GS stopped taking PS2 games June 1.I went to find some flippables since I will be going to Gamestop tomorrow to get Injuctice.
Got PS2 Odin Sphere for $5
and Skyrim legendary Edition for 360 for $10
Both are mine and complete.
Too bad the Skyrim is for 360 though.
I know, but it's still a nice game for the collection.GS stopped taking PS2 games June 1.
Is it a MIM or American? Its not one of those crappy squires is it?Boom!
Scored today!
DS Pokemon SoulSilver $6 (gonna try to keep this one)
PS3 Rock Band 3 $5
The biggest find was not gaming related, but I got a new guitar.
Fender Stratocaster $150 I gotta check the year, but it's in very good shape.
They didn't offer me any price break, so I think it may have been mispriced. Not a big deal, since my usual dude sold it to me. Now I just have to explain to my wife why we need ANOTHER Strat.
Nah it's a real deal Mexican. I took it to the shop to get it set up, have those guys check the SN and see if it's a standard or what, and to honestly see if it had any damage I couldn't see. I pick it up Monday, I'll share a pic then.Is it a MIM or American? Its not one of those crappy squires is it?
Blue case. UK artwork.The Dark Alliance 2 cover looks off.
go grab that copy of Haunting Grounds and Grandia! I would be glad to find a CIB copy of HG for that price.Stopped in a couple out of the way shops today. One of them is a great place for vintage stuff, the guy has a bunch of sealed PS1 games, not sure if it's a reasonable price, but he wants $100 for his FF7. He also has a Haunting Ground for $30. He also had a Grandia 2 for the Dreamcast, again, not something I am interested in, so I don't know the value. All of his stuff is decently priced though, so he may be in line. I got a sealed Pokemon Heartgold off him last year for $15, my first stop in.
Too bad I didn't have any cash to talk bigger deals. For someone who prices using ebay, I didn't do bad in his bargain bin:
Shadow Hearts PS2 Complete $5
Fallout Brotherhood of Steel PS2 Complete $3
Glory of Heracles DS Cart only $3
Rhapsody DS Cart only $5
Rock Band 3 PS3 $5 (my 4th copy of this game in the past month for under $8, I guess people just think it's shit since it's RB)
The PS2 games are in decent shape, but the Fallout game may need to be resurfaced. Good thing I found a guy at the flea market who will do that stuff for me.
I need to stop going to the pawns.
LOL I just looked up what Haunting Ground is going for on eBay. I always wanted to play it, and I am for sure going back Monday to get it. Luckily the shop has finicky hours of 12-4 on Saturday, so I hope to get it. It is weird that a PS2 horror game has eluded me this long. I have played or owned just about every one, no matter how shitty.go grab that copy of Haunting Grounds and Grandia! I would be glad to find a CIB copy of HG for that price.
You got it good down below the Mason Dixon line. Pawn Shops in Pittsburgh are filled with overpriced games that have no real value and stolen laptops.
well, sir you certainly have a nice situation down there. Anymore, the second hand market is just foul in the PGH area. GW marks up everything, pawn shops are few and far between with no gaming deals, and craigslist is just spam of people with post like "I BUY YER VEDEOH GAMEZ CALLZ ME TODAH DOONUT WAIST YER TIME WIF A YARDSALEZ CELLS TOO ME NOWZ" en ass smokersLOL I just looked up what Haunting Ground is going for on eBay.

In the Charleston area I got 5 decent shops, 1 shitty one. The 2 I went to today are just out of my way, and usually not worth going to for flippables. The other 3 are $10 or less for any PS3/360/Wii/DS game. I have made a shitload off of them. That is pretty much how I have funded my gaming the past 2 years. After I got married, my budget went from my entire paycheck after bills to maybe $20-$30 a month. I just wait and buy stuff a year after it comes out anymore, but being able to triple my dough on eBay helps me a lot. Thank god for KV Pawn shops, and their employees selling me Rock Band 3 for $5.
There are so many pawns in Huntington/Ashland I can't even go to all of them, plus it's further away. I have been to a few, but they were hit or miss on games.
I am going back for Haunting Ground tomorrow. I'm going to look a little more into their stuff too.well, sir you certainly have a nice situation down there.

definitely go pick up both, you could flip grandeia on ebay or here. that's a decent dreamcast game that is worth it! And I like dHaunting Grounds, it is a good game that was overlooked by many. def worth the trip back!
dood, so jealous. that is quite a haul today and not just because of HG.$30 mint and complete. The guy would not budge on price, and I said no problem. He was even cool enough to not slather some big stick all the way across it. Just had a corner holding it down. I didn't buy this to flip, I actually bought this to play because I heard it is badass.
I may have more pawn shop finds later...found a 4 for $20 deal, but can only find 1 thing worth getting.
Edit: I did hit up the 4 for $20 deal.
PS3:
Saints Row 4
Metro Last Light
Dragon Age Origins: Awakenings (the expansion pack, this is for keep)
Wii:
New Super Mario Bros Wii.
Not bad for $20. All in all a good day for $50. Too bad I am keeping the big one.
I have been rocking the past 2 or 3 weeks. It's feast or famine on pawns really, but right now I am McLovin' it. I am really surprised I can find decent games, because I see people cashing tax return checks at every store I stop in. I usually never find newer (less than a year old) releases at pawn shops, but between semi-valuable stuff and Rock Band 3, I am on a roll.dood, so jealous. that is quite a haul today and not just because of HG.
that sucks about the shadow hearts not working though. hopefully you can get it working!
keep looking man. If I find anything music worth while, I can pick it up for ya (see thirft store thread for recent pick ups btw)I have been rocking the past 2 or 3 weeks.

I am STILL not able to find anything at a thrift shop though. I'd take a decent T-Shirt at this point. I'm not even looking for something flippable, I'd take a cool CD or DVD at this point.
Haunting Ground is a badass game, BTW.
