Re: Has this ever happened to you?
anything game related around here at goodwill seems to go straight to their auction site where you can overpay. 2 years ago i could make the goodwill rounds and find alot. not so much now. ebay has better deals.
Re: Has this ever happened to you?
A new used game place opened up near my house that is mostly starting off with just the owner's private collection for sale. I thought I saw Air Raid, for the Atari 2600, which last sold for $31,600. I got really excited that he was selling it for $3, but then I realized it was River Raid for the Intellivision.

Or not because we have enough threads with people whining about thrift store prices even though they're a business just like everywhere else.Hazerd wrote:should change topic title to "Screwed over at Thrift Stores thread"

Besides, this is about thinking you've found something über rare and realizing you haven't and other things like that, not about thrift stores overcharging or having lame business practices.Hobie-wan wrote:Or not because we have enough threads with people whining about thrift store prices even though they're a business just like everywhere else.Hazerd wrote:should change topic title to "Screwed over at Thrift Stores thread"

I remember when i got a labelless N64 catridge, i was expenting i don't know goldeneye, mario 64, or mario kart (it was one of the first cartridges i got) so i was really exited too see any mario game. Turn on the old N64 and i what i got was... MK mythologies... damn it! Oh the irony!

Re: Has this ever happened to you?
A couple of years ago before I had my 3D0, I saw a copy of Street Fighter II at the fleamarket.
I knew about this game and I was getting excited, as I opened it to see....... It was empty, a theif got to it!
Went thru the seller's stuff and didnt see anything else! Just Audio CDs
Dammit.
I left all sad!
And now I realize that I should have bought the case as well! Even empty its still probably worth something!
