Greed sucks

Today I had to pay $24 just because I wanted a new R-Zone game. Can you believe that? 24 bucks! Why do people jack up the prices so much when eBay is the only place you can go for it? If there was one thing I could eliminate on earth it would be greed. Then prices would be normal again. Come to think of it, there would be no more jihad, no more terrorism. The only thing that terrorism is is al-Qaida saying "my god's better than yours." Then they wouldn't have to show how their god is better by blowing up our stuff. They wouldn't have to conquer our land because there would be no reason to since there's no greed any more. Greed is stupid. And now I'm going to have to open the sealed game in order to play it. How much did R-Zone games go when they were in stores? Shouldn't the price come down significantly since now people realized it's a crappy system? Or is it a rarity thing? Yeah, I never saw an R-Zone in a store between 1995-7. I saw Virtual Boys being advertised in Babbage's store, but no R-Zones. But that doesn't really make sense since the US version of Jack Bros. is insane prices while games like Red Alarm are sane. Hopefully I can figure out how to play this one. I got Star Wars: Jedi Adventure, because it was the lowest priced one. I wonder why I haven't seen a game.com or R-Zone at the used video game store I go to. I wonder because it's the same place I got my Virtual Boy and Lynx.

The price of an item is equal to what one person is willing to buy it for & another is willing to sell it for. As you purchased the game for $24, the price of the game is $24. If you felt it was too much you could have decided not to buy it.

oh the irony of this blog post.

 

greed: a selfish and excessive desire for more of something (ala R Zone games)

 

it's safe to say almost every gamer, every collector, is greedy.
