Nice pick-ups, 'Marker, and for a great price. That copy of Metroid Prime Trilogy does look good; is it complete with the art pamphlet?

Every time someone posts a 'I got Metroid Prime Trilogy cheap' post, I wanna kick myself. I regret not picking that up when I saw it for £15 :fp:

Wow, that's good price! Great find :)

I paid £30~ish for my Metroid Prime collection. Thought it was great price considering it's like £10 per game.

Thanks. Got it from a second shop, had to check the disc and stuff but it was almost pristine, I was made up.

Just picked up a mint PlayStation and super slim PS2 with 5 controllers, 4 official memory cards and 33 complete games out of a transparent bin bag on the street. 31 of the games are critically acclaimed and sell on eBay for £2 to £10.

I donated everything I didn't want to British Heart foundation Dropoff and recycled some other stuff.

The perfect crime.

Dude. It was outside a bank in industrial recycling bags mixed up with coffee cups and other random gooseberry fool.

I think some pampered executive in a bank (there were some training video dvds in the bag, I won't say which bank) who cleared his desk of a Ps collection, and literally through it away, it not going to marr my conscience.

It was me that donated what I didn't want to charity. The rest would have been incinerated or gone to electrical recycling. And I recycled the coffee cups :3

First time I've done it. Free games consoles.

It was all completely clean just mixed up with some stuff. Barely used..

I wasn't gonna dive into some aids infested slime ball. I just grabbed the bags that were visibly about 90% games. Anyone could of done it.
