I got a 27 inch (projection) TV for $10 that I plan on using in my arcade cabinet I'm building.

Also a 15 inch LCD monitor for $10.

The thought of that thing playing a Metallica record makes me laugh.

I had a good deal today which also turned out to be a big surprise.

My friend posted on facebook that she was selling an nes with 5 games, a controller, and hookups for $30. Now $30 is an alright deal for an nes with all that, so I told her to bring it into school and I would buy it from her.

So at school today, I gave her the money and out of her handbag she pulled a model 2 nes with a dogbone controller and hookups. The games are common ones which I already have, but who gives a copulate when you get an nes 2 for $30.
rest in peace, Ronnie James Dio! \m/

At least this game has Duran Duran's Rio. The bassline is pretty sick, I'd pay at least $4 to play that. :P

Today I picked up a 1936 Kodak Vigilant Junior Six-20 Film Camera.

Mint condition, in box with manual. Probably never used (has like no damage or use marks or anything.).

Got it for $5.

Managed to get all of my school books for next fall for about $140. This is compared to the last two semesters, wherein I spent about ~$800 and ~$500. I like that I'm trending down, but I know it won't last.
