The old B1G1 sale appears to be over and is being replaced with a 75% off sale; plus the 10% off for your Game Informer card comes off the original (and the the dicounted price), makes the deal closer to 85% off. It also appears that the old N64 and PS1 games are being consolidated in select stores, so many stores will not have any games and some will have a ridiculous amount. YMMV and good luck.

[quote name='arthur3d']yea im not trying to make millions off this shit...i know that.
i want to break even...that way i keep the games i like...im a game collector..and i enjoy all the games i own...(i dont keep games in closet and watch mold grow on there sealed wrapers..and wait 20 years and ebay them...thats sickl) i play all my shit. I hope i dont end up with a box to look at....eek....but thanks for the advice.....cough*cough*not horder just a collector /end cough (fuc that rhymes)

BUT, if you WERE to end up with a HUGE box of games you bought but couldn't sell, imagine the hit in your wallet? That's where our hoarding differs, in that I spent .01 a guide(sometimes was just given them) and most of that time, I had a friend(ex gf who was unemployed at the time) who drove me around to ALOT of FAR OFF stores looking for guides. She did it under the premise that we would share any profit and we have, though it has not be quite as profitable as we had hoped.
And actually, we later on found out that most guides don't hold value beyond 3 weeks past the pennied date. So, now she doesn't even want to hear about how many I've sold or not and I'm actually FINALLY sick of watching them sit here already, so I may just throw out or sell them even cheaper on here pretty soon.
Just wanna give you a quick heads up, so you don't end up making a far more expensive mistake of trying to Ebay all those games and going past the 7 day return period on used games. Try and list a couple of each NOW, with a 2 day auction. If none sell or do phenomenally well, then you have your answer and you still have TIME to return those other games before you're left with a box of games collecting dust and a big CC bill.
Oh and before I DO forget, I AM grateful to ALL of the CAGs who have bought guides from me or that I've traded with. There are some GREAT fellow gamers on this site, who probably WILL groan when they see your OP and say 'why couldn't I find some of those in MY stores??'.

Since I found this site(albeit while looking for 'cheap' games on the net, which I now know to be a myth alot of times), I've changed my buying habits drastically. I look at it as 'why should I buy ONE $50 game, when I can have 10 PROVEN $5 games that were ONCE $50'.
Best deal ever from watching this site STILL has to be my $10 PSone/LCD combo(thanks to, I believe, Briansraregames for that info).
Just don't forget to spread the PS1/N64 love a bit if you DO end up stuck with a bunch of games, ok?

Personally, I wouldn't want any of the crap he bought, unless he had a minty copy of Intelligent Qube and didn't want Ebay price of $50-60 for it. And honestly, if ANYONE else did this and posted 'I cleaned out X stores of Y items', you would probably see MORE people being irate.
I remember when someone found a bunch of Ebay auctions from someone who showed STACKS and STACKS of game guides in their house or office. People from here said they were going to 'bump' the bids up on there and then NOT pay to 'get them back'.
Or the one game store which announced its closure and was liquidating their stock, which many CAGs said you could see the Kmart clearance tags on many of them still.
So, a few people complaining is NOTHING, compared with the usual 'call to arms' for hoarders on here.

Word, I'm surprised more people aren't disgusted by the braggadocio required to type out a list of HUNDREDS of games, say that these are just the ones that they DON'T want, and even go on to say that there are hundreds more that they actually wanted. Then to go on to say that none of these are for themself, friends, or fellow posters, but are just going to be sold - why even bother posting any of that in the first place? It could be construed as a 'warning' to people in their area that there is nothing left, but that could have been said in a sentence; a list of hundreds of games is a little more akin to boasting. So, again, why post in the first place?
The answer is because that person is a hoarding ass.

Buying out entire stores of their stock is just pain greed. We all know damn well out of 500 games there is multiples of most of them - don't come on here posting that crap and try to say "Im a game collector." Most of the people here are game collectors and dont have a need to flip 3 copies of a game for every 1 that they keep. Buying all of those made you look like an ass, but actually coming on here to share it with everyone really makes you one.
Usually I try to defend people trying to get some free stuff here and there, but this is just ridiculous. Find a new way to make some money.

