Childhood Trading Memory's!

Post by emwearz »

Remember when you were a kid and your parents were too tight to buy you new shit all the time, so you hit the streets and traded shit constantly with friends, those were the times!
Remember when you scored big off the kid and there parents found out and made you trade back, Bitch mothers!

Discuss your childhood trading memory's!

I remember I once traded a fat Gameboy with Conkers Pocket Tales with one of the my older brothers friends of a Megadrive with mostly sports games and Collums when I was 10, my brother ended up using it more than me, the asshole planned it I'm sure.

Traded my friend a DS Lite with a broken screen, for 20$ and an N64 with the expansion, pak, and about 10 games including majoras mask, ocarina of time, and Hey you pikachu with all the parts. I can't believe somebody actually bought it, even though he knew it was broken

Pokemon Red ver. (already had blue) for a brand new New Deal skateboard

5 very old Playboys form the late 80's stolen out of my dads stash for a binder full of pokemon cards, this kid had a crapload of holographic cards

I traded a Revised Stasis for a Glasses of Urza. It seemed like the better deal, since Stasis seemed useless to me.

I remember having cleanup days once/twice a year in my town when I was growing up. As kids, we would rummage through the piles looking for the stash of Playboys that were thrown out. Sometimes we got lucky and scored a few Hustler mags.

As for trading memories, I don't remember trading anything except Baseball cards.

I once sold a kid a Holo Blastoise card for $40 dollars.

Damn was his mom pissed at me after that.

Man, I remember how I thought I would make so much money off those. (I was 9)

Now I just have a bunch of shiny cards.
