You might find one of the ps3 madcatz standard fightsticks for around that price. Heres something you could try. Apparently our local game shops g2k gets sticks in from time to time and when they do they go CHEAP! About 3 months ago our store in abingdon had a TE femme fatal stick there, its a $300 to $400 stick and they only priced it at $29. I kick myself alot for not getting it but i wasnt playing any fighters at the time. I would call all the g2k games in the area and check with them on sticks.

The Madcatz alpha that fr0zen has retails at 75, so if you can find it at a game store or order through amazon that'll be what you pay. It's a solid little stick and the way they shaped the body of it is comfortable, which is saying a lot from me because I have huge hands.

Found a 12-pack of these plastic cases at K-Mart of all places for $5.00! They work great for loose Saturn games or just to replace a cracked or broken case. I'd say pick a pack up if you see some, def comes in handy in our hobby.

Those cases are nice, i even think you can snatch packs like that from the dollar store. Im in desperate need of blank genesis cases lol. I found a few auctions online for 5 or 6 cases for about $25 which comes out to about $5 each. Im debating on it but i dont know where else to get them cheaper. When it comes to loose games i wouldnt mind very much but i managed to snag a copy of chiki chiki boys and an american repo made cart of pulseman. These are two games i def want cases for, chiki chiki boys is ready but i gotta make a custom case for pulseman to match the cart.

For some reason, there are more and more flea market sellers giving up game selling, they might have some on hand if we catch em at the right time.

I've noticed that too. I dont think alot of these people know how to truly price games instead they go straight to ebay and compare it to the highest buy it now. If you dont sell your games you dont make money, its that simple so they get out of the business of it. I honestly think dragon lady isnt gonna last much longer at the flea market.

LOL, I have no idea what her deal is. It's like she goes to eBay, looks up the Highest Price + Shipping, and there ya go. Maybe even tack on a few dollars and DO NOT BUDGE. Why??

What I don't understand about people that price by ebay trend is why they don't add ebay to their selling tools as well. It truly baffles me.
If you want to price at ebay prices go for it but once you see that the game is just sitting in your store for a month PUT IT ON EBAY.
It blows my mind how some will leave something sitting in their store for an eternity on the prospect of what they "could" make.

The only time I haven't budged on a price is when I had a flea market stall and this dude got right in my face and yelled at me to take $2 instead of $4 on a PS2 game I had paid $17 for. And usually I would at have at least considered $3, but it pissed me off and I would not budge, and he ended up buying it, lmao. And he was totally nice only after I yelled back at him, I'm not sure what happened there, but it's funny in hindsight.

Now thats another grip i have is asshole buyers out there. If i walk into 2 dudes and i notice they have idk ducktales 2 for sale for like $75. Thats a great price for it. You have assholes out there though that'll be like yo ill give $40 on it and their serious. Ummm no, first off dont insult the price on it and second where did it come into effect that you domand they take your price offer? If i ran a store and this shit happened thats when their ass is gone in a second flat.

I don't ask them for any kind of discount unless I'm spending $60 or more dollars and that's not very often. Probably why they do occasionally throw me a bone. I'm not always questioning their pricing. Well...maybe on a few things *cough, SYD of Valis box* but I always keep it to myself, lol.

Some sellers are scared of their customers, though. One of the other flea market vendors came over to me and told me I should have gone down, and I probably looked at him like he walked off the moon or something, lol. I was like, hey, I got my price, didn't? My booth, my prices. He just shook his head at me and walked away, lol. But seriously, you gotta own your little piece of the market, ya know? You can't just let people walk all over you.

I wear a low cut shirt when I'm shopping for deals and want a discount. It works and I'm not sorry that those guys are sad enough that it does.
