nice stuff guys... i went out today and found NOTHING... hopefully some better luck tomorrow
Awesome finds!Nice find, been looking for Emerald myself. I've been eying a $40 GBA lot with 2 Pokemon games that's been sitting on Craigslist for a while, but I'm holding out for a thrift find.
Thrift 1: NES with a boatload of peripherals, and copy of Arkanoid still inside: $25
Thrift 2: Majora's Mask OST from Club Nintendo (!!) and Metroid Fusion: $1 each. Didn't that CD come out just a little while ago?
The guy who took the NES out of the glass case mentioned seeing some NES cartridges in the sorting area. I'm hoping for some staples.

Yeah they give you a card and one of those things you stick on the keychain(just like all the supermarkets and such), you just have to give them some info(name, address, number etc.). They've never ever called me or sent me anything in the mail either which is nice, unlike some rewards people who send you non stop junk. Oh and it's definitely not hooked up to my credit card, I would have been pretty hesitant to sign up if I had to do that.I didn't notice until I just looked at my fiance's receipt from yesterday. My receipt from Greensburg didn't have anything about points on it...
I'm wondering that as well, because if it's tied to your credit card, there is a massive glitch because it's showing she has a points balance of 111, 455.
But I'm assuming that's probably cumulative points for the store since they started implementing the points system.
I don't know specifics about this item but I do know there's a huge difference between "for sale for" and "sold for." Look at all the offers for most video games and you'll see some ridiculous prices. I think eBay's sold listings are a better gauge of value since that's what someone was actually willing to pay.Anyone know why this is so crazy expensive? I cannot find ANY info on it online. Looking at the prices on ebay they dont seem to be that high....maybe its just a case of idiotic amazon pricing?
It's not worth much. It took me over a year to sell a used copy for $20 on eBay. That said, a new copy will still easily clear $40 which is well worth the $6 investment. But yeah, you've got a case of idiotic Amazon pricing there.I had an interesting find today. I found a sealed copy of Ultimate Spider Man for the PC at Goodwill for $6.
Big deal right? Or so i thought until about a week ago I was looking up ps2 games on amazon. The ps2 version of this game is worth about 5 bucks...but the PC version is selling for ~$180 USED on amazon...I couldnt believe or understand it...its an even crazier coincidence that I find one just a week later at goodwill; If I hadnt checked the value I would have passed this by.

Dumb question, but is it a black-lit model? The early SP's didn't have a back light. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Boy_Advance_SPI found a Blue GBA SP today for $10 at a GW, turns out the backlight doesn't work. At a small thrift I found 2 packs of N64 plastic game cases, 3 per pack. They have banjo-kazooie on them, $.79 each.
It would still be front lit though if not.Dumb question, but is it a black-lit model? The early SP's didn't have a back light. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Boy_Advance_SP
Good day today. Got the 3 gamecube games from Savers for $5.99 a piece and the TG-16 games were technically from a flea market and did cost $20 a piece but it's amazing to ever find them locally.
Harvest moon and Animal Crossing have been around $15 to $20 for a while.Quoting my own post here, but I was just on ebay randomly and wow, since when did Gamecube games skyrocket in price so much.
Both models do. On the 001 it turns the front light on or off and on the 101 it controls the backlights brightness.I'll give the SP a second look, I thought if it had the little button on the front it was the backlit model. Thanks for the info.
Working?I found a 1998 tiger pokemon pokedex for $1 today at my local goodwill.
Working?
Went to a thrift when I went to visit family, only found two PS1 games. Road Rash 3D and Nascar 2001 for like 2 bucks each. For whatever reason I always feel like taking PS1 games no matter what it is lol.
It works, but it doesn't stay closed.Working?

I think there was foam padding in there and that was the glue that held it.I love it when stores keep lots together. My local GW would have sold it all separately. >_<
Wait, did someone squirt glue into that Gameboy case?
I found my old one of these while digging through some old stuff. Is it worth anything now?I found a 1998 tiger pokemon pokedex for $1 today at my local goodwill.
About $30 on average. I have 3 or 4 now, but I wouldn't have known they had value if not for either this thread or the yard sale thread.I found my old one of these while digging through some old stuff. Is it worth anything now?
Yeah that's it, I cut out some foam already for it, looks pretty good and holds everything together nicely now.I think there was foam padding in there and that was the glue that held it.
Nice finds, I've been meaning to play Ape Escape again someday.Stopped by a GW today after work, killing time before the girlfriend got home. Never thought I would find
$20 bucks for all of this (!) The PS1 games were all .99 cents, CIB and are all in A+ condition except Spyro 1, which was an empty case. Asked what they would do with it, girl said thorw it out and I asked if I could have it and she said yup. Star Ocean is def going in my collection. MUA 2 is missing the manual and is kind of scratched up, but it was only 2 bucks. Snakes Revenge is also a keeper, everything else is going to get traded/flipped/sold somewhere. The N64 controllers are actually in good shape, analog sticks on both are pretty tight (green more so than yellow). Very Happy with thrift store finds thus far this year
Nintendo's new Console is rumoured to be called Nintendo Fusion. But you can take with a bucket of salt. I really wish Nintendo kept up with the Graphics. Just imagine if Nintendo's Consoles were on par with Sony and Microsoft on the Graphics Level. Hot damn, that will be good. Oh well. :lol:How's this for a deal? I walked into a pawn shop about a week ago and found a couple of Wii Us (both 32GB systems) behind the glass. The original price for the systems was $210... that didn't work for me, so I asked them for the absolute least amount of money they'd take. They told me I could have one for $150, and even threw in a few extra controllers to sweeten the deal. No way I could resist that!
I realize the machine is not very popular and probably won't be supported by Nintendo for more than a couple of years. Hell, there are already rumors of a new Nintendo system in development now. However, I wanted a cheap way into the next generation and I got it. Besides, the Wii U's got some pretty cool features that I doubt we'll ever see on the Xbox One or PS4. It's got some great social features, like being able to leave notes and even simple drawings for other players. (Except those drawings can be shockingly detailed considering the drawing tool's limitations... I swear, some of these artists are cyborgs!) Also, I appreciate that the system's got Mass Effect 3, the sequel to one of my all-time favorites from the previous generation. It probably isn't quite as good as the Xbox 360 version, but it's still pretty awesome, being Mass Effect and all.
Oh yeah, I also picked up loose copies of Sonic 2 and, uh, while I was at the pawn shop. Each cost me about a buck. Normally I wouldn't buy such common Genesis games without the boxes, but Genesis games have gotten really hard to find lately. I bought because I have a sick sense of humor. (The recent dialog hack of the Super NES game called "Schmuck Fu" was my doing.)
man, I would have picked it up just because of how interesting it is to find a game like that.Today I passed on a King of Fighters 95 (for the Sega Saturn) that was only $4, but I didn't know how much it was worth and didn't want to deal with an imported game for a system I don't own.
Component cable by itself sells for $150 on EBay or Amazon. Nice.I paid $10 for the gamecube with GB player and component cable.
