Hardly ever see anything in peoples hard rubbish, its the greatest place to find it, but pretty rare. Go dumpster diving behind your local EB.final fight cd wrote:besides flea markets and goodwills, is this the next great place to find video games?emwearz wrote: $FREE Found in someones trash

I traded two GBA games that I bought for a dollar each just because they were brand new and factory sealed for Shin Megami Tensei 2 for SFC CIB and five dollars.

Re: Video Game "Finds of the Day"
yay. i grabbed both legend of zelda oracle games in boxes w/ manuals (and even the other inserts that came w/ em)... no case for the carts (they had those right?)... both pretty fricken minty. got those w/ a copy of incoming for dreamcast, i have no idea if it's a good game but its condition is also very complete and minty. The oracle games were sellin for 20 each and incoming for 3, but together with a fancy "buy 3 used games get 20% off" deal, the grand total was an acceptable 36 bucks. considering the condition of these games (mainly the LoZ games) and the going rates at amazon.com, i win. i found'em at the FYE game store i posted about some time ago, in their retro section. yay
Re: Video Game "Finds of the Day"
woah woah woah, FYE has a retro section?? I have one in my local mall and havent been in it in years because it was just another music store with over priced modern games. Im gonna have to check it out.

Re: Video Game "Finds of the Day"
Nice find. I found both Oracle games and Link's Awakening DX, all complete, at a garage sale for $20 total over the summer, though they're not very minty.optmusprimenumber wrote:yay. i grabbed both legend of zelda oracle games in boxes w/ manuals (and even the other inserts that came w/ em)... no case for the carts (they had those right?)... both pretty fricken minty. got those w/ a copy of incoming for dreamcast, i have no idea if it's a good game but its condition is also very complete and minty.
