All I'm going to say is this: Change the name back Hobie, please. It sounds awkward, childish and feeds on whatever argument I missed a good chunk of. It wasn't my change so I'm not going to undo it, but it makes me sad that in the time I've been so spotty on RB thanks to the restructuring and changes my life has been going through this place is starting to turn into a generic forum closer to GameFaqs or IGN and dare I say comment threads on Kotaku or Destructoid than the close knit and supportive family I knew during my last truly active period on the site.
If anyone on here seems to be pissed or ticked at the quality, quantity or rarity and condition of someone's finds then shut up and deal with it. A zinger or two for fun is fine, but seriously you guys have begun to sadden me in ways I couldn't have imagined when I last truly browsed the boards. If I buy something for $2 be it a Mario/Duck Hunt cart or a gold Nintendo World Championships cart the value is proportionate to the owner who wrote said post. Maybe I'm really proud to have found my super common cheapo cart in the wild in good shape as it may be difficult to obtain in my area, or maybe I just forgot all about said game and loved it more than any other as a kid. But no matter what digs and funny jabs aside I haven't actually gone as far as to complain about someone being proud or happy about simply finding something that can give them a modicum of happiness or enjoyment in their lives and for that I'm both disappointed and saddened with the way this community is changing and evolving.
This thread started with a simple message and I hope you people stick to it:

This is the topic you will put your finds in. If you received a gaming-related item and were thinking about posting a topic, STOP AND POST IT HERE.
So, with input from other racketboy members, we can make this an interesting thread. I love what other people find at flea markets, garage/yard sales, and pawn shops, but we have to consolidate these posts to reduce clutter.
Posting is simple... all you have to do is tell everyone what you got, where you got it, and how much you paid for the items. Pictures aren't necessary, but sure are a bonus.
