$2 isnt bad for those bongos. Basically the price of a 20 oz bottle at 7-11 and those bongos will last a lot longer!

and last the reseller I wanted to kill. lol
I stopped at a sale and they had a SNES lot, it had both model 1 & 2 systems and about 30 games. I asked the lady how much and she didn't know so she called her husband on the phone to find out a price, as I was waiting a reseller showed up that I knew all to well. He saw the lot and asked if he could go through it, I told him sorry I'm looking to buy this so no. So of course he was trying to look at everything with out moving me then he stood right next to me and wouldn't leave. Then the Lady came back and said she could sell it all for $60, so I get out my wallet and the reseller starts to try and outbid me yelling "I'll pay $75!" I give him a dirty look and luckily the lady ignored him or didn't hear him and took my money.
As I was leaving I told the guy, "I wouldn't Do that to you", and he said "yes you have". Then I asked him to tell me when and he paused and thought a second then said "sorry". (least he apologized) And this is why people in my area hate the resellers.

- Donkey Kong Country
- Super Mario Kart

Slow day today. I found Super Mario 64 for the DS at a yard sale. I went my local route for game hunting and the 4 or 5 thrifts had nothing. I have two more to hit up in a few. Hopefully I can find something.

I found a old Sears Silvertone acoustic guitar for $13 at one of the Goodwills so at least I found something fun.

20 oz, don't you mean a 24 oz?

...oh, you're talking about soda.

I'd have more fun with the 24 than any of those other options, though.

[atariboy]

My copy of the new homebrew game for the atari 2600 came in today - "Princess Rescue" sadly it is Cart and instruction manual only, I missed out on getting the boxed edition. 

[soera]

There was a guy on Nintendo age selling some homebrews. First was some weird ET game and now its a bloody Pacman game.

[stethebubble]

My June pickups are Game & Wario and Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

my wife just got animal crossing.

i picked up paper mario on the GC today for $5

[turf]

I picked up Xenoblade Chronicles today. I'm having more than a little buyer's remorse. I paid that damn GameStop used price. It's all complete and sexy. Problem is, I'm not an RPG fan.  My brother talked it up so much I dropped the coin.


On a more "me" note, I got this for 20 bones:
Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories (PS2)
Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks (PS2)
Dynamite Cop! (Dreamcast)

Is the GameStop price less than the ebay price?

Also, if you don't want to keep it, you might want to get w/ Soera and see if you can work a deal.

I agree with this statement!

[turf]

The GameStop price is $70 +tax. eBay looks to be around $100. So yeah, it's $20-$25 cheaper. I'm going to keep it. I've been trying to pick up the Wii games that are good/different enough to be something special in a few years. Call it speculating, but some of these games will be hard to find. This will be one I will wish I had picked up.

If you want one go to GameStop and see if they'll find you one for you. It's $70, but the guys at the local store found this one in another store and they shipped it up here.

[theflea]

I hit a few garage sales and the only thing i found was
a Tiger Game.com with 2 games.
- Lights Out
- Batman & Robin
it was $1 

So I stopped at a few game stores and picked up a few things.

PSP These where priced $2-$5
- Frantix
- Medievil Resurrection
- Neverland Card Battles

- Capcom Puzzle World

3DS

I decided to finally live the advice I give and collect for the 6th and 7th generation of consoles. I went to Entertainmart and bought nothing but 2.99 and under games. Including Pro Fishing Challenge. It's a fishing game by Atlus. I heard a podcast talking about the game a year or so ago. And I've been on the lookout for it ever since. Found it mega cheap and with the great cover:
