Well I figured I'd test the waters since some sellers might be doing the same, man was that ever a wrong theory :lol:

Nice, aaron! Please post up pics when you do some resto...

Pawn America on lunch break today - they are normally ebay+ on their pricing, but occasionally they have a lazy staff member who does old-school pricing.

Not sure when it happened - but someone must've been told to re-price all the GCN stuff...and they did. All GCN games - $3. Now, i'm guessing it was a few days ago, because it was pretty picked over - but $3 for any CIB / non-sport GCN game is pretty solid, so I grabbed them all.

Had a little bit of luck on the ebay:

Got it all for 30 and from the looks of what I did put into price charting it wasn't a half bad deal. Especially since the deal or no deal completes the case I got from my sister(she threw out the games but still had the cases o_O )

Had a most awesome day in my local fleamarket called Las Palmas. So Good I had to go twice. LOL. Not really, Its just that I ran out of time in the morning and had to go to work. Anyways In the morning I found a bunch of anime stuffs. $6.00 got me some soundtracks. Jet Set Radio, Tenjho Tenge, Mana Khemia, DDR Sampler CD and two Lucky Star Music samplers. I then found Hitman 2 PS2 and Starwars Starfighter XBOX for $2.00 each.

For $3.00 I found a rare PS2 Controller, no rumble on it! When I picked it up, it seemed lighter than usual. It had no "dual shock 2" logo anywhere on it. I had found the harder to get non-rumble controller! SCORE!

Speaking of scoring! I found some more cool things and super cheap too! $4.00 got me some more anime, and manga! Not to mention that Viewtiful Joe bobblehead! My jaw dropped when the guy gave me the price of the stuff I picked off of his heaps! No complaints here :) . Lastly I hit up one more place before I realized I was going to be late for work. The guy always has good stuff every week and I had no time to really go through it. I saw a few N64 games and some genesis games but I had them already. Since I went early his prices were a little high (good prices anyways but I'm a cheap-ass) $15 got me Legacy of Kain Defiance XBOX, Armed and Dangerous XBOX, Crayon Shin chan 3 JPN gameboy and Crazy taxi GBA. As I was rushing to get to my car I spied the sellers piles of stuff, There were three or four sega genesis and lots of controllers amid the various electronics the guy had. I wanted to stay but I couldn't. Work was a-calling!

Image

I couldn't wait to clock out and head back to las Palmas after work. I was hoping that the last seller I went to before I left was still there. He was (he's usually one of the last to leave anyways). So at 2:45 when I got there I spied, in the last bits of stuff that he had there, Two segas left! By now the guy was selling his leftover stuffs at $5.00 a bag. I quickly jumped on it and picked up lots of goodies. I filled that bag to the brim with random junk but for the sake of the picture I just posted the gaming stuffs. Two sega genesis, One high definition and one model 2, Plus, the rest you see there! I couldn't fit it into the bag, but the guy sold me that nice camera tripod for $2.00!

Image

As I left the place with my overflowing bag, I found yet another seller with random junk! This time I got more stuff even cheaper! $1.00 the bagfull! I just couldn't say no! I have yet another guitar and a beat up but hopefully working ps2 Taiko Drum Master pad and the rest of the random stuff in that pic.

More for my hoard! :mrgreen:

I really love the animation in Gundam F91, it's a shame it wasn't a series like it was meant to be.

That opening fight in the space colony with the perspective being from the people on the ground and not the mechs themselves is really interesting. It has a sense of scale and trauma that isn't often in Gundam.

Great finds for $3 CIB, for sure. I'm a racing game fanatic, especially Nascar, and these two games right here are worth it for sure, some of the best Nascar games on Gamecube. Shame the newer ones are awful in comparison.

Too bad my closest Cash America is all the way up in charlotte and probably doesn't price the same way that would be awesome to pick up a ton of gcn games for that price :lol:

All the Cash America pawns in Charlotte are picked over. Some asshole went there and bought all of the good games, I guess...
