You didn't buy it off a crackhead by any chance? The only way I can see someone parting with'em for so little, you jammy, jammy sod. Very snazzy find.

On the other side of things, you'll get a guy or gal at a sale, who will have read some article in passing, on a certain game selling a certain price, assume because what they
have will achieve a similar price because of its popularity, who will have never even so much as picked up a joystick in his entire run on the ungodly earth, and still they will
argue with you until they're blue in the face, that Guitar Hero II, is in fact, worth the
sixty euro markup they've placed on it.

:lol:

That's that 15% that overprice it, of course. I've seen it before, and I'm sure I'll see it again.

It turns out to be a box of boxed Shantaes, Megaman V's, and Kid Draculas. "I only ever played them on Sundays..."
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?