All I can say is that I only got was an ex-smoker's Rampage Universal Tour for the N64 in this deal!
For those who find tons of games, please don't hold onto them thinking they will go up in value in the future. Sell it now and let someone enjoy them now!
I don't care if you're in my area and cleaned out all the Psone/N64 games from the GS/EB, since it basically means I don't have to spend money, before I could even get more than that one game I mentioned.

Not but you can flame him for buying everything out of the store leaving nothing for other CAG's and instead ebaying it. I got quite a few duplicates of games like Rhaspody, Saiyuki, etc. I got them over a period of a month giving anyone in my area ample time to take them before I did. I usually buy 2-3 games a week in case others swung by.
I traded extra copies to people on gametz. Stuff like a copy of Saiyuki for a copy of megaman legends etc. A few I sold for under ebay costs to someone whom i knew wasn't going to turn around and flip them.
When you buy hundreds of crap games for the SOLE purpose of flipping don't expect any mercy. I mean no one would blame him for buying 10 copies of suikoden 2 and ebay'ing them if he found em (hopefully he'd offer 1-2 here as thanks for finding out about the deal). Buying every game in the store reduces him to the level of someone from fatwallet.

Glad to see there's another CAG who likes Rampage like I do. I grew up in the era when it came out(80's) and many games today wouldn't even BE around if not for the groundwork laid out by some of those early titles.
Stuff like:
Elevator Action-(ducking into rooms to evade being seen by enemies, ala MGS and many other games)
Double Dragon/Final Fight(89-90)/Streets Of Rage(90's)- Just TRY and talk to a game dev who made a brawler and have them NOT mention one of those three games.
Swordquest series(Atari 2600)- Multi part games in a series, action slashing RPGs(albeit primitive back then, but still fun when you were a kid back then)
Super Mario Bros.(NES)- wacky weapons(a sunflower=ability to shoot fireballs, whodathunk?), + convoluded(but semi believable in the realm of gaming) storyline= fun experience
Hell, even the party game genre had Track + Field on the NES and Tapper(and Root Beer Tapper) to thank for their invention to some extent.
Maybe I'm giving some of these games too much credit, but I think all of them DID help to launch gaming to where it is TODAY.
Oh and.....if ANY CAGs happen to find a(even disc only) copy of Intelligent Qube at their local GS/EB with PS1 games. I'll buy it for cost plus a lil extra plus shipping cause my local stores are COMPLETELY tapped out it seems.

Even if the list was fake, it is sort of lame but it's a free world and it's full of people looking to make a quick buck and there's nothing wrong with that, as long as it's legal.

Drove up to a store East of me in Connecticut - Old Saybrook - found a decent selection of games and picked up the following (most complete) - WCW Backstage Assault (which I wanted because I am a wrestling fan to complete the WCW collection), The Italian Job, Grand Theft Auto 1 & England, Martian Gothic, Tomb Raider 3, Hot Shots Golf, and Driver 2.
Total was 4.45. Very pleased with that. If anyone's in the area, I recommend going there and checking it out.
Checked out a bunch of other stores in Danbury, Fairfield and Norwalk found nothing. One of the stores at the Milford mall had mostly sports PS1 games. Westport had a few N64 games left but nothing I wanted - looking for Banjo Tooie and Kazooie. I'll check out Trumbull tomorrow for the B2G1 used deal to use up a couple of giftcards but I've never seen any older games at the 3 stores there.

Awesome deal I found. Picked up Rhapsody, Persona 2, Starcraft 64, and some Koei RPG for 95% off. 75% off+ 20% off for renewing my Edge card.
That was all of their games left. Which was odd, I think when they were told to send all of their stuff back, they stashed their RPGs and other hard to finds (pretty stoked and surprised to find Starcraft 64)
Unfortunately, I passed on a disk only Xenogears (which I would have picked up if I knew I was getting 95% off) But I'm pretty satisified with my trip out there. I found a Monster Hunter Freedom next door at Circuit City as well.

ohhh man....I scored a HUGE game. I got Suikoden II 75% off from one of my local former rhino stores lawlz.
I'm really not too knowledgable about what's the rarest of the rare in terms of PS1 & N64 stuff, and I'll be heading to a store within the next week or so that has a huge bin of games for both systems. Can anyone type up a list off the top of their head of what's worth the most/rarest?

