"Yes I do. It's blah blah and comes with blah blah."
"Oh my god, I can't believe you have one, and that's a really good price. I live 50 minutes away, would you be able to hold it for a few days?"
"Sorry, I don't do holds for that long but this isn't a big Sega community. You'd probably be safe waiting a few days."
"You know what, I'm just going to come get it. I've been looking so long."
"Ok, we'll see you later."
Time passes.
A guy walks in.
"Hi, I'm the Sega CD nut. Can I see the unit?"
I show him the unit.
"Oh man, I should have realized...it doesn't include a Genesis?"
"No, a Genesis would be separate. I told you on the phone what it came with."
"Oh man. I'm going to have to rethink this. It's no good without a Genesis."
...
I try to reason with him, that genesis are a dime a dozen, and if he's really wanted a Sega CD, here it is. You already drove all this way. Tell you what, I'll knock 1/3 off the price of a Genesis, or you can get the Sega CD now and pick up a Genesis later as the Sega CD is the hard part to get.
"Well, I only have half a tank of gas, I don't want find myself stranded..."
So dude made a two hour round trip for nothing. "I may be back on Friday when I get paid to get both systems."
I hate this place.
I'm putting the Sega CD in the back and telling people it sold. I'll put it out again in a month for $20 more.
Fucking losers.
