Yeah well there is clouds reflecting on the windshield but the other is the clear coat peeling off. Happens a lot on early 2000 gm vehicles. This is a 2002 cavalier that gets 29 mpg and I drive it to work and to run around to yard sales and flea makets. Doesn't hurt getting sellers down a few bucks when the see that p.o.s.!!
Likewise in the mid 90s when companies were switching to paints that used less solvents, there were big issues with the paint falling off in big chunks on the roof and hood of cars leaving the grey primer underneath that would then let the water in and star rusting. I had a 95 Neon that the roof started peeling.

This is one of the first times I've bought a bunch of games and thought it really belonged in this thread.

I went into the library today, they were having another book sale. I've found games at the book sale tons of times. But it's usually really random donations. This time, I found an entire box of PC games. Sadly, they're all jewel case only, but at $1 a piece it's not too bad

List:
Aliens vs Predator
Blade Runner
Carmageddon High Octane
Diablo
Diablo 2
Fallout
Half-Life
Half-Life Opposing Force
Hexen
Homeworld
Mechwarrior 2
Quake 2
Rainbow Six
Red Alert
Resident Evil
Soldier of Fortune (Gold)
Star Wars: Jedi Knight - Dark Forces 2
Star Wars: Jedi Knight 2 - Jedi Outcast
Star Wars: Rebel Assault
Star Wars: X-Wing vs Tie Fighter

Not too shabby for $20.

I also grabbed a copy of God of War 3 on PS3 there for $5. I'll probably float it to a friend.

They had some other titles there I didn't snag like Red Baron 2 ... if someone thinks I should go back and grab it, speak up.

Well may not be a deal but:

Decided I would look around while I waited for my work clothes to finish washing since a few were doing a yardsale.......I wish I hadn't, but found that and got xenosaga for free basically. First house doing the sale had nothing while the other had these games plus kingdom hearts which I didn't need a dup of.

The tenkaichi version of budakai 3 on ps2 is worth a lot, compared to that version and considering it was ported to ps3 in HD.

Ehh I guess so....don't know about eBay but apparently I should've payed 58 for that since everything besides xenosaga is cib...all I know is once I finally get some wireless controllers I might not come out of my room for awhile....

Yeah the dragon ball games have gained quite a bit of value especially Tenkaichi.

Had a copy of Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 missing the manual and bonus disc plus the disc had spindle cracks on the disc I posted on ebay as BIN for $35 + Shipping since I couldn't figure out a good price for it. Was really just fishing for offers. It sold within 30 minutes and I got 5+ messages since eBay doesn't recognize the PS2 version and tries to label as the Wii version and it was confusing people :P.

I will say this DBZ games seem to have a high failure rate don't know if its poor printing or what. I have ran into 3+ discs that would not read even though their were no flaws on the disc :P.

Yeah I did have the wii version but must have sold it along with some elevator shooter to gamestop. That elevator game just kinda made me mad trying to play it. If I don't like the dbz(which I can't recall if I did or not). I may sell it. Case and manual seem in pretty good condition. But I can't test until I get home from work tommorrow since I'm not lugging systems around no matter how bad I want to play this stuff....

Isn't that Xenosaga II? and if so, I hope you got both game discs. Otherwise, at least you have disc-1 so you can try it out.
I haven't touched my copy yet.
...just another lost soul...
