Does it really matter if I'm the one doing to finding on all the items I mention they are cool finds and ones I thought people would be interested in.

LOL. Just giving you crap. I do that all the time, I'll overpay on a bundle, to get one thing that I really want. I usually divide the cost of everything and that is how I come up with what I pay for stuff.

I know there was a debate earlier in this thread about what constituted a "find of the day" but I would have to assume that things your retro store bought and resold might not be the best fit here.

Had a really good first day of being back in my college town. Picked up.
Salvation Army:
Hydro Thunder N64 $2
Local resale shop: Jedi Knight Jedi Academy Game/Case Xbox $3
Kotor Xbox Game/Case $3
Outrun 2 Xbox CIB $3

Goodwill: Kid Dracula Gameboy, W/ official plastic case great condition$3

Local Audio Video resale shop:
A man came in asking if they bought Sega Saturns. The worker said yes but they didn't pay much. The man said that was OK and that he just needed to go outside to grab it from his truck. When I heard this I knew he was going to be ripped off and saw an opportunity for a WIN WIN situation. He had a Mint Sega Saturn 1 console, with 2 official controller, the cords, Skeleton Warriors CIB Mint, X-Men Children of Atom Mint CIB, Sega Ralley Mint CIB, and 3 sports games. It even came with a Memory Card Plus. He wanted $40 for the lot, we agreed on $30.

About an hour spent total, and all the stores were in my city. Great Day!

Same store, the next day:


Indiana Jones Greatest Adventures - $3.00
Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World - $3.00

Looks like maybe the 3 month long holiday drought is finally over...

Thanks! Also picked up these today at the local resale shop. Got a 10 dollar giftcard for liking them on facebook, so this was all free for a total spent of 9.50.



I saw Kotor 2 in the employee only back area and asked them if it was for sale. She said yes and that it just needed to be priced. So she left for a minute, and slapped the 3 dollar price tag on it, and now it's mine =).
