So the moral of the story is you started shopping on the wrong end of the flea market. You'll know next time.

is $12 supposed to be a bad price for LTTP? Sounds ok to me, paid that for it on ebay like 10 years ago. I get paid that much for 45 minutes' work at my job. No big deal.

There's definitely a language gap. It kind of falls apart toward the end where he gets particularly upset but basically he wanted to get $6 in trade for Super Fire Pro and he feels like the reseller was fucking with him.

Meanwhile some old dude found Rune Saber somewhere else at the same market for $15.

I can see how this would be frustrating but you gotta take the bad hunts eith the good.

Oh yeah. Many many times.

But there are also people here who don't hunt, just buy on eBay for whatever price they can get when they want something. Driving the market.

Colecionists aren't bad people, is just the ones who just bought games and are naive to pay butt-rape prices and are just posers.

>You guys derailing the thread just because OP mispells the word colecionist

I think think there is a huge correlation between hating people who sell games and how much of a poorfag you are. $5 ain't shit for any game worth playing.

I wanted a Ghost Manor single ender that was at my local game store but didn't want to pay the $5 it was marked so I waited for the girl who likes me to be working and got it for 50 cents... And a 3DO controller for $1.50

Of course they're really mainly for my colleccionism

>New Reseller sets up wares at local flea market
>He brags openly about all the games that he's selling and how he picked them up at an estate sale for a few dollars
>Ask about Castlevania 4
>He says $45
>Not gonna happen
>Ask about Kirby Super Star
>He says $55
>Not gonna happen
>Ask about Sunset Riders
>He thinks for a minute and says $15.
>Shrug and say "little more than eBay, but I really want it."
>He tells me he's lowering the price from $25 for me
>Sure, man
>Hand over money, and then buy a $3 Mortal Kombat just to cover my tracks

Go back a few weeks later

>He approaches me as I look over the Genesis
>"You aren't welcome here. You really fucked me on that Sunset Riders. I lost like $50 bucks on that deal."
>Politely explain to him that I paid him what he asked for it, and that I wasn't going to argue with a bargain
>He calls me "a piece of shit."
>I point to Kirby and say "$25." I point to Castlevania and say "$30."
>Tell him charging 50% more than eBay makes him a scumbag, and that I'm glad I caught him on it
>Tells me to leave
>Laugh in his face

This story gets better

>Walking around the garage sale area and see him talking to some guy who has a box of SNES games
>Walk right up to the guy and tell him that this guy is a lying jerk and will try to give you 1/10th the value of your games, and if he doesn't believe me I'd be happy to let him look up some prices on my phone
>Reseller guy threatens to kick my ass
>Tell him that I'd beat him to death if he even touched me
>Nice man with box tells reseller guy that he's going to "do research on the games."
>Reseller freaks out and storms away
>Nice man tells me I can have the box for $50 because I saved him from being cheated. The reseller was offering him $25.
>See the first game is the All-Star Mario/Mario world combo
>Give the guy $75 instead- the box was worth like $150-200, but he said the games should have a good home

Best day of my hunting life

He went to a flea market and started crying because the games were too expensive, or something like that.

God, I would love to steal some shit from the Pawn Stars place just to do it.

I get the feeling those dudes would shoot me dead, though.
