Where'd you leave those behind?
 
I left it cause i already have those games, as for flipping it, the profit will be only a couple dollars (time, packing it, and fees, not worth it to me). Its at the goodwill off Brand Blvd in glendale
 
Almost picked up a 360 High School Musical Dance pad at my local Savers but couldn't really think of what the heck I'd do with it . . . only sports titles otherwise.
 
Watchmen Trade Paperback

few bent pages, 1 cm tear on 1 page

53 cents

dunno if worth anything but stupid cheap for reading
 
First non game item in awhile. $3- Casio CFX-9800G color graphing calculator. Doesnt look like too many people want these but I should be able to sell it for more than $3.

Probably worth $4-$5 on eBay. 100x better than the movie though. Definitely worth a read.

I just want to echo this, the graphic novel is so much better than the movie.
 
Got two Justifier light guns for the Genesis in great shape for 5 bucks today.

That thrift store has had a steady stream of Genesis accessories and CIB Genesis games lately fU:
 
non gaming related but i got a pair of never worn black hi top converses for 4 dollars. and a brand new in box pair of nike air force ones air jordans for 15.
 
I'm pretty happy with this score today, NES system with dogbone controller, Super Mario 3 was in the system $19.99, also found Mike Tyson's Punchout for $4.99. I'm keeping the system for a backup but will probably flip the dogbone and the super mario 3 since I already have them

A while ago I went to a Goodwill probably a half hour away from the Goodwill in our town and I found a Wario Land for Virtual Boy for 50 cents!
 
[quote name='Animal7390']why'd you leave those behind?[/QUOTE]I would've passed on FF8/9 for $8 each, they're worth about that much or less. Should've grabbed LoD though.

You're prices are a bit off on those. I sold both recently for $21 and $18 respectively.
 
Who likes Dungeons & Dragons? I do!!! Walked into a thrift store and lo and behold. Someone apparently got sick of Dungeons & Dragons. All of these tapletop books cost a total of $114 out the door. There's some good shit in here. The stuff at the end are modules and maps with no title spines and various inserts and DM screens. It amazes me what some people donate.

[quote name='kube00']What is the bundle worth?[/QUOTE]

Not really sure yet. It's gonna take some time to sell. If I'm lucky I'll make a few hundred off the investment. A few of the books are valuable and will cover the total cost. Then it's a matter of making a profit on the rest. The Rules Cyclopedia goes for a bit and the 4 volume Encyclopedia Magica is pretty valuable. There is also a rare Lod of the Rings supplement in the stack.

I wouldn't have picked those up for $8 each either, $3 each would be more my speed.

Good god this thread is awesome. I haven't really found anything too interesting at my Goodwill. All there ever is for games are older sports games for PC.

Anyone ever have any luck shopping at Lily Pad? There's a Goodwill and a Lily Pad about 20 minutes from me. I might stop by tomorrow thanks to this thread.
 
[quote name='chronoserge456']People pay ridiculous amounts on Jordan's. Amazing find yoyo.[/QUOTE]
Now I'm annoyed that I turned down the idea of buying an old pair of Air Jordans at a Salvation Army about 20-25 minutes from me about a month ago.

I think they were about $6 or so.:whistle2:#
