Missed Opportunities

[shallowgamer]

Probably mentioned this before but..

1996, brand new virtual boys were being cleared out at Walmart for 30 bucks. Passed.

Around 1997. Snatcher for SegaCD. Complete. 10 bucks. The guy even let me play it. I decided it was lame and passed.

A few years later, Boxed Jungle Green N64 w/ DK 64 pack in AND memory expansion. 30 bucks. Passed, then went back next day for it, but it was gone of course.

Can't think of anything in recent memory that I've passed on. Which means that either there's not a lot of good deals around, or I buy way too much shit. Probably leaning toward the latter..

Let me tell you about this girl I met in New York..........

Missed opportunity.

I've also had countless times where I'll see a game a bunch of times and not want it...then later when I do want it I have to scour the city to find it.

Same thing happened to me with my local pawn shop. They had literally dozens of copies of Nightshade, I go back the next week to get one after looking at it online and they're all gone. I still haven't gotten a copy either.

I'm guessing he has an ATM use only card.

No, the store doesn't have the machines to do, they take cash only.

Ouch, I'm glad my goodwill takes Debit, it's saved my ass on quite a few nice finds.

My good will sucks....found a game gear...nice looking....50$...not a missed opportunity but a DAMN good thing I can get one else where for 10$ if need be.

In 2007 Walmart had Gameboy Micros for $30. I passed it up and got a 360 instead, not too upset though.
Last November I passed up a $20 NES at Goodwill complete with 2 games, 2 controllers and an orange lightgun. It wasn't too bad though, because I found another good deal on an NES at Salvation Army 4 months later that I bought.

you know I passed on getting a few spare Micro's for around $20 a piece new at Wal-Mart back then and I still regret it as I actually loved the little thing.
