FLAMING! Quake 3 Arena - $1 @ Dollar Tree

[bacontaco]

Was at the Dollar Tree in Greensburg, PA (just outside Pittsburgh), and found a bin full of Quake 3 Arena in the nice metal boxes for $1 each! Granted, it was the Linux version of the game, but it can easily be converted to the windows version with a download from id's site.

Hopefully this just isn't one of those 'right place, right time' deals, so maybe this deal is available everywhere.

:Q
Cool! I'll check this out!

They had this deal last month,..... Are all Dollar trees besides the TN sold out or did they get new shipment? Anyone know?

 

[Xtasy]

Holy hell! Wow, i'm gonna check this out. Even though I already have it, it can make a good gift.

 

[bonk102]

you never know what you'll find at the dollar store, this is just another point to emphasize that

 

[Analog]

we've got those dollar stores around here, but I though they're just for those junky Chinese made trinkets...

 

[bacontaco]

Yeah, they had a lot of those little crappy knick-knacks and stuff like that. I was shocked to see a computer game in there! I've also seen other PC games in the past at similar stores, but they were either terrible games like those hunting ones, or ten years old and not even worth the dollar. You would be surprised at what you can find at those places.

 

[spanky]

wow

 

[andrzejpw]

good lord! I have to check this out!

 

[Fritzo]

My question is, is there actually anybody on earth that does NOT have a copy of Quake III by now?

 

[sswingle]

Those tin cases were supposed to be a limited edition collectors thing. Amazing there are any left.

The Dollar Tree down here in Palm Bay had a rack full of NEED FOR SPEED III cd's with a matchbox car attached to each one. Not bad for a buck.

I don't have it yet- I'll pay someone for the trouble of shipping me a few, or trade some of my old skool ISA cards, cables and stuff

 

[pinoy]

good deal!! i don't have a copy yet, so i'll try to snag 1 tomorrow. Good thing our Dollar Tree just opened a week ago. Thanx for the info.

...and me...atleast until I get to dollar tree.

 

[GregANDTCH]

Thanks for the heads-up!
I'll have to check it out.

 

[DestruyaUR]

I wonder what stores like EB would pay for metal boxed copies of Q3A - even if it was 5 bucks, you'd still be able to get a LOT of usable credit by hitting up multiple stores

 

[jimmyhaha]

for those who think of buying for resale, u are asking for trouble..

resale value in ebay is like Sh!t

plus sucker weight 2 lbs.. shipping will kill the deal if u want to resale it

I have hard time unloading several copies on ebay and sold all (just even out) to AT member..

 

[pac1085]

Oh well, they didnt have any in the dollar tree in gates NY(rochester) I was prepared to buy the whole bin too just for the hell of it
