Post by: Flashback2012 on July 02, 2017, 10:48:40 am: Went to the flea (not theflea, the flea market ;)) and traded in some guides I had extra. A lot of them weren't in the best of shape and was just looking to unload them but a few I had netted me $20 store credit. I was able to trade them for Captain Silver on SMS CIB. I also picked up Hang On GP for Sega Saturn and Thunder Strike 2 on PS1 but the highlight of the trip was that I found a Genesis 1 deck that can play the early unlicensed titles like Budokhan and Zany Golf. They had a few of the early accolade games in store that were unlicensed that we used to test with. I've been after one of these decks for I don't know how long now.

A couple of days prior in June we took a trip up to Columbus and visited some of the game shops there. I traded some stuff to a shop owned by a friend of mine and in exchange picked up Pokken Tournament on WiiU, Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters Daybreak: Special Gigs PS4, Animal Paradise Wild DS, Yu-Gi-Oh Destiny Board Traveler (with cards!) GBA, Space Race & Naruto Uzamaki Chronicles 2 on PS2. At another shop I found PGA Tour Golf II on Genesis as well as the Light/Dark Spire sets for Skylanders Trap Team and Polar Whirlwind figure ($5 each and B2G1F to boot). ;D

I panicked on my copy. I tried my Retron5 & 3 different NESs. Well, the Retron won't load it; and it turns out that my new TV won't display an NES hooked up through RF. :-\ So, I ended up playing it in the garage on my old CRT

I grabbed Has Been Heroes on the ole Switch-a-roo for a cool $10 new at Gamestop 8)

Post by: Flashback2012 on July 07, 2017, 02:10:46 am: I picked up Super Mario Maker and Yoshi's Wooly World for WiiU a couple of hours ago. Meijer ran a one-day special where you could get 50% off one Wii or WiiU game if you had their MPerks program. I was hoping to get Mario Maker and the Paper Mario WiiU game but the latter was sold out already. :( I was able to get two games because I have the MPerks for myself and I also have access to my roommates' account. ;)

Not gaming related but apparently they were also doing some other deep discounting on clearance toys where anything listed as clearance got an additional 50% off. I meandered through their toy aisle looking for Christmas/birthday presents on the cheap and found a couple of LEGO & Shopkins building block sets. They must've put a bunch of the bigger LEGO sets on clearance because that aisle was stripped bare of product. I did see some clearance shelf tags for some World of Nintendo stuff but those peg hooks were already picked clean. :o :-\

PS3
- Conflict: Denied Ops ($2)

Wii
Saw a lot of crappy Wii games, and this was the only one I bought for $2. lol
- Epic Mickey

I stopped at a sale and ask about games, the lady asks her kids and one said he had a DS, he brings out a case full of loose DS games, and they where pretty much all crap and I only saw one I was missing. A ask if he had the cases and he said he'd go look. He comes back with not only a stack of DS cases but a stack of PS2 and 3DS games.
I make a stack of what I was interested in and ask a price, Was told $15 and paid the kid.
3DS
- Super Mario 3D Land
- New Super Mario Bros. 2

PS2

PS1
I stop at a sale and see a huge stack of PS1 games on a table, I see many hot games and she was asking $3 a piece. I ask if she'd do 6 for $15 and she agreed. Then she said someone already bought a bunch of them earlier. Due to so many resellers in the area I was kinda surprised these where left behind, including a rare game that is selling online for $80-$90. :o
- Rayman
- Rayman 2
- Spyro 2
- Crash Bandicoot 2
- Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped
- Namco Museum Vol. 5 ;D

At the town wide sale I stop at a sale and ask about games, the guy said he had some old video games. I tell him sure I'll take a look. I turn around and notice a reseller behind me. He waits too. (oh oh) He brings out a box and the reseller stays close to see what it is and I open it and see its full of Atari 2600 games. The reseller laughs and runs to the next sale. (kinda glad, he probably would have tried to cut in if it was Nintendo or Sega stuff) I ask a price for it all and was told $25. I have a soft spot for Atari and ask if he'd take $20 for it all and he agreed. So I got 55 games for $20. I can't say no. ;)

I see and ad for a garage sale that's about 20 miles from my house advertise "Super Nintendo". :o
I get there a little over and hour early and see that they haven't opened yet and no one else was waiting.
They open their garage and start setting up about 45 minutes before they listed to be open. As I walk up the guy gets an attitude yelling at me "I'm not open til 8, comeback!" I thought crap and turn to leave then he yells "was there something you wanted?" I tell him I was only interested in the Super Nintendo. He apologizes about yelling at me, saying he was having a hectic day and tells me to come on in. He pulls out a box and pulls out a SNES with 10 games, Enforcer Light Gun, A Mario Guide and a stack of manuals. I ask a price and he tells me that someone already Emailed him and offered $100 and asked him to hold it. He told him he couldn't hold it and first with cash gets it. I at first was thinking $100 was kinda steep. But Looking at the games and seeing they where all in almost perfect shape and came with manuals and a light gun it's still a great deal. So I gave him the $100.

