Best and Worst One-Time deals

Good Deal:


i got these from a pwn shop in Columbia Missouri so you know.

I am in columbia from time to time, any places you would recomend checking out?

believe it or not the auction houses get quite a bit of stuff but nobody bids so you can get stuff dirt cheap. Id just look around. I just go around looking for shops when im there so i never really pay attention.

Best Deals:
Planescape: Torment - Goodwill - $3.99

SNES mini w/23 (quality) games - Craigslist - $100.00 - I sold all the games I didn't already have and made my money back while keeping Super Metroid, Mario All-Stars, Zombies ate my Neighbors, Castlevania IV, and Contra III. So technically, I got these games for free.

Bully (Wii) - $12.00 new - Target


Worst Deal:
Super Mario RPG - ebay - $50.00 - This is the first game I bought when I got back into retrogaming years ago and I grossly overpaid for it due to my own ignorance. I still occasionally slap myself on the forehead for that one.

I've had a lot of swap meet deals.


I'm waiting on a huge lot from ebay of dreamcast ps2 and psone games, paid about 100 for just over 100 games.
From what he listed and the picture you can only make out about 35 games. We'll see if it ends up a good deal.
As long as it's not demo cds and burned copies of games I wont mind a dollar a game.

[Ack]

I don't know...100 bucks for 100 copies of Madden doesn't sound so great either.

lol well I can always make a few 100 dollar disco balls.

Let's Party!

I know this is thread necromancy, but I just had to get this one out there.

I just picked up a mint/complete copy of Metal Gear Solid 3 Limited Edition for $10 at a pawn shop. Compare $10 to this. http://www.videogamepricecharts.com/gam ... ed-edition

I've got a few other good deals recently as well, such as a mint/complete copy of Jade Cocoon for $1 hidden in the music section at a Good Will, but none of them compare to that.

Not sure if this falls into the good or bad catagory, but I thought it was awesome. A guy at work was selling all his old videogames, and I got the following:

Odyssey 2 with 19 games, including Computer Intro - $50
Jaguar with Tempest 2k, Theme Park, and Cybersomething - $20

Unfortunately, the controllers for the Odyssey are going. Only one works consistently, and they never decided if they want the right or the left controller to be the primary. So I found my second awesome deal.

Original silver Odyssey 2 with 2 games (that I already have) - $0.99 plus $12 shipping. Yay ebay!

^^^^The Jaguar is a pretty damn good deal at that price, not to mention that Tempest is one of the better games for the system.

Soul Calibur for 50p (like 30cents or something) was a good deal

Worst deal though would be when I bought a playstation 1 for my brothers birthday, which was about a week before a massive price drop, I think I paid £180 and it was £130 by the end of the week or something. Bad times
