I will admit there is a pretty big learning curve in getting used to dealing with the Steam trading economies (it would, however, be very familiar to a person used to trading CCG or sports cards), but for some it makes for a handy income supplement. I know of quite a few people that pay for all of their games and PC upgrades solely through their trading profits, and the market will occasionally do shifts that can lead to massive profit (I think my best night was making around $3-400 off of the glitched killstreak kits when they happened).

However, if you don't really want to do any of that, I'd suggest to at least go on the Steam Community Marketplace to see if any of those promo items you got are marketable, as then you can get rid of them and get a few extra bucks for your steam wallet.

It's not video games, but it's still a pickup close enough to where I figured I'd share it on here. In addition to video games I also collect a variety of other things, including anime. I've been on the look out for the original Pioneer box sets for Sailor Moon with the original english dub on them for years, like as in close to a decade. This is nothing compared to my GF who has literally wanted these since they first came out in 2003, but given how insanely expensive anime was back then she was never able to afford any of them. But this evening we found them for really cheap, like a fraction of what they go for on ebay, and I can finally say I own them! There is still one more boxset I need, but considering I have three out of four now I'm super happy about it still





In other news, I also picked up Armored Core: For Answer on the PS3 for $10 today as well lol

I was going to get this later but I couldn't resist. It's been a blast so far!

A couple weeks and I've been on a hunt for odd and weird games from overseas.
Also picked up another odd game console.

SWITCH
- Dead Cells
- SNK Heroines - Collector's Edition

PS4
- Spider-Man - Collector's Edition
- Dead Cells
- Ace of Seafood (speaking of weird games) lol
- Aaero
- Aaero (cover 2)

XBone
- Shadow of the Tomb Raider - Steelbook Edition
- Shenmue I & II

VITA
- Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir

PS3
An odd game that never got a US release.
- Short Peace: Ranko Tsukigime's Longest Day

Wii
- Trackmania: Build to Race
- Kidz Sports: Basketball

NDS
- Asphalt Urban GT

PS2
Bought A bunch of weird and odd PS2 games and most where pretty cheap.
- Dog of Bay
This is a rhythm game where the singers are dog people. 
- Mojib-Ribbon
Another rhythm game that's has a cool style to it.
- Vib-Ripple
The sequel to Vib-Ribbon, but you bounce on any picture you download.
- Dream Mix TV World Fighters
It's a Super Smash Bros. clone with toys and mascots from Japan, Saw you can play as the Optimus Prime toy form the 80s and had to get it. lol
- Seaman 2
Yes there's a sequel to Seaman. lol
- Honoo no Takuhaibin
Imagine a beat-em Up where you play a package delivery man delivering packages.
- The Tairyou Jigoku
A survival horror about bugs. sure why not. lol
- The Daibijin
A godzilla game but with a giant woman in a bikini. stay weird Japan. lol
- Splatter Master
Kinda reminds me of the cute Splatterhouse game that made on Famicom.

PS1
- Segare Ijiri
A weird platformer game where you combine Japanese words and get weird videos.

SNES
My local used game store got in a game I wanted.
- The Adventures of Batman & Robin

SFAM
- Barbarossa
I'm a history buff and Sammy released a WWII strategy game where you play as the Germans attacking Russia. But the kicker is you can't win the game. At a point the game will not let you win. lol

I picked this up for a decent price. It's a custom Arcade dual sticks that plays over 500 arcade games. It has a Pandora's Box 5 in it and works really well. It's nice to hook up when you want to play obscure arcade games. Not sure why it says Xbox 360 with Nintendo characters on the front but it adds to the weirdness. lol

GEN
Picked up this from my local used game store for $4.
- Judge Dredd (CIB)

GG
My local used game store got in some Game Gear games and I saw one I needed.
- Legend of Illusion

NES
I honestly forgot I ordered this. lol
But I'm glad I did.
- Holy Diver - Collector's Edition

And last a new game console from Brazil. It's known as one of the worst named consoles ever.
- The Dick Smith Wiz-Zard
But many like calling it "The Dick Wizard" or "The Dick Wiz". lol I love the console even has a picture of Dick Smith on the console.

And that's my pick ups for the last couple weeks.

I really want to get into imports on PS2.

[shfan]

There's a lot of interesting/quirky titles from the Simple Series released on PAL PS2 that are worth a look, though my highest recommendation for anyone from NA importing PAL titles would be Gregory Horror Show.

[bikingjahuty]

I really want to get into imports on PS2.

There's a lot of great stuff that we never got from Japan. I've been passively buying import PS2 games for several years now and still have quite a few more titles I'm after. I highly recommend the Sega Ages 2500 series as well as several excellent shooters that were never brought to the US, at least on the PS2.

[ignition365]

I need to get a PS2 that can play PAL/NTSC-J games before I start doing that, but I basically want to get all of the EU exclusives and pretty much any JP games that are playable without knowing Japanese.

[burningdoom]

I have broken free from the constraints of the XBox One! Now I get actual exclusives, too!

[redblaze57]

Now I get actual exclusives, too!

When the sheer amount of exclusives kicks in.

Ninendo ds console phat mario kart pack

The mario kart pack sure brings back some memories. Still have the very same sleeve of my older pack in lesser shape. Traded my phat in for a ds lite pretty early on back in the day no regrets but It's pretty nice to hold a ds phat once again not to mention to have this nostalgic pack in excellent shape. Mario kart ds has the worst 3d grapics of the mario kart franchise but the gameplay was very solid. Especially the battle mode is unmatched

Those 8 player local co op last man standing balloon battles on especially block fort are unfortunately a thing of the past. Pretty much Everyone had a ds so even with non friends local co op was not a rare thing back in the day. Sure were some intersting times to say the least, with the early days of the 3ds it came somewhat back but It's all mobile phones now unfortunately