We went to our local dropoff for the area's PS1/N64 stock in Midland Park, NJ, and someone spent over a grand there, taking everything not sports. Had we not been on our honeymoon, we could have added a lot to our own collection.
We still left with 76 games we needed though. And no, we're not hoarding; it's for our personal collection. They were all individual titles we needed, and would also have been had we gotten there first.

The system doesnt combine offers so they would have to manual discount.. It will be a YMMV type of deal.

I've stopped by a couple of Gamestops a few times and did some searching. I got on this kind of late so some of the better stuff was missing and almost no complete games were to be found but here's the only two worth noting (most of what I got I intended to play, for pennies why not?):
Legend of Mana (disc only)

Then again, it could just contain more bleh. Recently, I heard from another employee that they would recieve a shipment of 500 ps1 games. I, of course, went to check it out the next day. Well, I asked if I could see it, and another employee brought out the box, which had about 460 ps1 games. I searched in the box for almost an hour, but what do I turn up? Nothing. All sports and wrestling, a few variety games here and there, but nothing worth it. He tells me that they were actually from other stores where they couldnt sell them, so they were dumped on them. See if your local store got a box of unsellable games dumped on them too -_-'

See if your local store got a box of unsellable games dumped on them too -_-'

I wish to hell my store woulda got some decent stuff, along with the fifty bajillion Maddens and other various crap games. But, if they had anything, they're long gone now.

Actually, I'm the manager's new best friend because I'm taking so much old stuff off of his hands. However, he says that he keeps getting more and more boxes, not just from old stores, but from the backs of warehouses, too. Unfortunately, he says that due to corporate policy, he can't break the seal on boxes until he has enough room cleared on the shelves to put out the entire box.

That sounds amazing. I'd buy all of that stuff at 85% off, just for sheer quanity in my collection (lame, I know, to buy a ton of wrestling stuff)
I wonder how I'd find a store set up like this. Suppose I'd check out my store locator and call each store that lists a certain PSone game in stock.
I wonder how I'd find a store set up like this. Suppose I'd check out my store locator and call each store that lists a certain PSone game in stock.
Im just wondering, do stores have the option to choose to accept a shipment of games, and say no if they dont want it? For example, old games such as PS1 and N64, Im sure there are some managers out there that think its a hassle to sell old games like these.
Also, I wouldnt mind if they had them, I'm pretty sure some of my local GS dont even have a chance to sell ps1 games because they're not offered these boxes, even if they dont want them. Well, at least I have one GS in my area that has old games, but not for long though once this is over

