Is this a good Gamecube pickup?

Went into my local Cash Generators and picked up these bad-boys for 99p each. I only started my Gamecube Collection at Christmas and now have 25 titles thanks to this haul.

I already have Mario Kart so will trade or sell that, and I'm not fussed on Paper Mario after playing it, so will do the same with that. Other than that, I'm enjoying playing through the other games.

Picked up Zelda Wind Waker last week for 49p in there, and again, not really impressed by that!

Was this a good haul?

.... Very jealous right now.

I went in to my local cash generator recently and left swiftly when a man smelling strongly of urine stood next to me in the games section.

If you sold what you got from CG on ebay on you could easily make a good £70/80.

So yes it was a good deal because you bought some of the gamecubes best games.

Off the top of my head you would pay around £110 (£130 adding WW to that) if you were to buy them all from E-bay, so in that respect it's a good haul.

Game play wise, also a good haul as they are really good games.

Do you collect jealously as well? :lol:

Been after a decently pricd Paper Mario for a while now myself, 99p is a steal. As is 49p for Windwaker, Cash Generators must have only given the previous owner about 20p for it!

And there was me thinking I did OK when I got Pikmin 1 & 2 together for £20 a couple of years back! :lol:

Blimey - thought I got a steal when I paid £2.99 for SSBM.

You don't like wind waker and paper mario? Frankly, you don't deserve a Gamecube!!

I keep seeing threads like this and it depresses me. People seem to find such great bargains at their local CC/charity shops/etc, yet all I can find in the ones near where I live are FIFA and Football Manager games.

I mean, Paper Mario, SSB, Luigi's Mansion, MK Double Dash, Wind Waker and Pikmin each for 99p or less?! I dread to think what I paid for only half that lot.

Let me know if you're looking to sell Paper Mario, ive been after that for a while but cant bring myself to spend money on ebay!

Thats a great load there, especially Paper Mario and Pikmin 2 which hare hard to get cheap, plus most of the other games are top top top

"pickups" - I've grown to really hate that word for some reason.

Obviously, and you know it was too before even posting the thread. Your just gloating, which is kinda rude to be honest. In a place where alot of us are unable to find such bargains like these as cash converters and good charity shops are few and far between, would it have been so hard just to stick to the dedicated cash converter thread , or the game pickup thread? Creating a separate thread for a bunch of games that you know was an amazing find, will be a thread to instill jealousy and nothing more.

All your thread has reminded me of is the fact that I live nowhere near a bargain shop, so well done.
