Austin's Blog - Used book stores that carry videogames can be awesome (and sometimes not so much).

[RSS Bot]

There is a local used book store that carries all sorts of things. Books (no way!), used music CDs, vinyl records, DVDs and VHS tapes (Hell, I'd bet Beta tapes are there somewhere). A few months back they began taking trades on all generations of video games. Surprisingly, they get quite a selection thanks to the oldies constantly cleaning out their attics.. Unfortunately, word has gotten out about the place and it's usually picked-over by the time I get there. Well, the good stuff is picked over, anyway. Some items are way overpriced (FFVII GH for $50? No thanks). However, some games are totally under the usual market value. Here, you can score many goodies, such as nice CIB Genesis games, for about a buck or two a piece. I've snagged some great titles on the 'cheap, and when there is a larger selection than usual, I usually end up walking out with ten or fifteen games, all for under twenty or thirty dollars. Nice.

 

So, today I made the once-every-couple-week...
