Right? I'm thinkin' about picking up Xenogears for 25 tomorrow, hesitating tying up that money for it though. I could flip it for double though, so I'm most likely getting it anyway...

Not sure if you would consider this an awesome find or not, but I'm pretty happy with it:
Eternal Sonata for $14AU. I'm liking the game so far as well. :)
I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes.

Excuse me while I pick what's left of my jaw off of the floor.

And for $102 shipped. That is amazing.

That's awesome, except you can't really verify any of the story. That's why personal collectibles/autographs are worth much more to the original person than anyone else. Usually, an autograph actually lowers the value of many collectibles.

That being said, it's just a Nintendo DS, nothing special, so the autograph whether real or fake shouldn't hurt the value at all. And if it is real, it's a pretty cool piece of gaming memorabilia. I'd check into getting it authenticated somehow. That would make it worth so much more to other people who would be skeptical otherwise.

Awesome find for your collection, though. I'm jealous... $90 isn't a bad chance to take, and could be worth so much more down the road. You win my vote for game find of the month if not year.

Well, It includes multiple E3 2005 memorabilia including some Mario Kart Stylus and a wrist Strap. It is a rare color of the system, in box, near-mint. AND it has one of the most valuable (if not the most valuable) DS game in Electroplankton Japanese special bundle with the headphones. So, fake or not, its worth a good $102

While it holds up and continues to cooperate, free 360. :D

Also, about damn time I get Power Strike II. I hope I don't have problems with it;s shipment from Aussie land or I may finally snap and cause bodily harm to the idiot coworker that drives me batshit on a regular basis. :twisted:
