It can be done on here though...

And I'm pretty sure if the seller has a written email where the buyer says he takes all responsibilities, the buyer would lose the claim...

:oops: indeed...

Slap yourself for not checking the disc for scratches...

I bought it at a CD shop that is famous for having pristine discs...

...but it's also one of those places where the discs are in envelopes behind the counter. Turns out the cashier on duty this evening is a retro game collector, we start shooting the shit, and he forgets to pop the game disc in its case (and I didn't think to look apparently!).

That happened to me when I bought a copy of You Don't Know Jack Volume 2 and there was no disc in the case. But I bought a CIB copy of Street Fighter: The Movie The Game for Sega Saturn (had a disc-only copy already), and it had a Fighting Vipers disc inside the case... and it STILL WORKED!!

Also, Food Lion recently got in stock their store-brand version of those Keebler cookies that ripped off Tagalongs and Thin Mints. And they're only about $2/box.

Pissed off about last night's supposedly "Greatest Event in Television History", which was anything but.

Once again Radio Shack disappoints me. How can they not have any 1.5 Amp 125 Volt fuses of any kind? :x

Why don't they just rename themselves to "Phone, Rechargable AA, and RC cars at Christmas Shack" so I can stop remembering a time when they actually stocked things useful for electronics tinkering. :?

Just order directly from China.

Sometimes you get 5 or more pieces for the same price you would pay here for one.

And that's after shipping...

It takes some time though. Can't have it all...
