I get stuff for free all the time. A friend of mines aunty runs the local charity shop and because they cannot sell un-tested electrical goods (Consoles) or anything they can't test because of this fact (Games) she bags them up and gives them to me.

Is Super Mario All-Stars worth $10+(S/H) on eBay?

Yeah, assuming shipping isn't too high. Even $25 total is an awesome value for all the games in SMAS.

The Local WH Smiths over here are selling off their PS2 Slims for £40. I grabbed one as a spare as I thought it was a fairly nifty price for a brand new sealed unit.....

I was picking up a PS3 for my brother during a "no tax" sale. I was also picking up Dragon Quest: Swords (Wii) for myself. As it turns out, the clerk removed the tax twice, impressed how the no tax sale got me the game for free. I even asked her, "is that right?", so she had pleanty opportunity to demonstrate her knowledge of math.

Alas, free Dragon Quest: Swords for me. :)
