Damn it my economy and my time has been reduced to almost anything, hope that everybody has better luck than me with all your purchases, with this being said let's begin.

That is a cruel trick indeed. Lol.

I can relate to lacking on both money and time. I did manage to score a few games in March:
Cotton: Fantastic Night Dreams (PC Engine CD)
Cotton 2: Magical Night Dreams (SS)
Pop'n Twinbee (SFC)
Pop'n Twinbee is on the way from Australia at a good price, should get it within a week or two. With Krikzz finally releasing the Turbo Everdrive PRO (https://krikzz.com/our-products/cartridges/turbo-everdrive-pro.html) I got some save some coin for that; need to replace my Duo with a PC Engine model that's compatible with it. Not sure what I'll have by May. My focus has shifted to collect more PC Engine and Saturn games, but I'll grab anything that looks like a good deal in my book.

Posted in the wrong thread!
Actual decent deals at GameStop right now.
I got the Zelda & Loftwing and Samus & EMMI Amiibo for $5 each. And they've got a B1G1 sale on new games right now. Relatively limited selection unfortunately, but if there are some titles you want it might be worth checking out.
I got Octopath Traveler II on Switch and The Callisto Protocol on PS5.
This is on top of getting Triangle Strategy from GameFly (incidentally, the best big business to buy used games from right now)

See a sale about to open and ask if he had any video games, he said he had a few Nintendo games, then he said they didn't sell from last year and he had just under Ebay prices. I thought oh no.... I see three games and they where marked $2 each. (was this Ebay 2012?) I offer $5 for the three and he was happy about that.

At another sale I ask a lady about video games and she starts talking about she just found her old Nintendo and was playing it. I ask if she wanted to sell but she said no, but she might sell some of the games she doesn't play. She brings out all the games and goes through them and says she would sell these 5 games. She asked $5 each, I offered I'd take them all for $20 and she was happy with that.
