Video Game "Look what I found"

[GamerMON]

Looking at the junk electronics at the DAV found a Gamewave DVD game system. Not a lot of games but for $6.98 it makes a great back up dvd player.

This is intriguing. Maybe there are some game discs buried in the pile of CDs at the store. Pics?

Grabbed Zelda Four Swords GCN, complete in "box". Came with the Gameboy Adv. adapter. $10.

Did I get a deal on this thing?

GoodWill and PawnAmerica can eat shit, and heres why.

Goodwill rules! Guess your local one does not. The ones around here always price carts at $2, pretty much across the board. Just today I picked up three N64 I did not have games: Paperboy 64, Hey you Pikachu!, and Starfox 64, at $2 each.

But the real find of the day is something very unexpected. I saw two beat up PS2 controllers, and while looking them over, noticed one of the was plugged into a small white box with a cord. Thinking it was some kind of PS2 peripheral, upon closer inspection realized it was a PS2 to Dreamcast controller adapter for $2. Fuck Yeah! Finally playing Nester DC with a decent D-pad feels great!

I've wanted one for a while, but not willing to spend much, because a DIY PS2/DC controller has been a project i've tinkered with a bit. The existence of the adapter has been pointed out to me, but I liked the idea of making my own, since i've got a bunch of DC and PS2 controllers collecting dust and the tools to do it. Now im thinking a PS2 pad in a NES controller shell would be the thing to do.

The CIB game/case/art/instructions is about $10. If you got the outer cardboard box w/gba link cable, that is around $18-25+ depending on minty freshness.

Didn't see any in the dvd section. Gonna buy a game or two online for it but it is defiantly a novelty dvd player.

Ok thanks but what exactly do you mean by that? So I cant buy 2 15 dollar games than get 2 other 15 dollar games free? Because at a game stop a few cities over from me has a huge amount of ps2 games and it just says B2G2 at the top of the ps2 rack.

Sure you can - and that's really how you maximize the B2G2.

I bought 8 at one store and the guy rung it up weird where random ones were free - and not the cheapest necessarily. I wasn't complaining but your mileage may vary.

i goto GoodWill today and look for some games, usually they have nothing but stupid sport games for dirt cheap, well i see a SNES game in there glass case and low and behold its Super Metroid, which is always a good score and they want fucking $24.99 for it! thats not a deal and certainly shouldnt be priced that high at GoodWill considering they got it for free.

Sure you don't like the price but there's this funny thing called a free market. That price is in line with the current value of the game. Sure it sucks if you aren't able to get a deal but the righteous indignation that people are getting against Goodwill because they're not getting something for less than 50% of market value is getting tiring.

the thing i dislike about goodwill is that they are, at their core, a for-profit business that receives the bulk of their merchandise for literally NOTHING. marking something someone gave you at current market value may be their right, but it seems a little absurd when the only money put into the product in the first place was paying someone to process it, put a label on it, and put it on a shelf. (and i guess overhead costs, etc, but yeah)

but i'm a total hypocrite because i go there all the time anyway. sometimes you get a good deal, other times you get frustrated. oh well.
