While I was at work this week, my awesome sister was at the local thrift shop with my mom, and found an amazing haul of GameCube games: 17 of them, all $2 a piece (except for one which was only $1), totalling to $33. All of them are in fair or better condition, with original label cases (except one player's choice case), manuals, and working discs (though some are a bit scratched). She and mom picked them up for me since I was working, and I paid them back when I got paid Friday.

I already own Melee, Sunshine, and GX, but my copy of Melee is the player's choice label, and my Sunshine copy has a disc damaged so badly that it can't finish playing the credits (which prevents me from saving and unlocking post-game bonuses like the vacation shirt, etc). I'll probably keep these new copies for myself as a result, but I'm not sure what to do with the extra GX and extra working copy of Melee I have as a result. I also already have Metroid Prime 1 and 2 via the trilogy on Wii, but it's nice to own the original GameCube versions again (I was stupid to get rid of them after getting Trilogy), so I'll definitely keep those. I'm also not a huge fan of the James Bond or X-Men games after trying them...

I don't feel right flipping thing for a profit, so I'll see if there are some friends of mine who would like a nice surprise. Otherwise, I'll probably sell them.

I. Hate. You.

You got some games worth the total price by itself! (I'm looking at you, Melee)

Yeah, I've noticed!

If it makes you feel any better, I have never, EVER gotten any finds like that where I live before. I live in the middle of freaking nowhere with crotchety old people, so the thrift shops never have any games at all. I just got super lucky this one time! Every other time, when I want retro games, it's normal price on Amazon, for me.

I just added a WTB edit to my thread for GCN games.

Mostly cuz I just picked up a nice lil gamecube and it needs some games!

If you feel like selling that F-zero, lemme know.

Should also probably add all the recent stuff me and my gf have been hunting for, so give me a second to go mobile and I will have some pics up!

So this is the result of a week of hunting at my local retro shop daily, and some garage saling.

I picked up the Witcher a day before it released, so that's super awesome.

Found most of the games at my local store, got a few buy 2, get one free which is awesome.

Also had them (for free) safely remove the pins at the bottom of my SNES and smooth them out, so I can play region free games.
Which leads me to explain the Japanese cart. Found that online for $3, it is a Godzilla Soccer game. Yes that's right, Godzilla and friends play soccer. It's fucking amazing. There's also Ultraman, Gundam, and Kamen Rider characters.

Now as for the GameCube. Doesn't look like your average cube does it? I found the little guy at the same retro shop. I've never seen one before, so I assume it was custom made. It was only $30 so I think it's a huge score for me. Works just fine, was a little dusty though so I cleaned it up a bit
