Thanks! Half of it is probably going up for sale/trade/eBay, so let me know if anything caught your eye. Mario Kart, South Park, and the accessories are all going in the collection.
It included another game (I think its the retail version of the combo cart it is supposed to be packaged with), but it was camera shy. There's some residue on the cables but it should clean up nicely. However, the real score was something I came across within two hours of its posting: a lot of PS2, Xbox, and GameBoy games, with 30-50 for each system, and two PS2 system's and an Xbox. I was able to negotiate a great price for the lot, and picked it up immediately:
Ah, all the controllers! And Virtua Tennis for the GBA. Putting it at 46 GBA games, 10 GameBoy games, 3 DS Lite dust covers, 1 Rumble Pack, and 1 blue first-party GB game case so far, plus a filthy-but-branded DS case, for the Nintendo stuff, at least. Then its 3 wireless Xbox controllers (2 Logitech, 1 Madcatz), one first party wired Xbox controller, and one memory card. For the PS2, we have a Multitap and a DVD remote, a Dual Shock 2, a PSOne Dual Shock, a wireless controller, a wireless Nerf controller, and a steering wheel controller. 74 items so far, and we've barely scratched the surface. Oh, and lets not forget the other DS case, the PS2 case, and the Xbox and PS2 slim consoles themselves. 78.
I might have to hang on to Destroy All Humans. Was BATMAN: VENGEANCE any good? I remember it was a launch title for the GameCube era, but I don't think I've ever played it. It looks like its loosely in Bruce Timm's style, which was the pinaccle of animated superhero television.
None of these look fun. How was the Xbox even a console? Pac-Man World 2 was so good they got it on both systems, I guess. 29 Xbox games in all, making it 162 things in all.
Huge lot of stuff breaks down to ~ $1.25 per thing.
Is it just me or is a black label Destroy all Humans for PS2 uncommon? I've seen hundreds of the GH release and have bought a handful throughout the years but have yet to replace my GH copy.
That sounds vaguely familiar. What a bunch of asshats.
I stopped by three Gamestops today. Very slim pickings at each store and the only game of interest was a CIB Jaws for 19.99 but it was in rough condition so I passed.
Stunning dude on those PS2 games. I got one over the weekend for the first time in a decade and I'm enjoying the system again. I'm also enjoying the fact most the games feel like the 2000s Nintendo pricing again where most of it is stupid cheap and the rest isn't bad at all with just a few quirky outliers. It makes the hunt and fun all again finally rewarding once more.

I managed to find some pretty nice things. I popped into a local vintage shop and picked up this beauty for $10:

This will go very well with my gold N64, which previously only had one controller.
I also had some good luck with craigslist this week! For example, I picked up this boxed Sega Master System for $40:

Wow, that's a big box and a lot of bags. Let's start with the bags.

It looks like they meant GameBoy Advance. Let's take a better look at those.

Well, it may not be every Mario and Pokemon game for the GBA, but its certainly a good start.

This must be the GameBoy games they were talking about!
Hm, and what about that big hunting box?

Shall we dig into that box?

A fat PS2 and 4 PSX games. 83.
Time to dig through the games! This is going to be cool only for quantity.

Lots of sports and kids games...

Yup. Ooh, Pac-Man World might be fun.

And Ratchet and Clank rounds out the PS2 games. 50 even, it looks like. That puts us well over the 100-item mark at 133 pieces so far.
Time to slodge through the Xbox games, and we are done.

Anyways, awesome finds!

In the ps1 games, is that the MK3 Jewel case, or some generic case. If it was, I would be amazed.
NVM, I doubt that. Twas a stupid question.

I believe it is! why?

That is an awesome haul of sadly incomplete PS2 games. Are they getting rid of PS2 games everywhere or is this a single store?
It is so sad that they threw out the cases -- especially considering that a bunch seem to be new-to-used conversions.
This is chainwide.
