GW - $.99. Majority of people I play with are strictly card players, esp. euchere, so this fits well.

And finally on this trip, TTR at GW for $3.99. Again, box open but contents still in shrink. Will use as gift or sell (my wife prefers TTR-E).

Great shape, missing two dice (easily replaced) and 1 - 100 chip although there is extra 50's and 10's so that shouldn't effect play. $3.

Picked this up at the local used game store for $8. Bonus points for the updated rules as well as a General magazine and some other stuff as well that may or may not go with this game.

Booyah! $2.17 at Goodwill. Haven't inventoried yet, and the box has serious scuffage issues, but for 2 bucks, always worth getting. Had to dig through the bins to find this one.

Found this for $2.98... Looks mostly complete... Interesting that the box states that there are 4 Hobbit pawns in the game when there are actually 6... 2 of the 3 packs of cards were still in cellophane... And all the bits were in ziploc baggies...
It's the Fantasy Flight version...

$2 at a church rummage sale. Mostly unpunched. Looks complete. I'll double-check later but I'm pretty sure it is.
Is this worth anything?

Car Wars Deluxe Edition: some use with what looks like all the counters, maybe a third not cut out yet, all the maps and tables, and rip in one of the box lid corners.
I already have a copy, along with much more Car Wars stuff, so if anyone's interested in a trade ...
$4 at Value Village, but the box also contained ...

Inside Moves, by Parker Brothers 1985 - box is a bit beat up, but it's complete and doesn't appear to have been played much. Very late-70s.
$1.99 at the Salvation Army.

I haven't bothered to pick this up the last few times, but this one was in really nice shape, even the box. Should have no trouble getting more than my $1.81 back on eBay. Found at Sunshine Resale.

Ditto for this Balderdash. No split corners on the box... used my keys to make sure it was all there. The paper pads are full, and even has the Games Gang catalog. Should return more than $1.21 on eBay.
Found at Value World.

Just picked up an old copy of Squatter for A$4 at a local Good Sammy's. Beats the $39.95 I almost bought it for at Australian Geographic yesterday. As complete as I'm willing to check (I'm not counting 180 sheep tokens) and in good condition.

More than I like to pay, but the box was in excellent shape and the pieces were still sealed in their bags.

With the implementation of thumbs-up/down for items, this opens new possibilities. We could each for instance give an UP to items we especially like and DOWN for those we despise, with the option to stay neutral of course. This way, a public "Find of the Week" could be distilled at the week's end.
Please post other ideas here and discuss.
PS, of course Brad's (Windopaene's) "The Thrift Find of the Week" will remain the most highly coveted award to aim for.
