My friend Ralph helped make Anachronox. If you go into the supermarket and see boxes of Ralphie-O's in the game, thats him.

Awesome-o. It was one of the games back in the day I told myself to play, and only got a cd and manual in my collection. Think I didn't play it, and it was on my to play list. The strategy guide seems to be worth a bit on it's own, so I'm unsure if I'll bundle or separate. It's got a dent on the front cover page so not mint, but still a useable piece and good for what it was initially meant for. Big fan of elder scrolls but no idea what redguard is about. Tho it sold for $400 used once, now new games are being sold for that, and it's usually at least about half price between new and used.

Balor of the Evil Eye had a cool title, but graphics seemed older and reading about it, not too interested. listed the games out, not as cheap as I would have thought. So not keeping any from those big boxes. Turns out he had Jagged Alliance 2 for pc for $20 too. That's the only game I didn't look up. That was one like balor about that price give or take, won't go pick that up but could've when picking them up. Oh well, to more deals.
There's a few deals but had one idling trying to get delivery and it got picked up, not one I mentioned that I'll get beforehand. Still looking for quantity and quality but that's usually a rarity lol
Was going to list out redguard for $200 and thought that might be high, til I saw a rip at the one at that price, no rip but no map and pamphlets in another and 12 watchers for $270. Went, sometimes it's easier to get some chunk of change from the bigger things, than it is to sell the lower things out and try to not do deals on those lol, time's a coming when I gotta go through my listings and do some legworks or just leave them up forever lol

Today, saw Indiana Jones and The Emperor's Tomb, Tron 2.0, both in small boxes for mac, new and sealed, battlefield 2142 but I think this was pc new and sealed. Asked for shipping, no go, mother was like we can go, but I want to spend the whole day in Niagara Falls. I was like...was asking $15 a piece. Some other ones were there, but less worthy.
So I guess I didn't get that deal.
But just got a deal for $30. $30 for shipping. But it's a lot, and some quality in there too. Not sure, he said some things, I asked, but bought. As usual with lots this big, not everything may be there. But the biggest thing I saw was a need for speed underground 2 in box. Worst case, I got a jewel case with 1 of the 2 cds. I'll sell it partially incomplete lol. Had some stickers on the front, those usually suck lol. Some other jewel case only games, lots of boxes, but nothing standout ish, even games that are more arcade or at home real casual gaming in boxes, but I think I did good. When he ships tomorrow, I took pictures of the ad, so I'll show you what I went by. Not showing pictures til it's enroute lol.

I nabbed Batman: Arkham Origins: Blackgate
for a little under $13. The seller took some convincing and the cart could use some cleaning, but I hope it's good. Xbox 360 and Wii U (for now anyway) both have a deluxe version, but having the handheld version will allow me to play it on work breaks.

That's what I got for $30 + $30 shipped. Enroute. I think he mentioned that some cds may have names written on them, some cd cases may be blank, some cd cases may have more cd's, some boxes may be empty. Took a chance, we'll see

Isn't Blackgate also an entirely different game, from its console counterparts?

I think you’re right Frank. I think I beat the 3ds version years ago. It’s a side scroller on rails (kind of) if I remember correctly.

Yep. It's a platform adventure, not quite a Metroidvania. It's... not very good compared to the main series. The PC port is kinda so so.

I gotta stop buying left, right and center lol. Just bought a ps3 with games. Paid $100 and think I want to keep both original controllers, charging cable, modnation racers and mortal kombat. If I make $100 on the rest of it, I'll still consider it a win. One presto fare again, but I got too much debt to be making mediocre deal and freezing assets haha. The ps3 is outfitted for gaming, can party it up, and got some games for it.

it's the cech K01 edition, not backwards compatible. Think with cables and non original controller, should fetch $60 for it, than the games, and some spoils go to me lol

I found one of those AliExpress megapiracy consoles at the Amazon returns store in town for $2. No cables or controllers, but it turned on with a spare power supply and I got a video output too. Now I need a spare pad for it.

I got lucky at my local thrift store today. Got a Nintendo 64 with hookups, 4 controllers, expansion pack, memory card, and a rumble pack for $10.
I've been wanting a 64 for a while now, so I'm pretty excited. I had a cart to test it and it works, so let me know if you have any games to sell.
Also got a PS2 lot for $10 as well, system doesn't power on, but it was still worth it because it had 2 memory cards, a PS1 and 2 controller, all official.
I have like 5 PS2 memory cards now, so I can trade a couple if anyone needs one.

Not powering on at all is fairly unusual. Wonder what it's like inside the system.
Awesome finds.

I just made my friend's night by winning an auction he had dropped out of. Got Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic Riders for $33 altogether.
[imgt w=375 h=500]https://i.ebayimg.co...[/imgt]
We were playing D&D virtually, and he had told us that he was going to pause the game later in the session to bid on this lot. I subtly probed to learn his max limit ($20.50), which the auction surpassed in the last few minutes. His birthday's coming up, and we always have a gift exchange--I had no idea what to get him before he mentioned this auction, so I figured I'd be a total chad and secretly add my own cash to the pot. I placed a sniper bid of $30.50 and won. I listened as he observed the final tally before spilling the beans that I won it.
Shadow (loose) and Sonic Riders (loose) are worth about $35 and $20 respectively, so this was a good deal. It was also a nice friend thing to do.

Got the games from the pictures I showed you before. A few of the jewel case games are sealed, but not many, and prob very common, but the winners in the box (was pretty big and heavy to carry) was obviously the need for speed underground 2 which is complete with manual and jewel, a new and sealed indy car series game, a new and sealed garfield game, a new and sealed world airliners game - all in small box. Did notice a name on a few cds, but they weren't in the ones of concern. Only disappointment and not really cuz my ps3 can play ps1, so I got an old school c&c game. The Red Alert 2 game came with the soviet disc, than 2 discs for retaliation for ps1 in it. Not too bad. Guess this one alleviates all the ok deals I recently made and froze up some money in lol

Bought Fortnite: Deep Freeze for PS4 from Target for $15 today. Brand new and sealed. Am I missing something? Why would a $60 game be in the clearance section?

It's Fortnite? You bought outfit DLC codes for a free game, unless it has something special, the normal price for that bundle on PC is like... 12 bucks.

Free (bought with store credit).
The store was asking $150 ($149.99), but I managed to talk them down to $117 for the store credit.

A week or 2 back I was going through trying to figure out which eShop games I wanted to purchase before the closure. Picross 3D Round 2 came to mind, but $30 is... ouch.

I ended up ordering that for about $10, forgetting about it, and it arrived in the mail today. I have a modded 2DS so I can play it, although I may mod the N3DS down the road so I can experience this in true 3D
