Got Autographs from Steven Yuen and Lauren Cohan from The Walking Dead. Did not know she had a British accent :drool:.

DSC00433.jpg

portrait drawing of Rose from Street Fighter. Waited in line forever to get Alvin Lee to draw this and it was well worth it. Got to see him draw other people's requests which was awesome.

Any CAGs know where to get a frame for this and which one would be a good one?

Also, get autographs from Shane West and the production guy I think from Nikita since Maggie Q could not make it :cry:
 
Cool pick ups.
Did you pay for your autographs?
I always wonder about that.
Hope to get some drawing at the phx con in may

Nah. But did have to get there early to secure a ticket for the Steven Yuen and Lauren Cohan signing. Overall they were nice, especially Lauren, starting little convos with everyone at the signing.

[quote name='Potatoeman']That Rose sketch is ballin' outta control. Very cool![/QUOTE]

Sure is, just need to get a frame for it now.

For frames try Michaels and if you wanna risk Wal Mart they have some decent ones.

I've had to pay for an autograph before. It's usually not worth it if you have to buy the photo from them to sign, since that's where they really gouge you, but if you have something with you that you want signed it's not usually that bad, at the very least it's less then the ebay value later.

That's a lot of games for $30. It depends, its your friend and he's offering you all that for $30 so I'd take it.

If you're really worried about the value, Bomberman 64 the second attack is fairly rare and worth at least $30, usually more.

Yeah, I suppose. I do owe him for giving me his Conker's Bad Fur Day for my Batman arkham city that I got for $10. Lol, speaking of that, now I have 4 copies of conker's: 2 carts, a cart and manual, and a complete with players guide. Plus, every single cart is minty up the wazoo. How's that for my tribute to the best game ever made?
 
Took a long road trip and after hitting up several gamestops,pawn shops and flea markets I got not much but some good stuff.





Sakura Wars is still sealed. Everything but Xenoblade is going up for trade.

Went to pick up my $10 Darksiders from Best Buy that I ordered online and found Dragon's Peak while I was there. Used the $20 I got back from buying ME3 to get Dragon's Peak. SO SOUPED.
 
Suprised to see this on my desk from the UPS man, since they cancelled the payment from Gamestop. Still havent got the one from Amazon so I will be selling one of them.

Also got this from my friend for $20. Sealed. He bought them off Cl and then didnt want them so I offered him $20. Not into pricey headphones but could not say no to $20. Already checked they are not bootleg. But dont think I like them. Maybe to my lowball they go

Also thx to a friend got my comic con passes for me and a friend for $25, saved $30.

I need a new pair to wear while running and shooting hoops, how much are you lookin for on the earbuds? :drool:
 
Damn, Beats for $20 is an amazing deal considering what they go for retail wise. Granted, Beats are extremely overrated, but that's still a good deal.

$40 shipped.
Has all the stuff.
Was gonna throw them in my lowball.

Awwww, I would've jumped on that any other time but I just realized how low on cash I am and I still gotta worry about my girlfriend's prom next weekend and then a date for our 2 years the weekend after. Thank you, though! Thats an amazing price for those! If they're still in your lowball in a few weeks I'll be sure to message you. ;)

I have a friend who will take those. I'll shoot you a PM
 
Oh, crap, I guess you're right. Sorry, I didn't see that little "$25" at the bottom of the picture. Well, I still say it's worth it for the awesome gun; I'm sure you'll get a kick out of it. But just so you know, once you put it together, it doesn't come fully apart. You can split it in half so it'll fit back in the box, but you'll have to remove part of the packaging.
 
No video games.....

How bad are these headphones? I made fun of a student of mine who had these and she bought me a pair! lmfao.

IMG_20120419_174914.jpg


I miss my Epic 4G Touch already (even though they are almost the same) but Sprint sucks so bad!

She must hate you if she bought you Coby.

LOL....no she actually likes me......it was a joke buy because I took hers and was making fun of them....think she actually gets them for free somehow.

EDIT: What is sad is I tried them and they play better than what I have now! I had bought a reallll cheap pair to hold me over after my Zune ones broke.
 
^Yeah those headphones get some decent reviews for what they are. I had a pair and I liked them but the casing broke on one of the speakers and I couldn't glue it back together. I go through headphones like mad.

$70 for everything at a little game shop in Jax. Haven't ever found much there but it was a good day to stop, apparently.
 
[quote name='gpgorbosjr']How much you get the .hacks for? Good condition?[/QUOTE]

I got the first one, like new for $12.99 on Amazon, I got part 2 for $22.xx like new on amazon, part 3 for $25 sealed on amazon, and part 4 for $31.49 at like new at gamestop, it still had the seal on the top of the case, but had the plastic rap removed. Theyre all complete with the games, manuels, and anime disks. Im in the process of aquiring all 3 G.U.'s, I'll post a picture when I do.
 
I haven't updated this in...forever, so I'm just going to post my main pickups from the last couple months. Which really isn't much.

Picked this up in February. $20 new at Barnes and Noble. May I just comment on how absolutely brilliant this book is? I mean, it's just.....such an amazing book. Definitely recommend it to everyone. JOhn Green is an excellent author.

Mass Effect 3 bought at launch for $80.
Borderlands GS sale from a week ago for $20.
HDMI cable for $3 or $4, don't remember.
And the Toshiba 42" 1080p HDTV was free thanks to an awesome uncle who had more tv's than he needed.
 
Had another good day.
IMG_20120420_145408.jpg

Phantasy Star from a CAG (thanks Postaboy!), complete but untested, for $15. Just put it in and it worked like a charm. Cart and manual are a bit worn but the case is in great shape. Other two were $3 each at a thrift I stopped at on the way to the bank. Kings Quest IV floppys and Terminator Sega CD, which is basically a replacement longbox.

Edit: Or not, seems to be semi-valuable...
 
I saw gamestop had a Witcher Dark Edition in stock 20 miles away from me and finally decided to get it today. Good thing I did! I stopped at the walmart next door and they had an enormous clearance section of video games, which is where I got the 4 Wii games you see.. SWOTR was from a goodwill for 3.99 and the Xenoblade artbook was from an awesome gamestop manager that was able to get one for me.

Received a package from dv8cag. A small packages but included some nice items.

IMAG0035-1.jpg


Gundam Unicorn game. (really don't know when, if ever I will actually play a gundam game...

Dream C Club Mahjong! This has got to be the best game EVER! Mahjong with the girls of Dream C Club, what's not to like!?

A Seiko watch. While not expensive, it has one of the better in house movement and is classy and handsome while still have a little sparkle. Didn't spend time on setting up the photo so it doesn't do it justice, but the dial is really nice looking and depending on how the light hits it, shows off different color and BLING!

The blue stitching also add some personality to the watch. Very nice and I am extremely happy. Watching it sit in the watch auto winder doing its thing makes me happy :)

Nice pickup coolsteel, I love Vanquish! I hope you enjoy it too.

Really enjoying Resident Evil Revelations! Need a circle pad pro for it though since the controls are kinda wonky. B2G1 free so Catherine was the free game back when Gamestop had it on sale. :)

Traded Twisted Metal to a friend for DMC Collection, and I'm loving The Witcher 2! So glad it came to consoles.
