CAGiversary!
Backstory:
I saw on their store locator that a gamestop 8 miles from work had a copy of Rez. This morning (yes, I was dumb) I called in and asked if they had it in store, since I didn't want to drive all the way there and waste a lunch break. The lady put me on hold for a while, then said they probably just sold the last one yesterday. I thought she sounded kind of shady. I called another Gamestop within a 20 mile radius that said they had it and the guy on the phone practically laughed at me.
Not wanting to give up, I went to the Gamestop 8 miles away on my lunch break, looked everywhere for Rez, didn't have it, but I did find a Valkyrie Profile in mint condition with case and manual for $49.99 so I picked that up. At the counter, I asked the guy if they had Rez. He was about to say he didn't, but another guy working there came in, overheard me and said, "Yeah, I just traded that in this morning." Then, he rummaged through a drawer and found it, but I guess another employee (probably the one who told me it wasn't here) was trying to reserve it because it had a post it with a name on it. The employee who brought it in said, "Didn't you call this in?" I don't remember speaking to a guy on the phone, but said yes anyway. He asked for the first letter of my name and I definitely didn't give it over the phone, so no way I could have reserved it. Luckily, my name and whoever reserved it had a name that started with L, so I ended up getting it anyway.
So, I walked out with a mint and complete Rez ($39) and Valkyrie ($49) profile. I couldn't believe my luck. I thought I was going to get run over my a truck to balance it out.
Prices are before the 10% gamestop card, which I did use. The store also had a preowned Zone of Enders (ps2) for $7.99 but I didn't know if it was good, so I left it there if anyone wants to pick it up.
