This is why you have rotten luck, to regularly pick up amazing deals you need to visit multiple stores multiple times a week, so when stuff comes in, your first on the scene.
Well, I guess I didn't have the time to be that dedicated to it back then. Once I had enough of it I never tried again.

Of course, when I say I had rotten luck I mean I never found any games at all, much less good deals on them.

I might try again one day, but its easier to hit one of the many retro stores around.

Well thats the trade off.

Much like eBay retro stores tend to sell games for what they are worth, you can go and get what you want, but you pay premium dollar.

Hunting in the wild you never know what you will turn up, or how much it will cost you, I have found so many great games for $1 its not funny (System Shock 2 comes to mind).

$40, plus $15 I spent on the donor cart. Not a bad deal as far as I'm aware.

I guess I didn't find it exactly, I had it made, but I thought it was pretty awesome and worth posting here.
