Anybody got extra of Dragon Quest Builder and World of Final Fantasy guide? I am willing to pay for shipping plus a little more for those guides. Only found Dragon Quest Builder and the employee adjusted to full price.

 
Might have found a new spot. Had to go and look in on a new office , not that far from it was a GS. Figured why not. Manager was super nice and cool af. She's like you can have one of each.

How much for the FF XV guide?

 
Stopped by the GS, where I spotted the lone copy of DS 3 HC last week, to make some trade-in, it is no longer there. Not sure if another CAG lurked it or it has been pulled.

Missed out on this round so far, will do some searching tomorrow. Any spreadsheet showing what stores may have them still? I presume they're taken off the website midday wednesdays.

Stick it in her pooper!

Seriously, no one said this yet?!?!? whatever happened to that CAG tradition?!?! You guys are slacking!

Grats on the haul!

 
I remember seeing that Playing with Power book when I was looking for the other pennied guides. Might have to grab it if I can. Most of the NES Classic games are kicking my ass.

 
Enjoy the good life my friends. GS stop selling the penny guides in my area. Tried 7 different stores and got denied :(. It was good while it lasted.

Mine have actually been cool about it this time. I bought a $10 Fallout 4 HC guide to pad one.

Thanks for mentioning the FO 4 CE guide. I rather get one at this price than miss out when it pennies. The stores in my area don't put out guides so it's hard to come up on penny guides.

I'd buy a lot more guides if they actually went on sale half the time. Too often it's $40 -----> garbage.
 
Went to a store today that I hadn't been to in a year since it's 50 minutes away. They have added a retro section, a vive station , and more collectibles then about 4 regular stores combined. I was checking out and noticed a Bioshock Collection Guide and grabbed it. Cashier rang it up and was like oh that's a super sale today. At another store I saw a Battlefront Guide and a soft cover Uncharted 4 guide. Are these pennied out?

 
When I moved a couple of years ago, I junked like 300 or 400 paperback guides that were worthless and I didn't feel like moving them. I told myself "never again"... Now I'm back to over 100 CE guides and I'm like "seriously???"...

Same here. Those plus every single OPM and demo disc as well as EGM original issues, it was tough moving and I had to toss a bunch of stuff.
 
i already threw whole bunch of EGMs, all of GamePros, NEXT Generation, GameFan, OPM, PSM, eXpert Gamer, PC Gamer, Computer Gaming World, etc. all go bye bye. no space. threw whole bunch of Maxim, FHM, Stuff magazines also. lol. I kept like 95% of my Nintendo Power magazines though. sigh.. the good old days where you wait for magazines to come in the mail. exciting moments

 
Why would you guys throw all that stuff away? You could donate it or at least try to sell it instead of just trashing it. Half Price Books will buy paperback game guides.
