Man, I wish I could find stuff like that! I'll have to check out Gumtree sometime.

Eh. I buy stuff to flip it all the time. That is where all of my hobby money comes from. No guitar pedals, video games or records for me unless I do. I mostly do it on eBay - the stuff on my BST, trades with friends or craigslist usually goes for less than I bought it for - but if I see Ultima Collection for $.50 on a garage sale and flip it for $20, I have money for more games and the guy who bought it just saved himself $20-40 compared to market value. Sold that one on eBay and he lived three states away, so I don't think he would have been able to get it at the garage sale. I don't see it as dishonest. It's a perfectly normal thing for anyone with any kind of collection to do, and it can result on great deals for both parties.

Can we get a mod in here to remove all this stupid arguing? Who gives a rat's ass about what someone else does with a game they buy, it doesn't matter, and moreover this isn't the thread for this kind of bickering. This is ridiculous.

And a mod was one of the people bickering, too.

How dare you (now i'm going to use the word "never", because i'm 12). I would NEVER do that, because God-forbid, you make a few bucks and get someone an item below ebay's prices. You're horrible. You should be giving that away for the greater-good-of-gaming. Loser.


So I'm a loser because I bought a couple of PS1s to flip 2 months ago? Really? WOW. Didn't know. How idiotic of me.

Oh wait...

It is super silly to tell people they can't sell things that they own, just saying.

I've wanted to get another atomic purple gbc for awhile, I was just looking for the right price. It was my first handhold as a kid so there's nostalgia factor there. It was too bad that my brother thought it would be super funny to dump it in a bucket full of water. (He was a douche, he's pretty okay now though.)

The only bummer is that goodwill decided it would be really cool to just write the price directly on the box. Not quite sure I can do anything without ruining the box. :( But oh well, the screen is in great condition and I'm really happy with it.

Nothing to jump up and down about but many hundreds of hours of play for the price of two happy meals :wink:

Just got Earthbound (cart only) for $2.99 plus tax.


Anyway, I'm putting it up for sale for $78.93. Any takers?
