When they were clearing out dreamcast, I remember huge piles of blue, green vmus for $0.99 each. Somewhere in my basement is a huge box of nib vmus... and about 30 space channel 5 games ($0.99). Sadly now they send everything back for credit. I am looking forward to big aisles of pspgo though.
TRU was great for buying games, I have drawers stuffed full of 3rd party memory cards, controllers, etc that they used to give away free with nearly every game.
My local toy r us had a ton of new konami games for snes and gensis for dirt cheap. Never bothered to pick them up and i bet their value is higher now. I really do miss when toys r us was the place to get games, it had a certain charm to it now toys r us is a shadow of what it once was. Speaking of psp go, how well is that thing selling? I mean that market place is so cumbersome and complicated to use for an average consumer I doubt it is doing that well.
I could have picked up Paper Mario (64) for under $10 a copy on clearance, IE before they dumped the local store. Should have stocked up. Then, I completely missed the actual closing sales, or at least missed the good stuff.
I remember the TRU "Green Tag Sales" of like 2004. I bought TONS of sealed GCN/PS2 games for close to nothing and resold a lot of them on eBay. I also got some sealed N64 games for nothing which are now worth quite a bit. I miss the TRU of old.
I always thought TRU was a regional store chain in the US. Now I just realized 'TRU' is an abbreviation of 'Toys R Us'. Doh...
