Video Game "Look what I found"

[J T]

I was also going to mention that Half Price Books had a warehouse sale where everything was $1.00. I bought Myst (a classic) and Cyberia 2: Resurrection for PC, I got some trivia game for a DVD player that turned out to be a lot of fun, and I got Aqua Aqua for PS2. I also got some good CDs and books too. My wife bought a bunch of books and CDs too. I walked back to the car with my arms full, but I only spent $15 total.

I just thought this would be a good story to add...

over the weekend I was at a massive neighborhood yardsale, and I found a wireless NES controller with no price on it. So I go up to the guy who's sale it was. He must've been 90. He had 1 tooth.

Me: What do you want for this?
Old Man: What is it?
Me: It's a controller... for an old video game.
Old Man: How about five bucks?
Me: I'm sorry. That's way more than I'd spend on this. Thanks anyway.

this is where it gets weird...

Old Man: wait! What's it worth to you?
Me: Oh, probably about fifty cents.
Old Man: YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF NERVE! DO YOU KNOW THAT? FIVE AND DIMES ARE A THING OF THE PAST.

and with that, he snatched the controller out of my hand and stormed off.

went to some resale place and found a handful of genesis games, most were either crap or I already had them or both. I snagged Jurassic Park and NBA Jam, both were $2, both were complete. The manuals look like they were brand new, even the contacts were still nice and clean.
not much of a find, but still something I guess.

cuz I didn't want the controller for myself. I just thought it would be a cool item to add to my tradelist. But I didn't want to pay five bucks to have it sit on my tradelist if nobody was interested.
