Post everytime you buy something game related and your unbelievable deals

I saw it too, I stared at my monitor for 5 minutes with my mouth wide open when I saw it. The price was $650 by the way.

 

A friend of mine was moving to Leeds, only taking one suitcase with him meant he didn't have room for his Xbox. So for £3.10 (all the change in my pocket) i got an Xbox, 11 loose games, DVD remote (2 receivers for some reason), and a MadCatz wireless control pad (seen better days) :thumbsup:

 

That should be how all purchases should work.

Great haul.

 

Mine today wasn't a purchase or a trade it was a gift from a friend of mine. I went over to a couple friends and walk in and he says he has something for me. He hands me a complete copy of Mega Man on the game gear. He's even more of a collector than me so I know he knows what it's worth. I at first told him I couldn't accept it, but he insists because he knows I want to collect every Mega Man game and knows I will most likely never find a complete copy like this for a low price and know I would do the same for him if I knew there was something he was really wanting to get for his collection. (which is true) He refused to accept payment, but needless to say his bowling will be payed for this weekend!

 

I am good friends with a guy that owns a stand at the flea market. Three times now, I've been given 2-3 DS Lites for repair, and all he ever wants back is one working one. An hour or so work swapping screens, and BAM! I get a nice load of parts, twice now enough to build up another unit!

 

How did i not know there was a Megaman for Gamegear!?!?!?:banghead:

Seriously, i have no idea how that one slipped my radar, im a huge Megaman fan.

 

Me neither. I thought it was a typo, and looked it up.

BOY, IS MY FACE RED!!

 

$20 for a CIB Coleco Gemini.

 

remember a few months back, when i purchased a net yaroze kit missing the access card?

well, i went to a flea market and saw a set of 5 ps1 memory cards with an access card among them. got the lot for a total 5 euro.

 

I Remeber when i got Socom 3 and the logitech USB headset boxed and everything for half the price of what they were wanting for the game on its own, i'm sure i posted about it here.

I always see stuff were pre-owned copies of games are priced higher sometimes than NEW copies of the same game although usually its when i'm skint.

 

Gotta love how that works out.

Got a JVC X'EYE for $10 as it was "broken". Turns out it needed a new switch to determine if the lid was closed or not and it was good as new.

 

I got a brand new copy of Mirror's Edge for the PS3 for a rather tidy £6 today in Morrisons.

If any one else is interested they have Mirror's Edge and some WWF Wrestling game for both the 360 and PS3 for £6. There was also a few random Wii games that were either 6 or 7 quid, like Dragon Quest.

 

I remember when the Gamecube came out, I wanted to buy a used one, as I didn't have much money at that time...I was searching at ebay and did bid on a new one just for fun (perhaps because the auction ended in a few minutes). And guess what I won! A new Gamecube with 1 controller, Memorycard and 2 games for 60€. I thought that was cheap!
I also have a few games from ebay, I got under 10€, all in Mint condition and boxed.

 

I got an NES with two pads and a few games for £6. I then sold one of the games for £6 on eBay.

Got a White Saturn in a shop sold as untested for £5, it's now chipped with an EU power board.

Got a fat PS2 for £5 as well as an Xbox for £5 in the same shop, both sold as untested. Think the PS2 is a bit dodgy, but the Xbox works great.

Got many great condition Game Boy's for £1 too.

 

A few years back when I worked at GameStop a guy came in and wanted to get Pokemon for the DS. He had a stack of PS1 games, all in mint condition. GameStop stopped taking PS1 games at this time so I decided to buy him Pokemon in trade of his PS1 games.

I got Breath of Fire III, Final Fantasy VIII, GTA 2, Parasite Eve 2, and to top it all off, Suikoden II. All for $30.

 

The week before last I got an awesome haul at a few charity shops:
overlord 2 for the 360 (it had been out less than a month) £1

animal crossing w/ memory card gc
harvest moon gc
that wallace and gromit game gc
and a couple of less valuable things for the cube

that spiderman game for the ds

all mint condition boxed w/ instructions, all for £1 each

I sold animal crossing on ebay within 24 hours for £22. (already had a copy)

Also in the last few weeks I got a mint condition parasite eve 2 for ps1 for £1 and a boxed N64 expansion pack for £3 both of which I already had copies of and flipped. I hit a bit of a lucky vein I think, hope it continues!

 

Cool:thumbsup: Why dosen't that ever happen to me?:banghead:

Which company was it? And are you danish, since you have a profile on playright?

 

wtf, a tool for 20 ?!
you just made me cry :crying::crying::crying: i've spent like 1k for mine already -___-

why doesn't that ever happen to me either ? OH:

 

if I saw a TOOL for £20 at a car boot I'd be unable to buy it because I'd have exploded as soon as I laid eyes on it

really lucky find there

 

Hahaha :lol:
