An N64DD, boxed, which came with ALL of the games for 12,800 yen. I said to myself "I'll buy it next week, I am too lazy to go to the ATM." Of course that next week, it was gone.

I was holding a copy of Einhander for the ps1 at a store I was working at. I get a discount, but I was, "Nobody knows its here. I'll get it later." I called the next day, it was sold on Amazon.

Used dreamcast with three controllers, 2 vmus, and 30 burned copies of games for 30 bucks. Next day it was gone.

My goodwill is pretty useless to. Everything is overpriced. $60 for a genesis with 1 controller and "Not guaranteed to work, NO REFUNDS"

Somebody donated it to you for free you douchebags! If you drop the prices of all this crap in half you'll have 5 times as many people in here.

In 2007 Walmart had Gameboy Micros for $30. I passed it up and got a 360 instead, not too upset though.

you know I passed on getting a few spare Micro's for around $20 a piece new at Wal-Mart back then and I still regret it as I actually loved the little thing.

It wasn't the best version of the GBA, especially since it lost backwards compatibility, but it did have a headphone jack unlike the SP. I'd be nice to have one to keep, one to sell when sealed copies of the system becomes valuable.

My Goodwill has the same problem. $15 for a used as-is Dreamcast controller is too much, especially considering Slackers has it for $10 used with a 90 day guarantee. Their system and accessory prices really are bad. Their prices on games are alright, although the selection stinks and most games are scratched to heck and missing the manual.

Reminds me of the time I saw a PS1 (the older gray model) at Salvation Army with something like puke all over it. $20.
What's even more suprising is that someone eventually bought it. :?

Around December of last year there were several auctions for Bulk Slash on the Saturn. All of them were going for around $20. I wanted to buy the game (after reading about it here on Racket) but I held off. Go look at the listings now. :(

You know what I saw at my Goodwill? Doom. For the 32X. A couple of crappy sports titles too that I didn't care for to. Maybe some other time I'll go back and maybe they will have something decent. The Salvation Army store by me is pretty good though. I found Time Crisis with the booklet and back insert for a buck fifty. I also snagged two old Lupin III tapes and a green jacket to do a Lupin cosplay with for a few bucks too.
