Sid Meier's Civilization Chronicles (seems to get like $40 on ebay all used but complete) so that's a nice thing. Not selling it though.
Sweet! Classic PC games and vintage hardware are going for killer prices at Thrift Stores!
I picked up for five bucks apiece recently Myst Revelation, Resident Evil 4, Star Wars Old Republic, Bioshock Infinite, Diablo 3 and for only a dollar for an unknown game called Rune!
Creative Fatal1ty 1010 Gaming Mouse - $5.00 Swap Meet
A different type of Mouse with different weight loads new in box. Had to use a postal scale to identify each weight, neat comfortable mouse.
Here's the stuff I got today. Courtesy of Salvation Army. Paid $13 for everything. I found what I thought was a broken stereo. But once I got home and opened it. There was a CD stuck inside it! The tray would still open and I put a cd in it, but I would hear grinding noises, and nothing would play. I was going to use it as a bluetooth speaker. But not no more! Once the old cd was removed the Stereo worked great! Now for the rest.The video games were $2.00 each. They're pretty common titles. So expect them to be googlyed soon! Now there for a dollar each are some movies. Fight Club on Blu-ray and Dragon the Bruce Lee Story. That second one is pure cheese. I was debating on whether to buy it or not. But for a dollar its a nice piece of childhood nostalgia. I will be watching that movie soon!

I thought so too, was more blown away in a place like that since it wasn't sealed that not one disc was missing, none of the papers gone, even the card game was still sealed inside the sleeve too.
Shame it's a 2P game, really would like to try that card game out.
I did good today! Went and bought lots of stuffs! The first place I hit up was my weekly wednesday fleamarket, where I got for $5.00: Cabellas Hunts PS2, Socom PS2, Nascar Heat PS2 and an empty case for DDR (have the game already). At another stall full of random stuff where the guy was selling $5.00 a bag, I just pulled out 300 on bluray and Sonic 2. I offered the guy $2.00 and he said yes! For $4.00 I got Chasing Amy DVD, Taxi Driver DVD and Tony Hawks project 8. I have Amy already. So its for a friend. Then $10 got me Spiderman PS2, FF XII PS2, and Armored core Project Fantasma PS1 disc and manual only and as a bonus (the guy didn't check) Final Fantasy XII had a ps2 memory card iniside! The last place I hit up, I got for $5.00 Shrek PS3 and FFX-2 strategy guide. Once I left the flea market in Calexico, I was off to El Centro and I went to this one thrift store that’s hardly ever open. There I got a skylanders toy and a WORKING! PS3 controller for $2.00. Its a little dirty but it charged fine! After that I went to salvation Army, where I didn't get any games (like I usually do) but for $10 I got all those classic 90's toys: Street fighter GI Joes, Aliens, Ghost Rider and a classic Red power ranger! There was more toys I wanted but I had to give them up. The last place I went, was my goal of the day. Yesterday I saw online that the PS vita TV was on sale at gamestop. I placed a hold on one at the one in town. Went to pick it up and as I was browsing the place, they had Criminal Girls Invite and Mind Zero there. I wasn’t going to let those sweet anime-like games go. I Paid $104 for the lot. I'm already spending my tax return and I dont even have it yet!

Went to the Hillbilly flea market today since it's been ages since I've been there, but didn't have much luck. Hardly anyone was outside due to the weather being a little chilly and overcast and the inside was a crap fest. The inside area has about 25 larger stalls/stores in it and there used to be 1 large stall devoted to games, a small one with alot of videos/electronics mixed in, and a few guys with games mixed in with regular stuff. Well now there are three large stalls solely dedicated to games and they are charging in most cases three times the online rate . So I ended up only picking up this gameboy color create a cover kit for $2 at one of the few outdoor stalls since it seemed like an oddball item I would never see again.
Luckily the trip wasn't a total waste since one of the best game stops I've ever been in is up there and as usual they had a really nice stock of harder to find titles at killer prices. Pikced up a couple 3DS/DS games for sweet deals as well as some Wii stuff. Luminous Arc is missing the manual sadly but the rest of the boxed games are complete and at those prices were a great find.
My turn I finally have something worth posting, and more so, with a picture.
The games were $4 each -- Battle Unit Zeoth, Rampart, Batman Beyond, and Space Marauder (that one sells like $40 on ebay.) SF2CE was $1. $20 is what that Armor Battle cost me and it's like new (lightly/gently used.)
As far as the rest goes that's non gaming, those 2 new bike parts were $5 together. The Lego is a $25 set at retail and it cost me $5(it's new too.) And then the yellow bug is a Super Gobot in pristine shape for $6 called Bug Bite with the often missing clip on gun, and the white one is a gobot too for $1 and it's a cop car that goes to a 6in1 combiner called Puzzler.
Not pictured $1 spent on a plastic U clamshell large frame with a Disney Cinderella Lithograph for my kid and it's in her room now. And for my wife's bday (the 1st so it's early) a pallet seller had new Fit Bit Charge HR watches for $60 (msrp is $150) so it was a huge score day. We budget $100 for b'days and christmas for ourselves since we can't do stuff throughout the year otherwise as things are and she has wanted that watch a good while so that is why it was huge to find that.
Had a nice day at the fleamarket today. I actually went with my mom. She had things to do in town and gave her a ride. And afterwards we went looking for stuffs. I Picked up the usual, Games and dvds. Plus I saw someone I met up with a while ago who goes games hunting too. He was at a local games meet up from a few months back and he remembered me. I hope he got lucky and found nice things. Well here we go...Found some anime first. They were $1.00 each. I think I have that ray-earth already but in a box set, Oh well. I found a wii sleeve too and that was $0.25 cents. I was happy with some Blu-ray movies I found. Each were $4.00. But they're some newish titles. And one of them, Star Trek is a 3d bluray title! Definitely worth the four bucks. Next I found Demon Attack 2600 and Olympus Has Fallen DVD. each for a Dollar too. I found a little tiny transformer toy for $1.00 too. But my nicest find was those seven Genesis games and RF plug. For those I paid $12. The sonics I have already, but the rest I dont have in my collection! Pretty happy with those. Then, I found a bunch of dvds and games in a 'fill a bag deal' $5.00 a bag got me that stuff in the second picture, (empty case for buzz quiz though). There are about 10 more dvds I didn't put in the picture, those are to be traded later to hastings. But the ones in the second picture are the ones I'm thinking about keeping. The last finds I got were a Bare Dreamcast and Skylanders Strategy guide. Those were in a $2.00 fill a bag deal. My mom ended up putting some dishes and clothes in the bag too. Because all I really wanted was those two things. So Mom filled the bag up with random things. And I managed to get those two things. Not bad!

A nice assortment of stuff arrived for me today. A buttload of Supervision games (annoyingly sealed into plastic). A weird LCD gameboy clone/Famicom cart playing hybrid still in its box....and the legendary Game Child!
. So I ended up only picking up this gameboy color create a cover kit for $2 at one of the few outdoor stalls since it seemed like an oddball item I would never see again.
