I wouldn't say I got an amazing deal, but I didn't pay retail. All are 100% complete and Chrono Trigger is absolutely mint.

Good lord, congrats!

Went to some garage sales. No one had anything. Talked to an old lady who said her daughter was trying to sell her old "Seka" collection  .
Her daughter was 50. Yeah, anyway waiting for a call on what Seka games she has.
Other than that, went out GS dumpster diving and pulled out some crazy stuff.
Official PS3 headset
Afterglow PS3 headset
a madden ea headset for 360
usual promo posters, gameinformers, promo buttons and pins blah blah blah
Some controllers, line rider 2 for ds, 2 ps memory cards, and some other random ps2 titles.

ended up keeping the ps3 headsets and Line Rider 2
traded the rest the other day to my guy at the flea market who loves promotional stuff. (which is great for me!)

Thanks guys. The funny thing is, I've been looking for all of those complete for years at a reasonable price and they literally walked through my front door on Friday night. We had an RGS meet up at my house and someone brought them in for sale/trade. I was excited to say the least.

I picked these up from a library sale. They were $2 each.

That's crazy!  P4Arena's not even that old!

[atariboy]

Picked all these up at a local thrift store for $1 each:


Picked these up at a yard sale, I threw them all in with a 12.1MP Sony Cybershot camera for $8.



Then I went to a yard sale where they had a free box and in it there was a black box that I opened and lo and behold 2 Super Mario watches I went to the lady and asked if they were free and she said they were cuz they didn't work (Dead Battery) I ended up giving her $5 (all I had left in my Wallet) which she didn't want to take but finally did.

Well the mailman came and gave me a special package. It's a new gaming console I can add to my collection, and it is one of my top 10 rarest consoles by far. And most of you most likely never heard of it. lol
 A Funtech Super A'Can


It was only released in Taiwan and came out about the same time as the PS1 and N64 and failed big time. It's graphics and gameplay are the same as a SNES. Only a small hand full of games where ever released on this thing. I got one game with it.
- Adventures in Africa


It's basically a Monopoly style party game that takes place on an African safari but what is funny is the characters you play are from 6 different countries and as Germany you play as Adolf Hitler. wow. the US you play as Madonna lol and Europe you play as Sherlock Holmes. Only in Taiwan. lol

Ha, I heard about an "American" restaurant in Asia that had a confederate flag up as part of the decor... the little nuances of stereotypes

Mostly been snagging stuff on Steam and GOG, partly to keep my costs down, and because I'm running really short on space to store games until we get moved into a bigger place.

- Nox
- Silent Storm - Gold Edition
- SimCity 2000 - Special Edition
- Syndicate

Plus I finally, FINALLY got a copy of Front Mission 5: Scars of the War, which was on my wishlist for a looong time because I was having trouble finding a black label copy, which is the only version that's compatible with the English fan translation.

Not really a purchase, but I've also been checking out the open beta for Neverwinter Online, and am really enjoying it. Pretty stable for me too, despite the occasional glitch, and they've confirmed that beta characters will carry over to final release. Much woot!
