I'm not sure about Coliseum, but XD should include a poster with it.

It does, it's the US youth soccer insert that unfolds into the poster.

I managed to win a clean, CIB copy of Xenoblade Chronicles X Nintendo Wii U for $50.72 altogether, with no competition. Saves me a cool $10 on the eShop, and my grandfather is paying for this anyway as a Christmas gift.

Discord deletes images after an unknown period of time, and has a file size limit that will likely interfere with high quality uploads.

I picked up a really clean-looking, complete copy of Shadow Hearts on PS2 recently for $85. I also recently traded on here for Shadow Hearts: Covenant. Now, I just need Shadow Hearts: From the New World and Koudelka.

Found a great deal, shared it, as it's just too far for right now, but I mean, Serious Sam The First Encounter NEW in box

for $50 Canadasmuckers lol

https://www.ebay.ca/...

here's a finished listings, take me to one where the box is a little off and beat up for much less, but thinking you can get at least $500 CAD for it if not more, and that's $420 at least profit minus getting it. Thought I'd share here in case there's a Detroit person or someone from WIndsor that's like What the, I'm in lol

I think the image size limit is like, 8 megs. Compress your fudging images or pay four bucks a month for Nitro. :p

And Imgur also deletes images after so many months of not being viewed, most free image hosting sites do so they don't run out of space. They're asking for a free solution, Discord's very good, especially for temporary image hosting needs, especially since it's just a couple clicks to get an image shareable from inside the app. Unless you had a better free solution ready? And if you have that unknown period of time, let me know, I've had images I had hosted for literally four years still viewable before I nuked the image dump. Which is also another nice feature; with a couple clicks, you can just kill all your previous images and start a new one if necessary. I'm presuming deleting the server deletes the images, I haven't necessarily tested it, so don't take that part as gospel. But once you get it set up image sharing across the web is super simple, I use it everywhere, cross server, cross site, you can use it on multiple platforms, I have zero complaints. If you use discord, there's no reason to not just host your own images.

Even if your Goodwill sends all their video games to corporate to be put online, things fall through the cracks:

Got it for $10. Game and equipment are all sealed.

Didn't get it all, but the person that gave me this, seemed like a real collector, you can see some games in the background of the pictures. But he was initially selling the lot of 21 games, without the tins, etc. For $100. He mentioned a possible trade, and that's where it started. From the first picture got escape from monkey island, diablo II and tribes 2. I also got a rainbow six collector's edition silver box, but it's in worse condition than I thought. Oh well, can't win it all.

He said:
The Shattered Steel I added because it's missing the top part of the inside box and has a little damage (tear) in one if the corners.
I also tosses in Everquest II since the back if the tin box was crushed in
1d
Also The Elder Scrolls anthology which goes for decent money on Ebay I tosses in because I have a copy and this one is only missing the Skyrim disc from the set

So that's what I got. What did I give up in trade you ask, only 3 games. Star Wars Shadows of The Empire new and sealed in box with some slight damage, command & conquer domination pack with box and sealed soundtrack, and zax the alien hunter in box. At what I would have made from them, about $190 - $200 no doubt. Will I make more, planning on keeping a few to my collection. Like I have a new indy game cuz I sold my old mac one, sold my old monkey island, got this one lol. I'm weird, but I can't collect for too long. He mentioned some of the games from the 21 games: don't have paperwork or manuals or something, but all games are there. Would you have done this, or am I the hoarder like trader, getting quantity over quality and now have way more work to do, and my mom should kill me for the space it'll take up lol

Which was the better deal, don't really trade much?

Forgot to mention he also tossed in Warcraft II expansion for mac in box. I guess in terms of that, I prob did get the better deal. The deal for $100 made me go, maybe I'd like it. So not paying anything is a good deal in my opinion, but will I make $200 or more AND keep some things like warcraft II mac, escape from monkey island, diablo II, tribes II, and rainbow six gold if I don't keep the big collector's. Maybe, maybe not. My work for a collection, watch my collection go in a few years, or this will also be a side gig that I'll love to buy, sell and even now trade lol

To be fair, I kinda treat games like scrolls. Some you know what they cast. Some are unknown, and until the time passes, that's when they'll be picking up value. I go by titles, and that's prob too many games to keep. I don't know if I want to keep the monkey island, as it was kinda cartoony, the game, when I played it. Fun, but def a dif game than the previous ones. But I guess I gotta make a bigger collection. My collection is small, mostly of various adventure anthologies, etc new and sealed that are worth prob what I got them at lol. 2 smaller shelves, and one below filled with nba new games from ea. Sold the hockey ones. Not much of a collection anymore. If I had a job and put a good collection, never sold the stuff I had, and had money to buy more. I'd be saying it's my retirement lol

I was one of those cracks when I worked at a brand new goodwill in my area for craps and giggles. We had to rummage thru junk and price whatever we found and then like straight out that scene in wily wonka where the Veruca Salt father’s factory workers were shelling candy bars, we had to stop what were doing and shout out anything valuable we found like “I got a tub of legos!” And run it to the manager’s office to be posted on shopgoodwill.com. I was fired pretty quickly cause I would smuggle things onto the floor at cool prices. It was worth it to see a kid’s face light up finding stuff like a $9.99 gameboy color and $2.99 games closeby

When they built this particular goodwill they installed an insane amount of cameras, think the batcave computer, and they hired someone who’s entire shift revolved around watching those cameras and reporting anything out of the ordinary. The employees were watched for shoplifting as much as the customers. I’ve seen less security cameras on military bases

Sounds like Goodwill is out for profit (no surprise there), and actively preying on the fact that people donate their (arguably valuable) stuff. They're supposed to be a non-profit, right?

Goodwill also exploits old labor laws to pay disabled workers under minimum wage. Vile, vile company.

All of my local Goodwills have majorly jacked prices up. I have seen $20 blurays.

Someone is researching prices online and pricing them based on ... something. Sold eBay auctions maybe?

Even dvds have crazy high prices.
