I just bought 3 Atari XE games for $1...just checked them on the web and they're worth $60.

Woot.

Also got a new boxed MS-Dos 5.0, worth $68.75

but sometimes people rip you off or try
i found a PSX for $100 with one memory card one controller all nessesary cords NO GAMES that was the kicker and no screen.
I told the people that i can get a more compact model with a screen for $50 brand new and the one they were selling was all scuffed, and scratched up.
and they called me a lyer and im going to hell for lyin gto them la de da.

Sometimes they try to rip you off, but sometimes they don't know what they're selling. One time I saw a computer being sold for $225. When I took a look and found that it was a 486, I tole them about it, proved how old it was by dates on the board and CDROM drive, and they GAVE the thing to me for free.

Oh my dear god, this is my favorite past time.

Me and my best gamin buddy will leave the house at 5 am with as much money as we can get together, and it'll be a cold day in hell if we don't come home with a new system for 10 bucks.

I have somewhere around 20 systems, some duplicates. I got a boxed dreamcast and snes for 15 dollars the other week. One day...ah yes...I left with about 80 bucks. I came home with the entire trunk and back seat filled with games, comics, systems, random geek crap...wireless headphones that i got for a dollar

Good times, good times... ^^
