A 2nd & Charles opened up near me a few years ago. I popped in but being a retail store didn't really seem like anything worth my time. I had nothing else to do a few weeks ago so I decided to check it out. The items are actually pretty fairly priced and I picked a few undervalued anime sets. I had a 10% off coupon, so I decided to go back today:

Two anime sets are new and sealed, about $20 for the pair before discount. Red Dead is for my collection and it was $36 before discount. No codes but everything else is there.

I guess someone traded in a binder of disc only games but instead of pricing, the store just inventoried them as a loose game and slapped a $5 price tag on them. Everything in this photo (plus a Catan magnet I got as a Xmas gift for my parents) was $84 after 10% discount.

... did they just slap the sticker on the discs themselves? D:

gosh darn, those stickers are cringe. Better hope none of the disc labels were loose or bubbling or had a cracked ring, or else you're gonna take data off when you peel the stickers up. Why the fudge would they do that

Those stickers come off real easy. Now if they used those security stickers they used on the back of games and dvds with the metal in the sticker then that would be trouble. 2nd & Charles was awesome when they first came here. The first year or so was a 4 day a weeker. Now though its once a quarter. Still get a little something here and there though. Good finds though Porksta.

Yeah the stickers really aren't bad at all. Wish more places used stickers like that. I did ask if I could take the sticker off Red Dead before I bought it and had no issues.

Those metal stickers are a dog and a half. The "void" stickers come off easy, but other stickers with metal inside are a nightmare.

I purchased a bunch of games from a Library sale last year and was probably only able to successfully remove one of the metal library stickers without causing major cover art damage. I decided to just leave them on for the remainder.

I will advocate Unduh for sticker removal though. I was able to get some nasty old rental stickers off of a few N64 boxes and cartridges without damaging the label or cardboard.

That must be a "deal" that varies from GameStop location to another, because my local store still had it for around the price I paid, but not on clearance anymore (another store in my area, not the same one). It's one of those YMMV deals.

Nah its on the site, i'm picking up Persona 5 Strikers for $5 from my store today, order is ready. No stores by me had 13 sentinels which makes me sad.

Nah it was the Ghosts of Mount Dew Voo Doo Past.

I'm really happy to have found this at a resale shop yesterday for $9!

I remember being really interested in this about 4 years ago but never bought it due to the high price and numerous $20 expansion sets.

The cards are all still sealed, and the device still has plastic on it. I don't think this was ever used. I'm really looking forward to playing with it!

*Side Note* Harmonix really knows how to make devices that take up a ton of space

Nice find! It's pretty fun for an hour or two.

I'm a big fan of EDM/remixes. I was probably a DJ in another life. I don't plan to use this thing daily or anything, but I know I'll get quite a bit of mileage. Especially since you can save your own mixes :D

I won Conker's Pocket Tales for $11.45, about $9 cheaper than its value. Nothing fantastic, but a nice way to cap off the year. I played CBFD in January, after all.

Of course it is--Conker's always been a clean guy!

Local game store was doing their annual sale. Grabbed all this for $225 after tax.

Not bad. Still trying to justify getting a SNES myself...but I only have like 1 game I'd wanna play: My SFC copy of Star Ocean. >_<

Oduomega wrote:

Yeah I'm very happy with it. I already have a SNES but I've been playing it a lot lately so I figured a back-up isn't the worst idea.

Deals were

Buy a console get $25 store credit which is available for immediate use (so then the SNES became $75)
Any games you buy for a system you buy are 25% off which then stacks with buy one get one free they were offering on all used games under $49.99 and under.

I figure it's a solid deal by like $40-50 and a "free" SNES.

I've got a PAC-MAN itch, so I nabbed a GBC/GBA lot for $9.54. I went back and forth on whether or not to buy it at all, but the seller ultimately compromised and took my offer. I've already got the BIONICLE game, but I might try the SpongeBob game since TheLonelyGoomba on YouTube seemed to like it.

That Spongebob game is from my childhood. I still have my sister's old copy. It's an okay platformer for what it is.

Went back for more today most of this is available.

What’s a modest counter offer

Albert Odyssey, Dragon Force, Panzer II Zwei, and the three Shining games are $1000 all together...

Foxhack wrote:

I'd say $1500 just for those even. This is uh...yeah I'm intrigued to see what happens here.

Cool stack of games for sure, I'm liking that DS title selection.

Foxhack wrote:

Yeah, but Lunar: Dragon Song is worth -$10220303

@EclipseLion Go buy that pile.

Wow, why not send a bag of poop instead? :P

It’s a bust guys (possibly exaggerating on my end, just hate when what’s in the picture doesn’t match what they say cause they haven’t updated the post), he doesn’t everything that’s featured the pictures anymore, and wants $2,000 for everything that’s left

He sold Dragon Force, Myst, Virtua fighter 2, Warcraft II, and Lunar: the Silver Star on sega cd

Then he changed the price of the DS lot from $500 to $770

My guesses were some kind of bogus post for attention or stolen.

That guy sucks.

Admiral wrote:

Well in his defense he’s asking $2,000 obo, that was what he replied when I said I’d like to buy everything on Friday at our local police department for both our safety if that’s cool. From the heavy hitters that @foxhack mentioned he’s only missing dragon force. All games are cib

I’ll go with $1,500 and see what happens, can always say no and walk

Foxhack wrote:

Could use it for next secret Satan.....

Someone's getting Lunar DS and a candle next year

He agreed to $1500 for what he has left, but it said it like a snob so I’m having second thoughts

“Is that all you have? Well.. I guess I could it let it go for that low” He said

This whole situation is weird, interested to see what happens.
