Aw damn that is too bad.

I don't go to BBG anymore really, I usually just go to either of Level 7 Games' locations.


I've actually never been to Level 7.

I've driven past the Alameda location dozens of times, but every time I've been too busy with work to stop.

Clearly I need to get my priorities in order. :wink:

Any particular reason you stopped going to BB?


I just found the people at L7 to be more pleasant, and the prices on some things were a bit better. The Sheridan location in particular usually has a really good selection of items. They just got in an Odyssey 2 with a load of boxed games the other day.

The location on Alemeda isn't quite as good, but for whatever reason they have a lot more Genesis games as a general rule.

Posted some stuff on Craigslist that I've been trying to sell here and of course the "competition" as I like to call him, responded to my ad.

That doesn't really piss me off or anything, it just figures. haha I would like to sell it at a reasonable price or trade it evenly, not get less than half of what it goes for on ebay so he can resell it. So I'm debating if I should respond to his email. He might have some good stuff to trade, but like I said, I wouldn't get much for it from him. Not that I'm asking for a lot to begin with.

I live in an apartment complex, and oftentimes people hit the terrifically loud doorbell buzzers randomly in the lobby to be let in because they've lost their keys, are too drunk to open the door, etcetera.

So today some idiot hits our buzzer, and then proceeds to lean on it, for a full minute at 6:00 this morning.

Rage. I mean, seriously. Who does that?

When I lived in an apartment like that there was a camera at the entry so when that happened I would wait until they would start to walk away and then hit the button to unlock the door and watch them scramble to the door only to let get go as they got to the door.

Lazy dicks how does anyone leave without keys?

:shock: What year is the car? California has a maximum charge limit to repair older vehicles for smog controls. Wrecking Yard and a friend that can weld could be another option.
