Some Good Pick Ups

Today all I had planned was to take a few items that I had sold on eBay to the post office to ship them out. After that I decided to go into Tenjin but before I went there I stopped at a place that is between my house and Tenjin. I have been seen this place for awhile but due to the location I had put it off. The place is more known for DVD rentals but they also advertise that they sell games. When I walked in they really didn't have much there was only one rack of games. Needless to say I didn't find anything worth buying there, it was basically a wasted trip but at least I now know that there is nothing there.

I had decided that I was going to buy the Sega Saturn that I had seen at Mandarake but before I went there I stopped by Book Off. However there was nothing to be found today, thats okay I only went there because I was in the area. I left and went headed to Mandarake, after I decided to buy the Saturn I was still torn. At first I told myself it would be better if it was sold but then I thought no it would be better if it was not white. If it had yellowed I wouldn't want it.

So I walked in and turned the corner to see the Saturn in that was in the case. Only I would have seen it if it had been there, it turns out it was sold. Ha Boo. I guess its for the best, I just hope it was yellowed and something I would passed on.

The day was not a total loss looking though the Saturn games I found a few gems. The first was Try Rush Deppy they were only asking $12 and it can go for anywhere from $150-$200. The second game I found was a game I had been looking for (at an affordable price) since I first visited Japan 7 years ago. In the USA the Saturns holy grail is Panzer Dragoon Saga in Japan it is (or was more on that in a bit) Radiant Silvergun. This game was released on Xbox Live Arcade in 2011 at that time this games value dropped by half. That said the game is still pretty valuable running around $150. I was able to find a copy for $60 and for me that was a fair price and one that I could make a profit on.
