Generationz 2013 Finders Keepers! Off to a good start!

Hi all!  It's a new year, so I decided to start a new finders keepers thread.  MODS please feel free to lock my previous finders keepers thread.



Was at work late last night launching an application, went to go grab some Mexican food.  The Mexican spot is right near this used DVD/Game store.  Saw a dude come out with a huge box of manuals and games.  I asked him if I could take a peek.  He stated he didn't have time and was in a rush, as was I since I was in the middle of launching an app.  I cut to the point and ask him how much the used DVD/Game store offered.  He said $40.00, so I took a shot in the dark and offered $80 in cash on the spot.  He gladly accepted and here is what I got! 



I don't collect CIB so I have no idea how I did on the manuals and I don't even have a master system, so I'm pretty lost on those.  If anyone could shed some light on if I got a good deal or not I would appreciate it!



Anyways pictures!



Manuals

Edit - All manuals will be for sale once I get a better idea of how much they are worth.

    Point Blank series is great fun!  I def reccomend you getting it if you can get your hands on a copy!



    1/10/2013 Pick ups!



    Had to work a 16 hour shift yesterday, but I got two lunches.  So on my 2nd lunch I head over to McDonalds and I see the guy who sold me the box of stuff I got in the first post.  He asks me "How's my box treating me?"  My immature mind was in the gutter so I let out a little smirk and replied FANTASTIC!  Anyways, he stated he had another box in his trunk that went with the first box of stuff he sold to me.  He asked for $30.00, but after buying my McDonalds I only had $17 and some change.  He accepts, so I got all this!

    Local thrift stor had a half off sale on electornics! Picked up the PS3 and Wii games for 5 bucks each.  Hit up a local gamestop and got some PS2 games from the BOGO sale.  Found a PS1 disc among the PS2 discs, Gamestop doesn't have pricing for PS1 games anymore, so he gave it to me for FREE!!

  • Some great finds man! Are you in the SoCal area? BTW I'm interested in the Wild Guns manual if you're selling/trading.
  • ^^ No sir! I'm in the Northern California area. I'll let you know about the Wild Guns.
  • ^ That explains a lot then, as there aren't as great of deals down here haha. Cool man keep me posted on the wild guns. Even though it's pretty worn, I'd still like to have one. I have stuff to trade as well.
  • ^ It's rough out here too man! Every week I see more and more people on the game hunt. Lately I've been hitting flea markets early and getting to stores right when they open. Seems like it's my only choice if I want to grab some solid titles.
