EricDeLee #26 Posted April 4, 2007 I didn't have the cash on me at the time. So, yep, I lucked out. I lost out on a fairly good deal for a TG Duo system, along with roughly 20 games. The guy wanted around $200 for it. So I gave him $20 to HOLD it for me while I went up the street to get cash out of the ATM. When I returned, less then 30 minutes later, he sold it. Then he pointed me to a bunch of scratched crappy PS1 sports games and said "take your pick, sorry about that.". I was PISSED!!!! I also was buying a Nomad from someone at the fleamarket. I actually had the thing in my hand, and asked the guy how much it was. He said $10. I said cool, and reached for my wallet. A guy comes up behind me and took the damn nomad right out of my hand and said I'll give your $15 instead and handed the money to the seller. The seller said ok and I was left there with a stupid look on my face. That one pissed me off too. Then... there was one day I was at the same flea market. A guy was selling a PSone with the LCD screen and a handful of good games. He wanted $40. I decided to pass on it.. even though I wanted one at the time. I walked across the street to the other side and saw a guy selling a Colecovision. I didn't know much about them, but I figured that I'd buy it because it came with a box of games as well (Coleco and Atari games). Alsong with the system, I got the steering wheel, the roller controller, the atari 2600 attachment and a few other things. All of it was for $40 I made out like a bandit on that one! I eventually sold it to a fewllow member here that lived near me. He had a better passion for Coleco than I did. I got a few rare games in that deal as well on the Atari 2600 side. If I remember correctly, I had my Star Wars The Arcade Game, Pitfall2 and River Raid 2 from that lot. Other stuff as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PressureCooker2600 #28 Posted April 5, 2007 I woulda kicked the shit outta the guy in the parking lot. Some spit in the face wouldn't have hurt, either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
