great deals~

Post by D.D.D. »

I scored Samba de Amigo for $5 CIB mint, a NGPC new-in-box for $7, Metroid for the Disk System for $1, a 3D Saturn controller for $2, and a Pokemon mini game for $1 (I don't have the system but for the hell of it and a buck, why not?~) from the local recycle store. :D

Y'all were right about the NGPC's clicky stick. It's so damn nice~ The system is pretty nicely made too. Time to get some games for it now.

Those seem like good deals indeed.

Actually, the Samba de Amigo was the hole enchilada... The really long box with maracas, super-sized Wii sensor bar, mat, maracas, manual, and game all for $5~ I still can't believe it. :)

I go to a number of local game shops (even though they're a chain, they all have different prices oddly) and a national chain called Hard Off (yeah I know). They're great as you get anywhere from a month to 3 months for a warranty on used consoles and you can try your luck with their "junk" corner with stuff they don't test or clean before reselling. That stuff is really cheap and usually in good shape.
Ironically, the Metroid (disk system version) I got had the Metroid cover, a pachinko game disk lable, and a Zelda II lable on top. It could actually be Metroid but as I don't have the disk system, I won't know for a while but hey, it was a buck. :wink:
