![]() ![]() I then walked out with about $2.40 of comic books. While I was there, I decided to thumb through their surprisingly vast comics section. This thrift store had a comic book I saw, which I decided to snatch up immediately. My usual thrift store haunts in downtown Portland were a bust, except in one store. Like one time I found a Japanese copy of Hot Shots Golf 2 for the PlayStation. Sometimes when I’m in downtown Portland, I poke my head inside a couple thrift stores in the area, as I’ve gotten a few interesting things from them in the past. I still follow this rule for some multiplatform games, but only on ones I don’t already have elsewhere. I’m trying to replace my multiplatform released games from the GameCube with PS2 or Xbox equivalents, mainly because most of the multiplatform ports on the GC suck control-wise or for other reasons.Ģ020 update: As time goes on I realized that this wasn’t necessary for some games, and I ended up selling most of these back years later. ![]() I then rebought 007: Agent Under Fire, 007: Everything or Nothing and 007: Nightfire all on the PlayStation 2 for a total of $8. I opted for the store credit, which was more than GS was gonna give me. Since it was unopened, they offered me $14 in cash or $21 in store credit. GameStop wanted $18 credit for it, so I opted to try my luck with my reliable Video Game Wizards, a local Portland game store I’ve talked about in the past. Such as a shrinkwrapped copy of Saints Row: The Third for Xbox 360. Since I bought games on the Steam Summer sale from a few weeks back, I suddenly had games on systems I didn’t need. I’m trying to burn off the excess store credit I have with GameStop so I don’t have to do much business with them anymore, especially with some of their terrible business practices. While I did find Perfect Dark Zero for a ridiculous $2, Boom Blox was considerably less ridiculous at $13. Surprising no one, finding interesting stuff at GameStop is a crapshoot. Instead I went to some thrift stores and found some interesting finds. I really should be getting prepared for a camping trip (as I originally wrote this). ![]()
