More Goodwill Game Grabs

Last Sunday, I was on my way home from a lil bit north and I decided to stop in at a Goodwill I had only gone to twice before, and written of due to their prices on video games. It had been 2-3 years since I last stopped in there because they priced their games at $5.99-9.99.

Anyway, I went in and saw a bunch of Playstation 2 games, games I actually wanted to get. So I started checking them out. ALWAYS check inside your cases to make sure the game/correct game is in the case, and to check the condition of the discs. But none of them were priced. Then I looked around and saw that this Goodwill was also selling all video games for $2.99. Seems like that is the standard for Goodwills around here now, Awesome.

I already have this, but it sells for around $10.00 online so more money for my impulse buys

Then, as I was checking out, the clerk told me that on that day only, if I bought one of their reusable cloth bags for $2.00, I would get 40% Off my purchases. SO, the games ended up being $1.80 each!!

Was a great day to revisit this Goodwill.

And a Mercari deal I bought almost a month ago..... They lady sent them to me, the tracking showed they were out for delivery one day, then the next day when I checked the tracking it showed and alert: Waiting for delivery scan? Another week goes by, and the lady messeges me and says they came back to her? Weird..... So then she resent them out a few days later, and I finally got them.

Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic Advance 3 for the Game Boy Advance

I already had the other two Sonic Advance games, and they are great fun. I also wanted the original Sonic the Hedgehog port and these both were together in a bundle for $20.00 shipped. 

More to come soon!

Steelbook AND a Bonus Disc!

For my long time readers, what are the two things that I like to collect the most? Especially when it comes to my Xbox 360 collection?

Steelbook Cases and Bonus Discs 

I was watching White's (formerly CraigslistGameFinds) YouTube channel  He had a cool series running that he resuscitated called the $5.00 Game Collection. He starts building a video game collection with only a $5.00 bill. Anyway he was at a Goodwill and came across an Xbox 360 Steelbook, with a Soundtrack Bonus Disc, and when I saw it, I knew I had to have one for myself!

 Assassins Creed IV Black Flag

Very nice condition, $12.00

Now, those of you who A: Know Black Flag and B: Those who have been following me and know that I generally use Xbox 360 double disc cases for bonus discs, are asking, Since Blag Flag already comes in a double disc case, What are you going to do with the bonus disc?

Paper Sleeve

Isn't that how the Quake II bonus disc came in with Quake 4 brand new?

Seriously, come on, would I really settle for leaving it like that?

There were a couple of 360 games that came in 3 disc cases (that were only 1 disc on PS3) Both Rage and L.A. Noire. And Rage can be picked up at Gamestop for $2.99.

Ahhhhhh, That's better!

 Tetris Worlds

and here with the copy I did have

 I wasn't crazy

Now, this was at the Salvation Army that, in my opinion, overprices their games at $4.99 for PS2/Xbox/Gamecube. Xbox 360, PS3 and newer are like $6.99....Anyway, The day I was in happened to blue 1/2 off blue tags, which these PS2 games were. I woulda paid the $4.99 for WRC though, just cause I have been looking for it to play. But, at $2.49 each, Great Prices!

Also bought Blood Money with John Cusack DVD fer a buck
