Bargain!

Post by goaferboy »

Found me quite a bargain today. I think my local Gamestation must have just bundled all their PS1 games in with a PS1 and wanted rid of them. They're stopping retro games now so its a good time to pick up some cheap junk!

Thats around $35.

Sorted into letters.

I think the lead to the TV might be knackered though. The image flickers during certain bits of games. Mainly when its doing 3d stuff. I'll try a component cable and if not, I'll have to get an original Playstation. I prefer them anyway and was going to get one.



Plus I managed to get this off ebay for 99p (about $1.75):

Probably not worth anything, but it's something obscure and I'll probably never find another one for sale.
God damn I hate the internet.

Yup, 200! There are some duplicates though. And a LOT of crap. I can hold my head high and say that I own both a Barbie and Mary Kate and Ashley game!

There are a few gems in there though. Gran Turismo, Speed Freaks, Ridge Racer Revolution and type 4, Fear Effect and Syphon Filter to name a few.

I hate France, there isn't a single deal like that to be had here, all I have is eBay and your up against people who know what things are worth, if you know what I mean. :x
