March 2014 stuff for the 5th best month of the year
<< < (44/48) > >>
Megatron:
My local game store had a "Gamer's Exchange" today, kinda like a flea market for video games.  Lots of over priced stuff, but some really good deals if you're willing to look.

Got this lot for $31 (with $5 coupon for liking on Facebook).  Price is combined, items from 4 different vendors.



Individual prices listed:
Final Fantasy II Famicom - $5
Batman Famicom - $5
Battletoads (some label damage) - $9
Phantasy Star II (label damage) - $6
Shadow of the Beast - $2
Sword of Sodan - $1
Ecco the Dolphin Complete - $2
Donkey Kong 64 - $15

After haggling, I got the total for all down to $36, and then $31 with coupon.

Is your local game store estarland Megatron? I always think about going to one of their gamer exchanges each month but can't seem to justify the 2 hr drive. They look fun though.

Yes, Estarland is the place.  The Gamer Exchanges are always hit or miss.  For some more expensive items, like Megaman X-2, PS1 RPGs, Zelda titles, etc. they are pretty much market value, with some haggle room. Especially if you buy a lot from one vendor.  The little stuff is unpredictable, but I always leave feeling like I got a good deal.  This year they had a vendor selling snes repros for like $45-$50 bucks. 

What I would recommend is liking them on facebook.  They tend to post pictures of what the vendors are selling a few days in advance.  If you see something, I think it's worth the trip.  Just get there early, because when it starts there is a line out the door, and any mega deals are gone soon.
