I just started a new job and finally got paid after 2 months (dont ask) so i decided to treat myself. I went into town and into one of those grotty cash-converter shops and piked up this lot:

Boxed Gamecube (Mariokart Double Dash Platinum Pak)
Resident Evil
Resident Evil 2
Resident Evil 3
Terminator 3 Redemption
and last but not least a Mega-CD game called Road Avenger

all for under £60

I dont know much about gamecube collecting so i dont know if this is normal or not but when i came home and looked online the platinum pak gamecube alone was £99

is this normal for gamecube stuff or did i just get lucky?

thanks

Cube stuff is often sold off quite cheaply, It's the sad, harsh reality of being in 3rd place over here :(
But thats still a good deal, however RE2 and 3 are a bit shite as they don't have updated graphics like RE1 does. Nonetheless, they're still good games, if a bit lacking graphically

Road Avenger is fucking badass, congrats. Can be had for a quid & it's worth is more than monetary.
