You are like the Kingdomheights 2.0 of deal finding.
Haha but if you live in la and got the time you will find anything and everything there are just so many pawn shops/thrift stores/ flea markets etc... I mean they are never ending. Some pawn shops look there shit up on the internet and price it that way. But most don't and there is a pawn shop every other block down here.

Goodwills and such in my area do a funny thing. If they look the game up and the value is $50 they will sell it for $45 or so..but if they see it is worth $1-2 they will still mark it for $6.99. That seems to be the minimum they will accept for any game no matter the condition.

I went to a bunch of garage sales and ended up with a bunch of Genesis stuff, plus some PSX games. $14 for all of this...

Hmm, I dunno. It looks like a pretty good deal until you see Shaq-fu and Race Drivin in there. Those two alone kinda push it into 'I got screwed' territory.

*edit

And I just noticed a Barbie game in there too. *shakes head*
