Does anayo shop at some forgotten village that doesn't have internet access, so its local shopkeepers aren't aware of eBay prices? There's a thrift store circuit my mom and I hit from Greensboro to Durham. We'll usually head West one day then East the other day because they're so far apart. We just sort of know the lay of the land by now in terms of which shops are worth checking. 20 year old PC games are almost always mistaken for music CDs. Those are priced pretty low no matter where you go. Also I think since most people prefer Steam or GoG, they're not as sought after, so they're easy to find. One of them is a Goodwill outlet where they take everything that didn't sell from other goodwills. They just condense everything into huge bins. Clothes are priced by the pound and media is something like $0.50 an item. I had to dig through these tubs of VHS tapes, vinyl records, and CDs to find the Spyros. Those 80's PC games I posted a few months ago came from there too. In the one where I found Skies of Arcadia, they don't research prices for anything with a DVD-shaped box. However, they seem to think Nintendo and Sega cartridges are worth researching, because once they had a bunch of ho-hum NES and Genesis games in the glass display case priced at the eBay going rate.

Yeah the PC games being cheap I can expect, but the prices you're paying for those disc-based console games are crazy cheap. Nice job finding that stuff at that price.

Pictured: Nintendo Wii console (black color, no cables or controllers) Total cost: free, someone put it in the trash at the car wash It powers up and displays a picture. I only checked the disk drive to make sure it would recognize Winnie the Pooh's Rumbly Tumbly Adventure for Gamecube and spit it back out. I haven't tested it any more thoroughly than that. I already have sooo many Wii's, but the wastefulness of some people just galls me. At least take your crap to Goodwill.

Seriously. The Wii makes for a really nice homebrew platform!

You have some crazy luck anayo... that seems to be the trend of this thread. Are you ever actively looking for things like this or rather not at all? lol

anayoThat is the exact model of Wii I own. Thankfully it has that sweet GameCube retro-compatibility built in. Only thing I don't like about it, is the high gloss black finish shows finger prints like they're neon.

Are you ever actively looking for things like this or rather not at all? lol The 17-19 February stuff including all the Gamecube and PS2 RPGs I was actively looking for. The 17 March Wii was literally left on the corner of a trash can while I was vacuuming my car at the car wash. Lately I've had a few weekends where I decided not to go to the flea market because after a year of charting my beaten games on my backloggery page it became clear I own more games than I'll ever find time to beat.
