Yup, we've gone a few times since I moved here. That's been precisely my experience, and what I put as their online review. Cheaper, more popular games are ridiculously priced but some of the more rare games seem reasonable.Jmustang1968 wrote:Yeah it can be really hit or miss. Normally you have to hope they mislabeled something to get a good deal. some of the higher end stuff can often be priced near online as well. Whereas cheaper stuff and mario/zelda stuff is ofte very inflated.
I found a Contra Force for $50 at one and Hobie grabbed a rare GB manual for $1. I also picked up a model 1 sega cd for $50 which I liked as there is a potential for damage in shipping with that one. No steals, but at least reasonable prices.

My daughter is also a "daddy's girl", but when the chips are down, the one she needs - and the one she emulates - is mama.KitKatCara wrote: Another D'awww:
Last night she woke up and asked for her Daddy, and he was at work. She came into the living room, took his blanket, and went back to bed with it and slept the rest of the night. She is starting to turn into a Daddy's girl. Not too sure how I feel about that. XD

No crap for bike repairs. That's helpful for job things. Don't make your bike flashy so it isn't appealing to thieves and have a way to secure it. U locks are mostly useless as you can defeat them with a pen. Braided cables are the best defense I believe as they're more annoying to cut.

Agreed. Also, you should be sure to run the lock through both wheels and the frame.Hobie-wan wrote:No crap for bike repairs. That's helpful for job things.

Yeah, a lot of times security is just about hassle. If there are tons of bikes to steal that are easier to get than yours, they'll get those instead.prfsnl_gmr wrote:Agreed.

I remember back in college one of my buddies never locked his bike. I discovered this one day when we came out of class together and his bike was unsecured. I told him someone would steal his bike if he kept doing that.
The next day he discovered his bike up in a tree and purchased a lock. And no, it wasn't me.

I always found it funny when I would find front tires only locked to bike racks at school. Thieves would come along and unscrew the wheel and take the rest of the bike.
