Where having some fun thrifting round hull, Enjoying a full round trip of all my local haunts the other day the best thing been the first time in ages I have gone out for pleasure rather then business since having a steady job, Video game hunting has turned back into a hobby and any items I find for resale comes as a bonus not a necessity, lets check out what was on offer.
Knights Contract on PS3, One thing of note on the Thrift this time out is I picked up more PS3 games then any other format, £3.50 for Knight contract, There is still 50p cash left in it at CEX and Ebay you could get the retail of about £8 this one looks set to rise in price.
Trinity Souls of zill o'll for £3.50 same story with this one CEX sell it for £8 never have it in stock, I mentioned this game in my list of PS3 games that will go up in value so I will stash this for a while and see what happens on ebay.
Fable Lost Chapters For £2 sealed up, Of course the anniversary edition on 360 mite dint the Resale on this item but at £2 sealed up brand new who can argue, Bargin.
X blaze, My mate and I used to joke when we where doing a deal with each other we would always say I will throw in X blaze to sweetness the trade, I found the PS3 version brand new sealed up with the Strategy Guide for £3.50.
Came with this sweet X blaze poster, Shame the game is'nt better its an average Hack and slash affair with the Camera permanently fix on the main protagonists butt cleavage.
Sometimes I will pick up a cheap VHS tape for something Easy to slam on, Same can be said for UMD movies, This was a good call because my house was getting some Wiring redone and the power was off for an hour so a charged up PSP with Friday to watch helped me out.
Simon the Sorcerer double pack had the bonus of the other two spin off games on the disc so 4 games in total and always sells on ebay so its a good shout for some easy feedback and goes for decent money if your paying less then £2 for it.
Simpson's Game all the money in this game Ran out a few years back I paid a £1 for it because it was a request I had, I will always look out for things people ask me for because 9 times out of 10 in the same week it will turn up.
£1 for Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising, This sells in most retail for £3-£4 so there is little Resale, But passing a 360 game up for £1 that isn't fifa, Worth a £1 to try it out.
Everybody's golf World tour for £1.50 slowly PS3 turning up more often at cheaper prices This is still £4 cash £6 Trade in Cex so £1.50 is Greart, And its a nice change of Pass with a cartoony golf game I have been playing this one and it ain't half bad.
This was in a local Charity shop, Its all them gamecube games that got Price up at £12.50, This happens from time to time, One Volunteer gets carried away with the pricing, Then another Volunteer takes the price it has on it at face value and then locks it away like Charity shop Treasure, Non of these games are going any where in a hurry.
Get in Final Fantasy X! I have been looking near and far... Yeah there are just about getting thin on the Ground now the old FFX its like a over fished Game the thing is if you leave it long enough they do seem to reproduce and bring the numbers back in lol.
Few Games in Empty PS1 cases Crusader no remorse and Marvel Ultimate Alliacne, Discs on there own are hit and miss some discs can go well over £10 these with have a Few quid in them and coming with a few spare PS1 Cases sweetness the deal I can always do with Spares.
Specking of Games that still have Resale on Just the disc alone, Breath of fire III in dove house for £1, With box and back cover, Even missing the front cover and book Its a Great Find this game has only every turned up once in the wild for me few years before I started Thrift Bytes, £1 is a great price for what it is and easy for me to Keep the disc Just to play the thing Its just to rarer site now days to let this one go on ebay.
Something else I notice always happens in charity shops, Big box PC games always end up in and amongst the Jigsaw puzzles and boards games due to the shop not having space or them not knowing what they are.
I paid the Cash price for Metal Gear Solid The Twin Snakes, Bit of a pisser Because I had some Stuff I could of Traded in at home but I wasn't going to chance this getting bought before I could get back to CEX, I have wanted this game for years top end on ebay £45-£50 so its Still a good deal and the stuff I had to Trade can go on something else out of the GameCube stuff in CEX there had loads of great games on Cube in there Twin snakes was top billing Metal gear solid with improved Graphics this should of been included in the Legacy HD collection not Just the chuffing PSN code for the PS1 original.
