So I found these two ads posted in my local online classified ads. Tell me if you think they are legit or if I am going to drive out there and get robbed at gunpoint....
There are two ads and they read as follows:

That's not out of the realm of possibility. So depends on distance and the safety level of the neighborhood. Take a friend just to be sure and if when you're arriving it doesn't look kosher, just keep going. Or better have them meet you in a parking lot outside a fast food place or other clearly visible free standing building with lots of people around so you can trade from trunks.

Weekend_Warrior, i hate your updates because i have no idea where you got them. i know that most places are region specific and like, i couldn't go to the same yard sales as other people, but it'd be nice to have a point of reference where you found factory sealed, black label final fantasy games.

anyway, i just got vagrant story from a friend for $40. not the best price in the world ever, and i probably overpaid, but i viewed it as more of a "friend-helping-a-friend" situation. plus i just wanted the game. so word up.

Haha. Well, obviously I'm a little hesitant to say where I find all my games. But I usually get most of them at various pawn shops- like the two factory sealed Final Fantasy games that I found yesterday. They also had sealed copies of Diablo, Future Cop L.A.P.D. and.. something else, I don't remember. :)

I plan to sell the Final Fantasy games because I'm not into RPG's. But I was actually the most happy about finding a new copy of Silent Hill. Most used copies tend to start at around $20 in my area, so to find a factory sealed copy for half that was ace. Also, they originally had it marked for $14.99 but the guy behind the counter said he'd "knock off a couple bucks" and eventually wrote $10.99 on it. Then I was all.. ----> :mrgreen:

I got the Final Fantasy Anthology guide today for 5 bucks! Its really beat up, but none of the pages are missing, but the guide goes for about 20-30 bucks usually on eBay, so I guess I lucked out. I tried to get the guide back in 2006 when I got all the other guides (except IX because apparently the guide sucked) for when I got all the PSone Final Fantasy games : )
