My hubby just brought home a bag full of his old nintendo games that his mom found at her house. We were thinking of selling them on ebay. What did you pay for yours?

They were at the goodwill, marked down half price so they were 2-3 dollars each and Super mario 3 will go for more.

Oh ok cool. We have super mario 3. I love that game! I bet it won't be too long before they remake it for the wii.

^My current dilemma. The only decent belt I have left is a red one with studs, which is totally bitchin', but doesn't QUITE work for my whole wardrobe. =/

That's how I found the greatest shoes of my life (to date) for $5.50 on double-clearance. I wore the fuck out of those beauties. ^^
