I hid the Mega Man X2 in between Home Alone and Addams Family (which I didn't really want but used it to hide Mega Man X2. I figure those are better than sport games) at a Yard Sale.
...why does this seem to make me feel...awkward? Like I want to say good find, but at the same time, this move seems super shady. I get the reason "why" you did it, but still. I'm just gonna say, that's kind of a dick move.
Thank You! I was think about that post too. I don't know what is worse, being dishonest or proudly posting your intentional dishonesty.

Everything is CIB with the exception of Pikmin, which has no manual. For the price, however, I wasn't complaining.
She also threw in the Link's Crossbow Training gun attachment as an added bonus.
WOW! That is a sweet deal, congrats! Gamecube Pikmin has an advantage over the Wii version of (yeah I'm saying it) unlimited time cheat with Action Replay. The only way I can collect everything in the locked day.
For everyone posting, please type out the list of goodies so it can be word searched at a later date for reference.
Not too damn bad at all! I've been wanting to join some sort of group like that around here, but all we have are "Mom's" groups. My wife sells something everyday pretty much (old clothes, baby stuff, etc.) and I ask her if video games ever pop up. She says never.

So we're really going to get on him about being shady when we all know how shady some sellers can be by flat-pricing everything then going around if they see you just getting that one game and decide they know it should go for more and triple the price? I don't think it's shady or a "dick move". Honestly it's smart, luckily I haven't had the chance to deal with sellers that might do this, but come on it's not a shady move at all. The seller if they had thought of it and decided to triple or quadruple the price would've been the real shady move...

without debating the concept of flea market morality (or the general futility of eye-for-an-eye), i still stand by my original sentiment that it's kinda silly, makes you look like you have something to hide, or like you're trying to purposely dupe the seller. it's the same idea to me as changing a price tag in a goodwill or something like that.
i don't care, we've talked about this way too fucking long, let's move on.

Yeah, to be honest most of the stuff is baby crap and woman's clothing. However, I have seen a few game postings. This was the only one that wasn't overpriced so far. They were asking $5 a game, mostly crap, but these gems were in there. When I got to her house she gave me an even better deal.
I hit up Craigslist just to take another quick look and I saw this listing for PC games $25.00 for everything. Called the guy up and he still had them. I got everything home and a good amount are missing the discs and I knew that but games like Kings Quest III are complete. Others, I'm not sure yet. After watching Dr. Retro's pick up videos I thought I'd take a chance on these. Btw, the Lethal Enforcer box is complete with the pink Justifier.
The games that I think may have collector value are:
King's Quest III - First Print King's Quest VI Rise of the Triad Conquests for Camelot
I found a store selling a grey JP saturn w/ 2 controllers for 30 bucks. Unknown what condition the console is in. Should I jump for that or just pay around 130$ for a new in box white JP saturn?
Even if the 30 dollar one works fine it's probably pretty dirty/dinged up. What would you guys do in my position? Pay for the cheap one or just get a nice one out of the gate?

pay for the cheap one, $30 for a JP saturn is a good deal, especially with two controllers. nothing that a little rubbing alcohol and some magic erasers can't fix, i'm sure. plus for $30, as long as it works, you're in the money.
