Now for the best finds from a used game store.

I walked into a game store I haven't been in for awhile, the owner has always made deals with me. When I asked him "anything cool come in?" he first showed me a Nintendo Game Boy Advance Red Target exclusive system. I asked what He wanted and he said $20. So ya I grabbed it. Next He shows me a Pokemon Mini with cart, was showing me it was going for $30-$50 on ebay then tells me he'll give it to me for $20. So I grabbed that to. Then He shows me a Mega Drive game (Uncharted Waters in Japan) and tells me take for $1. Then He asks if I saw those PS1 educational games he got in? I first thought "What a jump start game?" He shows me two boxes full of PS1 games where only sold to to schools. He said he wanted to get rid of them, and I offered $20 for them and he said take em. lol and last he says I got one more thing you might want. He goes and pulls out a PS1 Blue Dev Kit system.  :o
It was missing the controller and had no hook ups, told me I could have it for $15.  :o
I tell him I have a couple N64's from my garage sales and he gave me $40 credit for them to go towards my purchase.   ;)

This just arrived from Amazon new.

sic

Completely forgot I have a bid on it used on eBay right now.

Hope I lose.

You can cancel bids or do what people do to me all the time when they win at too high of a price and say "Oh, my kid bid on this without me knowing, I don't want it. Please cancel"

Ugh ...

It's my wife's account and she's got flawless feedback. I don't want to mess that up.

Looks like I'm going to win unless someone snipes me. :P

What's funny is this will be the first item I've bid on and won in the last year.

Can't tell you how many I've been skunked on by snipers.

I've sold three things in the past month or so.  Two of them saw no action till like the last 5 to 10 minutes, with the third getting the starter bid, but mostly sitting out the three days.  Practically every one would have like 6 to 10 bids in the last minute and the third one had like 5+ in the last 20 seconds lol It's crazy, I can't imagine being on the buying side for a lot of this lol

I haven't been able to collect since I'm out of the country. I'm going back to canada for a couple of weeks though so I am ordering a few things for my arrival :p

I ordered Final Fantasy: Lightning Returns sealed on PS3. To be honest I was surprised I didn't already have it. I'm currently browsing ebay looking for a couple of other cheap goodies I could get.

Canceling a bid doesn't affect your feedback. Hell nothing affects a buyer's feedback now. eBay made it impossible for sellers to leave negs to people who deserve them. And who don't.

eBay sucks. If there were a competent competitor I'd jump ship but there isnt.

That Wii stand is really awesome, Flea! I'm pretty jealous of that  ;D

I went to a dozen garage sales yesterday and a flea market today, and the only video games I saw were a Wii without any games, priced at $150, and a few "Imagine" DS games for $20 each... ??? but it's the first week-end of the year for those, so I won't lose hope!  8)

I bought 2 Vita games in stores though, Touch My Katamari was randomly prices $10 at Walmart so I jumped on it! I also grabbed a physical copy of Child of Light because I was afraid I'd have a hard time getting one if I waited too long.

I didn't mention this the other day...



$1. So glad I got this on Thursday, the flea market got flooded with rain on Friday and I saved it. :p I had to replace the case, but it's in great shape other than that.

I've played this on 3DO. It is thee pinnacle of bad acting lightgun shooters.

Great score!

My last additions:
  • Panzer Dragoon Saga PAL - pics
  • Complete Strike series on NTSC SEGA hardware - pics and pics

It's been years I wanted to get my hands on PDS, i'm so glad the PAL version works on NTSC mode on my JP Saturn since I really wanted to play it in 60Hz and the PAL version has those gorgeous boxes! Best RPG ever for me ♥

The Strikes are still awesome to play. I like those yellow-tabbed cartridges that remind me that long ago, EA were kinda pirating SEGA hardware to sell their games...
