Title: I'll never understand this...
Post by: Tupin on August 24, 2008, 04:12:56 PM
Okay, so I went to Goodwill today and looked at their games, and I saw a factory sealed copy of Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast on PC for $4. I bought it of course.

I just have to wonder, who buys a game and then puts it in a box in their basement for six years before giving it to Goodwill? Anyway, I'm not going to open it because it's worth a lot more than $4. Not as much as Academy, but still worth something.

Ever seen factory sealed games at stores that were like from the 1990's?

I got MP:2 at a store like that for 8 bucks...a month or two after it came out.

Saw the Sims Deluxe in box, with manual, both discs, and key for $4.

Happy day.

Yeah, but probably when they came out. Of course I don't collect them, I just play them.

For some reason, I have a feeling that the PS3 games they had there cost less than $10.

A few weeks ago I looked inside a trash can and found Jungle Book, in the original box, for the Gamegear. If I weren't in a hurry, I would have kept looking for a Game Gear to play it on.

Why were you looking inside a trash can?

And why were you doing it in a hurry?

Who knows.

Maybe it was a trash can behind a game store.

Not at stores, no...

But online at Amazon sealed copies of Um Jammer Lammy sell for around $1. The shipping ups it to $4 though of course.

Naturally I bought one.

Ive never been that lucky,but I do have a few games that aren't sealed, but they're in their original boxes with the manuals. 

My friend gave them to me when she gave me her NES.

Relative to my interests.

I still have DKC and WarioWare: Mega MicroGame$'s boxes, manuals, etc. in the box, not sealed though.

I've got Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt, Ghosts 'N Goblins, Top Gun, Captain Skyhawk, Milon's Secret Castle, and The Legend of Zelda.  But I've had the Zelda game for YEARS.
The games that have their original boxes are Sky Shark, Air Wolf, and Pin-Bot.

Pin-Bot is my favorite. <3333
