i'll get to that but they're still trying to work out the definition of the word "new."

It's been a while since I found a decent game at a thrift store but picked up a pristine copy of Tomba! 2 for $3 at Goodwill. It was mixed in with a bunch of crappy kids games. Someone donated about 30 games, all in absolute mint condition. They look brand new. I bought 12 or so but this was the only one worth mentioning.

$3, complete, from local thrift store. Not sure if it runs up the same price in the states, but tends to sell from $30-$40 here.

I grabbed complete copies of NHL 2002 for both the PS2 and the Xbox this morning for a grand total of:

$4

Most of you will not think that this is a good find, but I suspect that one of you will...

(Also, nice work with Conker Live & Reloaded. That game does have some value in the States, and it is one of the few "rare and valuable" games for the original Xbox...The Tombas 2 is not too bad either!)

:shock: Very Nice Find!

It is expensive in the states too, Thrift Stores and Swap Meets turn up nice surprises. Bought mine at the Swap Meet.

random stop at goodwill on the way home paid off, in the glass case buried under some purses, I spied the word "REAL" sticking out, and knew that I had just found a 3do in the wild!

I asked to see it, and it had the controller, and RF cable (ew) and the power is built in. Price was $20 bucks! It turns on and displays an animation on screen, going to burn a disc and make sure it works fully. I have already owned a 3do before with a decent selection of games, and was not really a fan. This will most likely hit the trade thread.

On the way out, it seemed that they put some more stuff in the case while I browsed the store, because there were some n64 games there that I didnt see before, nothing special. I did, however, find a boxed action figure from the anime/manga "InuYasha". It was the character "sesshomaru", my wife loves the show, and I have seen my fair share of episodes in the series. The price was only 2.99 so I grabbed it to, my Wife will be happy with it.

edit: Burned Street Fighter turbo and the console works fine.

I haven't had anything good (to show off in this thread) in a while untill now.

Hit up kmart and I found steel diver for 3ds for $4.97 Never really cared for this game, but hey, free Nintendo points!

The better find is this: at target, i picked up in the clearance aisle Sonic and all stars Racing transformed for vita for $7.56 and Kirby's Return to dreamland wii for $12.56

Both of these said 'as is online item' :) someone reurned them! Or they came in by accident!

I got them cheaper! Yay!

I've seen that Kirby game get crazy expensive recently.

I'm happy!
