They do it to conserve space - CE's basically sell when the game first launches or not at all.  So the ones that get overproduced end up just taking up space.  Heck, you can go on YouTube & find videos of people dumpster diving at GS to get stuff like that...which is kinda....

Jealous of that Wii One Piece - been looking to add that one to my collection ever since someone here pointed out how rare it is.

after 3 days of neighborhood garage sales (must have hit over 200 sales in the last 3 days)


Great haul but you must have spent like $100 in gas. This is something that I've started to factor in when it comes to yard sales. Sure I've found $20 games for a buck or two but I would spend $25 in gas driving around all day, plus wear and tear on the car so it was really a wash.

I know, I know, it's all about the "hunt" for some but after doing this for over 20 years I'm starting to look at online buying as easier on both myself and my vehicle.

Honestly it wasn't that bad, spent maybe half a tank of gas, and half a tank costs me $30. Remember it was Neighborhood sales, one alone had 90+ sales in one area. I don't drive to each sale, I park and walk.  ;D
trust me you will get to the sales faster then the guy who gets in his car every time. There's usually so much traffic that's its slower that way.

Wasn't expecting to grab anything today, but I got Little Big Planet GOTY edition for PS3 at the thrift shop and turns out they sell cassette tapes there for about 20 cents a piece, so I picked through about 15 of the best clear ones I could I could find to turn them into Game Boy cases once I get the template :)
