Thanks for posting pics. Mario Kart DS brings me back. Fun times that one. Had a great multiplayer. I like that Riven box.
Yeah, I still have a ds I traded for with a flat screen due to the hinges being damaged. Tried the games, one didn't work for a bit, then I remembered the old Nintendo tricks, blow on the cartridge and into the machine too. Did the trick and it all works. Have one 3ds game so can't test that one out.

was browsing some deals, nothing spectacular but the sims 3 Katy Perry would cover the cost of all the games, but you would have to pay shipping. Unsure, games take long to sell, and I'm always like, got more to list, I should just start putting it all up, but maybe I'll get the energy once spring really starts. Can always pay with PayPal and pay the fee to cover in case of no shipping, lotsa feedback. I dunno, sharing a deal and replying. It's ok for sure

Edit: Lol, I never read. I doubt they'll ship if they say porch pick up and cash only...I tried because I was kinda bored again lol

It says there was a bike in the '90s that was very light, light enough that if heavily ridden off path could lead to frame failure. Scary to be riding a bike and it starts bending.

Did get a deal today. Said I'd share it until tomorrow, so will leave you all in a little suspense.

But this will kinda do: the previous deal she had, she had more big box games, but that doesn't mean quality...she had diablo 1 for $20, day of the tentacle for $50, Half Life 1 big box $20, some WOW dark portal and tides of darkness for $25 or $30 each, etc. Someone bought them all. Anyways, she did say she did have more, I'm like text me on my cell. Yeah right. So I'm browsing at 1am and see she posted at 10 pm or so. These games don't appear at the market at all, or are very rare. Won't even say how much I'm spending or how many games there are. She's coming over later this week too, guess she'll be around, and the first message I sent, inquired if delivery is possible, than remember the name from the previous games I missed out on.

That's all you get for today. Tomorrow, this riddle that will never make you pinpoint it at all, will have to endure until tomorrow...tomorrow! lol

So I guess they're keeping me kid with games still, haha. Can't grow up and fly, but then again, I've done most you can do reasonably speaking, now what's brand new or what's the energy with the people causing new waves? - maybe lol

Got Red Alert 2 Collector's Edition PC - it's missing the Soviet disc to the game only, but guess this, I had a red alert 2, with just the soviet disc. I hope they're standard discs and can make the switch. Unsure. Then I got Tiberian Sun Platinum Edition. Now Red Alert 2 collector's was at $40, Tiberian Sun Platinum at $50. I said, first, would you do $80 for both. She didn't reply clearly, so I said, I'll do the price, $90 + $5 for delivery. She's coming over later this week, not just for this, has something else to do, so that's cool. Sometimes it works out, since it's a bit farther, I'd prob either bus it in the cold, or have to borrow car lol.

Now I'm not really sure this is better, but somehow, feels like it's about even in terms of the price and deal beforehand, went to someone. I normally don't get too many rarities, I must try to now. Or at least get some more big box lots of games when they appear lol

I asked her nicely to take off the ads, as I'd buy for sure. Have some feedback there, so I'm sure she knew I'm not goofing.

People always try, heck I try, and got some deals that way before too, well, at least 2 I clearly remember. But now that I'm thinking bout the pictures, is there 2 or 3 figurines there? Should be 3. I hope it's the right amount. And I was thinking, zoomed in on the picture there, that the cds look pretty much the same. Versions shouldn't be dif either, as old collector's were all about bonus things, but the numbers on the cd might be different. No way to know for sure, will look around for more pictures, and guess I have to def mention it if I decide to list. Thinking these things might be worth more in the future, but I'm less and less a collector. Got 2 deeper shelves, that are rowed in that I'm keeping, and games put flat to top in the front. I guess I wanna see if I can still bank more in the future, and if my senses are still sharp. But things worth a lot, usually get me eager to try and cash in. Not always, but with games, I'm no longer that nostalgic.

Fun, mind puzzling, adventurous, action packed, and engineered to elevate without anything unless you want to. Pretty dope ideas in there too sometimes.

I had an idea for a game, but then got banned because of that topic when someone negged. Ha ha. Guess harder to think now, but it was to be called Sole Survivor, And a person is cast on a beach, and as he withers away, some parts seem like memories and some parts something else. As a needle and broken bottle get washed ashore, he hears noises and has dif ways to go in. Now this whole island is like a weird island with zombies, dinosaurs, monsters, etc. As he goes to kill some zombies, he realizes with those that he calls memories, he can control them to do his bidding like gang up on other zombies you're fighting. He then goes to different parts, and the memories get further, but he starts to realize the other things going on in his head are like calls to this island, like there's purpose here. I dunno, he kills off the biggest monster after, and blows up some of the island. I dunno, lol. I don't remember much more, or maybe that's it

I got an external Bluray drive and a cheapy DVD player for like $6.50 total at the Amazon dumpster store in town. The Bluray drive is a bit weird and the actual drive is like, 10 years old but it works. The cheapy DVD player is USB powered, upscales DVD to 1080p/i, and it doesn't like HDMI cables that are longer than 3 feet.

ETA: Books actually seem to sell on eBay. May try selling instead of taking to the book store.

All this stuff is/was available. Some games already claimed.

Hey, got the 2 games today. Weather was freaky the past days, with snow, etc, so they I guess decided they ain't coming down. Than said they'd need $25 for delivery unless you want to go pick up. I said fine after, so whatever $115. One pewter mini statue per, but read the back of the box and turns out yeah, there was really only one per. The two on the back are mentions of you will get either/or. So all good.

