Kinda crazy lucky ...
Last Friday went to a sale and spotted a GS refurb 360 box kinda off from the rest of a sale's items..
So I ask, do you have any video games??? no is the reply ... I say oh I just asked as I spotted the 360 box...
Oh that? it's broken, we need to just throw it away..
me - may I have it? (thinking the power cord has a lil value...)
So today I finally check it out... had a $5 wireless controller from last summer sale and a $5 20 gb HD also from last summer...
fire it up with alan wake ... not much hope ... and it works like a charm! and has the microsoft seal intact...
easy peasy $60 at GS tomorrow!
oh and in the tray is wipeout 2 worth at least $10 tradein
That Intelligent Qube could pay for almost all of itI was hesitant to drop that much, but I knew I'd make it back very easy
You lucky bastard! Fire Emblem Awakening looks so good so even though I didn't like it the first time I tried I want to give it another shot so I can work my way up to Awakening, and I only ever really see it for less than $25 for bootlegs or the rare mistake and about double that for complete. Luckily it has come down a lot since Awakening's release as I think a lot of people did the same thing as me and now it is beginning to cool off.fire Emblem gba/original for $2 cib a good deal?
I got that and some other Nintendo stuff all cib for $2 a piece. List later.
Nice find. I reget throwing out my system with games back thenFirst time I actually went out to yard sales for games! Found this all for $1.
So anyone know a good way to remove sharpie from a cartridge?
- Super Mario World
- Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
- Musya; The Classic Japanese Tale of Horror (sharpie on back)
- Jeapardy Deluxe Edition
- Act Raisers
- Killer Instict
Are you on the DC to Baltimore corridor? I'm NE of Baltimore which is something like a wasteland for retro games and even the presence of other collectors. I usually have to hit 20-30 houses on a Saturday to turn up finds; it's all about casting a wide net and sometimes just having dumb luck (being at the right place at the right time, etc).Nice find. I reget throwing out my system with games back then
Anyway, I hit up 3 yard sales. Only 1 had ps3 games, but I wasnt interested since I dont have a ps3 system. I did pick up the following:
Megaman tv series dvd (A hero is born and battle for the future) $5 each
Teenage mutant ninja turtles 3 blu ray movie $1
2 stuff toys $1
brand new 1995 toy biz black spiderman and 1992 xmen ice man $2 each
I didnt know that megaman had a tv series. Im not sure if it was worth it, but $5 each cant be that bad right?
I got ice man because the package said it changes color when in cold water. Im a fan of spiderman and these reminded me of the 90's show so I grab it. I wish i could find great deals on games like so many here on cag, but i guess living in the DC, VA, MD area is difficult and most of these people be asking for too much or what "ebay" is selling. I was able to talk to the guy that gave me the dvd and blu ray down to $11, which was the cheapest he was going to go. Any tips on talking prices down and finding epic video game deals?
Im in the rockville, MD area. Its good to hear from a fellow cag lol. Wish there was some cool cag that wants to hand out around here.Are you on the DC to Baltimore corridor?

Now for people you know are resellers sometimes your best bet is to do your homework and talk down the items which you know are hard to sell. Visiting a sale later in the day can help in some cases too; seller resistance tends to be broken down by the heat, even more so if their sale is in a low-traffic area.
No doubt! It saddens me they never made a Mega Man X series. It had/has the best villians. Storm Eagle anyone?I used to watch megaman. The episodes where he teamed up with megaman x were pretty sweet.
