there's actually a few more. This is the first one, and I guess the real bonus is the sealed 3 pack of cards I can sell for way more. Not really a card collector, and don't collect what I haven't played and/or didn't want to play back in the day. Redguard was a beautiful looking game I had, but sold that. One of the games, that I go, is prob going to be a surprise later on and prob worth more. I don't think of it with money really, I just price fairly and try to get good deals. It all seems easy when the money is rolling right, but usually you don't have money when you're at your best or worst, maybe a little of both haha. Now I'm drifting. In thought.

Plan on trying out the game?

Hey, no. Been a while since I really gamed. Kinda took my gamer attitude, and sit there with a joint. Sometimes real boring, sometimes tripping. Like today, said to the kids, you all plan on going to university? You really want a degree? Take the word apart, de-gree, now switch them, gree-de. LOL. Don't want to be a miser, give it away give it away now. Sometimes I'm on, but too much off times haha. Gotta get higher or catch a better attitude and vibe. I also have a mac now, before that, had that windows on mac thing to play some games. I'm just happy with the memories already in mind from the media of games. The tv has some in there. It's like catch and release, but somehow is the progression of this chronological life we live, going and doing a'round. maybe one day we'll need everything and get everything, for now, just have some fun and try to live, but not try too hard, maybe all trying is...just that, too hard, nah, lol. I've become too much of a slacker

I want some of what he's smokin

Well, when you're married, you'll understand the importance of fresh produce

I have a thrift shop on base and it has good deals on things but you have to be there when they open or all the good stuff is gone..... Thats exactly what I did! The had put up on FB that they had redone their book and I saw the guides immediately. So i was 1 of 2 people in line when they opened. I b-lined to the guides and bought them all without looking at any titles. Supper happy with my purchase.

Very cool. Enjoy! That's really a terrific deal. 😎

Ha ha. I'm trying to find good weeds at decent prices. Bought some hiway slow lane : strain: platinum og crossed with og kush breathe. The prerolls are low thc, but this one is 27.5%. Bought the ounce, all in, $105. But it don't last too long, and some peeps be trading me things I eat and drink for some weed, haha, not good, I like weed more than snacks haha.

Trying to do more, but I guess I'll start tomorrow. Simcoe day. I can't wait for weed to be legislated fully, and there's no more, you can't fly with weed on you over here because under here, lands have not let you smoke some piff ganja and get a little more mysticized, but to be honest, to be too hippie, drifts the excess into the weed. Sometimes it seems the good things can only come with luck, and if next week, I'm not lucky, I'm betting on tomorrow to put in some grind. Sometimes it feels I'm putting up so many new thoughts like I'm paraphrasing for a screenplay. I don't really write essays to enter a contest even. And I think sometimes, maybe something of a movie, there was a stargate world binding the qualities of humanity before the inception of earth, and it was a new day, 24 hour countdown, whatever the composition, 3 winners, hailed at the venue. Than scolded and unmidased from the premise. My understanding: maybe in life, we can't become who we are or need to be in totallity, our uniqueness is in no way programmed in to this life but rather to conform and adapt. Once we get too old, we can only and have to get younger. To neverminding the small things, until the big things let go of this curtain and veil the universe without a contaminant, a futile battle of in sickness and in health, and healthy is getting through the biased messaging and doing what you need to. Wait, why am I writing again. I'm stoned, and la la la is in my head...this isn't sound. I wish they had a game for a barbarian wizard in 3d with a stunning world lol

I just got an acceptable copy of Super Returns of the Jedi for $7.42. I’ve beaten the SNES version a few times, so I’m curious to see how the GB version will differ.

I played the hell out of that Indiana Jones game. I still have the boxed game somewhere with the Grail Diary. Did yours come with the grail diary?

I own Super Indiana Jones via Wii VC, but that’s it there. I couldn’t get into it quite as well as the Super Star Wars trilogy.

But Last Crusade is one of my all-time favorite films. I can’t get enough of it!

D'oh - I was talking about the Last Crusade game that Porksta picked up for the PC

That game rules. Old-school point and click adventure.

When was the last time you made a lower-than-starting-bid offer on an eBay auction and actually had it accepted? I’m surprised to say the least.

I bought a boxed copy of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban for a little under $18. The box is a little crushed, but not too much. I don’t think it includes the manual or cardboard inlay, but I can live with those. The cart alone usually goes for $15-20 on its own, and the starting bid here was 15 (w/ $5 shipping). I offered 12, assuming it would get rejected.

On eBay, never assume that.

HP3 for GBA is lauded as the best Potter RPG, as it improves on the previous games’ groundwork and draws inspiration from Golden Sun for good measure. I will play it in December, as I always play a Harry Potter game that month.

SupremeSarna wrote:

I've not tried that as offers on auctions is a relatively newer feature I think and I don't buy on eBay too much anymore. I have won multiple auctions for under $5 over the years and of course I'm talking items that usually go for a lot more. Sometimes auctions will go relatively unnoticed, especially for stuff that isn't exactly super popular. Most of my examples are AV gear (some of these things I've won are still in use like a vga to component transcoder I use with a Dreamcast) and big box PC games. In general I'm never afraid to use the offer system though. I recently got a blu-ray I was wanting for $9 + shipping via offer. Usually sells for around $20 (many people try to get a fair bit more but it never sells for those prices) but not a common seller so I figured I had some negotiating leverage.

I played Prisoner of Azkaban on the GBA. Had RPG elements to it. Battles and such.

I also played Chamber of Secrets GBA. Very different style, the 2 of them.

