    I just started a new job and finally got paid after 2 months (dont ask) so i decided to treat myself. I went into town and into one of those grotty cash-converter shops and piked up this lot:

    Boxed Gamecube (Mariokart Double Dash Platinum Pak)
    Resident Evil
    Resident Evil 2
    Resident Evil 3
    Terminator 3 Redemption
    and last but not least a Mega-CD game called Road Avenger

    all for under £60

    I dont know much about gamecube collecting so i dont know if this is normal or not but when i came home and looked online the platinum pak gamecube alone was £99

    is this normal for gamecube stuff or did i just get lucky?

    thanks

    Cube stuff is often sold off quite cheaply, It's the sad, harsh reality of being in 3rd place over here :(
    But thats still a good deal, however RE2 and 3 are a bit shite as they don't have updated graphics like RE1 does. Nonetheless, they're still good games, if a bit lacking graphically

    Road Avenger is fucking badass, congrats. Can be had for a quid & it's worth is more than monetary.
