Has this ever happened to you?

Post by Weekend_Warrior »

Earlier tonight, I went to a local record store and sifted through the used video games cause they sometimes get some decent ones in there, when I suddenly came across this game complete in box and almost crapped my pants...

For a split second I thought it was fucking STADIUM EVENTS! :lol:

Are you asking if I've ever thought I've stumbled upon something incredibly valuable or whether or not I've crapped my pants in public? Either way, the answer is yes.

For a split second I once thought a $7 copy of Panzer Dragoon Orta was Panzer Dragoon Saga. I just about shat myself!

Who the fuck puts a $55 game in a bargain bin?

At the retro game store around here, every cartridge game over $10 is under glass.

I've been to a thrift store and had that gut-dropping sensation when I thought I found something great, but it actually wasn't. Last time I was in Salvation Army, I found a copy of a Star Wars Tie Fighter collection, which is rather valuable. Opened it up, and someone had stolen the disc. :x

I hate that shit. Last time I was at Goodwill one (of three) discs was missing from Gabriel Knight 3. And before that I thought I had found a complete copy of Warcraft II, but I checked the disc and it was Sonic Riders.

I'm not sure if things are being stolen or if Goodwill just accepts shit without any examination. I'm leaning towards the latter.

I've talked to the cashiers about it, they say they're being stolen.
