Fyi the lenticular label is the common version of Majoras Mask, 99% of them have it. Ive never seen one with a normal label but apparently they do exist

Eh, I'm just happy to have found the game in the wild. Could I have gotten cheaper? Probably - but it was there in my price range and I'm happy.

I think I did see a regular label at the local retro store before. To be quiet honest, I wish they had made a gray one (not a demo). Gray cartridges have become my weird focus for Zelda Games.

I stopped into a pawn shop this morning and left with a $0.99 CIB copy of Conker: Live & Reloaded (Xbox). Yay!

Man I wish the pawn shops around me were worth a damn. There's always at least one in the area (they go in and out of business frequently) but there's never anything more than a stack of your Gran Turismos and Maddens. Maybe a few vanilla action games thrown in for good measure.

I asked the guy at the one near me if they ever get old games in and he said "Not really because if someone brings them in they're usually missing the cords or something," so yeah this is what I'm dealing with.

The pawnshops on my route rarely have anything but tools and music gear. Occasionally there are Maddens.

There are 15+ shops within a short driving distance from my home. They are generally chock full of games, but the vast majority of them are over-priced, common, current-gen titles. Some of them do buy and loan on older games, however, and they usually price them very, very low. (Last gen titles are typically $1, and older, cart-based games are usually $1-$5.)

The only pawn shops around here, which isn't many, sell games at the higher end of ebay prices. It really defeats any reasoning for wasting the gas/time. It's nice to know that some areas still have decent pawn shops though.

got an unworn SNES Arcana promo t-shirt today, amongst about 1,000 other items, at another auction. gonna have to stop going to these.

I am duly impressed!

Got Naruot Clash of Ninja 2 GCB CIB (minus ccg card) for $4.63 after trading in my doubles of Soviet Strike and Gran Turismo (it is in one of those double discs cases and he thought it was missing a disc "no dude it is just a funky case like they did with Legend of Legia you know"). First time I have seen this employee, guess I caught him off guard on a random wednesday at 2pm while play testing the ps4. He had to call his boss figure out the register and he had to then decline my ps2 doubles after his boss said nay.

Took those 5 ps2 doubles (Eye toy play, NCCA footbal 06, 09, tiger woods 2001, and mlb 2006) and got an even swap for NBA street ps2 CIB and Killzone 2 ps3 missing manual at Cash Pawn America. Seeing how I paid $1.50 for those doubles, i think I did okay.

Sometimes at pawn shops they know junk is overpriced, I always look at tools when buying dvds or games. Sometimes employees throw those in for free or only charge like a quarter or a dollar for some tool I could use. And that is how you hoard people. It isn't that hard. Didnt your grandmother teach you how to magpie?
