I was at a local hole in the wall that I sometimes frequent and picked up some Intendo tapes for resale.
The way this guy does shit is that everything is one price. Nes and Snes games are all $5 . He will usually hook me up and sell me stuff for $3 a pop if I buy a few things. He tends to save to better stuff for eBay, but every once in a while some decent stuff slips through.
So I gather these:
and he says. "ah, give me $25."
"Cool", I say.
"I've got some rarer stuff in a box in the back. You want to take a look at it?"
"Of course I do!"
So he disappears into the back and comes out with a small box. His "rare" stuff is shit like Kid Niki, Bayou Billy, Disney Magical Kingdom. Mostly shit that isn't rare at all.
But there were a few good titles in there. I pulled these out:
and asked what he would want for them. I was hoping for an average of $8 a pop at most.
"$20"
I nearly shit myself.
I'd put it in the haul thread, but I'm not keeping them. Just had a nice deal I wanted to brag about.
edit: There are some titles people may scratch their heads about. Duck Hunt for instance. Last week I had a guy trade in a lot of empty nes boxes. They had everything in them but the games. Duck Hunt was one of them, and I didn't have a loose cart to throw in it. Now I do.
