Got a copy of Wario Blast: Featuring Bomberman! Game Boy for just under $15. Not amazing, but it’s nice to get an eBay win with little opposition.

The Game Boy always has something new for me to try. Maybe I can find a reasonably-priced Perfect Dark Game Boy Color someday.

Got my Quake Ground Zero in today, looks AWESOME. Should get top buck for it. Got doom resurrection of evil for my collection.

Today, I noticed 2, well I tried for 3 deals, two pc related, but so far, didn't check - just got back - but bought a ps3 console with one controller - needed it if I'm ever to use the super slim I got - and hdmi cable, power source and charging cable. It's a CechL01 and at $80 it came with some games - god of war collection, god of war origins collection no manual, aliens colonial marines, castlevania lords of shadow no manual, aliens vs. predator but it's the UK edition, and mass effect 2. I figured I could easily offload the 2 god of wars for $50 already, making it a deal for $30. Keeping the controller, might keep mass effect 2, but I don't know if I'll ever get around to playing video games on ps3 again. It's on the table, here and there, get something else to do to change the pace, we'll see, no promises but finally have a controller lol

My bro and his family moved into a new house, and the owner kindly abandoned his Xbox One X.

There wasn’t a controller, and I won’t test it until I have one. Looking forward to giving Rare Replay a whirl when I buy a digital copy (gotta get that Goldeneye, yo).

Even before 007 was added Rare Replay is an amazing value. So many quality titles in one pack! grin

That's a bit surprising of a Find @SupremeSarna The white X1X was a Robot special edition - now sure how 'rare' it is for a SE, but it's at the very least non-standard for the 1X.

Sweet. There's data on it as well, like installed YouTube, Netflix, and Disney+ apps. I couldn't navigate to explore without the controller, but I also saw around 100,000 G on it. I'm not familiar with modern Xbox stuff, so does someone here know what that's used for?

In other news, I managed to snag Perfect Dark Game Boy Color for $27.14 today.
[imgt w=1200 h=1600]https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/C-gAAOSw7kpjzS1p/s-...[/imgt]
It's currently valued at $27.13 cart-only, so that extra penny went toward the slightly beaten-up box. This is the kind of auction I like to see--an effortless win with no opposition for an old, novelty Nintendo game, with the original box/manual accompanying it. Had seven other watchers, so I'm surprised no one bothered to snipe. Can't complain, of course.

I might get a replacement battery cover for that rumble pack, but we'll see if anybody has one cheap.

The G, then in the top left corner, under their screen name is the gamerscore - how many achievement points that account earned.
The key thing, once you get a controller will be to see what's installed on it and is owned by that account and thus available for you to play. That'll be under 'My games & apps' - you'll want to go down to full library and see in the main panel what's under Owned Games.

Wait, does that mean it still has the previous owner's account signed in there?

Guess I didn't make that "good" of a deal on the ps3, but decided to keep it over the super slim as it can stand, so than, it takes up less room. Tomorrow selling the slim and some games for $85. Bought another ps3 for $80, used up one fare throughout cuz there is a 2 hour transfer window, and on the way back, took a transfer in case it would be over, and will sell the games for give or take $50-$55. So will make $50 at least and got a controller and switched ps3. I won't download too many games, and prob won't play all that much. The other games are from the lot I got an ok to buy a long while back, still got a ton of games for it left, both xbox 360 and ps3, and added 3 in for cheap, but wanted to make the deal better cuz that's what I do when they buy off me. The more you buy, the better deals you get. Tried out some games yesterday, and keeping most wanted, sega sonic all stars racing, an nba game that froze halfway through the install, so I was like keeping it will try again, but got another nba game, and nhl game. Gotta get some more games to try when I get bored. We'll see.

I couldn't decide on which model PS3 I liked more, so I decided on all 3. laughing out loud

Any Lego fans here? Picked these up at lunch:

Top two sets are brand new (although the Fortress has been opened nothing has been removed), bottom two of the large sets look to be previously assembled. The mini sets I will have to take a closer look, I do not believe the pieces inside match the box. Paid about $150 for everything.

Wowzer! That's some vintage LEGO! I don't envy the price, but it's very cool you managed to acquire those CIB!

Awesome! Those are some real vintage sets over there. Very nice. Lego is great. Where'd you find those? Just curious.

At a local thrift store. Put together the Wizard and the Wagon sets and so far only two total pieces are missing. Definite win so far.

Yeah, definite win. I like when people from GTZ have great finds :)

Which pieces are missing? We have some random mixed Lego. Maybe those pieces are mixed in.

The wizard's clear goblet and a blue horse saddle. They may be mixed among the other sets so I get to put them all together!

Sounds like fun :)

If at the end there are pieces missing let me know which, and I'd be happy to look through our container.

Nice! Pretty sure I had the top left of the pic as a kid.