Post by: tripredacus on July 10, 2017, 10:55:29 am: Years ago I let someone borrow Katamari Damacy and We Love Katamari on PS2. I reckoned it was ok because I had already beaten them, albeit never did 100% all items (Its ok, I still have my saves on the memory card.) and didn't want to play them anymore. That person disappeared and I had to accept those games were gone. And to make matters worse, it seems those games now had a cult following and were difficult to find!

So I went to the local game store and traded in a bunch of Xbox, Xbox 360 games and some Genesis and Odyssey 2 dupes (there was a few they wouldn't take such as any Japanese imports, Atari 8-bit or Demo discs. They also offered 10 cents for Pole Position II CIB for 7800... I think I'll keep it for now). And in return I got the Retron 5 3-in-1 Adapter (allows for Game Gear, SMS and Sega/MyCard) and Katamari Damacy on PS2.

500GB White Xbox 360 Slim for $5
Wii Sports Club for $15

Phantom Brave Wii with the extra disc for $5
A couple of N64 sports games I was missing for $2 each

Post by: Flashback2012 on July 23, 2017, 10:00:25 am: Hit a small mother load of older PC games at Half Price Books yesterday. I found a couple of big box games that had been languishing there for months and they finally marked them down to a price I was willing to pick them up for. I also found a few small box PC games as well as some jewel-case ones including...

Bad Mojo: The Roach Game (BB) $3
The Search For Ancient Wisdom (BB) $3
Fate: Undiscovered Realms (SB) $3
Nibiru: Age of Secrets (SB) $5
Realms of Illusion $6 (SB)
Darkness Within (SB) $5
The Journeyman Project 3: Legacy of Time (Jewel) $3
Microsoft Pinball Arcade (Jewel) $2
3-D Ultra Mini Golf (Jewel) $2
The Dig (Jewel) $2

On the same trip I also found Viva Pinata for XB360 in very nice shape for $8. I've been low key looking for this one for a while now and most of the time when I come across one it will be missing the slipcover. If it does have the slipcover, odds are it will be destroyed. This one had a small chip on the corner but I'll live with it. ;)

Back to PC though, last week HPB was running their week long %-off sale and I scored a nicely packaged The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings that includes a DVD w/bonus materials, Soundtrack CD and a mini guide. I also happened upon a CIB copy of an older PC game called Noctropolis. I picked it up on the last day of their sale which had your highest priced item for 50% off. I let my cousin use my coupon so he could get an semi-expensive art book and told the guy he used it but the guy went ahead and marked the game off for me anyway so I got it for $7.50. :)

The Diablo II discs were from the Battle Chest, which I had found the empty box a couple months ago. It seems my new favorite thing is to buy empty box for cheap and then try to find the game later. Sometimes works out, sometimes not.

The lady said it was in "good condition but rarely used" and wow was she understating it. I went to add it here and it wasn't listed so I added it. My goal of getting as many Skyrim's as possible is starting to ramp up. Have almost all US releases, just need a few more then I can start internationally. :D

Walked up the driveway and see a man hooking up a NES in the garage. I ask if he's selling and he was but he wanted $50 just for the NES alone. I'll pass. He only had two games. Ice Hockey for $5 and this other game for $20.
The game was in such perfect shape I bought it as a label upgrade.
- Contra

This last sale I stop and ask about games and the lady said she had a NES and Atari. I ask to see them but she at first didn't want to bring them out. After a little talking with her she finally goes to get them. She brings out a large tub with NES, Atari, INTV and Colecovision games. Only the Atari system was in there. She tells me she might sell some but wasn't going to sell them all. I pick out a few. (most of the NES was crap) and she wouldn't sell thye stack for less then $20. There was two Colecovision games in there that's kinda hard to find and I was missing in my collection so for that reason alone it was worth it.

Wow, so Goodwill is now forcing people to buy games on good faith and not letting them return it if the disks look like they were used as a coaster, much less if the disk is actually in there? I knew Goodwill was a sham charity group and they've become greedy as all hell, but this is some scam artist BS right here.

I think it was just bullshit of the employees being too damn lazy to label them individually. There were 5 games in one of those bags they stuff toys in to sell a bundle. Yep, I couldn't open it to even see if it was the right disc or if there was even a disc.

Goodwill is a corporation

Supposed to be a non-profit business. You know, a charity of sorts. Yet, of all the donations they receive, video games are the one thing they like to gouge people on.

They are a 100% for profit company, nothing goes to charity. I know their name implies that- but they support nothing but making money on donations.

Despite the fact that folks like to throw this around, Goodwill is in fact a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization. Yes, they have a revenue of over $5 billion, 87% of that goes directly to their charitable and community programs. The other 13% goes towards business costs.

Post by: burningdoom on August 02, 2017, 12:59:56 pm: I personally teach computers to some disabled adults that have gotten jobs at Goodwill, when they likely would not have been hired elsewhere.

So I can personally say that I know Goodwill does good.

Do some profits go into people's pockets? Well of course, they have bills to pay as well. But what other corporation do you know that trains, gives jobs to, and helps disabled adults get jobs elsewhere with their profits? This includes training, job searching, paperwork help, providing them proper clothing and materials to find a job or to accommodate them for a job that requires it.