[quote name='Brian9824']Not but you can flame him for buying everything out of the store leaving nothing for other CAG's and instead ebaying it. I got quite a few duplicates of games like Rhaspody, Saiyuki, etc. I got them over a period of a month giving anyone in my area ample time to take them before I did. I usually buy 2-3 games a week in case others swung by.
I traded extra copies to people on gametz. Stuff like a copy of Saiyuki for a copy of megaman legends etc. A few I sold for under ebay costs to someone whom i knew wasn't going to turn around and flip them.
When you buy hundreds of crap games for the SOLE purpose of flipping don't expect any mercy. I mean no one would blame him for buying 10 copies of suikoden 2 and ebay'ing them if he found em (hopefully he'd offer 1-2 here as thanks for finding out about the deal). Buying every game in the store reduces him to the level of someone from fatwallet.[/quote]
ok fist off. im not going to thank this website for this Great find...because i didnt find it out from here...For YEARS! ive been to eb and gamestop asking about there old games...and been spoon feed Lies about them sending back all the old games to a warehouse....blah blah... so i could never buy my old school games...and one day i said let me ask the guy and he said we do have some but you have to know the exact game u want and they will look it up. I didnt have that great of a imagination and so i ask the guy was there a box or something i can look through..after he handed the ps1 games i picked out a few i could afford, think the prices were what was on the sticker and after he rang me out he said i owe him like 3 bucks for like 10 games...i was so shocked i was give me all your boxes im going to go through all them. I didnt buy out my eb store in 1 day! i had to come back for like a week or so because the clerks had to do multiple tranactions. I didnt take the rare shit like suikoden 2 and the RPG's b/c they didnt have them and at the time i didnt know which one was rare... lalala My purpose in beginning was buy the games i like to play and enjoy and i figured that alot of other people in other states wont be able to get this stuff so i thought i could offer them on ebay b/c thats where i get the stuff i cant find.
i dont believe the shit where you said you left shit for other people to get...pff yea if i saw ff7 i would leave it there for joe blow....my ass!
we all know you sold your shit on ebay to make money. your no different then me.
"I mean no one would blame him for buying 10 copies of suikoden 2 and ebay'ing them "
thats bull shit! i bout 12 copys of paper mario and i got flamed...if i got 3 copys of suikoden 2 i would be still flammed...
and to those people that said they would share the glory?
thats a load of piss.....next thing your going to do is feed the poor employees at Gamestop, cause they get minimal wage...and then later...buy them a wii....
why dont you guys flame the guy who went into walmart or k-mart or all the stores and buy out all the new systems and sell the 4 times more then what they got it for. its supply and demand.. you want this to stop? dont buy from them!
I am a collector and for any ass that thinks they wouldnt buy old school games for a good price your a buch of dee' dee' dees.......
only reason i post shit on this form cus like other people we want to share the great deals we in counter.. i dont even post in this form cus i dont find great deals like this and when some one decides to join the community to post and not just leech off bandwith...he gets this crap.
and some ass said i made this list up? what the f%^ who the hell has the time to type up that shit. want a picture?
when i sell my shit and make back my money ill be glad to do trades and shit like that. I bought the box of NES games with out looking b.c the guys wanted me to clear the space in the back...the one guy that was nice to me who even let me in the back of eb to look at the games was glad to get rid of the stuff. Any ways when i get a chance after my college finals this week, ill take a picture instead of listing the games. that way i wont "sound" like a hoarder...haha
i got mario party 4 5 6 on ebay all together for 60 bucks with shipping including! having alot of fun with these games! im still missing #3,#7 wont get #8 cus i dont have any of the new generation systems. thought i would mention that.
and to IAmTheCheapestGamer.....intellegent cube? wanna have my demo disc? gots the first level! wootz! i dont think anyone is retarded enough to sell it for the price they bought it for...but thats just me. and its funny you said mint condition...that even adds to my :lol:

I said that because:
First off, this site is called CHEAP ASS GAMER, not 'sell it to you for JUST under Ebay price ass gamer'. And second, it's because every damned place I go to find it locally 'just sold it', much like the one unreleased game I was looking for a copy of.
And actually, I HAD the demo disc, which is what prompted me to finally look for the whole game(in 2003). I kept putting off finding it and by the time I decided TO look, it was 'rare' and going for good money on Ebay.
While asking for it 'mint' was probably a HUGE mistake, since I DO know that some CAGs would want $40-50 for it easy in THAT condition, I'm still willing to accept it in decent shape AND disc only.
You see though, I don't want to stare at it and go 'wow, look at that rare game I have, its pretty', I want to actually PLAY it. And, again, being a cheapass, I don't want to pay 'ebay' price for it. But, that IS too much to ask, since even the unreleased game was never sent to me by someone who had a copy of it, but didn't want to test it before sending. I didn't want to pay for an untested game, but would've once I got it and tested it on my own.
Oh well....

So, if you get a really good deal on a bunch of games, and manage to sell a couple so that your massive haul of stuff ends up costing a net of $0, that's wrong?
I guess my "Buy someone's collection on CraigsList / flip consoles and games I already have / keep the rest" to acquire games with minimal cash outlay is earning me a spot in gamer hell.

Lost count of how many times you contradicted yourself in that post.
1. Never said i'd leave FF7, said i left copies of stuff like Persona 2, Breath of Fire 4, Saiyuki, and snagged em next week when they were still there. Did that for about a month getting 4-5 games each week.
2. Not a single game went on ebay. Your welcome to look at my ebay account. User name Brian9824. All my games were traded on gametz to people who actually want to play them.
3. Quite a few of us help out other users. We are not all greedy asses, sadly people take advantage of that generosity and you don't see it as often. For example during the massive CC sale when Disgaea was clearanced for $5, i remember a user here traded it to a guy at cost who had been desperately looking for a copy - who promptly sold it on ebay for $50....

