I got:
PS2 Total Overdose £2
PS2 Star Ocean: Till The End of Time £10
Xbox Stubbs the Zombie £12
Xbox Buffy The Vampire Slayer £2

Not a bad haul today, considering all those games go for twice the price I bought them for on ebay (and more in Star Ocean's case).

I stopped by my local Goodwill, and went back to the electronics as I usually do. I started looking around and saw two wooden console looking things. I barely read em, just saw the word 'pong' on one and 'apf' on the other (I was exhausted so my brain didn't register it all). So I paid $2 a peice and got home and looked them up. Apparently, I got the Sears Tele-Games Pong Sports II console (with 2 controllers and what I assume is the cable to hook up to a TV/Game switch), and an APF TV-Fun console (with no hookups). Haven't had a chance to test them, or price check them, but I think they were pretty decent finds I suppose.

I picked up Chrono Trigger for the SNES, cart only, for $35 shipped last night from eBay. The label is torn at the bottom, but I just want to play the game.

Also, I'm leaving the house in a few hours to pick up a Sega Saturn for $20. I'll post pics of the Saturn when I get back.

*Back from buying the Saturn! Here's some pictures of what I picked up, along with some prices.

Here's the Saturn in all its $20 glory.

The console actually had Astal in it... Downside is, there is no case... :( but the guy threw it in for free! :D

I also picked up Virtua Cop 2 and the Stunner lightgun for $20 total. Another table had Virtua On: Cybertrooper for $25, but I talked him down to $10 for it. On the way out I grabbed Ducktales on the NES for $5 just for the hell of it.

Nice score on the Saturn (If it all works out well). Do you plan to get it chipped?

I'm considering it. Not sure yet... I would want to mod it with the chip and for imports as well if I did it.

Handful of game gear games with manuals for ~$33 shipped.

I think this was a decent deal, since it had shining force with the manual. Maybe someone can weigh in, but I think it wasnt too bad.

Best stuff first, Final Fantasy 3 with the manual and map and killer instinct with the box. $17 shipped. :) This has got me thinking of what I have bought this past month. 0_o SOOO much stuff. Well, Thursday I got MGS3 Snake Eater for $10 and Rygar the legendary adventure for $5. Rygar was surprising in how good the condition was, it even had the holographic insert. There is this gamestop on the other side of town that always has a much better selection than the one by me in the mall. Hell, they had a copy of devil summoner 2 and 2 copies of marvel VS. Capcom 2! For the PS2! (that's a lot of 2's!) I also got Persona 4 yesterday for $30 new at the gamestop by me. $10 less than amazon!
