Some good S*** there Blumpie. Im kinda jealous of your Castlevanias and the Gameshark from your 64 lot.

 I just saw someone buy a copy of Duck Tales from GameStop today. The girl tried telling them it wasn't really worth purchasing the physical copy because its really just a cardboard disc with a code on it and it is actually $5 more than on the PSN...he still bought it.

If history has told us anything, Mick Dundee, it's that the boxes are often worth ridiculous amounts of money.

After I read this thread, I went to Gamestop to see if they had any of the Duck Tales left and they did! I also picked up the retail New Super Luigi U today!



The last time I remember Capcom releasing the retail box thing was for Marvel Vs Capcom 2. I have that one, but I opened it to get the code. Silly me. Not opening this one!

Good day at the flea market today. Bought a few audio equipment items but didn't bother picturing those this week. Did find this gaming stuff however.

Got these two SNES games for $5 a piece.


Then kept looking around and stumbled across this Dreamcast Lot. Guy wanted $50, offered $30 and got it for $40. Nothing outstanding but it's not often you come across Dreamcast stuff in my area so I couldn't pass it up.

That Dreamcast looks like it may have been involved in a murder.

Haha yeah everything is a bit dirty. Think it may have been sitting in a basement for a few years. A couple of the games need a deep cleaning but everything is working for the most part.

Not much this week but got the following:

Shelf - $1 - it's to put my stuff I'm selling on

Luigi U $30

Boom Blox: Bash Party $9.



Got both the games from EB Games.

The clerk was super insistent on me getting the guarantee for the games even after I said no twice.

That place annoys me more and more every time.

I remember the clerk at a local gamestop was telling someone not to waste their money on a ps2 version of GTA because they could buy a digital copy on PSN. It was only a few days after that happened that I heard that Sony was not going to transfer any of the PS3 PSN purchases over to the PS4. lol!

If you can't hold it, you don't really own it.

I know that name sounded familiar. You just bought an xbox lot on eBay didn't you? :P

Until today I didn't even know there was a box for DuckTales Remastered. I would have considered the five extra bucks, but I don't think I need it when I already have the original NES cart in a UGC anyways.

Then why not stop shopping there?   I know I don't, and it's pretty much for the same reasons.
