driven Jeeps, and since it was only $5 she couldn't say no.

But worse than just being a very bad game, it's also extremely frustrating and difficult. So we took it to the local Gamestop on Saturday and they gave us $5.75 for it, and with the 10% bonus it came to $6.33.

Cool. What other shovelware was at walgreens.

Walgreens is always a great place to find odd stuff.

 

[Scorch]

cool?

I found Ed, Edd and Eddy season 1 at Walgreens for $5.

$1.33 isn't really an amazing flip, you should check out the flips thread.

 

[Curufinwe]

Yeah, I had a look and saw that some people have made crazy money taking advantage of places like FYE.

WalGreens selling games?

Damn. I remember seeing this one Casino game for the Xbox

At the dollar store.

Well, it's a good thing that you were able to rid yourself of a crappy game and get a small profit on top what you paid.

 

[chrisnsally]

How much $ did you spend in gas?

Hmmm, anyone know sales tax in Delaware? I think this guy is trying to pad his $1.33 profit.

 

[Link927]

Probably something about 10%, its still on 50 cents. I think it was mentioned a while back that you could find games for cheap at your local Walgreens/CVS/Longs/Etc. Never seen any at my local stores, then again, I only go when I need to pick up a quick snack or cold medicine.

Delaware has no sales tax.

Sweet. Unfortunately, you still have to live in Delaware

Says the guy living in Connecticut.

Dude that's a 26.67% return on your initial investment. Serious bling bling.

You should take that buck and buy a lotto, mega millions, or powerball ticket.

 

[darkslime]

Dude you are my ing hero!

In Delaware now though and no sales tax is FTW.

Hey, I was just going by Wayne's World. At least you can get to both Boston or NYC within an hour here, if you're into that

 

[LilPaintballer]

[CYRiX]

It was like they paid you to waste your time playing it...

I've seen various Xbox, PS1 and PS2 games at Dollar General. I think someone posted here (or maybe it was at Game Hoarders) that they found a copy of Soul Blade there for like 3 dollars. I was jealous, because I paid $2 more for a used disc only copy.

EDIT: Yeah, it was Game Hoarders, and it was $4. Still better than I paid for a crappy copy. http://www.gamehoarders.com/2008/06...ail-soul-blade-found-at-dollar-general-for-4/
