You realize you sent me a complete GameCube copy of that game not three months ago.
Well yeah, but that was back when it sucked.

They were priced at $15 each, but I persuaded the clerk to lower them to $5 by convincing him that they were 'old floppy disks' that 'require special hardware' and that they would never sell for $15 each.
i could see if the games were marked at 150 dollars a pop. but, it is 15 dollars...for a brand new game retro game. also, he told the guy they wouldn't sell. LIES!!! i guarantee if he wouldn't have bought those somebody else would have 5 minutes later.

if you are gonna do stuff like that, at least keep it to yourself.
Well, I guess you all are better people than I am. That's ok...

There's nothing wrong with not knowing the price of everything. But if you don't know, then don't sell it for 1/3 the price, but stick to what's on the price tag. Come on, how hard can it be...

I would not go 'oh well'. I would go 'you fucking idiot, why did you sell it for 1/3 of what I was asking for!? Why the fuck do you think I asked 15 bucks for it in the first place, retard!...'

So yeah, there you have it...

As for the 'ooh, I would never do that' argument. Heard it a lot, seen the opposite even more. I just don't buy into that 'I'm an angel' stuff anymore. He who is without sin my friend, he who is without sin...

You traded the Gamecube version of a game for the version on the inferior PS2? For shame. :lol: ...Actually, I'm serious; why would you do that?

Oh so it is ok if you're confusing and conning someone else, but if it happens to you it sucks. Got it.

It's not good enough that he has the highest post count on Racketboy. He is also shooting for the biggest PS2 collection now.

I just wouldn't let anyone watch and sell my stuff for me. And if I did, I would make damn sure they sell it for what I'm asking for. Why do you have to be so stubborn?... Please don't act like you've got me all figured out...
