#101 Porksta
A 2nd & Charles opened up near me a few years ago. I popped in but being a retail store didn't really seem like anything worth my time. I had nothing else to do a few weeks ago so I decided to check it out. The items are actually pretty fairly priced and I picked a few undervalued anime sets. I had a 10% off coupon, so I decided to go back today:

Two anime sets are new and sealed, about $20 for the pair before discount. Red Dead is for my collection and it was $36 before discount. No codes but everything else is there.
I guess someone traded in a binder of disc only games but instead of pricing, the store just inventoried them as a loose game and slapped a $5 price tag on them. Everything in this photo (plus a Catan magnet I got as a Xmas gift for my parents) was $84 after 10% discount.

gosh darn, those stickers are cringe. Better hope none of the disc labels were loose or bubbling or had a cracked ring, or else you're gonna take data off when you peel the stickers up. Why the fudge would they do that

Those stickers come off real easy. Now if they used those security stickers they used on the back of games and dvds with the metal in the sticker then that would be trouble. 2nd & Charles was awesome when they first came here. The first year or so was a 4 day a weeker. Now though its once a quarter. Still get a little something here and there though. Good finds though Porksta.

Yeah the stickers really aren't bad at all. Wish more places used stickers like that. I did ask if I could take the sticker off Red Dead before I bought it and had no issues.

Those metal stickers are a dog and a half. The "void" stickers come off easy, but other stickers with metal inside are a nightmare.
I purchased a bunch of games from a Library sale last year and was probably only able to successfully remove one of the metal library stickers without causing major cover art damage. I decided to just leave them on for the remainder.
I will advocate Unduh for sticker removal though. I was able to get some nasty old rental stickers off of a few N64 boxes and cartridges without damaging the label or cardboard.

Nah they were clearanced out in stores. I got persona 5 strikers gamestop "new" for 5 bucksThat must be a "deal" that varies from GameStop location to another, because my local store still had it for around the price I paid, but not on clearance anymore (another store in my area, not the same one). It's one of those YMMV deals.

I'm really happy to have found this at a resale shop yesterday for $9!
I remember being really interested in this about 4 years ago but never bought it due to the high price and numerous $20 expansion sets.
The cards are all still sealed, and the device still has plastic on it. I don't think this was ever used. I'm really looking forward to playing with it!

Nice find! It's pretty fun for an hour or two.

I'm a big fan of EDM/remixes. I was probably a DJ in another life. I don't plan to use this thing daily or anything, but I know I'll get quite a bit of mileage. Especially since you can save your own mixes :D

I won Conker's Pocket Tales for $11.45, about $9 cheaper than its value. Nothing fantastic, but a nice way to cap off the year. I played CBFD in January, after all.

Yeah I'm very happy with it. I already have a SNES but I've been playing it a lot lately so I figured a back-up isn't the worst idea.
Deals were
Buy a console get $25 store credit which is available for immediate use (so then the SNES became $75)
Any games you buy for a system you buy are 25% off which then stacks with buy one get one free they were offering on all used games under $49.99 and under.
I figure it's a solid deal by like $40-50 and a "free" SNES.

I've got a PAC-MAN itch, so I nabbed a GBC/GBA lot for $9.54. I went back and forth on whether or not to buy it at all, but the seller ultimately compromised and took my offer. I've already got the BIONICLE game, but I might try the SpongeBob game since TheLonelyGoomba on YouTube seemed to like it.