Funny thing too, I put the disc there that I had, and checked all the numbers, and the allied disc vs. the soviet disc is one number dif by one number, where and how it should be, just like the complete other editions I zoomed in of pics on. I don't think they made a change to the version due to the collector's edition, just added some things. I guess back then, people were getting lazy with these things. All good, some shiny boxes. Numbered editions.

Should I make a mention that I put the disc in. I know that may seem to make collector's crazy in a way, but I really think it's solved. I dunno.


EDIT EDIT EDIT: For Curiosity's Sake : I did say he did have more games, I replied under each heading, so this is what was available before:

Diablo pc big box $25
Maniac Mansion Day of the Tentacle : $50
Warcraft 2 Beyond The Dark Portal : $20
Command & Conquer Red Alert Counterstrike : $10
Quake III Arena in Metal Tin Collector's Edition: $25
Half Life Big Box Edition : $20

All complete and in box and some other games, but to be quite frank, I'm still happy. Hardly ever get quality games anymore, and this is quality. Unsure as to real values, but just to confirm, went through the MobyGames version of the game, and the disc numbers and cds correspond. I completed it! lol

I paid way more than I should've for these.

Three more DVDs for my Platinum Disc Corp Super Jewel Case collection, I'm pretty sure I didn't have that 4K Inception, and I wanted Electra and Daredevil on Bluray so these will do until I get the full versions.

Also, that little black thingy is the PS3 adapter for PS2 memory cards. I can't believe how much that thing is going for on eBay right now... I don't need it, but if anyone's interested in it, lemme know. :p

You won't believe my or me luck today, lol. I just posted a deal from Kitchener on a local forum, the thread got cancelled. I clicked on it, the link gone. But there weren't that many good games in that one, I was like, just share if someone is close. Then I see it got disallowed, prob cuz I put a bad link, or link was dead, and I'm banned so didn't get posted up immediately.

I check, 2 lots of games: $20 each. One has shogo in it boxed, the other diablo 1, she says 27 and 29 games. I'm like WOWOW. But I didn't see: Half Life, she included even. more games, and you wouldn't believe it, ANOTHER Command & Conquer Red Alert 2 Collector's Edition. Pictured coming later. She also had grim fandango, little folded, in box. I see Dune 2000, a new and sealed classics Dungeon Keeper. All this for $40, and I didn't bring up the biggest bag of big box games, as my mother had to drive my grandma back.

Yeah, my mom had the car today, decided to pick up grandma, and then I was like, time for a deal. So we all went out, had dinner at Chuck's Roadhouse later, and for the prices, their chicken might be better than Swiss Chalet. Or was I just stoned and hungry, maybe, it was pretty good. That concludes this for now, pictures coming later. I need a joint before than lol.

Those are the pics. Command & Conquer is still sealed. So is Ultima Online. The PSP Heavy Metal game has a game sampler disc inside...Put in first pics, some games that I know are worth more. Some I'll have to check, and hopefully be surprised. What a haul for $40, but I'll pay for my end of the meal and pitch for the peeps and gas and getting there and back, so I guess $80 is the cost lol.

I was just talking to my buddy, and telling him how in this deal, in like 10 or 12 or even 15 games, I'm looking at 1k, then I get to thinking. That command & conquer red alert 2 collector's edition, ahh, is there a statue...he might have put it in his room, or she might sell them along with the toys, too rude for me to go looking for this and contacting her, after already such a great deal. But yeah, guess after you feel the rhythm of life, you have to get back and count some cash, just to feel like you have the opportunity to live life. We're not special, maybe there will never be a resort where everyone get along around a weedfire lol. I dunno, meh. But yeah, no figure in that one. All good, still happy. No comments, some games did come in kinda folded, I hope she didn't do that in the last days she was treating it like $20 bags of nerd things haha

This thrift store that opened near me is weird. Video game prices are insanely high (like $5 minimum no matter the game), but the console prices are insanely low. I got the following for $30:

From last Saturday, one of my usual sources of movies told me "Hey dude I got like 1000 DVDs I'll be bringing down", so I waited and it was closer to 700. He had TONS of things that I wasn't interested in, but I still managed to grab the stuff below:

image

I paid about $15 for all of this. Punisher is going to replace my older, beat up copy. I also got a bundle of six Taylor Swift CDs from him. Did you know eBay buyers are going nuts over her CDs for some reason? I didn't. I also got some other things for reselling locally.

He had like, the entire MCU stuff up until The Eternals / Shang Chi. I hope someone grabbed all that stuff, because it rained in the afternoon and on Sunday so stuff might've gotten soaked...

He also had Bloodrayne 1, so I was hoping he'd have Bloodrayne 2 or other Uwe Boll movies. No luck. :(

Also bought a pair of nike ja Morant edition size 11 for $50. Someone came across that I knew, said he had them around, new and I was like, let me try em on, if they fit, it's sold. They fit, so I got some shoes lol

I had a doctor's appointment this morning and stopped at my father's afterward. He and I got lunch, then stopped in a retro toy store nearby.

I was told they had a small section of retro video games. They had quite a bit, but they were mostly crammed into a small display case or behind the counter. Most of them were on the pricier side, matching or slightly above Price Charting prices.

I managed to snag Amazing Penguin at a really good price! I had heard of this game, back when LRG released a reprint. Not much could be done for the discoloration, but I'm happy the stickers and tape were a success.

I nabbed a loose copy of Fire Emblem Warriors Nintendo New 3DS Nintendo 3DS for a cool $10.60. Not a great game at full price, but definitely worth $10. Now the question is: Should I pirate the DLC? If I had wanted it so badly, I should’ve bought it last year… but this also isn’t the ideal way to experience the DLC, as the Switch version is undeniably better. If I ever own the Switch version, I’ll definitely buy the DLC there.
