Yup all Craigslist during Nursing school up all hours studying I'd check it ALOT and in Texas =] El Paso of all places but its been dry here lately for the most part..we have a couple of guys that own classic stores and they hop on everything! Few months ago a guy had boxed CT, FF2/3, Uncharted waters among others for 10 each! The store owner that got em now wants 175 for the CT lol!

:shock: Nice! I would collapse into a catatonic state from the sudden advent of sheer nirvana if I found Earthbound for five dollars.

For whatever reason, the video game fairy as I like to call it, the Half Priced Books closest to my house has been saturated with great finds recently. Also luckily for me the workers there seem to be unaware of what the games are worth since I got each for $4 a piece:
Without case/booklet:
- Super Mario 2 (NES)
- Super Mario 3 (NES)
- Metroid (NES)
- Super Contra (NES)
- Battletoads (NES)
- Simon's Quest (NES)
- Double Dragon (NES) (This one is really only worth $4, but still pretty awesome)
With case/booklet:
- Phantasy Star (Master System)
- Phantasy Star II (Genesis)
- Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (Genesis)
- Comix Zone (Genesis)
- Vectorman (Genesis)
- Castlevania: Bloodlines (Genesis)

I keep telling myself that the person who sold all these for what would probably be $1 a piece didn't care about them and wanted them gone for whatever reason instead of someone's mom clearing clearing out their room.

Wow, the HPB near me charges much higher amounts for their games. Didn't realize they did individual store pricing. Welcome to the forums!
