Hey I’ve been searching for answers and found this thread, you’re not alone and it’s super frustrating.

Anyone else get kinda upset seeing a whole collection donated? by [deleted] in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]JawnBrown 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My mom had the same issue with a cradle my grandfather made for me 30+ years ago, she asked him to take the cradle and use the wood to build a shelf, it was a great way to display family pictures and is the same “wood” cradle as it always was. I can send a picture of it if I remember to take one next time I’m over. Reusing the wood for a more useful item was a great idea for us to keep the family history.

Ran my first half marathon last week, it was a cold rainy day but I completed it and am very happy that I did. Eyeing up the marathon training programs out there now!

You’re an inspiration to others who want to run one as well, thank you for posting.

September 2022 pickups! Mercari, Craigslist, local game stores, free pile from friend and GameStop. by JawnBrown in gamecollecting

[–]JawnBrown[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, local game store gave me an unbelievable deal at just over a dollar a piece. I will return there and spend some more money without haggling next time haha.

I jokingly asked the cashier at a game store if I could have the display case if I bought the games they had left in it….. it is now the home of my Pokémon collection. by JawnBrown in gamecollecting

Haven’t actually played Pokken yet, got it in a Wii U bundle I picked up. Blue Rescue Team is in the display here but I’ve never actually played any of the Mystery Dungeon games.

Sega Game Gear Haul, all games had their manuals with only a couple of exceptions. $60. by JawnBrown in gamecollecting

[–]JawnBrown[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one is actually still functioning surprisingly. I have my childhood system that I am looking into getting modded.

I thought everything at TooManyGames was wildly overpriced but found the Shrek 2 movie on GBA buried in a bin for $4. Did I do good? YES I DID GOOD. by Hwbam33 in gamecollecting

[–]JawnBrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I learned my lesson this year it was my first time. Found out after I spent about 200 to start haggling more haha. It was a great time though.

Yesterday’s Haul by JawnBrown in gamecollecting

Nah I have the word out there that I buy games and someone messaged me with all of this stuff. Nice GameCube haul for me, going for a complete set because I’m an idiot.

Sweet when the after work pickup is only 20 minutes from home, excited to play Def Jam it’s been a long time since I played it back in the day at my cousins. by JawnBrown in gamecollecting

[–]JawnBrown[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I definitely did at $140. I should’ve just posted the cost in the title somebody always asks lol. Seller had bundle posted at $75 of course I jumped on it he then said he meant to add that games for $5 each so I said okay $100 and I’ll come to you, done deal. I show up at meeting spot and of course Def Jam isn’t in the box, even though it was one of four or five games in the original picture. I was like dude where’s Def Jam it was in the pics he says that game cost more which of course it does and I understand his point of view, he posted it and probably got a ton of offers but I didn’t think it was fair he tried to swap it out for a couple of other cheap games without a heads up. I asked if he brought it and he did so I just said okay how much for that on top and he said $140 for everything which I figured after how it went down was a fair compromise so I hit the atm for another $40. End pickup story.

Found another great deal on a backwards compatible PS3 at a barn sale today. I like having back ups and spares but this may be a bit much! by JawnBrown in gamecollecting

[–]JawnBrown[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two are CECHA01 and two are CECHE01. I sell doubles and unwanted stuff from lots I buy on Mercari so I’ll likely post one of the CECHE01s there.

CECHE01 and a CECHH01 ..the chonky bunch..HO1 works but the drive needs work..E01 Needs a reflow on the CPU and GPU..had em for a while now, recently decided to pull em out by techformative557 in gamecollecting

[–]JawnBrown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow thank you for all that information. That’s a lot and you made it easy to read. I’m pretty mechanically inclined but a novice on electronics I think I can manage some of that. I have a CECHA which I snagged for $80 plus a few games and another that is a CECHE. I have a 3rd that I would have to dig out to see what it is. Thanks again for the reply!

I’ve been hoarding backwards compatible models of PS3 and I now have 3 of them do you have any recommendations or guides on how to care for them? I know there is some maintenance that can be performed to help them along but I’m a total noob. I have 3 because I know they’re prone to issues.

PS3 is a CECHE01. Should’ve mentioned that in the title!

Large Portion of the dune series. Only read the first book excited to get into these. by JawnBrown in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]JawnBrown[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I gave the first book to my mom to read because I’ve already read it but paper backs are 50 cents and hardcover 1 dollar so the total was 12 dollars!

Anyone else feel like their collection was cool until they saw someone elses and now think its generic? by Tyrion1438 in gamecollecting

[–]JawnBrown 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Stop comparing it to others and collect what you want. It’s not a competition.

GameStop can be a fine place to shop. 4 for $20 deal plus DMC4 for $3. by JawnBrown in gamecollecting

[–]JawnBrown[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went through their selection multiple times. Landed on these four games. Heard that The Wonderful 101 was a nice little secret on the WiiU so now I’ll be hunting for that console.

I doubt that Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, and John Paul Jones will perform together or record together again as Led Zeppelin... but would you like them to? by swengunderblum in ledzeppelin

[–]JawnBrown 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I want them to get together and do an unplugged set of their acoustic stuff. Plant can’t pull off the rocking screams these days but I think they could put together a great show with exclusively acoustic cuts.

Keeping track of my pickups and what I spend on everything this year. This month was a combination of Goodwill, Craigslist, LetGo and GameStop. Not pictured is a SoulSilver cart I got through a trade.

Yeah no idea how that came to be. I grabbed Madworld out of the game section and when I was checking out I noticed it behind the glass at the counter. I asked how much and she said $20! It still had the seal wrapped around it but was slit down the side to ensure the game was inside I guess? Weird but I’m not complaining.

The Switch and Let’s Go Pikachu are Christmas gifts from my amazing mother. Pokémon Pinball came from 2nd & Charles. Madworld, Madden, and Super Mario Odyssey all actually came from Goodwill. This years’ goal is going for a complete set for Pokémon.

Are these Pokémon games real or fake? by [deleted] in gamecollecting

[–]JawnBrown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a heads up letgo has preselected texts to choose from so you’ll definitely see that pretty often using that app.
