Checking on my sealed copy allowed me to rediscover its the dvd edition (the one I got today was cd), which are going for $80 on amazon right now.
Yay!
Now I just hope the slightly peeled pieces of back boxart ren't going to affect the selling of it. |

legend basically go to cheapassgamer and look for a thread called reduced price guides thread x or whatever in video game deals.
it posts all stores guide penny dates etc..
gamestop just did theirs on the 17th so most are gone now. but when you see the date posted go that day and you can usually snag a few before they shred the guides.
the catch is 90% of gamestops will decline you at the register but some you will get lucky if your only taking a few. |

just dont be greedy and you should be fine.
the one i went into had 5 star ocean second evo guides i just basically politely asked what they were doing with them.
guy at register said they were being trashed and i asked if i could take one as i was looking for one.
he said sure and i walked out happy with a read copy of star ocean. |

I hit up the local Salvation Army:
All are complete; discs in great condition and one has a ruffled cover art insert:
Wave Race: Blue Storm (GC) - $3
Doom 3: Limited Edition (Xbox) - $5
Star Wars: Rogue Squadron 2 (GC) - $3
The cashier flipped off a pricing clerk as I paid, as all games are now $5. I guess they only stickered Doom 3 as such...lame.
Passed on Tony Hawk 3 (GC) for $3.
Another independent thrift store merged its electronics section with the smelly clothes area without supervision, so people steal from electronics very frequently now and anything video-game related is now a very rare occurrence. (I previously got a sealed Kirby: Canvas Curse for $3 at this store, among other deals.) |

You could have bought a few decent games instead of a bunch of crap like outdated NBA & NFL games, and Mojo? Why the crap did you buy Mojo? I got that for free a few years ago and felt ripped off. |

I heard the first Singstar PS3 bundle trades in for like $35 at Blockbuster, but I think the newer one is less. FYI Blockbuster is doing buy 1 get 1 free on used game $14.99 or less starting on 6/30 (Tuesday I think). |

Really? Thanks for the tip, will be checking out blockbuster on that date then. And the ones at good will wasn't bundle, just the game, so I guess they might not go so much. |

I'm in Huntington Indiana right now, went to an indie game store called collectors box and on the door was an eBay powerseller sticker so I didn't expect to find anything, but found network adapter for 25, na with disc were 50 though so they must think it's useless without it.

ok so finally after lil over an hour of hardcore cleaning everything with goo gone and rubbing alcohol.
everything works from the start heres the defects.
snes adaptor doesnt power up not sure if loose wire or its dead.
one of the controllers works perfect like new other has a cracked r button on its left side but does work
snes system works fine but eject button sticks so you have to hold it down then pull out the cartridge.
all in all im very very pleased just played un squadron for 30 mins and its still as awesome as it was back then. |

Yeah, that's the point. When i cash in store credit for DS systems, its to bundle with spare games I have that aren't selling fast enough. But I don't amass a giant DS collection and them piece it out every 4 months (along with the system) just to have to do the same process over again. Not to mention you reacquire the same games you didn't get around to playing the first 5 times you had them. Plus, when I do it, I profit, you don't. Plus I've never been without a DS (even though it took me forever to get my first one). Plus, I don't trade Ds games on goozex, I acquire them for overpriced 360 and PS3 bullcrap. Plus, Etrian odyssey SUCKS.

No it doesn't. Just because they give queer names to the same old D&D classes doesn't mean it's not a chore of a dungeon crawler. Landsknecht, yeah right. Be thankful i didn't direct my ire towards that useless Suikoden game.

Hope you plan on keeping that stuff, and it all works nicely (and includes all the cables necessary). I'm pretty sure that you could have come across both system bundles for a little cheaper.

Do you have any Sega CD discs to check out the those parts? I never owned anything Sega as a kid, and when someone I worked with gave me her Genesis/Sega CD, I couldn't get the Sega CD part working. I was so bummed.

Everything works though the model 1 Sega CD sometimes takes 2 or 3 tries with the power switch to turn on, not a big deal. The auction actually listed the model 1 Sega CD as a "maybe not working" item because the seller didn't know how to turn it on. When I got it I heard something rattling inside and didn't turn on, so I felt ripped off. Then tried it again and it powered up and loaded a football game. I eject the tray and found a College Football disc.
Also for some reason, the Street Fighter games will not work on the model 2 Genesis + either 32x, but work fine on the model 1 Genesis + either 32x. They also work on the model 2 Genesis without a 32x.
I'm enjoying MK1 and Virtua Fighter. I'm also bidding on CIB Fatal Fury Special and Samurai Shodown for the Sega CD. |
