I have a great pawn shop around here that sells all the old games and stuff for little to nothing. Check out what i got for three bucks a pop.

NES - three dollars a piece
Contra
Double Dragon II
Legend of Zelda
Legend of Zelda II
Mike Tysons Punch Out
TMNT
TMNT Arcade

Not too shabby if you ask me. Don't have a NES, but I have every intention of buying one to play my classics on. They always have good stuff, so who knows what Ill run across next?
 
I got two NES toploaders at Cash America Pawn for a ridiculously low price. I traded them a copy of Gamebreaker 2004 sealed for both of em w/ controllers and hookups. The cool thing, is I got Gamebreaker for $4.99 from EB.
 
Pawn shops are definatly great places to hunt. The pawners don't seem to know much about games and are willing to let anything slip through. I am willing to bet that in some Iowa pawn shop a copy of Chrono Trigger is rusting away with a five dollar tag on it.
 
Hmmm... out here in Bay Area, Cali I've never seen a pawn shop in my life...anyone know of any around here? I'm always reading about good deals and stuff but never have an idea where to find one.
 
Ninja Gaiden II + Metal Gear + Otogi = 21 bucks

Platinum wavebird = 9.99

Chrono Trigger + Super Mario RPg = 13 dollars
 
i really need to visit my local pawn shop, been hearing a lot of good things about pawn shops from this site but i dont know if i have one near by. i guess ill look it up in the phone book.

Were you watching for cop cars on your way home?? I would have felt like i just stole the f***ing crown jewels! Great find!

Oh yeah, I also got Super Mario Kart for 5.
 
considering I never even played Chrono Trigger and only put like 5 hours into Super MArio RPG I do not consider it an amazing find. I got more out of my three dollar Metal Gear

In that case, I'll give you what you paid, plus shipping, plus $3 for Chrono Trigger and Super Mario RPG, seeing as they are just collecting dust. What do you mean, "NO"? :roll:
 
I live at the Pawn Shops. I hit 10 different ones 3 times a week. This is how I make a lot of my extra spending money (roughly $900+ a month). My best finds are the Coporate Pawns such as Cash America & EZPawn.
They also have great deals on dvds. Picked up Star Trek TNG s.1 $25.
 
Pawn Shops rock! I snagged Suikoden I and II for 10.00 flat, I got harvest moon 64 for 3.00 (i snagged 2 total at the same time), valkyrie profile for 5.00, tenchu for the x box for 14.00, tactics ogre for the gba 8.00 each (3 total) oh man, pawns are great
 
My pawns never have anything. However I have two peddlers malls around here and I just scored a Snakes Revenge for 4.50. Had the box but the box is ragged, cart in great condition.

Same here, I've only been to a couple here, but they don't have many games.

Ill have to start checking out local pawn shops. :D
 
The local pawns around here aren't too bad. At one, I found Super Empire Strikes Back for SNES with a $3.99 price tag on it and the clerk only charged me a buck. So far, that's been my best deal (probably because I don't visit them as often as I should).

I've heard lots of stories of people finding copies of the popular SNES RPGs Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy, etc) for around $5 or less at pawn shops. Haven't found any of those stores around here yet, though.

On the low side, another pawn shop around here has an $8 flat fee on SNES stuff... about 95% of which were sports titles. Meh.
 
the pawn shops around here are pretty clever. they use gamestop prices for buying and selling used games, so i never get really good deals. :(

I traded both of them away about 6 months ago on these boards. They were the first games I ever traded on these boards.
 
I got my PS1 at a pawn shop long ago. I haven't really been on the look out for games at em lateley tho, but this has told me to get the hell out there and find some good deals.
