A few duplicates for my collection, but all pretty cool games! I don't know what compelled someone to number them like that, but since they were coming off with some spit on my thumb I'm not to worried about them cleaning up good.

Re: Video Game "Finds of the Day"
Was they guy off craigslist? You have to expect that sort of thing on that site once in a while. A full 50% of the deals I've almost grabbed there haven't panned out because the guy decided to back out.Weekend_Warrior wrote:Welp, the dude selling Metroid Prime Trilogy for $20 flaked out and never called or texted me back tonight.

I bet that guy backed out because he found out that gamestop is selling it for over $60 right now.BoringSupreez wrote:Was they guy off craigslist?

Wow. A 5200 game for $1? That's pretty good. I've never seen them for under $5.Shabba wrote:Frogger II for the Atari 5200- .99 cents

Dreamcast Ikaruga complete and in near perfect condition for $40.
Man it feels good to have this game on something other than a CDR.

Re: Video Game "Finds of the Day"
Yeah it was off Craigslist. But thankfully the deal DID pan out. I got mad and called the dude a half hour ago and he agreed to meet me at a nearby McDonalds. He sold me Metroid Prime Trilogy for $20 and also CoD: Black Ops (360) for $10.BoringSupreez wrote:Was they guy off craigslist? You have to expect that sort of thing on that site once in a while.

Both discs are a little scratched but easily worth what I paid for them.
Sometimes it pays to be a little pushy.

Re: Video Game "Finds of the Day"
I know the feeling. That's why I settled for the Gamecube version for $20. Supposedly it doesn't look as crisp as the DC version. But hey, at least I can still play the game through component on the Wii *shrug*AwesomeMonstar wrote:Dreamcast Ikaruga complete and in near perfect condition for $40.
