Today me and Aimee got the baby off to creche, and around 9:40, we decided to go over to the super market to pick some stuff up.
Before leaving the house, I asked if we could go for a walk through the town first and go around a few charity shops. We did have things to do, and didn't really have time to waste doing that, but I'm glad we did and you'll see why!
Here's a nice little stack of games I picked up. Hitman 2, Fable, A Fable Bonus Documentary, and Return of The King.
Each of these were a fiver, but online they go for a little bit more than that, so I should be able to make a few Euros when I list them... hopefully.
I picked these 4 games up for six Euros, which wasn't a bad little haul for a cheap price, and the mark up should be okay.
It seems like PC games on average are cheaper to pick up, and there tends to be a good bit of room for profit.
I got these two for a fiver each too.
Not bad, but not great. Again, maybe there's a little room to make something, but not a whole lot. But, they're good shelf fillers, so I picked them up.
This one I got for 50 Cent, which was really decent. Especially considering the game seems to go for around 3 - 10 Euros.
Not a bad mark-up, and I wish that particular shop has a few more games going. They had one Nintendo DS game, which I was going to buy, but upon checking the box the game was missing.
Always check out what you're about to buy if you can.
Drum Roll Please, For This Next Game...
I got Halo Reach, Factory Sealed for only five Euros!
Seeing any game which is sealed is worth picking up for the sake of it, it's something cool to have on the shelf, and most likely will be worth something to someone.
But, if you can get a well known and liked game sealed, you could be looking at some decent profit!
Here's a picture of the back of the box.
I honestly couldn't believe this was there, and I was so happy to have gone down town when we did. At any point before we got there someone could have snagged this.
From what I can see online this game sealed has sold for between 87 Euros to 120 Euros! That is one hell of a profit, and the sale of this one item will have paid for the last 3 shopping sessions I've done.
This session - 41.50 spent
Last Session - 52-ish
The Session Before - 40 Euros
I've spent a half decent amount on stocking up, but by my estimations, that 133.50 spent has the potential of returning about 600 Euros.
Before getting to these shops I came across some PS2 games, but upon checking the case the main game of the three I wanted - GTA: Vice City - wasn't there. So I decided to leave them.
Anyway, I think I done pretty well with this little haul, and I'm going to keep on the lookout for games in the future.
That looks like a good haul. We like trawling the charity shops, but I don't buy too much. I really don't need more books and DVDs. In one at the weekend there were hundreds of Commando comics. I assume someone had a clear-out. I would have expected that games would get sold rather than donated as they can be expensive. I do see a few older games around the shops.
I like picking up a good book when I see one, and DvD's are good when something special comes along. For a while I was collecting BluRays but had to stop myself, and now I just pick up a favourite when I see it.
It's surprising to see games popping up in them, to be honest. I guess it's just people who don't want to go through the hassle of selling the stuff.
Charity shops don't take electricals over here which is a shame, because I'd imagine there would be the odd console handed in.
Happy hunting man, I'd say you'd find some good stuff over there. Here is a bit limited and most of the shops just stock clothes, but I've had a lot of luck recently.
My other half gets a few clothes and came home with a lamp yesterday. I think they have to at least PAT test the appliances and some have quite a few electricals.
For that price, it was a good deal with Assassins Creed, mainly because I wanted to have the game haha. But I'd agree Halo is probably the best deal out of them, not to mention it's sealed too.
I've found a few sealed titles, but to find that one it was amazing!
I love the Assassins Creed games, the Ezio trilogy is so good, they're some of my favourite games of the series.
!PIMP
I remember back in they day they even have mobile version of it. I played for a while and now still waiting for massive sale on Ezio's trilogy on Steam.
Oh you'll get it for a good price on steam, I'd say the summer sale will be kicking off soon and you'd be able to get it then.
Was the one on phone the side scroller game? I remember playing that one too.
it looked something like this for their mobile game. AFAIK, they were parts of EA game, right?
Halo Reach was so good!
I still can't believe I found that one sealed!
Such a great game, I still have all of my Xbox games from back in the day. Some great titles were released on that console.
Killer always has that classic games
.. you got great taste man... I'm glad you stopped by the charity shop😂👌
Same! There were other games, but these ones caught my eye and I had to snag them.
Jump on good deals as they come along, even though it has hurt my wallet a bit haha
Don't worry Buddy, Your wallet will have to take that hit😂😂😂😂
Here's some !WEED hope you can sell that to pay off 😂😂🥰🥰🥰 sorry just making a joke😂😂 how's the family though
All good man, we're actually off on a small holiday at the moment. A couple of days to unwind and recharge the batteries.
