So you got this nice haul and then you trade it in for store credit. I am a little confused, did you even get a good amount back? If you traded all that in for 1 new game I am going to scream!! You could have tried to sell them here at bargain prices and come out a head.

He payed less than .50usd per purchase. What a steal of a deal.

Hey, you stay away from my thrift stores, I was here first! :P

Yeah, with the exception of a pristine old Wico Joystick I picked up a while back, I never even find any crappy sports games at thrift stores around Houston. My best ones have been Craigslist finds, not stores.

Excellent haul by the OP.

Ah sorry let me explain better, at this thrift which was having a crazy sale on media items I was able to pick up like 30 nes/snes/64 games, I kept 2 or 3 but then I traded in the rest and got like 50 bucks of store credit with which I bought the rest of my haul. There was a lot of wheeling and dealing but throughout the whole process I only spent 16.50.

Even taking the exchange rate of Canadian to US dollars, that's absolutely abysmal. I'm sorry, chief.

They either have no clue what they have and underprice it
Or they think they know what they have and overprice it
Is there a sticker that says "rare" on it?
