My man. Negotiate down to the last buck! We yard sale kings know how to work it. :lol:
as much as it killed me, I have learned that the best rule of thumb is ALWAYS be willing to walk away. BTW, eBay affirmed that I could get a sealed copy for $32 shipped if I were so inclined.

$20 was a good deal! Still, I understand that it's better in the long run when you're at a flea market. Gotta build a reputation.

Dude I would get that game now before it vanishes like everything else by NIS. Is it quite good.

You don't have a Wii, do you? That version is cheaper but doesn't include all the extra stuff.

I've been thinking about getting this for a while, so now I have to ask: What extra stuff?

it's more that when I go to flea markets, yard sales, etc, I'm not looking for eBay prices, or even just a little less. I'm looking for great deals. I bring a bit of $, and want to find as much as I can for that budget. I would have been spending almost half of my loot on that one game and still had a lot more vendors to visit. And in all honesty, if you're patient you can easily nab it for $20-$25 on eBay anyway. Plus, the guy was really a jerk to me so that made me less inclined to put money is pocket.

The PS2 premium version has two discs. Both contain the same game, one is an English voice-over, the other Japanese. There's also a poster and an artbook. The actual instruction manual is bigger than standard size and looks pretty cool too.

Every February, my wife and I take a trip to Asheville, North Carolina for the Grove Park Inn Arts & Crafts Conference. During the trip, she spends an afternoon shopping for antiques, art pottery, etc., and I go video game hunting. I had a pretty good run this year; so, I thought that I would share a picture with the group:

Notable deals this year include:

Castlevania Legends (GB) - $7
Pokemon Blue (GB) - $7
Resident Evil 3 (GC) - $5
TMNT: Hyperstone Heist (GEN) - $8
Shadow Tower (PS1) - $5
King's Field: The Ancient City (PS2) - $5
SOS (SNES) - $5
Aliens vs. Predator: Extinction (XBOX) - $5

(Castlevania Legends (GB) is going on my trade list; so, if anyone is interested, please send me a PM.)

Also - and not pictured - I got a Sega Saturn system and a Secret of Evermore strategy guide for less than $3. Assuming the Saturn works, both of these items will also be going on my trade list.

...

The piece de resistance, however, is:

Finally, I have added this terrible, terrible game to my collection, and I could not be happier. (I played it last night, and it exceeded even my lowest expectations.)