@nonamesleft To answer your question… I dunno. Might be that HP is often associated with Christmas, since they always air movie marathons around then. I bought the two GBC games in 2020, and around Dec 2021, I decided to actually play one of them. I use Christmas as a hard deadline to finish most video games, since I’ll likely receive at least one game that I’ll want to start immediately. So I only hard time to play the first HP game then. I played Chamber of Secrets (GBC) last Dec, and now I’m gonna finish the trilogy.

Griptonite Games made HP 1 (GBC), HP 2 (GBC), and HP 3 (GBA). Every other Potter game was made by other studios and are generally less preferred.

Saw this “what will be for sale at my flea market” ad on Facebook, came there and it was a kiddo, told him i’d be buying everything today and he got nervous and needed an adult.

Customer next to me overheard me say “i’d be buying everything” and quickly scooped Zelda twilight princess on wii which was fine, but if it had been the GameCube version (rare) we’d have had a problem. I was there first.

Anyway, I paid the kid’s asking price of $360 after he took some time calculating it in his head, his dad said he would not help him, he needed to do this on his own, but he’d help with counting the cash lol. I’m listing nearly everything online to grow positive feedback on various reselling sites, giving zelda totk and maybe one PS5 controller to a friend if sony won’t fix their controller free.

Toys will be donated. Fun part was they had to close their booth after I left, never sold someone out before.

You ended their day? I wonder if they were happy about that or disappointed.

Reminds me of a neighborhood bake sale a few years ago. Kids were selling cookies and brownies. They called out, if I wanted to buy anything. I walked over and considered buying everything, so that they'd be all happy, but then I realized that if I do that then their day is over. So instead I think I bought all the brownies. I pointed at an area and said "I'll take all of these." I think one of the kids asked me if I was sure 😄

(Then I had to figure out what to do with all the brownies. I brought home the goods and shared it.)

hey, what pokemon stuff you got?? Might be interested in them for my kiddos

Everybody wants the Drakengard 3

Had a solid find today and might have a solid contact for some deals going forward. I reached out about a posting with 2 NES systems, 5 controllers and 10 games for sale. No power cable so untested. $100 asking price. Got to messaging and he said he had some more stuff not yet listed as he does rental stuff and property flipping and people leave stuff there all the time. When he shows up he also has a blue dualshock 2, GBA SP 101 with a couple of gameboy games and gex 3 N64. He throws all that in for another $20.

NES systems of course need new pins. Basically expected of any NES at this point. I did get the more valuable games (nothing special stuff like Metroid, SMB3, Zelda 2) working on my personal NES system. GBA SP screen is in great shape. Shell has seen far better days. All buttons working as they should.

He mentioned he will contact me when he has enough stuff to sell again, but we will see.

That’s a real deal! I’m curious about Gex… I’ll have to try the series someday. I hear it’s returning to modern platforms.

Update got one NES working after a full tear down and deep cleaning. All games work. Going to deal with the other NES another day.

OLED Switch from a shack in the middle of nowhere - $100. Just needed a dock and to be charged overnight, the battery was completely drained
I'd been trying to find a cheap OLED switch for a friend and I'm glad it's finally over

Anxiety level was at a high at this shack, not cause it was in the middle of nowhere but because of all the Yellowjackets buzzing around. I’ve been stung in the past and have a horrible reaction to them

The seller said there were over 100 people asking about it. I only got through cause I checked what other listings they had and asked about some hoodies

Lady from the thrift store let me know about an estate sale company that has a website. Been taking a look the past month or so and finally found something:

This lot was $70 after taxes and buyer's premium. The Spyro: Ripto's Rage had a second copy inside!

This lot was $165 after taxes and premium. The photos showed the stack of discs from the top, and first disc was some random crap CD. I saw some green and the word "Sony" on the rings of a couple discs peeking out, so I decided to take a chance most were video games. Other than the CD the only non game was Reno 911 which I have wanted to watch for a while. Up Your Arsenal had Going Commando inside.

All the games from both lots are in various condition and completeness, will have to get a few resurfaced.

All of these were from various thrift stores for about $25.

Any interest in selling nba streets and hot shots golf

Watch out for an old scam someone tried to put on me through facebook marketplace. He said he wanted a small deposit of $20 to hold some games I was inquiring about. He said he was getting bombarded with offers and people wasting his time trying to meet with them that he had to impose this deposit rule to make sure his buyer was serious.

I took screenshots and made a buyer beware listing about it, he blocked me.

Deposit how?

found some more pc deals I was interested in, but got the message back that it's a no go so sharing

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/66771879...

Woburn, MA - said shipping would be too much, I'm in Canada, unsure if only local but seems like

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/67405084...

saw this ad with some good games atop, all for mostly $1 - Stroudsburg, PA local it seems

Chronicles Riddick Assault on Dark Athena PC game, never opened

saw this on ebay for about $85 cad and bigger shipping and saw last one and a bunch of watchers

saw it on kijiji for $20. Asked if it could get shipped. He ok'd it. $26 CAD all in. Checked shipping price - shoulda have said I'm sure it's right, if not, I can add more/you can refund, but let me send now so you don't have to go twice to the post office...lol. But I guess I wasn't thinking. All good, not a great deal, it's new and sealed in dvd case.

I know a place that sold a 3DO today. I passed it up since it's not worth $200 to me. So now I can add another system to list of rare things I've found instead of a Game & Watch. Or a Game Boy Micro for that matter.

Yeah you can definitely find a 3DO for less than that without trying too hard anyway. What Game and Watch are you looking for?

Gotta get that Gex money, I suppose, lol.
I'd settle for whatever I can find, but if I could choose, it'd likely be Fire Attack. The black, orange, and silver color scheme are striking; it's a hinged model; I've never played the game before; the screen looks interesting even when the system is off.
