That Pokemon stuff really went nuts, great find.

All the thrifts here, at least in town, list all but the most bulk of games online. The rural ones though, I'm still able to find nice stuff now and then.

YOU GOTTA BELIEVE!!!!!

I went back to the flea market yesterday, dug through 12 boxes full of DVDs inside a trailer, and walked away with these:

Two more DVDs for the Platinum Disc Corp collection! The cases are unfortunately trashed. Tomboy is sealed and apparently worth some cash. Zap 21 is also worth quite a bit on ebay. The Sims 3 expansion thing is for Origin so maybe I can get something in exchange for it. Not pictured was a Led Zeppelin DVD for my record store owner buddy's store.

The seller raised the price on me though. Annoyingly. Bleh.

He had a ton of interesting movies and stuff for the DVD game project, but a lot of it was trashed, had water damage, was missing discs, or was foreign. So maybe next week he'll give me a discount. We'll see.

Well, I never got the commodore discs of games. Guess the listing got deleted, and he never got back to me, or the shipping was too high, but prob the first. Never got back to me. Kinda rude, but it was to be pro bono, so what can you do.

Got recoil in jewel for $11 shipped recently. Have a copy out already, but if/when it sells, I got another...lol.

Trying to get 2 more deals. Will post deets when they're enroute.

Had been wanting the Japanese release of Lucky Star for a bit now but the price is pretty gnarly, especially considering what US copies can be had for (and I could argue the US DVDs, which are dirt cheap, are a better experience than the US BD). But anyway I had been wanting it mostly for the art box and ended up winning an auction from Japan for ~$55 after all was said and done.

Garden of Sinners was $140, also a good price for the Limited box in this condition and completeness.

Of course. I love them very much.

The black and white kitty (Dotty) was very sick as a kitten. I actually wasn't sure if she would make it.

I hit a couple of block sales here in Baltimore over the weekend - I got everything in the pics below for $50 and will hopefully be hooking up with the seller for more games soon. I was excited enough for the DS games, but friends have told me that the real find are the horror themed shirts. I'm planning on using them as raffle prizes for the cult movie night I host, but it's always fun to get an inadvertent good deal. My appraisal skills are largely limited to video games and D&D stuff but sometimes I just bring home stuff that seems neat or useful that ends up being valuable.

Damn those shirts are sick

terrible deal, lol, but wanted to get out of the house, saw it was close, it was $15 CAD, so I said $12? Than had to use 3.30 for fare, but was somewhere else, didn't get to enjoy it that much, but summer is just starting up. Gotta get good and roll lol

Anyways, right 4 games, are complete. so i did ok, but i mean, not really haha, the rest aren't complete, battle pack missing 2 of the rome discs, battle field 2 incomplete discs, battlefield 1942 anthology doesn't have key, age of empires III not enough cds, half life 2 doesn't have cd key lol

i guess for wanting to get out of the house, I did just that lol

the other 2 deals, no one is replying today,,,what the lol

got fallout 1 for mac in jewel case for $10, than sent $6 for shipping to cover single padded mailer and shipping.

The 2 deals I was waiting for: one hasn't replied in a week, the other is apparently very busy this weekend, I kinda believe it?, but I'm getting weary. I'd like the deal but seems it might be something that 1) is too much money 2) just the way it went, I may have to talk a bit more when he's less busy and see cuz so far, I could take out the money and use it for something else Lol. It's summer afterall

(10 Pack) Sega Saturn/Sega CD Replacement Jewel Cases is $39.99 on Woot bit.ly/43XHQnd

A wet weekend here in Baltimore meant that most sales got rained out, but I had some good pick-ups nonetheless. First up is some games I grabbed from a local antique store/junk shop that gives me a buzz whenever they get games in. Picked up everything in the top picture for $35. The bottom picture comes from an indoor flea market that run every few months out of one of the local clubs - Layton and Folkore together were $20.

Got a deal for y'all

Was going to get it. Than he was out of town for a week and a half, than I sent paypal, but since I have a new account, there was a 21 day hold, so he refunded me. I was debating sending as a first time with cross border and on fb, but I was like, is it really that good. I sent about $60 of my bucks, but gave a few extra bucks, and it was to be $35 USD and was going to send $4 or so extra. He's got some feedback, but again, I'm not convinced I need this pack of games to risk it as a first timer. Everything as a first time feels off, lol. Maybe not always

The games that are worth money are strife and diablo. Those games alone can prob make you $120 - $130 CAD, if not more, or somewhere there if you want to sell fast. He's asking $15 USD for all the games, and there are some fillers I could have prob sold. But my money is tied up to another deal I'm waiting for, and gotta let the person know that there will more than likely be a 3 week hold lol

anyways, sharing one, gonna let it pass me by

Oops, he replied back saying I could send to another email, and he'd wait the 21 days. Says he'll forward shipping label and tracking today after 5pm. Spent a nickel under $60 CAD. Seems like a good deal. I think the price of Strife is overpriced for used if new is at said price, but lots of cool games. If I do get the hook up, which it should be, seems he was fast, forward and a straight shooter, so we'll see.

Good deal. I guess people still everywhere sometimes consider games junk and let them go for less. But as a buyer, you're always trying and sometimes it takes doing new things or spreading your wings further. But I won't trade my hands for wings if you gotta still come back to earth on this so called flying haha, no idea. Take care. Guess it might be my good deal

It took some effort, but I managed to get a boatload of LEGOs for myself and mostly my nieces for a cool $100.

I reached out to the seller who confirmed which sets she was selling and their prices. I know a LEGO bargain when I see one, so I knew I had to get over there and snatch 'em up. The sale was scheduled for Thursday at 9 AM, right when I'm at work. I couldn't reserve it or arrive early, so I had to get a favor from Mom to buy them in my stead. Fortunately, she happened to be free this morning and did that... though she texted me with a mean prank, claiming it had been a hoax sale and that she went home empty-handed. But yeah, here they are!

I'm keeping the Jurassic World one, since I'm a sucker for that movie and this big set contains all four main characters and the antagonistic Indominus Rex. It's a shame so many of the sets are missing a few pieces, but you get what you get with prices like these. I know my nieces' faces will light up when they see them! My bro's family isn't keen on Disney, so I'm not sure what we'll do with the Little Mermaid one... but I'll think of something!

Fixed.

Don't worry, it's cool if it's mostly for you. Lego is awesome. :D

Just kidding around. Nice of you to buy all that for your nieces. Cool uncle status for sure.

I was a big Lego fan as a kid. Still appreciate it. The way the sets are so intricately put together.

Lol. I too was a LEGO kid. I reassembled a few of my old favorites in college, but now 98% of my pieces are in bins in the attic. And yet the LEGOs slowly creep back into my living space! Whatever will I do.

I finally got one of the two holy grail minifigs I've wanted for years: Claire Dearing (sadly not the one with the lavender tanktop, but whatcanyado). Now I just have to luck my way into a Star Wars Pong Krell minifig!

That Star Wars Pong Krell minifigure is pretty cool. 4 arms, 2 double lightsabers. Is it difficult to get?

nonamesleft wrote:

He only came in one pricey set in 2012, and he’s incredibly unique for a minifigure. Combine that with him being attached to the Star Wars license, and from the best arc of the enormously popular Clone Wars animated series, and you’ve got the makings of an expensive figure. Far as I can tell, he is just that!

Holiday weekends are usually pretty bad for yard sales around here, but a friend tipped me off to one happening near by that had games. Got all this for $15, but unfortunately the Ghibli set is a higher-quality Taiwanese knock-off.

this was a deal I was supposed to get, but after sending some money in a previous deal, I took out the $400 something, figured $100 USD x 2 x exchange rate, about $260, $270, shipping?, either way, I passed, he was getting wed, and it seemed to make sense, but after the last deal, I just said, forget it, would have made 1k on this deal if legit and for real, and that's if spending $400 CAD, if local, hurry, takes paypal, some protection I guess, but I guess since I took out the money today, and he replied hey I can ship, without still getting a shipping quote, I am unsure if all these ads are a little finicky, but prob not, just I need the cash now, the games would sell, but the last deal put me off this one, so that's that...sometimes, it's not in the cards, you can do a lot for money against feeling, but maybe someone here will nab

Truckee, CA

Guess it's strange, but for real, I could use the money now, summer's now, and if this is another letdown, and I have to go to the resolution centre, my money is tied up for all summer...sometimes the risk outweighs just being...guess the $60 deal, I dunno, never sent tracking/confirmation, and disappeared again, the other was the same, maybe the other, with all the friends, it legit, but at this point, I don't even want to list more. Ha ha, got was too lazy. Either way, I dunno, seems legit, but again, would be a real bummer, and I should think positive, but both these deals lasted so long, and my mind goes, is he going to send empty dvd cases with the way he worded it, and show the tracking, and than you got a lot to prove haha...I dunno, but either way, not disappointed, maybe someone will do something better with the money than just smoke it haha
