CAGiversary!
First I found and bought suikoden 2 for 40 used at gamestop(Only had one) it was 50 but I got 20 percent off, due to a coupon in a magazine, and the 10 % off card. now that was a pretty good deal, but it was nothing compared to a deal I got at a flea market/garage sale over the weekend I went down to the country in PA (Honeybrook) and there was a house having a garage sale, and I figured there wold be nothing worth getting, but I decided to look anyhow. I am glad I did, there were 4 playstation 1 games, and they were Suikoden 1, Valkyrie Profile, Vagrant Story(non gh), and Tomb Raider 1. I already have Tomb raider, but I asked how much and the guy told me 10 each, and then I asked how about 30 for all four, and he said okay. lol, I got the best deal ever. now my suikoden collection is complete, and for alot cheaper then I expected. Both suikoidens, valkyrie profile, and vagrant story are mint, while tomb raider has a few scratches, but I already own that so it really didnt matter. I would rate this deal a 12/10.
 
yeh I guess, but I figured the least I can do is buy Tomb raider, and help the guy out a little, I mean he did help me out.
 
plus my little couisn likes tomb raider, so now I can give it to him, and he will be happy. I could have spent 30 and got 3, but instead I got TR free.
 
It's even better because that guy probably figures he screwed you because old PSX games generally are worthless.

Either that or he's totally out of touch and doesn't realize old video games usually go down in price big time.
 
Personally, being a person that usually hunts for bargains and hits pawn shops/flea markets/thrift stores & yard sales regularly...you paid too much. I've seen all those at 5.00 each or less.
 
Not really. I remember paying 10 dollars for Suikoden, brand new... and 5 copies of the game were just sitting there in the case along with it.
Of course, this was about 3-4 years ago.
 
well, If I would have told you I got them for 5 dollers each you would not have believed me, so I had to make up a better lie, 10 bucks each or 4 for 30, lol, jk. If I were to sell them, I would probably get alot more though.
 
Holy crap! Valkyrie Profile alone is worth more than you paid. It Ebays for $60+


Personally, I paid $35 (mint) for my copy at EBGames. Dude at the counter about had a heart attack (he had been tracking down the game for YEARS XD). And I also paid $25 for Suikoden.

My point is-- I hate you.

why bring him down? i don't think you or anyone else would have passed up on those deals just because they weren't "5.00 each or less". And you know it.

Nice job, Nasfive0. :)

Because he probably has nothing better to do. Just look at his post count.

1. It's a public forum, I can express my opinions how I want. (i.e. Call's em as I see's em)

2. Yes, it's human nature

3. No, I don't have anything better to do, what does my post count have to do with anything. Less than 150 posts in 5 months? are you trying to insinuate I post a lot or something? I'm insinuating your an ass hole.

4. Yes, I did pass on these all at one time or another. I passed on Suikoden for 5.00 once before I got it (and suikoden 2) for free. I'm a cheap ass, and I do not pay over 5.00 for PSone games (and only 5.00 for ones I REALLY want)...because I will eventually get them for the price I want....took me over a year but I eventually got Chrono Trigger for 4.50. I'm patient, I get good deals.

5. Why bring him down? Cause if this is his "deal of a lifetime" he needs to hunt for better deals. I swear is this was the best deal I ever got my life would probably suck...I don't call it "bringing down", I call it tough love. Maybe now he'll try harder for better deals.

so a big :p to you!
 
Best deals I ever got from a yard sale were the time I found Phantasy Star 4 complete with the box and book for .50 and another time where I got Paper Mario and Ogre Battle 64 for $2 each.
Last week, my friend picked up an original Nintendo Game and Watch Donkey Kong unit for $1

My little secret for yard saling is look for houses with bikes or basketball hoops outside of. A couple of indicators that there are kids of game loving age around ;)
 
it is obvious that I will search for better deals, but I dont think its possible to find a better deal then the one I got. so it would just be stupid, to pass these up.
 
I also hate you, I never see any garage sells here, but I do have a big-ass flea market nearby, which I have yet to go to, but I will soon.
