I guess that I wasn't done for the day. At Gamestop tonight:


About $8 for both of the PSP titles. But finding a steelbook copy of Ni No Kuni was very nice. I had been regretting not pre-ordering it and missing the steelbook, thankfully one of the employees traded in his copy so I nabbed it off the shelf.
My DS Cover Requests: Anno 1701, A Witch's Tale, A Witch's Wish, Black Sigil, Dynasty Warriors, Flower Sun and Rain, Mage Knight Destiny's Soldier, n+, Time Ace

Got a 32x off eBay for $50. Not sure if that's a good deal, but it was the only one on ebay complete with all original cables and both metal plates. I also got a couple 32x games, Doom and Mortal Kombat 2, for $5 from a LGS doing a buy one get one sale.

While my Value Village does gouge the crap out of retro games, it is a great game that I have been waiting to find cheap :)

Nice find! My Value Village pretty much prices every game at $4.99. From NES to X-Box 360. Use to be $2 once upon a time...

Well college is done and full-time work is back but I am still off on sundays so my weekly flea market trips continue. Can't wait for the upcoming weeks with garage sales back in full force and my open mornings on Fridays. Should be great summer. But anyways onto today's purchases.

Up first I found this center speaker for my surround sound setup. Much smaller and better quality then the one I had before and best of all it frees up a space on my shelve so I can keep another console or two out and looking nice. Best of all it only cost me 5 bucks.


I also found this DS from the same guy and he also only wanted $5 for it. I kinda figured it wasn't going to work but for the price I took a chance. Surprisingly it does work and the battery holds a good charge, I'll just have to replace the bottom screen, the digitizer still works though so overall not too bad.


Finally gotta go inside the building when I'm there and visited one of the usual game resellers, their prices aren't too bad and I figured I'd pay similarly if I bought it on ebay and the gratification of getting it now is so much better. Picked up Final Fantasy III (DS) for $10, Splatterhouse 3 (Genesis) for $25, and Phalanx (SNES) for $5.


I also received these in the mail. One an ebay auction for about $10, mainly wanted it just for Galaga 90'. Dragon Spirits is just the box but it will make a nice complete copy once I get my hands on the game.


Can't wait for next week. Nice weather is getting me in the mood for some good deals.

Also yes, I know I need to dust....

I think we bought from the same guy.  I remember seeing alot of that stuff in the boxes. 
Don't know why that guy was selling what seemed like an entire collection, but I was glad he did

Right? He had really good prices on his stuff and on top of that he asked me to offer him a lower price.

 for $3.00

 Since he spent less than $5 on me he didn't want any money in return.

 My Father in-law returned home with Star Ocean Second Story (PS1) near mint shape, complete. He paid $3. He let me take the better condition for myself.
 He also got 3 PS2 games for $1 each. They will become replacement cases for me. Mummy Dragon Emperor, Crazy Frog and Bionicle.

Got some Touhou Project games cheaply ($15 ea) and they are on their way. I also picked up a First Release edition of a PS Vita game. I really hate waiting so I always pay for the expensive delivery options >.< my wallet hates me.

I had a hell of a day at the flea market.



I didn't get a steal on EarthBound but I got a good deal on it.  I paid $125 so I think I did pretty good as the cart is in pretty nice shape and the contacts are clean.  Fired it up and it worked with no problems and the save works too.  The seller said he might have the box somewhere (doubt he has the guide) so he said he will see if he can find it for me. 

So I spent a good amount of money on a game and was feeling like I need to cut my spending for the day... then among some crappy sports games and common everyday PS2 titles I find a CIB copy of Rule of Rose.  Disc is kind of rough but it works fine and I could always get it buffed if I really needed to.  cost me $2.

Not the best photos, (camera phone!) but I managed to snag a killer TV over the weekend. 1987 Sony KV-C27 made in West Germany, picture had a few tiny niggles but a couple of magnets stuck on the back of the tube in the right places and now it's almost perfect. Seriously the convergence on this thing is insanely good, especially considering the age. Just need to find a good compromise with the overscan for the various consoles i'll be running on it then I can close it back up. The case needs a couple of cracks fixed and a few spots of paint but nothing that's beyond me.

Wish I could get some good shots of it, this thing blows me away every time I turn it on. 6th CRT i've had in the last 6 months.
