DefaultGen | 5,401 Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Damn you had $3 and you blew your whole budget on one and a half guitars? I would’ve tried to get Mass Effect 2. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would’ve tried to get Mass Effect 2. Hey I forgot I picked up the game right after for $2. Let’s make it the $5 Xbox 360 collection. Also is mass effect 2 a good one? Lol I have very little knowledge of the library actually. Pretty much a shelf collection as I didn’t grow up with the system and have no connection to it in any way. It’s just out there in the wild like the old nes days so….it could be fun and maybe I’ll learn a thing or two. And let’s be completely honest I’m hoping it’s worth millions in a few years, when semi uncommon titles will be worth $100 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH | 4,902 Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 I don't get it... you said this was first a $3 xbox 360 collection, and then a $5 collection... but you've yet to post a single title (or peripheral) you can use with a 360?! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drxandy | 3,225 Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 (edited) When I got these they were a buck each oOOoo I think these were 1.99$ or a buck.. maybe the first gears was 3.99. eh. Edited April 12, 2022 by drxandy 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estil | 1,264 Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 I been thinking of getting a 360 actually. Kinda slim pickings though on the exclusives...or at least games that did not get a PS3/PS4 release. But I did start earning achievement points on those free (mostly) Microsoft Solitare/Minesweeper/etc games for the PC and I thought it might be neat to continue that on a 360. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docile tapeworm | 4,198 Posted April 12, 2022 Author Share Posted April 12, 2022 @RH lol your right! It’s a flipper game.

I made out like a bandit for a while. Every once in a while something pops up at the thrift for cheap still. Last year I got copies of blue dragon, the last reminant, Majin and the forbidden kingdom, few other RPGs for 3.99 ea which was killer. Last time I was in there I think they had a copy of blue dragon for 15$. I missed out on this gen too so it's been fun catching up. Even if there are games that were multiplatform I like the controller. Edited April 12, 2022 by drxandy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH | 4,902 Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 My general rule is that I don't care what the title is, if it's $1 and it's in mint shape, I'll buy it. If it's $3 and NOT a sports title (or cheap handheld shovelware) I'll buy that too. The $1 games, even the sports ones, are always good for OEM case swaps at a minimum. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made out like a bandit for a while. Every once in a while something pops up at the thrift for cheap still. I used to run a wordpress website about games readily available at Gamestop, Redbox (when they used to sell games), and eBay (When you could still get $5 games with free shipping and no tax). I haven't been back to the site in years but apparently the eBay links still work. Looking back at some of the games I posted back then makes me wish I picked up more as, like you said, even the baseline for the cheap stuff has shifted higher. fivedollarcollector.wordpress.com Edited April 12, 2022 by Aguy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wild that it should be fun. Of course, the wild is where you'll find most of the deals. On a lark, I checked what GS still offers, and for what it's worth, they still have some non sports related stuff for $5 one might be able to find CIB in store.

The Count | 526 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 I'm just impressed you sold Guitar Hero III and guitar for $20. I think I had like five guitars at one point and I literally could not give them away so I donated them to the Good Will. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It got a lot of hits and “is this still available” even a few “ok I’ll buy it”. At least 5 people asked if I would ship it and when I said ya for an extra $20 they never replied back. i see them sell on eBay for $40 I think it might be this particular one (Gibson les Paul) that sells good. but I’ll be honest a couple times I was like “I should have started off trying to flip something easier” lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docile tapeworm | 4,198 Posted July 19, 2022 Author Share Posted July 19, 2022 (edited) Ok so I decided to keep the vcr/dvd combo. I’m going to put that $3 back into our collection fund. So we are back at $15. went to check the mail Saturday and the neighbors were moving and I see this… so there was a box of clothes and I pull out a couple hats. Local high school. sold them on fb marketplace for $20. so we got $35 in the funds now. Edited July 19, 2022 by docile tapeworm 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
