Clearly the guys got a huge shipment of games from an auction, and decided to sell them all for $2 each. The first set they gave me 13 for $20 for some reason. I have no idea why.

What a set. Games like Megaman X3 are very hard to get, as is Clock Tower. Most of these games are from the very early life of the Playstation, games like WarHawk use a very old style of packaging that not many used. Crazy stuff.

Now for an update on stuff I've bought and sold. I've sold plenty of stuff, and made plenty from it!

1. Sold one of the Amiga 500's with a third of the games [83], with joystick, mouse and all that. Sold it for $117.50, bought for $10 with 2 others!

2. Prince of Persia II PC, bought with the Amigas, $10.50

3. Nintendo 64 Green Controller, boxed, $29.

4. Nintendo 64 Gold with Box, Goldeneye and Star Wars games, $40. Bought with above controller for $5

5. Final Fantasy VIII Platinum, $20.50. Bought for $10.

6. Spyro 1 Platinum, $21.49, bought for $5.

7. Spyro 3 Platinum, $20.50, bought for $5.

8. Master System 1 console, $51 [Assuming the person finally pays this friday :|]

I've also made some mistakes in the math I've done on this site. I've done the right thing and made an excel spreadsheet of everything I've bought during this, and how it's sold.

Right now, I've spent $318.25 in games, while I've made $514.79 - a total of $196.54 profit, and I've not sold even half this stuff yet. I'm going pretty damn good.

Admittedly, I bought these games a few weeks ago, I haven't been out for a while, always sleeping in. After exams I'll start up again! To see the raw data, check this page:

How to blow up a PSOne

Today's Car Booting went pretty well. I was able to get two game items:

A PSOne console, and a GunCon45. The Guncon works fine - and with the Time Crisis I picked up a month or so ago, I can sell them together for mucho profits! Time Crisis didn't age very well either, it's damn ugly.

The PSOne didn't come with any cords - so I went and scurried through my cords to see if I could find a matching set. With all of my multi-inputs not working, I found out that my Laptop's input was the same, so I slapped that in.

Never do this!

After 5 seconds of testing that yes, it turns on, the PSOne started to smell of BURNING CHIP BOARDS. I unplugged it as quickly as possible, opening it up, it now has a nice char mark on the main board. Whoops.

I took it down to the local GameTraders [A store which for the most part sell exclusivly second hand games and console, as well as imported games], and got them to plug the console into a real power plug and AV cable. Thankfully, it still works. Only problem is that it still smells like burning plastic - I need to cover that up :) Plus I need to find cables for my own purposes - GT only sells them for stupidly high prices.

I got both together for 8 bucks. So even if the PSOne dies, it's still a good price for a GunCon.

I also picked up some other non-gaming stuff for keeps at the Car Boot Market - A bunch of DVDs. Poor guy was moving overseas and decided to offload his entire 300+ DVD collection. I picked up each of these [including box sets] for $5 each, a total of $55.

Those Family guy / American Dad box sets are still worth a good $20 on ebay each, so I'll watch the commentaries and sell them off anyway.

And lastly, and bare with me on this..

I found a Don Karnage - character from an old cartoon called Tailspin - plush doll. I bought it purely for selling purposes - and not some freaky furry-related stuff. You don't see much merchendise for the old Saturday Morning cartoons, even when they were around. And something which is considered 'obscure' now within the Disney Dome, you just never ever see. For a buck, you really can't go wrong, and I feel I can probably rake in a bit of cash from this thing. I've seen Sally Acorn Dolls [Character from an old Sonic Cartoon, released only in SEGA World Sydney] go for a ton of money, who knows how this will go.
