Been a while since I've posted but figured I'd throw out my recent find. All my days off from work I'm taking care of our two year old while mom works. We have this routine of checking out local thrift stores and pawn shops to see if i can find some more gems to add to my ever growing video game collection. I usually hit up the same stores at least once a week sometimes more. This one day i figured i go check out the local sports cards and collectables store.

      I usually don't go to this store because anytime i ever go in there she has either next to nothing or very overpriced games. Such an example would be her cheapest game being 15.95 plus TAX! Mario Partys for the N64 were priced at $79.99Cdn and Golden Eye 007 was priced at $49.95Cdn. Yeah this place is pricey but hey never knows maybe ill catch her slipping as the Game Chasers would say. So i walk into this little store which is mainly older sports cards and memorabilia with the exception of a small corner of video games consisting of nes, snes and N64 games. I browse through them and then I see a clayfighter sitting on the shelf with no price tag on it. I figured it was just the 63 1/3 one but looking a little closer i noticed it was a sculptors cut! I picked it up and had a look. Still had the blockbuster sticker on the back. I picked it off the shelf and asked the owner what she wanted for it. I was expecting a stupid price looking at what some of the other games were listed for. She asked if there was a price on it and there wasn't. She said well same as the rest than $15.95. I was like ok and put it on the table by the register. i had a quick glance over the rest  just to make sure there wasn't any more gems sitting on the shelf. So ended up getting sculptors cut for just over $17. Definitely made it worth the time to go check out the store.

        I've found a few great titles lately such as Clay Fighter, Earthbound, Panic Restaurant and a Complete in the box copy of Snow Board Kids 2. Heading to Edmonton and the end of the month so hopefully can find some more good quality titles or the boxes and manuals for some of my games i have already. Take it easy
