Re: Video Game "Finds of the Day"
Okay. So I am a pretty avid thrift store / pawn shop / yard sale shoppers and am always on the lookout for video games. 95% of my collection has been acquired via these means.
Yesterday I went to the local Hollywood Video to check out the 4.99 sale. Turns out this store wasn't participating (and had a particularly pathetic current generation selection for rental even). But they did have something else. Tucked away in the corner was a small selection of former GameCrazy stock, which had recently closed. All loose game discs and surely nothing worth paying real money for. All used games were however 80% off. 80 is a lot of percent so I sifted through all the sports for a few decent PS2 games. They all cost a dollar. Damn, I thought. That's awesome. But today, all day long, I couldn't help myself in thinking that I had better go back and look more carefully. PS2 games are never going to be less a dollar anywhere. The thrift store charges $3 for NES and Atari cartridges. What am I thinking not grabbing more!
Long story longer, I went back and bought a lot of games today. I spent roughtly 71 dollars on all this:
Wii:
Manhunt 2
GameCube:
Legends of Wrestling II
XBOX:
Otogi: Myth of Demons
ObScure
Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy
Castlevania: Curse of Darkness

Since I am a mathematical magician, 54 games (I think), 71 dollars... I deduce that's about $1.40 per game. And that's totally awesome.

Nice. I see plenty of games I'd give a try or could probably get at least $1.40 of enjoyment out of even if they were mediocre.FiftyDollarCurse wrote:*lots o stuff*

Re: Video Game "Finds of the Day"
I'm a hardcore thrift store/pawn shop/craigs list etc... kind of guy To a point I have paid next to nothing for my entire collection because i will buy a lot of nintendo/sega stuf etc... off craigs list cherry pick the good stuff and sell the rest. Because of this not only have a paid basically nothing for my entire collection but I make money on top of it. I will say one thing I have found some great things at thrift stores but generally they suck i think for the fact that there are to many people they use thrift stores as a job and go there 3 - 5 times a day (yes per day i talk to some of the employees) The best stuff i've got is from pawn shops and craigslist. If you live in a large city like i do pawn shops are the shit they have so much shit and they never price the old games accordingly. Also craigs list is where i've got a ton of stuff also i mean the bulk of my collection is from craigs list cherry picking.

I went into that game with no knowledge of it.Bodmin wrote: X-Men Orgins Wolverine for 10 bucks at the local video store, game if f'n BRUTAL
I have never seen Wolverine like that. I mean sure you figure with claws he kills people... but the ways he disposes of anyone dumb enough to get in his way. Brilliant. Loved it.
Great Game Crazy pull.
