Total of the RDR decks = free after gas and time(both of which I didn't mind spending since I found 6 pounds of Cinnamon Toast Crunch for a total of $12.72 + some of the other stuff above and below)

This was spotted yesterday at the Mayfield Heights, OH Wally World:

PS. Sorry for the crappy pic quality, but I was using my cellphone instead of my 40d.
 
I'm always hoping to find some old videogames in the stores I go to, but they rebuild every other month so I'm guessing if they do have random stock for no reason it's long lost.

I actually got the old PC games at a used book store. It was called M&P books, but carried some well priced blu-rays, dvds, and some games too.

I was mostly talking about the playstation games at Walmart. The Walmart in my area literally gets rebuilt every other month. It's getting ridiculous. The last old game I've found in the random small stores was a sealed boxed copy of Command and Conquer for the PC.

Oh. That wally world also had SWAT 3 for PC and several other ancient PC games.
 
Did you just ask the people at Walmart if they had any leftovers? Anytime I try something like that, I get completely shut-down.
 
Since you got 14 of them, how about hooking me up with a set of those RDR playing cards!:lol: (But seriously, I'd pay you shipping + a bit extra for them.)

Anyway, great haul.

I believe he said he wanted $12 via Paypal per pack for shipping n time in one of the RDR threads.
 
Yeah. I have had people paying $12 shipped for a deck and I don't want to change that because it would make it unfair to the people that already paid if I started charging less than they paid.

Also, add to the loot a Sega Genesis w/two controllers and the power cable for $7 at a giant indoor yardsale that a local radio station put together. I offered the guy $10 and he said "how about $7?" and I said "sold!" :p

Also picked up a deck of Goodyear playing cards for my grandpa for $1. (he used to work for Goodyear)
 
How much were the PS1 games?

I remember one or two Christmas' ago, the local Walmart had a bargain bin set up with all kinds of last gen games. But in a corner of one bin, they had like 4 or 5 copies of Tony Hawk 2 for the N64 and a bunch of random PS1 sports games. They were charging $5 for each of them. I would've picked up a copy of Tony Hawk if it were $1.

If they were marked correctly, one was $15 and one was $10, I believe. If you can see the pictures, then you might be able to barely make it out which was which price.

[quote name='helluvagood']why do you need so many games[/QUOTE]

What do you mean? I didn't buy that many games, I mostly bought guides.
 
I've worked at a few different stores and yeah those backroom finds happened all the time though most were bought by employees before anyone ever considered taking them back out to the floor. Back in about 04 at the Kmart I was at there was a Genesis and Super Nintendo still sitting on the top shelf , Genesis had no box and thus no barcode while the Snes still rang up at something like 70 bucks.

LOL, you're asking the wrong person. Have you ever read any posts from Fire thief?

I highly doubt that you didn't make massive quantities of money on those decks, considering you sold them for $12 shipped.

Why shouldn't he make something for his time and gas spent to amass those decks? The decks of cards have a value, so it's only right for him to be the one to make that money, as opposed to just giving them away and letting those people make the money on them.

The prices on these decks vary wildly on Ebay, from $.99(with $5 shipping) all the way up to $30.00 with $7.50 shipping for two decks, so his price per deck was not too far out of line with what they're getting on the open market.
