I've got the same concern about a game shop in my area. Overpriced consoles and big-name items keep me away from the place although you can still find some stuff for good prices ($1.50 for Tomb Raider PS1, $8 for Mortal Kombat SNES). Plus the place doubles as an old-school arcade which is another reason I keep going back :p
Retailers aside though I got some decent pickups this month via trading.
Clive Barker's Jericho, Blazblue: Calamity Trigger, Final Fantasy XIII-2, and Jade Empire Special Edition (needs a cover if anyone has it).

I have the Limited Edition but my scanner sucks so I checked Cover Galaxy and they had it http://www.covergalaxy.com/forum/microsoft-xbox/11198-jade-empire-limited-edition-ntsc-u-cover-sleeve.html
Or if you don't care if it's the LE cover the regular one looks like a better scan http://www.covergalaxy.com/XBox/Jade+Empire/Cover/

I really miss that game! Clocked in sooo many hours into the multiplayer with a couple buddies I met up with that happen to be from Toronto (only a 4-5 hour drive from me). The first game that seriously got me interested multiplayer. We would consecutively smash kids together one after another on a daily basis until we would desert the multiplayer to the point where we couldn't even find players to play with. Then it got really dead, period. Wonder if anyone still plays...
Anyway, we've been tearing up GTA Online together lately! ;)

Went out to garage sales today, the two i went to I scored at both.
First went to one that listed they had video games and walked out with a nice Dreamcast lot for $20. System, 3 controllers, and 27 games . I was happy with what I paid, and I thought there was nothing really that special, just a few good games like House of the Dead 2, Crazy Taxi, Legacy of Kain, Slave Zero.
But, As I was doing a clean and a proper price check I noticed the Sonic Adventure is Limited Edition, and pretty pricy :) unfortunately it doesnt have the manual.
The next sale was a collector getting rid of some of his stuff. it was pretty picked through when I got there, But managed to grab these 4 games for $40. I needed Kirby and Ogre Battle for my collection, but Mario Party and Wipe Out will be for sale/ trade to recoup some money.

Seeing as October is ending soon, guess i'll post what i got this month... won't have picture this time around though, picture are back in november!! hehe!
I got 4 NES Manual and 1 game (all off ebay) the 4 manual are : Ice Hockey, IronSword, Mario/Duckhunt and Mario/Duckhunt/World Class Track Meet... 8$ shipped to me.
The game was Castlevania (the first) with a damaged label that i will replace, paid 12$ shipped.
I got a 5 SNES game lot for 33$ shipped (off ebay too)
-Donkey Kong Country
-Darius Twin
-Lagoon
-Top Gear x2
Bought these specially for Lagoon to complete the set.
Also got Pac-Man 2 The New Adventure for 3$ yesterday, currently working on a vertical cover but im not a really good artist, it will be a placeholder until we can find a better one! Unless someone got a good one hehe!
I got a ps3 Game for 2$ off best buy because i needed to buy a new router, shipping was free if i bought the game, so got a 6 or 7$ game for 2$ (instead of paying the shipping)
-Brutal Legend
And.....Got everything i needed this month to start building my shelves, been working on it the last few weekend, so i wasnt really active on pickups and stuff...and ps4 is coming, so im saving some money to get some more games at launch!
Next month i should be posting pics of stuff i get and my new shelves!
Can't wait!!
