Picked up Guilty Gear XX Core Plus for the wii (complete with CD soundtrack) for $1.
Pretty happy about that. (Too lazy to take a pic).

Step 1: Put down the "reefer" - no one likes resin on their books.So i had $13 store credit that expired today at the Salvation Army after some tome ago i bought some sports coats to try to sell but realized there was torn seams on them when i got home. So i went today and found a $9 all in one wireless printer with ink in it (hp officejet 4620). Havent tested it yet. Wanted it because i got a cannon printer (pixma ip2702) for $2 there but i didnt like using it because it wasn't wireless and i print off either mobile or a laptop.
then i found this book which i planned on trading in to AMZ for $22 before it shot to $28(https://www.amazon.com/dp/0890871957/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_t096ub1BWFAQA) then i decided to try my hand on ebay after seeing second hand prices. Up for $200 OBO honestly is probably take much less. It his some spine wear and a name wrote on the first page in pen (all with detailed pictures in my listing) any suggestions trying to get the ink off?
Do you just walk in the stores with a camcorder out?
Thanks for the info and my username is a old pseudonym that i decided not to drop after I actually did drop the reefer years agoStep 1: Put down the "reefer" - no one likes resin on their books.
Step 2: Things are not "wrote" they are written. - repeat that in your head 3 times
Step 3: You have to decide if it is worth trying to remove.
If the paper is glossy, you can try a "polymer marker" - they are white. There are also "pen erasers" from the old school that are hard and grey. They work like sandpaper, so they will wear off some of the paper.
I've heard that acetone could work, but I would avoid anything liquid based.
I checked out your listing. I would just leave the name. You have detailed the personalization and it seems like the book is being purchased as a reference, rather than a collectable. That ding in the corner is much more significant to a collector.
Hope that helps
BTW: polymer "eraser"...IDK why I typed "marker". I corrected my op.Thanks for the info and my username is a old pseudonym that i decided not to drop after I actually did drop the reefer years ago
when I hit my local savers it usually just electronics and toys where I browse for games. They are usually up front in bags but it is not very often I see them... and I go to my local lds run second hand shop and usually in glass case for 5 a pop on every game. I'm more then happy to keep a eye out for games for you. Maybe you could friend employees don't be afraid to ask which I don't (should start) you could also ask friends and neighbors if they have stuff from their kids. Also Game Stores online. Lukiegames estarland jj games and dk oldies are some of my favorites. Give me a list of games you like. Im planning on garage sailing a ton this summer if I get a carWhere do you guys find the cartridge based games at your local Goodwill? I've been hunting for a long, long time now, and I've never seen a single cart based game anywhere besides the glass case (Not very often at all, and always overpriced), I have a feeling I'm not looking in the right spots, because I doubt that they haven't had ANY in more than a year or longer.
Yea, I've had some luck at smaller thrift stores around here, they tend to get more of the older stuff out on the shelves, but the only stores really local to me are a couple of goodwills and some tiny thrifts that never have anything gaming related, I've scored one time on a decent NES lot at a garage sale, but I never find anything pre-1999 or so at the thrifts. I've built up a collection of at least 1000 disc based games and only have found less than 30 cart based games in the wild... and no cart based consoleswhen I hit my local savers it usually just electronics and toys where I browse for games.

I think a lot of people hoard games like me so they don't pop up in the wild you could try shopgoodwill. I have not used it yet. utah also have a lot of vintage video game store with carts and what not. I would be more then happy to mail you a few carts for free of charge if I find descent games. I love to share the wealth. anything for a fellow gamer. Anything pre 1999 is hard to find because of eBay my cousin would find tons back in the day but unfortunately his wife gave away his storage of games.Yea, I've had some luck at smaller thrift stores around here, they tend to get more of the older stuff out on the shelves, but the only stores really local to me are a couple of goodwills and some tiny thrifts that never have anything gaming related, I've scored one time on a decent NES lot at a garage sale, but I never find anything pre-1999 or so at the thrifts.

I'm hoping that the yard sale season is kind to me, my sleep schedule was not yard sale friendly last year due to working evenings, so I really only went out 5 or 6 times over the year.
Most Goodwill stores don't have prices similar to mine. I've only ever seen $0.49 DVDs at central North Carolina stores. The coastal NC Goodwill stores charge a base of $0.99 and usually custom price any video games. I think the vast majority of console games brought to Goodwill end up going to ShopGoodwill.com - it's pretty crazy that the stores near me don't seem to participate in that.I found starfox asault for 5 dollars disc only at my local D.I. for Gamecube. And found Excite Truck wii 2007 for 3 dollars at Savers. Disc only but came with a wii sports insert. I need to go to goodwill once I get a car this summer. I've been once invmy state but have had good luck in CO.
Mine don't either and we have the two different goodwill districts. Different pricing, coupons, can't use you card at some of them. All of them are 2.99 DVDs IIRC.My Goodwills don't price their stock like that.
I ran into that only with cds lol. They put some out there and they don't have anything in them. They're even trying to sell an old phonebook.Got a copy of Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare for the Xbone today, $10. The case is broken but it wasn't a bad deal as far as I'm concerned.
My local goodwill isn't a reliable source of gaming stuff - they have a good deal now and then, but usually it's either overpriced junk or cases with no game. I can usually find something else that's a good price, like today I also paid $10 for a suitcase that retails at $90.
I talked to the mgr at my local goodwill in WA and he told me that anything cartridge based gets sent to the warehouse for sale on the goodwill auction site, They have been doing this for the last few years.Where do you guys find the cartridge based games at your local Goodwill?

Nope cause I have it already in my collection and I didn't want to pay $6 for it.@postaboy, did you get the Silent Hill 4 (XBOX)?
Depending one how deep it is, it may be able to be buffed out. I've fixed a few like that using my bench buffer.God Dammit. I saw Rumble Roses at GW but it freaking got the ring of death on it.
What kind of bench buffer? and where can I get one? Can it fix scratches too and make it mint?Depending one how deep it is, it may be able to be buffed out. I've fixed a few like that using my bench buffer.
I have this one, except mine's orange:What kind of bench buffer? and where can I get one? Can it fix scratches too and make it mint?
I'm saving up for this http://www.amazon.com/JFJ-Easy-Universal-Repair-Machine/dp/B000RBE4B8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1426281073&sr=8-2&keywords=disc+repair
I'm not sure if its worth it.

It takes a bit of practice to do it right, so if you go this route, practice on crappy junk discs first.
