Anyone have any gamecube game duplicates they are willing to sell to a poor gamer? *sniff*

Heh, the ZOE2 was for B'z. I bought ZOE2 on release date.
Sadly, though, I only grabbed one copy of GX (for myself). If I had known there would be a demand for it, I could have grabbed one of the other two.
Ha ha, I should have guessed that people would want some of those.
Seriously, to avoid any disappointment, I'm not looking to get rid of any of those. I had two copies of Disgaea before I even posted about them, but I sold them to a couple people (who wanted them). Other than that, I didn't buy any additional titles for trading/selling purposes (though I kept an eye out for some requests). The list just ended up getting much larger than expected.

This was the most worthless sale ever. By monday (6 days before the official sale) there were 4 games at the CC's that I checked that were on the list. Okage, NFL QB Club 2002, Harvest Moon PS2 (1 copy and the only decent game, and some crap game I had never heard of. I mean talk about shit.

I can't wait to see the NPD numbers for some of these games this month.
I'm still pretty bummed out that I couldn't get a copy of Disgaea...
EliteHebrew - check your PMs.

I think so too. My conversation with some of them:
Employee1: So can I see that list of $5 games you have?
Me: No
Employee1: Why not?
Me: Because this place has already been picked over and if you guys get restocked I don't want you hogging all the games for yourselves. You already get first dibs and an employee discount. Do the work yourselves.
Employee2: Where did you find out about the sale? On the internet?
Me: Yes
Employee2: What site?
Me: I'm not telling you, because once again you guys will just hog everything up when the next deal rolls around.
So then they started to scan just about everything and if it was $5 and good they started pulling copies and putting them under the counter.

I seriously hate news like this. I mean, is there even a Circuit City anywhere in America that even has 25% of all the games listed? Here in NYC, I think we have like 0.002%

They had many at mine on Saturday, before the list broke on a massive scale and before it had half of the games on it that I later found out about. It especially pains me because I specifically picked up several games that later ended up being on the list, thought "hmm, I should really bring this up and have them scan it just to check..." and put them back on the shelf. Blargh. I wanted my $5 Ghoulies and Lunar Legend - they had like 10 of them.

There WAS!
When I hit my CC on Saturday night, nobody around here knew anything about the sale and I found far too many games for me to buy. I'd say that my CC had at least 50-60% of everything on that list, if not more! I guess, really, the ONLY games that I wanted that I could not find were Wave Race BS, Dynasty Warriors 4, Gitaroo Man, & Dead or Alive 3. Everything was a piece of cake to find on Saturday night and Sunday morning. On the flipside, the selection has been reduced to virtually nothing at this point. If you didn't take advantage of the sale right away...you missed out.
Well just hit up Circuit City again today. Slim pickens now. I was able to get 17 games and when I was checking out I mentioned to the salesman that I was disappointed because they didn't have a couple games I wanted and he told me Best Buy would price match it, and when Best Buy calls to check if they have it in stock they usually lie. Ha...I love CC.
Anyway, I headed over to Best Buy and was able to find a copy of Disgaea and a couple of other games.

I went to six stores in the San Diego area yesterday, and the only thing I came home with was Pikmin. :/

that's a great fucking idea...
Well i hope i dont get those type of problems but we'll see. I just want to pick up something at least maybe the might have a copy of MK DA for a penny to make up for it. I really wouldnt mind if they had a few games i actualy want for once, but Fongul said they were wiped out.

while i was looking in the sale bin, some fat dood with glasses came storming in the store and went straight to the GC games, his sister, or girlfriend was like, arent you gona look at the ps2 games? and he said: no thats crap, i need PSO, then he went to the GC area and was lookin frantically through the games. behind every game.. o man it was hilarious, and then i walked by and said "its cleaned out"
o well

HAHA MOTHER FUCKING CIRCUIT CITY MOTHER FUCKERS!!!!!
There was a terrential down pour on my way home so I stopped by CC to get out of the rain to see if they had anything left. There were no employees behind the counter so I went around back and low and behold... 1 copy of MGS2:S and 2 copies of Disgaea along with about 2 dozen really good games (Viewtiful Joe, Dynasty Warriors 4, Pikmin, etc, etc... basically every good game on the list and multiple copies of several of them. There were 7 Viewtiful Joes!!! Too bad I already owned them all). There was a note attached that read "hold for Nick, will pay Friday". Now, I recall that this Nick was one of the employees that was snatching up the good shit left and right on Saturday and when I asked him then if they had Disgaea he said they didn't. So I said fuck it. I snagged MGS2S and Disgaea (1 copy), took them up front, and bought them. Fuck you Nick! You selfish pig. First come first serve. If you don't have the money to pay for it oh well. Get in back of the line.
I'm so glad I didn't tell him about CAG. He'd ruin every deal from now on.

Shoot, come to think of it what I should have done is put them all back on the shelf so that other people could have a chance at them.

I have a huge list of games that I want from this deal but my fate is completely in the hands of my mom in the states. I hope at least they have 1/4 of the games on my list.

To the people saying CC has been picked clean,
I've phoned over a half dozen CCs in the LA area and every one states that the sale starts on 7/11 so odds are the games have been pulled till then. There's a pretty good chance that come Sunday, there should be a decent selection to pick from. Just get there early or chances are you'll miss out (again).
Oh and good job JC. I would've been a bigger prick though
