    Sallah came to visit the Game Czar today to warn him to stay away from bad dates, and to drop off this great trade from the No Swear Gamer!

    I didn't have much of a budget today, but it was all blown before 8am.

    Total Spent:  $29
    Total Value:  $91

    Not too shabby!


    EDIT:  Interesting note, most of this was one garage sale, they had 2 XBox 360 systems they wanted $125 each for, Xbox controllers for $15 each, and they wanted 7 bucks each for Xbox games.     But they had a Wii for $25 (I ran out of monies), and all the Wii games were $5 each, as were the DS games.
    Curious pricing to say the least.  I guess they mistakenly thought XBox > Nintendo in value.

    A good ole fashioned "User Group".

    I remember when me and a friend had a Vic-20 user group when we were kids.  We basically just shared software on cassettes with each other.    Good times!

    OMG, thank you for posting Payday 2.  My kids and I played a ton of original Payday.  It will be fun to revisit the sequel.

    True story, back in the late 70s, Mario used to be a beat cop until he got strung out on Doritos.

    Apparently Warlock is based on that strange horror movie of the same name.

    Nice!
     
    Fun story: There was this little area of the space left in the box when I was packing it up, so I quickly grabbed Donny & Snafu (literally a random pick from a bunch of Inty games I had in a box) to fill it. So glad I did and they both found a great home!
     
    And Yes, that is an adapter for the 3D glasses for the master system. One end goes into the system and you plug the glasses into the other side.

    I got the junk box today, this what I took out:
    Xmen for sega genesis- cool game!
    Lion king sega genesis-I already had this one but this one is in better shape
    Warlock sega genesis-never heard of this one, so I decided to try this out, hopefully a good one.
    Xbox Star Wars knights 2-I've heard this is an awesome game, can't wait to play it!
    Space wars Atari 2600-another one to add to my collection
    Snafu for intellivision-another one I don't own yet, wonder why I didn't get this one sooner?
    Frogger Atari 8 bit- never played this version, but I know this should be a great game
    3D adapter for sega master system? Someone correct me if I'm wrong on this but definitely looks like something for master system.
    Tmnt movie- I already had this, but I can never have too much of ninja turtles lol
    Tmnt pez- Now I have 3 of them, only missing Leo...
    Finally this Pac man belt buckle (more like one of the ghosts) cool to have nevertheless.
    I'll repack this with more goodies and send it out to the next person in line, good junk so far!

    This is why i tell people as much as i can when i deal with local people. Ebay is a good way to base your games value, but you need to take some off because of all the fees.

    This is true with any times that you sell that are under $5.  By the time you're done with all the fees you either make almost nothing or end up losing money!  So it doesn't seem to be worthwhile selling these items on Ebay.  With games I suppose a bundle works out best but I think you can get more credit from Albert on AA.

    It can be hard to make a profit on smaller items on ebay for sure!  Thanks for the expense breakdown as it really spells it out better than I could ever explain it. 
     
    I'm under the impression that a lot of sellers on ebay will sell items at little to no profit just to raise their stats (such as amount of items sold, and potentially their satisfied customer rating) so that when they do sell higher ticket items they have a better chance of moving it.  I know i'm personally one for checking a sellers rating when i'm placing a bid on something, especially when it is expensive.
