Just out of curiosity, why the Core 360? It looks like you bought the HDD anyway.
$100 Amazon deal?

Nice work man. For Wii I would also recommend The Godfather: Blackhand Edition, Trauma Centre: Second Opinion and SSX Blur.
This month I've picked up barely anything, except for the Wii version of Spiderman 3, which is actually pretty solid (largely due to the outstanding swinging controls).
So far I'm in love with it. Even my casual gamer friends love it so much I had to buy a second controller. I also bought a small (compared to the rest of gaf and a few of my friends) hdtv from newegg - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16889112008
but my viewing distance is very small so it's fine by me. I also threw down preorder money on Senko No Ronde. Can't wait for that one.

Imported an elite to the uk should be here tuesday wouldve been tomorrow damn bank holidays. Also picked up a black dsl.
The following is a post of my adventures in Car Boot Sales down here in Australia. I've actually started a blog in which I'm counting how much I'm spending on second hand goods, and how much I'm making back on it. I'd love to receive some feedback on what I've currently been able to obtain as well as.. well, if my writing and blog posts are any good :lol
Usually my updates are purely gaming, but I found some other cool stuff this week.
You can check out the blog at http://carbootgaming.blogspot.com/
Today's Car Booting went pretty well. I was able to get two game items:
A PSOne console, and a GunCon45. The Guncon works fine - and with the Time Crisis I picked up a month or so ago, I can sell them together for mucho profits! Time Crisis didn't age very well either, it's damn ugly.
The PSOne didn't come with any cords - so I went and scurried through my cords to see if I could find a matching set. With all of my multi-inputs not working, I found out that my Laptop's input was the same, so I slapped that in.
Never do this!
After 5 seconds of testing that yes, it turns on, the PSOne started to smell of BURNING CHIP BOARDS. I unplugged it as quickly as possible, opening it up, it now has a nice char mark on the main board. Whoops. I knew the voltage would be way too high, but didn't expect it to nearly combust on me.
I took it down to the local GameTraders [A store which for the most part sell exclusivly second hand games and console, as well as imported games], and got them to plug the console into a real power plug and AV cable. Thankfully, it still works. Only problem is that it still smells like burning plastic - I need to cover that up Plus I need to find cables for my own purposes - GT only sells them for stupidly high prices.
I got both together for 8 bucks. So even if the PSOne dies, it's still a good price for a GunCon.
I also picked up some other non-gaming stuff for keeps at the Car Boot Market - A bunch of DVDs. Poor guy was moving overseas and decided to offload his entire 300+ DVD collection. I picked up each of these [including box sets] for $5 each, a total of $55.
Those Family guy / American Dad box sets are still worth a good $20 on ebay each, so I'll watch the commentaries and sell them off anyway.
And lastly, and bare with me on this..
:lol
I found a Don Karnage - character from an old cartoon called Talespin - plush doll. I bought it purely for selling purposes - and not some freaky furry-related stuff :lol . You don't see much merchendise for the old Saturday Morning cartoons, even when they were around. And something which is considered 'obscure' now within the Disney Dome, you just never ever see. For a buck, you really can't go wrong, and I feel I can probably rake in a bit of cash from this thing. I've seen Sally Acorn Dolls [Character from an old Sonic Cartoon, released only in SEGA World Sydney] go for a ton of money, who knows how this will go.
He looks like a Crash Bandicoot character :lol

High five Rlan for getting Crash 3
Powerslave said:
Thanks, it's the final puzzle of my Crash PSX platformers collection. Since I didn't care much for the PSX when it came out, I missed out on a lot of games. I loved Crash and some Spyro on friends systems, but never finished them. I'll get around to them sometimes - I'm playing Crash 2 on my PSP currently via emulation.
As for the other bits and pieces I got:
Today's adventure started at the Salvo's, where I picked up Sim Life for $2.25AU. Even if I'm wrong [which it looks like I am], I've only wasted 2 bucks. It's all there with a big bloody manual, and also has Sim Ant too.
Then to the Cashies, where I picked up the rest. The PSOne cords - to go along with the PSOne mentioned before - were 10 bucks. The rest - Crash 3, Mega Man: Wily Wars, Gunstar Heroes, Quackshot/Battletoads double pack, and Smurfs were $7 each. I probably could have gotten them cheaper had I asked the guy who does some discounts for me, I could have gotten them a bit cheaper. But ah well, no need to argue, a dollar is a dollar, and for these items I should make my money back anyhow.
Crash 3 is for my own use - the final piece of my PSX Crash platformer collection.
The Quackshot / Battletoads collection is pretty weird since they're so unrelated to each other - I've seen a Quackshot / Castle of Illusion set before, and at least that made sense. It includes the VHS-Esque case [with cart clips] and the manuals. Looks nearly brand new! These collections were only done in Australia, so I might get a bit for it.
Gunstar Heroes - boxed, complete, like new. This fella tends to get $35-ish Aussie Dollars, maybe more due to the condition. I own it on the Virtual Console. I might wait a while before I sell it though.
Mega Man: The Wily Wars - Hard as nails to get, or so I hear. There is a copy by some German dude on ebay who wants $125AU for a complete copy. Hopefully I can get a good number for this excellent find. Reminds me when I actually found a copy of Megaman X3 PAL Saturn in the same Cashies - I swapped that gold mine for a lot of other overseas gaming stuff I was looking for at the time
Smurfs, eh, I wasn't sure if it was the same as "Smurfs Travel the World", which I sold recently. It's not, and not worth as much. Ah well.
I'll put the total cost - plus the profit I've made from other stuff I've put on my blog - up at http://carbootgaming.blogspot.com soonish.
VOOK - Look around and see if there are any Car Boot Sales in your area - check the paper under Garage sales on Saturday, for any Sunday boot sales - they might show up.
Your Cashies might not have any classic stuff because they don't see it as sellable. Hell, the amount of Daytona USA and VF1 Saturn copies in mine is rediculous, really. The people who DO get them are Game Traders, and they know the damn worth of the games, and add 20 dollars on top [mine has a Chrono trigger US version for, like, $150AU, yuck]

That picture looks so colourful, I love it.
Hmm, it seems you have a lot of Platinum games. I totally couldn't do that. Always on the lookout for originals with black borders and non-silver discs.
But the Spyro and Crash games are some amazing platformers ain't it? They don't get much love these days unfortunately.
No game purchases recently, but I bought my first anime DVD set in years(GitS:SAC Season 1), and it's off to a pretty solid start. Am actually hoping the upcoming movie is released on Blu-Ray, which would be the first disc I probably buy on the format.
C&C3 360 this week, and then Odin Sphere, Etrian Odyssey, and Tomb Raider later in the month for me.
