May 2015 - May the buy force be strong with you.
Megatron:
I flew in to my hometown for a few days and hit up 3 local game stores. The lot cost me about $100 across the 3 places.
PS1/PS2 titles were buy 2 get 2 free
Magna Carta (PS2) $25
Resident Evil 2 Dual Shock $20 - with this I now own all NTSC US releases of Resident Evil titles.
Wild Arms - Free (Would have been $20)
Dragon Valor - Free (Would have been $20)
NES/SNES were 20% off
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers the Movie - $18 after discount
Yo Noid - $4 after discount
Dash Galaxy - $0.50
Borderlands was mismarked at $15, and I had a gift card, so it was free (I am guessing they marked it thinking it was Borderlands 2 for 360)
Guides were $5 each
And not really game related, but the Masters of the Universe Collections were $4 each, and Sleeping Beauty Blu Ray (my favorite Disney film) was $6
Now comes the task of finding space in my suitcase for them.
My Majora's Mask Messenger Bag also came. :D

Nice pickup. I've been looking for a dual shock version of RE2, but I would hate to spend much money on it since I would probably prefer the original since I've put so many hours into the D-pad.
I also need the long box to RE1 and the non Director's Cut of RE1 in regular jewel case.

Thanks! I have been looking for RE2 for a while. I have the greatest hits version of dualshock, but the original can be tricky to find. Sellers on eBay usually overcharge since it's hard to find despite it not being worth any more, so I have just been checking gamestores until I found one that was just on the shelf (as surprisingly few people know there is actually a difference). I see the RE1 jewel case versions occasionally here and there, but I haven't seen a longbox version in the wild in years. I need a new one as well, as mine is almost 20 years old and the joints are cracked.

How much were you planning on selling it for? I have a Goldstar, but I kind of want the other model as well.

There are 3 models actually. 2 Panasonic, and one Goldstar.

In the US.
There were two other models only released in Japan, plus the PC card that could be used to turn your computer with Windows 3.1 into a 3DO
