Went to Pawn America (west allis) earlier tonight. It was....small. Almost too tiny to possibly ever have a good selection. The difference between the other Pawn America stores and this one: they lock up all the cartridges in the display case, which is odd. I did manage to find a few games I wanted though! Asked me for my driver's license as well. First time (this store) compared to the others I've been to.

Got these for $43 site to store shipping, I'm trying to build a collection for my nephew (he's 15) and I have a neice who is 4 so I got her a copy of Kirby and Mystery Case Files.
Wait what? Some clarity on the 3 for twenty, is that just certain Wii games? Sin & Punishment alone is $19.96 at Walmart so you really made out!

Speaking of Wii Sin & Punishment, its on sale right now at Frys for only FIVE BUCKS! :shock:
There was a stack at my location, maybe an overstock issue? This is strange, the Sin game has had huge price drops and price jumps at both Frys and Best Buy.

I also seen stacks of Wii games being sold at a set price at $9.99 used at Frys. Some had over ten of each title in stock, all looking pristine sealed or a reseal, I suspect like Gamestop these games are new and only can be sold as used. Sometimes one can find a very pricey older new title at the standard $9.99 used price at Frys.

Check that copy of BMX Air Master. If you have the right version, it can be an incredibly valuable game:

Yeah when i was checking values on ebay and amazon i noticed that it was a semi rare title. Its the more common TNT release though not the super rare Atari release version. Still worth a decent chunk of change compared to most 2600 titles though :).

Its in pretty good shape other then the weird stains on the label it has been sitting in a box for probably a decade or 2 though :P.

Next week should be interesting though. If they remember to the owners of the stall I bought this from are going to bring in another whole box of atari games. Also gonna see if they have anything else buried under the tables there. There were 4-5 rubber made containers i could see, but they weren't interested in opening them up without the main seller being there :P.

It was funny the second they set out the 2 boxes of atari stuff the table got swarmed by like 3 people so i threw up an offer for the whole lot before the savages could tear into it lol :). Hopefully next week they will hold the second box for me or else it will probably get picked clean :P.

^ Good luck! I only recently began collecting 2600 carts, and I am really enjoying it so far. Please let us know what you pick up...(and let me know if you have any that you want to unload...).

Yeah with so many variations of certain carts it's pretty addictive. Went through cataloging mine on RF Generation yesterday. Had 2 cart variations they didn't have pages for yet :) and I submitted a ton of game and manual scans.

Now I just need to add the other 600+ titles I own onto the list :P.

Saw this at a thrift store. I thought it was interesting since it's a promo disc but it's prolly worthless. - $3

Edit - I found some info. on this. Apparently, it was a kids foot locker give away.
