I've been hitting up eBay a lot recently with the intent of getting some PS1 RPG deals. So far I have gotten:

Dungeons and Dragons Collection (Saturn) $60
Star Wars KOTOR & Battlefront (Xbox) $15

Still working on those RPGs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So yeah got bored today went around to a few favorite spots, came across some really nice stuff, but as this is games only I'll stick to that.

It cost me a whopping 99 cents (1.05 tax) and I came away with a European only release for Game Gear -- Sega Game Pack 4-in-1. It has Rally, Flash Columns, Soccer(goalie attack/defense), and a mini Tennis title all rolled into one. It's basic, but in its basicness it's pretty damn fun. It came with the little plastic case too.

I found far better but that's more than meets the eye. ;)

Picked up some cool/unique stuff today (to me anyway!) at the usual stops. I think a lot of the professional thrifters (hate that that's a thing lol) were home for the holiday today so allowed me to grab more than I would normally find. 35% sale for Columbus Day was icing on the cake.

Considering PSO2 never came out in the US, I am baffled how that mousepad ended up at your thrift shop. Wow.

Not bad with the Gamestop goodies there. I recently discovered just one of them in my county aren't mindless dicks about DS stuff and if someone brings in the complete package they keep it with the game for sale. Now I find myself going in there to see what pops up. A month and a half ago I pulled a pristine Phantasy Star 0 out of there for $20, and currently they've got stuff like Chrono Trigger, Mario 64 DS, The World Ends With You, and some other notable games (of which anything of interest to me I have already like those first 2.) I have to respect that chain on a store by store basis when they don't follow the mindless throw it all out model so I'll go in for that.

Did some googling on it and there is not much, all I could find was that some were given away as a promo at PAX in Seattle, 2012. Couldn't find any ever being sold online or anything, so yeah, pretty random find on the other side of the country.

Normally I would say that something you get off ebay is not fair game for a look what I found, but this is a bit odd.

I went ahead a week ago and popped a bit on a Neo Geo MVS cart. The listing was only the game (didn't even show it, just screen of it booted) and noted it came with the mini marquee. I ended up snagging it for $78 shipped which in itself or Eightman / 8Man is a little bit low.

But what got me was what arrived, this dude left so much money on the table. The game is immaculate, the game has not only the mini marquee but everything in the image, and if you can't tell -- matching serial numbers too. I can't find a paid listing on ebay but my guess probably is a few hundred bucks. It makes me wish I bidded harder on another title he had I stopped on.

Not the "S", but this 1TB Xbone was at a clearance sale half price. I'll keep it or flog it. Still deciding.
It has a bunch of games pre-installed on the HD, incl Gears of War Ultimate Edition, and Rare Replay.
