How the hell?

[lost_within]

Well i found a pretty good find today, well, my gf did anyway.

We were meeting my mom at a local kmart to swap some stuff back and forth and figured we would go inside, well...me being me, i ran right for the games. Just a big kid...nothing more lol. Anyway, we turn the corner to see discount stuff....and then, holyhell!...

DonkeyKonga 2 with bongos? awesome.

box was in pretty good shape, other than the top, someone had taped it down and pulled tape off so a bit of damage. Bongos still in plastic, game still sealed, all paper work. I saw the orig price tage on it marked something like 6/25/07..so, more or less, this donkeykonda 2 had been sitting in back for going on 2 years now....of course, i picked it up. 25$. So here are 2 questions for you guys:

1: Have you ever seen something that was lost in a stock room and put back on the shelf a year + later?

2: Does anyone know a solid price on what the complete set new/sealed is worth? We tried to use ebay but of course one guys had BIN for 90$ then someone 30$ then bids for 20$ so....no real help. But thanks alot guys, and happy holidays to all if i dont post back before then!

It's around what you paid according to Amazon.

About what i figured, i think im more surprised by the fact that kmart had it and some how just had it lying around back. I feel like i should go in every walmart and go hey...got any n64s or saturns in back?

My local Gamestation was once trying to clear their stock cupboard. I ended up grabbing the original Donkey Konga and two sets of bongos for £15. It was a fun night.

awesome, anyone else have any stores of luck on some backstock items coming well...forward?

I got my first copy of Donkey Konga for £10 at game in the sale. It was brand new too.

About this time last year i picked up donkey kong jungle beat with the bongo's mint for 14 bucks, gamestop had stacks of them.

Best find(s) I had were a mint, sealed N64 Rumble Pak at Zellers (Canadian equivalent of Target) for $1.50 last year. I was bidding on one on eBay for $30 at the time! The guy said there was a bunch of N64 stuff in the back, but when I checked later there was nothing.

This past summer I was able to pick up a sealed Shenmue 2 (Xbox) for .01 cents and Timesplitters 2 for $1. Pretty good day, that was.

yeah we find stuff at target sometimes.. being that i work there. like, a few months ago we had some halo 3 edition xbox 360 controllers and marked them down to like 5 bucks. i also have about 10 of those mario galaxy launch coins sitting in the glove box of my car, from when we did inventory. i think we had a total of 80 of them that were left over.

Oh, I forgot about NiGHTS for the Wii.

I sold the game, regretted it, then saw it at a store for $9.99. I price matched it at Best Buy and got it for $7.99.
