I read your post the day before yesterday and thought to myself that I have never seen a Saturn in the wild. I was driving home and decided to go into a local thrift store and look around. At first I wasn't even gonna stop because I never find anything in that place even gaming related. I said what the hell I'm not doing anything so I might as well look around. Low and behold, I spot a freakin Saturn hidden under a mountain of junk on the shelf. Just the edge of it was peaking out and because of your photo I knew what it was immediately because it was so fresh in my mind. It even had a mint condition game inside of it. Paid a total of $11 for it.

Is it me or does the Famicom controllers looks tiny?

You right I don't know you personally but you seem to believe your friends will regret life when they are older because they did not follow in your footsteps. When you live your life around your retirement fund, you may as well retire now. You can’t make a mark on the world if you’re too cheap to live in it. Refusing to give yourself the luxury of enjoying your money negates the whole point of making it. You might actually regret the experiences you didn’t take, the people you didn’t meet and the fun you didn’t have because you were too worried about a future that came and went or worse, never even comes. You don't have to agree with me, but try looking at from a different perspective.

I would say that your friends will be the ones laughing at you because they chose to enjoy life while they were young and in their prime. They will have memories, a fulfilled life, and nothing in common with you.

Those probably ranked 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, and 56...

I'm not sure how with those prices.

I thought the did an excellent job. Two thumbs up

I feel bad for the games because most of them will never get played.

Tecmo Super Bowl (NES) Super Nova (SNES) Disney's Goof Troop (SNES)

That sucks. Where's the rest of the arcade?

Bwahahahaha...I'm not sure how they stay in business with some of those prices. You can get most of that stuff cheaper on eBay with no sales tax.

Wow! Accusing me of not paying for items. I always pay my bills if I accidentally win the items. Give me a break about hurting less fortunate. Its freakin resellers bidding most of those auctions up to insane prices. How do I know this? Because I talk to them when I pickup my items. Most of them own thrift stores or mom/pop shops around my area. You do realize if you don't pay for your items that you will get banned from the site indefinitely.

Too bad for me because I refuse to shop at Toys R Us, so my money will stay in my pocket for now.

I wonder if what I do is as bad as a shill bidder. I don't do this on eBay but I do push prices up on the Goodwill auction site for items in my area. If I can't get the shit I want for cheap I won't let anyone else get the shit they want for cheap. Bwahahahaha

+1

Another strawman argument.

Your logical fallacy is strawman.

If a crooked label irks you that much, you would probably puke if you saw the condition of my cartridges.

I understood the posters point. Forget the $11 or $20. The point is that you end up paying more in the end due to shill bidding.

I'm not talking about the keys. Luck of the draw.

That is actually good new that you passed on it. It seems that most of the stuff at Goodwill is donated because it doesn't work.

I never bid on eBay items for this exact reason. Buy it Now for the win!

I don't think 20 years ago they were really worth anything, so you didn't miss out on anything if your intention was to flip it back then.

Checking eBay price they don't appear to be any more valuable than the other versions. Average price around $35 w/ free shipping. After shipping costs and eBay fees, seller might make a whole $15-20 on each system and that doesn't include deducting the original cost paid for the system. Not really worth the effort of taking pictures, listing it, packing for shipment, and gas to the post office if you ask me.
