Not a find, but a deal. Went to gamestop and traded in the GBA games that haven't been moving from my B/S/T thread and they offered me $26.60 for the lot, so I picked up a WaveBird controller, Animal Crossing, and Super Smash Bros Melee and paid $8 and some odd change.

All this for the GameCube that I got in a trade for 2 3DO games which I paid $3 each for. Thus, I managed a complete GameCube, 3 games, a 3rd party controller, a WaveBird, and all the cables for about $15. That's quite a deal in my opinion.

hah, you still got it? maybe we can work a deal out here...

haha, no sorry. I brought it back and worked it out.

Went to the flea market today and picked up Contra 3, Magic Sword and FIFA International Soccer for the snes for $13 including the dollar I was charged for parking. Unfortunately I seemed to have picked up a free sunburn to go with them.
