Mine had two old stickers on it, and it rang up just fine, so the price should be in the computer.
I just picked one up off of GameStop.com so they're in stock. I wanted this before and I had some extra PayPal funds so I grabbed it. Thank you for the heads up.

Fleamarket stuffs! Went around 9:30AM and by that time the weather was at 100! Damn hot. That’s the way our little piece of SoCal is. But while I braved the heat. I got those plastic things we all know and love! In the first stall, I got some Sega Pico games! Plus a Plants vs Zombies figure. I paid $4.00 for all of them. I really dug through the boxes hoping to find some more pico stuff, but alas that was it. At another place I picked up some movies and game, also for a dollar each. Red Dawn, The Hills have Eyes and an Xbox batman game. Okay. After that I got a red PSone controller for $5.00. The price was average. I’m sure I could find another one for cheaper. But it was a lovely red color and it looked quite clean. The lady that sold me this also had a Dreamcast for $15, and I was tempted to buy it. But I think I have too many DC already. Out at another stall I fished out a single copy of George of the Jungle PS2 for a dollar as well. And not far from that place, a kind old guy that always has different discs every week, and cheap too. I got Bridesmaids Blu-ray and Aqua Aqua PS2 for a dollar each again! Nice. And as my little, lucky streak continued, at another stall full of random stuffs, I found a PS1 with a memory card and Need for Speed 3 in it. I asked the guy “how much?” And he simply said $3.00. No complaints here. For that price I’ll definitely take it. And to end the fleamarket trip I found four Sandman Vertigo comics for $2.00! And not trip into town is complete without a trip to Gamestop. Where there I got Song of the Deep for $14.99 and Xblaze Lost Memories for $19.99.

I'm a boxed PC collector (big box mostly) so was happy to find these two today at a Goodwill where I NEVER find stuff. They were 3$ each, which seems to be a solid deal based on the prices I'm seeing online and I was a pretty big Warcraft fan back in the day, so I'll take it. Was funny because all their crappy Xbox 360 sports game etc were 13$ each. No idea how they come up with their prices. At another thrift found the sealed GTA, SSX, and Lego Indiana Jones for 2$ each, Forza was 2$ as well. Final picture is the other random games I've picked up over the last two weeks at random thrifts/goodwills, 3$ tops per game!
Goodwill is usually dead in my area, but always fun coming in and randomly finding a pile of intriguing games dropped off.
I don't normally post my everyday wheeling and dealing in this thread because I normally don't think it's all that impressive. OMG look at samson, he bought a ten dollar game for five dollars! Like anybody is impressed with my nonsense.
This time is different.
I walk into my local Goodwill outlet here in Richmond. For the uninitiated a Goodwill outlet is the bottom-of-the-barrel dregs of all the regional goodwill stores. Ninety-nine percent of what's in there is garbage. They dump it all into big bins and let customers sort through the bins like pigs in a trough. Then the clerk weighs everything up, and the customers pay for their purchases by weight.
I spot a case with a DS emblem on it. I shrug my shoulders. I consider passing it up. Ah, what the heck, I'll buy it. I toss it on the scale. Forty-eight cents. That's it. Less then a can of generic diet cola. After I get back in my car I check inside the case to see if anything good is inside. That'll do for forty-eight cents I suppose.
