 A new month is beginning!  So here's a new thread to show off your cool finds!

[indenton]

I found Persona 3 FES & Shadow Hearts: Covenant stacked with each other in my local CeX ready to be displayed in a cabinet.  I had no money on me at the time, I felt like it would already be gone by the time I came back tomorrow.  Persona 3 FES was already priced at £40, pretty much retail price. 

I checked online, they had 9 copy of Persona 3 FES across all their stores, Amazon & eBay listing £50 at its absolute cheapest, there certainly was something satisfying about find these games in person, Collector mentaility?  Wind Waker with Bonus disc & Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes were also on display.  I didn't want to shell out for all of these, so I went in the next day and Persona 3 FES was no longer in the cabinet, not on the shelves with the other PS2 games, I told a cashier about the situation and luckily it was still behind the counter and I claimed my small victory for the day, it was in pretty good condition too with manual included

Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil has been on the store shelf for a while now... story of my life.

Is FES still that pricey? I got a sealed copy for like 15 bucks last year.

Look up the PAL version, It's a lot more valuable in Europe, that £40 one is the cheapest I've ever seen it.  Pretty similar story for most PS2 RPGs.  I believe the PS2 price creep is in motion right now

Yeah, Europe doesn't get the same print runs as NA.  I wanna say Atlus is a special case too, I can never remember the exact details, but I wanna say Atlus has always had problems with Europe.

Got my Shadow Complex Remastered in the mail yesterday.

Also hit 2 pawn shops.  Picked up Tomb Raider Trilogy (PS3) and Reload (Wii).

Pawn shop had a stack of SNES and N64 games, not priced, so I asked and they priced them.

Star Wars Rogue Squadron $30... loose.  Yeah, good fucking luck with that.  Shit, they even told me $3, $4, and $5, for some newer games... but when they rang it up, they rang them up as $3.99, $4.99, and $5.99.  I said fuck that shit, that isn't what you said.  SHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIT.  They had a DVD case with fake art for the Dreamcast game Evil Twin.  I asked to see the disc.  Disc looked like a PS1 game that someone printed out fake artwork and used a CD stamper.  Like the disc looked like someone printed out fanart onto a CD label, no system logo or anything.  And they paid fucking money for that.  Last time I went to that shop I paid $10 for Ice Climber (NES) and that was a few years ago.

I forget how bad some pawn shops suck in my area.  I think one had Gotcha Force CIB for $275 a few years back.  I bet they still have it.

Target is currently clearancing out many of their Wii U titles, especially third party titles and games that didn't sell as well as Nintendo may have hoped. Upon them are Shovel Knight, Xenoblade X, Angry Birds Trilogy, and Mighty No. 9 to name a few.

I picked up Rodea which is a game I've been interested in for some time. For $10 brand new I couldn't pass it up

[madmax]

After almost 2 years of no collecting because I was overseas, I finally started collecting again! It's going to be a slow start since I still have to move my collection to my new place (across the country).

Anyway. Finally got FF Origins. I have the Japanese collectors FF Origin but I've never had the NA release. Should be shipped after labor day weekend.

[sworddude]

Did have quite the long vacation and a pretty long break from collecting and playing older games aside from the handheld that I had with me.

Just been back for less than 2 weeks and I'm pretty pleased with the deals I have made, i'm pretty sure that I have missed quite allot of deals though.

2 free ps1 games both cib and in excellent shape

Bomberman
jumping flash

all cib

Jak and daxter lost frontier psp 3 euro's
timeplitters 4 euro's
legacy of kain defiance for free
suikoden Iv for free

Some free gameboy spare carts and manuals wario land and donkey kong

FF VIII pc cib with all paper work in excellent shape came with my snes deal for free

All snes games cib and in excellent shape all for free

wolverine adamantinium rage
blues brothers
DK country
super ghouls n ghosts

Than my unfortunate add

Lunar legend 2 for free
It has everything except for the music CD with it's sleeve

it's a shame but the condition of the outer box the discs and ofcourse that all other things are included while making a nice profit and replacing some ntc discs in mint shape make it a decent deal.

I'll probably find a 2nd copy with the music cd so that should not be to big deal since the outer box condition is usually in pretty rough shape.

NicE!  I found a first generation Xbox at a Goodwill store for $40.  It didn't have any controllers or power cables.
I passed on it.
