Title: Just found in my basement....
Post by: justin8301 on May 10, 2013, 07:51:11 pm: So I was cleaning out my basement and I found a copy of the Earthbound Players Guide. Funny thing is I never owned the game. Not sure where or when I picked it up but it's here now, lol. Now I have to decide if I want to keep it or sell it.

Has anyone else had anything like that happen before, you find something awesome that you didn't know you had?

You might PM a user named PatrickMeansley. I think he was shopping around for one.

I live in an apartment, so I don't stumble across stuff that much.

Funny thing is, I remember I some how ended up w/ 2 copies. I think it was because the issue hadn't arrived yet and I thought it was lost in the mail, so I bought it. Then a few days later it came in the mail...

Not nearly as valuable of a find as your Earthbound guide though. ha

Pretty awesome find :P

Unfortunately, I have never found anything in storage anywhere that valuable. Just found my old mission: impossible and hexen for the 64 but thats about it.
