Goodwill to Gamestop Game Flip

 I was perusing the video games at one of the Goodwills I frequent, and I saw a Xbox 360 copy of Modern Warfare 2. But I usually always check inside the cases in case the wrong disc is in them, and something good is instead.

In this copy was a Call of Duty Black Ops II, which I know trades into Gamestop for $10.00+. There was also a unopened Xbox Live Trial card, which I wanted for my Xbox 360 Collection, just cause. So I paid the $2.99 for it and when I got home I went to the Gamestop website, looked up the trade in value, and........

$13.20 Store Credit, Nice!

So yesterday I was out near a Gamestop and brought my the Disc Only copy of Black Ops II in a paper sleeve, and traded it in for Store Credit. And of course I had to wander around the store and see if there was something I wanted to buy.

First thing I noticed is how sad their Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 selection was. I realize it was 2 system generations ago, but still, my main collecting focus is my Xbox 360 collection. I did however manage to find a 360 game to add to my collection.

Dragon Age Inquisition
This game did not come with a physical manual

I have this digitally 😕 on Xbox One, but needed it for my 360 collection


I also picked up an Xbox One game

Gravel
Love me some Rally Games

Played this for several hours already, Plays alot like the Dirt games (hence the similar game title?) it is a fun game AND it also has one of my favorite Rally Cars ever, the Toyota Celica GT+4


Would love a real one of these to take to the Dirtfish Rally School

Picked up more Xbox 360 Games

 After a little Holiday vacation, I am back with the First post for 2021, picking up games for one of my favorite consoles to play and collect for. All of these were scored at either Goodwill or Salvation Army so were either $1.99 or $2.99


First up let's get the ones missing the manual out of the way


Tropico 5


The Outfit


The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle Earth II


You know I Love my Racing Games!
Indianapolis 500 Evolution


Another one to keep an eye out for if you need the 3 Disc case
Assassin's Creed Ezio Trilogy


I thought I would try taking the pictures differently of the No Manual games, no one wants to see the large slab of  Mountain Dew Green, I may just do this going forward, I like it better.


Next up are the complete games, in the traditional picture posting style.


Skate


Project Sylpheed Arc of Deception


Baja 1000 The Official Game


Bladestorm The Hundred Years' War


Mercenaries 2 World in Flames



Conflict Denied Ops


MX vs. ATV Untamed



These next four still had the Xbox Seal (cut) on them where a person would open the case. They looked like they had just been opened, looked at and put back on a shelf. They are in New Condition!


Fatal Inertia


Command & Conquer 3 Kane's Wrath


Damnation


Risen




Lots of new additions to the collection, More to come!
