Nice scores Jone! That Earthworm Jim on the Sega CD is worth $50-75 by itself as well. if you diddn't know.
Seriously? I could've picked it up for significantly cheaper than that a while back, but passed because it was still more than I felt like spending on a game for a system I don't even have yet.
within the last couple weeks I have been givin all of these by a co-worker. Mario kart and paper mario didnt have carts in them. Also picked these up off craigslist this moring on my way home from work. he had like ten ps1 games for 2-5 bucks each. ffVII was 5 and the other 2 were 2 and 3 bucks. This is like my third FFVII I have found for like 5 bucks this month haha.
Not sure if this belongs here so feel free to remove if necessary.
Anyways, I recently discovered that the Special Edition version of Tales of Vesperia (360) that I bought last year is somewhat rare and/or is in somewhat high demand atm. Upon further review I also discovered that there was an exclusive offer for a "special gift" included with the special edition copies of the game. This "special gift" offer was not well placed (it was in small text at the bottom of an insert) and as a result many people did not even find out about the offer until after is was too late (the offer ended 4 months ago). Well, I decided "what the heck" and called Namco Bandai hoping to at least learn a little more about the offer.
I was met with disguntled customer service reps who did not want to help me. This did not sit well with me and I refused to take their flippant attitudes and "sorry, the offer is over" responses. After negotiating with a few reps (I spoke with 3) I finally got the information I suspected ... "they may or may not have a copy lying around somewhere". Long story short I sent them a copy of my insert with my confirmation code and mailing address, and 2 days later I have my exclusive Tales of Vesperia soundtrack vol 2. Yay!
Not sure if it will be worth anything but the satisfaction of knowing that I "won" makes me feel good. So, with that said, anyone who has this game and did not capitalize on the free offer, it is not impossible to obtain one. If anyone would like further information I would be happy to share with them the questions I asked and the comments I made to get it done.

EDIT--They also had a boxed Aura interactor for $14 which I passed on as I already have it in my collection and I didnt think it was worth flipping. the tough one was a boxed Virtual Boy whicj was $35 but the box was destroyed. I need that for my collection but I like decent boxes....I was still really close to buying it though.
went to the flea market yesterday and picked up Lode Runner, Top Gun 2, Double Dribble and Commando all with sleeves and in very good condition. 2 for $5.
I went to the local store yesterday. I was in the parking lot when I saw a guy taking out a bag out of his car. Before he sold it to the store, I went up to him and asked what he had, looked through the, and said I'd pay better than the store. He wanted 30 for everything, I haggled down to 20 (I knew this guy wasn't desperate), and that was that.
Never had anything smell so much like cigarettes before. They cleaned up really nicely, and the cleaning got rid of the repulsive stench. And the cleanest of all was GI Joe, what luck . (Also, there's a MB 3 Screw).

Back in the swing of hunting on eBay a lot, we'll see how this year goes.
Nice scores Jone! That Earthworm Jim on the Sega CD is worth $50-75 by itself as well.
It looks like that one wasn't included in the auction unfortunately.
