Idiots that don't know any better and massive profits for reselling $9 Super Mario World carts for a couple bucks short of triple the price.

Is that a 3DS XL in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me? ~ZeroAX

As if discovering Shadbase today wasn't enough to shake my faith in humanity. (Don't google that, unless you thought A Clockwork Orange was a comedy)

I'm guessing that's a shock site. Unfortunately, there are people who legitimately find Shadbase entertaining.

3 Guys 1 Hammer is a legitimate video of a murder using a hammer and a screwdriver. I orignally saw this at school. Yeah... not the best way to start 5th period.

-They also told me that there's a $45 transaction fee for selling games. Eeyup.

-Super Mario Kart (Player's Choice version nonetheless)- $30.

-Greatest Hits and black label versions of FF7 both being sold for $50.

-Disc-only games were being sold with only a 10% off discount

But what tops all of this? Spawn for the SNES, commonly seen as a shovelware game, for $8... and a label that was so torn up you couldn't tell what game it was.

GREAT PRICING GUYS
Sounds like the retro gaming store near me that has ridiculous prices. Like, they sell common NES sports games for $9.99. Funny thing is, this afternoon I actually overhead a GameStop employee tell a customer to go there if they wanted "older stuff"...

Meh it's just rule34 stuff. I don't see what the big deal is. But then again I've seen worse shit then the hammer brothers video happen to a friend of mine at a party in high school so I'm a little numb to say the least.

I did find clock work orange pretty funny too so there's that...

Rape jokes are not "rule 34 stuff." That comic is concentrated depravity.

...my GS said the exact same thing. You don't happen to live in New York state, do you?