You know what you did was wrong and that it was greedy, otherwise you wouldn't have deleted your own list. I mean what were you expecting when you posted here saying you bought several hundred games and wouldn't trade them to anyone on this site and were going to ebay them instead - thanks?
Some of us would rather help out other CAG members then make a $5-15 profit on ebay.
i dont believe the shit where you said you left shit for other people to get...pff yea if i saw ff7 i would leave it there for joe blow....my ass!
we all know you sold your shit on ebay to make money. your no different then me.
"I mean no one would blame him for buying 10 copies of suikoden 2 and ebay'ing them "
thats bull shit! i bout 12 copys of paper mario and i got flamed...if i got 3 copys of suikoden 2 i would be still flammed...
and to those people that said they would share the glory?
thats a load of piss.....next thing your going to do is feed the poor employees at Gamestop, cause they get minimal wage...and then later...buy them a wii....
why dont you guys flame the guy who went into walmart or k-mart or all the stores and buy out all the new systems and sell the 4 times more then what they got it for. its supply and demand.. you want this to stop? dont buy from them!
I am a collector and for any ass that thinks they wouldnt buy old school games for a good price your a buch of dee' dee' dees.......
only reason i post shit on this form cus like other people we want to share the great deals we in counter.. i dont even post in this form cus i dont find great deals like this and when some one decides to join the community to post and not just leech off bandwith...he gets this crap.
and some ass said i made this list up? what the f%^ who the hell has the time to type up that shit. want a picture?
when i sell my shit and make back my money ill be glad to do trades and shit like that. I bought the box of NES games with out looking b.c the guys wanted me to clear the space in the back...the one guy that was nice to me who even let me in the back of eb to look at the games was glad to get rid of the stuff. Any ways when i get a chance after my college finals this week, ill take a picture instead of listing the games. that way i wont "sound" like a hoarder...haha
i got mario party 4 5 6 on ebay all together for 60 bucks with shipping including! having alot of fun with these games! im still missing #3,#7 wont get #8 cus i dont have any of the new generation systems. thought i would mention that.
and to IAmTheCheapestGamer.....intellegent cube? wanna have my demo disc? gots the first level! wootz! i dont think anyone is retarded enough to sell it for the price they bought it for...but thats just me. and its funny you said mint condition...that even adds to my :lol:
hell why dont you say....if anyone has this in there closet and wants to sell it cheap...(5 bucks) let me know.... Has to be mint....thought or no deal!
HAhahahaha..............[/quote]

Collectors don't buy games to sell on ebay, they buy them to keep. Buying 300+ games with the intention of selling them DOES NOT make you a collector.

That's why in 1.5 years here you don't have a single post aside from these and haven't traded with any users? How does posting a haul you got and then saying you have no intention to trade or sell anything to a single user here help any CAG member? Like we have said people wouldnt complain if you were willing to actually sell/trade to CAG members.

[quote name='Slim Gatsby']So, if you get a really good deal on a bunch of games, and manage to sell a couple so that your massive haul of stuff ends up costing a net of $0, that's wrong?
I guess my "Buy someone's collection on CraigsList / flip consoles and games I already have / keep the rest" to acquire games with minimal cash outlay is earning me a spot in gamer hell.[/quote]
Buying a collection off craiglist is different though, i mean you have no choice but to buy all the games. It's not like you can buy just pieces of it usually. Also craiglist prices are different, your not going to find nationwide sales like this so thats perfectly fine.

Ditto on clerks/sometimes store managers knowing which EB/GS in their district (or nearby districts) had N64 and PS1 inventory.
Within a rough 50 mile radius for me, only 3 stores had games for these systems. Of course each store was on the edge of the radius so I logged plenty of miles in my car.

If you're asking me if it's wrong to buy 12 copies of Paper Mario to sell, then, yes, it is wrong.
