The Professor's finds
PICTURES!
So my dad works for srp fixing paycenters so he drives all over the pplace and gets to stop at goodwills and other thrift stores so today he found these for the nes (all of them were $6.99)
#1 Q*bert
#2 Blaster Masters
#3 The Legend of Zelda
#4 Contra
#5 Mike Tyson's Punch Out
So all of them are going in to my collection and the LoZ is gonna be an upgrade (my old one looks like they took a chainsaw to it)
Finds of 08/31/13
So i went to Bookmans mesa today to go to a Dr horrible thing which was awesome. I went to the video game section and decided to get a few things
#1 Sega power base converter $15 (Which i think is a great price)
#2 Metroid Other M Art folio $6
and i have a 13-17 card (which is for kids 13-17) so i got a 15% off every thing
Prof tip for anyone in phoenix: bookmans mesa sells Snes and Nes dust covers 4 for a $1 you just have to ask for them
Conveniently theres a goodwill next door so i got
#1 Game informer #135 $0.49 (they had a bunch but this one cought my eye because it had metroid prime echos on the front
#2 3rd party NES controller $2.99
#3 3rd party 16mb PS2 memory card $1.49
so those are my finds for 8/30/13 more to come

Cool finds! I always found that the goodwill next to that Bookmans was overpriced with their games because they probably knew people would just go next door and try to trade in the games they just bought. I wish I was 13-17...
yeah i agree once they had like 5 original xboxs priced at $19.99. but i find good stuff there sometime like last time i went in i got a game gear carry case for like $2.99
The Goodwill next door mostly sucks when I visit, but I did find an NES top loader there for $5 (though the power and dogbones were sold separately), so don't completely dismiss it!

Ahh - I remember seeing that Metroid: Other M art folio, but I didn't pay much attention to it because I didn't like Other M
