What was I thinking?

I went to Half Priced Books Friday and PASSED on a CIB copy of Ice Climbers for $10.



I was already getting a few loose games there, and honestly, I don't really go for CIB games since the cardboard is so fragile.



I don't have Ice Climbers, but there are still ALOT of cheaper games I don't have. Kinda going for quantity over quality at this point.



Still...the game HAUNTS me!

    The worst is when you facepalm, make the drive back, and it's gone lesson learned, yes? As Otter said, always give boxed games a second look / consideration.

    Yeah, more or less any boxed game is worth $10 to me. I passed on a minty in box WiiU Mario+Luigi U bundle for $180 last week because the guy at the pawn shop was busy helping someone else. Went back after lunch and it was gone. Not that broken up about it, but it was an extremely good buy.

    Half Price eh? If you're near KY you're tempting me to drive up the street and see if it's still there as I don't have that game.

    Could make $$$ from trading or selling it. Then you could add a lot more than 10$ Worth of games to your collection!!

    There are some of these on my local Craig's list for 180.00 new also.. seems odd to me kinda. Like you said that's a good deal...stolen?

    You should be heading back there RIGHT NOW! For $10, any CIB NES game is a no-brainer purchase. Unless its in trash condition, most NES CIB games typically go for at least $10.

    Not to hijack the thread, but yeah, I would say stolen/drugs, PS4/Xbone purchase trade in, or useless Xmas present (ie they never used it).

    I passed on some boxed games once at a salvation army. The dude was pricing a bin of gaming stuff at the counter and im like hey mind if I look through them. I picked out the best nes games, like dodge ball.adventure island 2..and dogbone controller.



    The games in box were beatup and like sports and rollerball was the other one. Couldnt bring myself to spend the cash on them LOL...but shouldve cause as said...lucky to find the boxes regardless.

    If I'm ever lucky to find a boxed game in the wild idc what condition it's in I'll grab it if it's cheap enough. Case in point I found Worms for the GBC...the box was pretty ripped up but I still bought it because it was like 8 bucks.



    Boxes are very rare to find for me...hell anything retro is rare but boxes are even rarer. That being said if I find them at a pawn shop and it's a crappy sports game..I might not get it. One of the local pawn shops here has a few GB boxes for baseball and other sports games..the boxes are very minty but i'm not into sports games.
