Had some decent garage sale/thrift store/pawn shop finds today :D
Image

$10 - Nintendo Gamecube - Needed some serious TLC when I found it. Its the only Nintendo System I'm missing out of their main hardware chronology so I figured what the hell :lol:

All for $24 total from one of the local Pawn Shops -

Zoop - Together retro action!
Battleclash - One of the recommendations you guys had for me earlier in this thread when I picked up my Super Scope. Glad to find it in the wild :D
Pacman - Beats playing it on the 2600 :lol:
Tetris - An essential I'm missing from my NES library.
Xena Warrior Princess - My GF wanted it *shifty eyes*
Conker Live and Reloaded - Bad Fur Day?! With upgraded visuals? Less than 5 bucks? Yes Please.

$2 Qubed (Rez HD, Lumines, Every Extend Extra) - Its Loose, but I like all the games in the collection, and I figure I can find a case for it later :P

$1 Toy Commander - Totally random find in the cd rack of some thrift store. I think the guy at the register was surprised to see me bring up a Dreamcast game.

Also shown are my non videogame finds. I snagged both Nena's 99 Luftballons and Journey's Escape for $5 total. Been finding tons of records lately, and with these two added into my collection, I think I finally have to upgrade from the milk crate I've been using.

Qubed is a great mix of some fun games. I paid $8 at gamestop new and it was worth every penny. Thats a good find for $2

I bought this for $75 from an old coworker today though:

Picked up Legend of Kage, Dragon Spirit both for NES and the official Goldeneye 007 Player Guide. I'm willing to trade them for something (Genesis game preferably) if anyone is interested. Just go to my sell thread to discuss it though or PM me.

Sin & Punishment Star Successor- $19.99 New / $17.99 Used
http://www.gamestop.com/wii/games/sin-p ... ssor/75107

This game was clearanced at one time. Now most local stores have it for $49.99. Gamestop still has it for $19.99 new and two bucks cheaper used. For a pristine copy and untouched Nintendo Points codes, I bought a shrunk wrapped new copy. :mrgreen:

I did a review of the game along with the N64 original import here:
