Two eBay wins for me to share.

CIB 32x games in excellent shape:

GOLF Magazine presents 36 Great Holes starring Fred Couples = $1.25
Motocross Championship = $0.91

The shipping will be grouped in with some other Genesis wins so not much exposure there.

Didn't find anything until i looked in the back at the employee only area and saw an nes and an snes system sticking out of a box. I asked an employee about it and he said they were waiting for an snes power adapter, so they had the stuff back there for a while waiting for one. He allowed me to look through the box. I asked how much, he said 60. I kept finding good games until i reached the bottom and saw Chrono Trigger. I ended up negotiating to 45.

Actually, the Gamecube bundle I bought was for $115, and the only reason I agreed to such a high price was b/c it came with component cables! So I figure those alone are worth a good $80. Also got Ikaruga, Zelda Wind Waker, Zelda Ocarina/Master Quest, and a stack of other cheapy games I'm selling to a local reseller I take stuff to (I get half his asking price on stuff, so it works out since he'll take almost anything).
I have a ton of games listed at my store's site: Super Smash Video Games

A little on the high side but considering the entire bundle, not bad. The uncommon Component cable goes from $100.00 online all the way down to $5.00 at Gamestop. Although the Gamestop find will be very hard to come by, I found one there buried behind used controllers on a peg hook.

Why not put the other Gamecube games for sale here?

Me too! Wolfenstein had paint on it and it came right off. Moments like that are exciting.

Prices on them seem to be creeping upwards ever since GS stopped carrying them; before, I could find it for $10, but now the cheapest on Amazon is 16. Still nothing major, but I could see prices being double what they were before after a couple years.

Wow, everyone's buying Viewtiful Joe! I hope those of you who haven't played it do so soon.

I got Wipeout Pure for $3 at Gamestop today. Not bad at all.
