A few duplicates for my collection, but all pretty cool games! I don't know what compelled someone to number them like that, but since they were coming off with some spit on my thumb I'm not to worried about them cleaning up good.
:shock: :shock: Some great finds! Thrift stores always the best for the Hidden Gems. Especially getting MediEvil, one of my favorites for the PS1, really wish there was a PS2 remake. Had to settle for the Nightmare Christmas game.

Was they guy off craigslist? You have to expect that sort of thing on that site once in a while. A full 50% of the deals I've almost grabbed there haven't panned out because the guy decided to back out.

I bet that guy backed out because he found out that gamestop is selling it for over $60 right now. :|

Wow. A 5200 game for $1? That's pretty good. I've never seen them for under $5.

Dreamcast Ikaruga complete and in near perfect condition for $40.

Man it feels good to have this game on something other than a CDR.
Don't that just look oh so tasty?

Yeah it was off Craigslist. But thankfully the deal DID pan out. I got mad and called the dude a half hour ago and he agreed to meet me at a nearby McDonalds. He sold me Metroid Prime Trilogy for $20 and also CoD: Black Ops (360) for $10. :D

Both discs are a little scratched but easily worth what I paid for them.

Sometimes it pays to be a little pushy. :wink:

I know the feeling. That's why I settled for the Gamecube version for $20. Supposedly it doesn't look as crisp as the DC version. But hey, at least I can still play the game through component on the Wii *shrug*
