Osmosis Jones was $2 - I never find snappers like this in good shape so I had to pick it up. The other DVDs were $1.50 total (from a lot of things I bought for reselling.) The Stephen King and Bullet Train sets are sealed. Left Behind was irresistible at 50 cents. For the record, I expect that movie to be extremely awful. Kevin Sorbo's acting sucks, his personality is worse, and I can't imagine his directing is any better.

Do you collect those old-style DVDs? I have a few that I've kept around purely because I like those snapback cases, but I need to downsize.

Haha, not exactly. I only pick up the early ones that have games, DVD-Rom content, or that were never reprinted. There's a couple of snappers with unique content too, like that rare version of The Devil's Advocate.
If you want, send me a list, maybe you have something I need.

Please throw Left Behind away lol ... and a PSA that there is nothing biblical about the Left Behind books/movies. They are fiction.

I always thought they were some weird pro-Christian propaganda fiction.

They're... weird.
The original books were interesting - the concept of people who were not good enough for the Rapture being, ahem, left behind to deal with the fallout was an interesting idea. But man oh man did the story go off the rails fast. I don't consider them propaganda... they're more like someone's LSD induced fanfiction with very loose ties to the bible.
And doesn't everyone here know by now that I collect bad movies? :)
By the way, I also own the PC games. :D

Not sure about this one. Found some commodore games, mostly discs only, some with manuals. Mentioned I'm interested in Ultima V and bard's tale. He also had some dungeon and dragon games. Than he replies he's happy to just ship them to me. I say, that's real nice, get to talking. He says there's 10 - 12 games, and some summer game disc compilation with over 100 games.
I say sure, let me know your etransfer email and I'll be glad to send the shipping and an extra $5 or so for a small treat. Gave the address, said he's in Moncton now, but coming to Ontario next week. I said if you're in Toronto and want a hair cut I got first choice haircutter giftcards lol.
He didn't reply, gave the address. Pretty sure he'll mail it out, but I feel bad for not giving him at least the shipping for it. We'll see

sorry for posting here, and sorry for everyone who looked expecting me to share another deal or what did this guy get again haha
but I had an idea for a pinball machine. One with a digital back. I guess the knobs would have to be in place. But I guess you could add the points and change the background in the digital outlay to keep it interesting. I guess this wouldn't be infinite in one pinball, unless the bolts somehow changes and moved in and out but no one is taking this to space...no idea lol
sorry again haha have a good day

Black Label Chrono Cross $10 and Wild Arms 2 $25 (ps1). Cases look really good. Should I pop assuming discs match case? 1 hour from this post to decide.

Good deal on both. If WA2 is really nice and you are buying to sell I'd be interested. I have it but could use a condition upgrade.

My music store owner friend said "Hey I got some stuff for you" and he dropped these off for me:

The Perro Callejero movies are pretty decently reviewed Mexican melodramas from the early 1980s. The movies are easy to find in multipacks, but single releases - especially by that publisher - are very uncommon.
The other movie is a really horrible looking religious CG feature. It's bad. So bad. XD

Purchase. Both seemed priced at greatest hits label. Not really one to sell for profit, and I don't have any interest in either. Seemed like a good deal. Passing for now. It's Half Priced Books.

Also went to the city to find roller blades for me to help teach the kids how to skate. I was pretty decent back in my youth. Cheapest option in stores was $150 for adult size. Most department stores don't carry them. Found a pair at goodwill in really good shape complete with tools (Allen's for changing wheels/bearings) and instructions in a factory baggy. $10. Score! (Unitil I split my knee cap or tail bone)

Forgive the potato quality.
I picked up a beat up Toshiba HD-A2 HD DVD player at one of my usual sources at the Wednesday flea market that sets up near my house. I bought it thinking that I might be able to extract the drive to use it elsewhere, and... the damn thing works perfectly fine. It actually looks and functions a bit -better- than my other HD DVD player.
I paid about 5 bucks for this. I'd call that a win.

I've been a little busy this past month with Tears of the Kingdom, so here's a dump of the last few weekends of pickups! It's been a little slower than the spring, but there's still been some good finds.

Loving these bad movie pick ups - I'm going to have to check out Gran Milagro for the cult movie night I host. We're showing this animated trash fire for our December show:
