Congrats on 2000! :D

I did manage a whirlwind tour of the Dallas Metroplex this weekend, and found a few nice things, but also made mistakes and got screwed, too.  The gory details:

1. Street Combat, SNES, v. fine, loose, R4, $6.90, GE (dupe-whoops!)
2. Turn and Burn: No Fly Zone, v. fine, loose, R3, $3.00, Cash America Pawn (CAP)
3. 3 Count Bout, Neo Geo AES arrived in excellent condition
4. Alpha Mission II, Neo Geo AES arrived in excellent condition
5. Championship Soccer '94, Sega CD, n. mint, complete, R5, $1.00, GE
6. Carnage Heart, PS1, n. mint, no booklets, R5, $9.99, GE
7. Jupiter Strike (longbox), v. fine, complete, R5, $2.00, GE (trading dupe)
8. Unison, PS2, n. mint, complete, R2, $2.70, Gamestop (GS) (trading dupe)
9. Monster Game tandem PS2 controller extension cable(s)-Never seen before, $2.70, GS

gmsnpr

Some really fun stuff there, how much for the AES stuff?  I thought Unison was hard to get (maybe only for me). 

I mentioned the prices before they arrived, which might be a no-no.

3 Count Bout, Neo Geo AES, supposedly complete, R4, eBay $26 shipped (hasn't yet arrived)

Alpha Mission II, Neo Geo AES, supposedly complete, R2, eBay, $39.95 shipped (hasn't yet arrived)

Since I have never played the Pikmin series, I have to ask if you feel that its worth opening for me to play?  

I've only played Pikmin 1, which was a nice game. I'm told #2 is better; maybe someone (Inkwolf?) can enlighten us? It's bringing more than you paid for it on eBay, and you may be able to get an opened copy with the profit from the sale.

great prices, I'll have to reaqauint myself with Ebay. 

AS a collector sometimes your my have days where you get finds and deals you didn't think existed. Today is one of those days. This may be in my Top 5 best deals. Ahem...

From a guy on Craigslist,

Final Fantasy VII - PS - Black Label/Complete/Mint $5 -- Needed a copy of BL to replace my GH

Final Fantasy Tactics - PS -  Black Label/Complete/Mint $5 -Needed this badly, been looking for a good price on BL

Metal Gear Solid - PS - Black Label/Complete/Mint $5 -- Wasn't on my wishlist but for the price, what the heck right?

Gran Turismo - PS - Black Label/Complete/Mint $5 --not a huge pick up but I needed it. Now have 1-4.

He even delivered them and I didn't have to go out into the -15 F temps :)

Also from Best Buy, if you reserve the game you can get a free demo, so I did because I want this game something fierce...

Resistance Retribution - PSP - $5 down - Free download starts on 1/15

All in All $25 dollars on all of this I am a happy camper today :)

The $1 N64 games were from another guy at that same store, I thought about taking all his 64 games, but I only had $15 on me, so I just took my top 5, he had a few I knew I could trade or resell for quite a bit more than a dollar though. 

The free games were nothing important, but just the fact that they were free made me super happy :-D

It's useful to be in the right place at the right time.  With cash.  Good job, Falcon.  I had a similar experience tonight, oddly enough.  I went to a pawn shop and there was a guy trying to offload a few boxes of older games and systems and he was being told that they wouldn't take the Genesis and NES stuff, so I swooped in.  Here's what I got for $60:

Drop me a price via PM, any other genesis games you have dupes of you are willing to get rid of?

Alright heres how this worked:

Off Craigslist in the Free Stuff section:

• NBA Live 95 - SNES cart only
• Super Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back - SNES cart only

Then traded them in for credit towards:

• Super Adventure Island - SNES Cart only
• Double Dribble - NES Cart only 

Total cost was $5 but I had no use for the first two games.

This weeks haul:

Pikmin (GC) USED $9.99 (Non-GH Version) Complete (eBay) The lister had the title as "Pikman"

Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories (PS2) USED 12.99 Complete (Rogers Video)

Liberty or Death (SNES) USED 9.99 Cart Only (eBay) 

Sentient (PS) USED 0.99 Complete (EBGames) 

X-Men: Children of the Atom (SAT) USED 14.99 Complete (eBay) 

Prince of Persia (SNES) New/Used? 19.99 Complete (eBay)

Prince of Persia was an odd surprise, when I opened the package it was shipped in it was in a plastic wrap with a price sticker in the corner that said "E&G Toys 54.99" which was odd. The seller had both a new (for 149.99 or best offer) as well as the used and complete one listed in his eBay store. Before I opened it I emailed to make sure I was sent the right one, I got a very smug "Yes and there are no returns" email in return.

Opened the wrap, and the game looks brand new, right down to the polybags.

So not a bad score.  

Megaman X2 - $30 - SNES

Super Metroid - $17 - SNES

Metal Gear - $8 - NES

Couple of pick-ups today...

from Cex:

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles (GC) - complete, near mint, marked £8 but free after trading in a couple of DVDs

from HMV:

Full Throttle (Lucasarts CIassics version) (PC) - new, £3

from the local junk shop:

Final Fantasy XII Official Guide - new and sealed, £5

Completed my Xbox Burnout collection and got one more GBA game from my wish list:

• Burnout (Xbox) Used/Complete $8
• Donkey Kong Country 3 (GBA) Used/Cart only $15

Yesterday I made my first game purchase of the year:

The Orange Box (PC) - $29.99
Etrian Odyssey II (DS) - $19.99

After installing The Orange Box, my Steam profile says I own 95 games. But if I click the link to view my whole collection, it only shows 91 items. I wonder where the discrepancy is coming from...

They're already counted separately in the list. Basically, if you launch it separately, Steam counts it separate.

Super Bonk - $7

Sonic Blast Man II - $7

Contra III - $5

My recent developments:

Picked up Super Mario Galaxy new from Blockbuster @ $24.99

received the discs for Tempest X3 and Twisted Metal Small Brawl in the mail

got a free copy of the manual for the Atari 2600 game Outlaw.

Some decent finds over at a Gamestop about 30 minutes away... killer used section...

Klonoa 2 (PS2) - Used, Mint - $7.99

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty - Used Mint (Proper Cover) - $4.99

Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater - Used Mint (Proper Cover) - $9.99

Making the proper cover point to say tthe MGS games are original cover art, none of the later substance stuff. Strange thing was that store has a couple more copies of each of them in basically the same condition. Kind of surprising.

• Far Cry 2 (X360) New $30 ---- Bestbuy

Some smart purchases all.  Interesting reading.

Amazon:

Overlord, 360, New, $19.99

Dark Messiah of Might and Magic Elements, 360, New, $9.98

Todays pickups were a little bitter sweet, I felt kinda bad caue this lady wanted cash for her sons games, who died. Don't know much more than that, but to be honest I was on the edge as to whether this was moral or not, I figured I could look at it in both a positive and negative light so I felt it was sort of gray area. Anyways, here's what I got with $33 (Thats what she wanted?)

She was probably lying, don't feel bad. Her kid is fine, she probably stole the games from her kid to get more for drugs.

I don't think you'd find a bigger cynic than me.  I think that would be Zoop! not Zoom! yeah?  If so I did not think it was R5 worthy -- that's cool.
