So you know I have a game buying problem right? Well I'm at it again.
On craigslist, I found a guy with a picture of just a table full of... game stuff. Nothing definitive, all of it trashed and dirty, but I was intrigued. He asked for 60, i gave him 50. And I walked away with a complete Dreamcast with a game, a complete SNES with a game, 5-6 sports N64 games, 10 off brand gcube, dreamcast, and ps2 controllers, and about a dozen memory cards from ps2 dreamcast ps1 ds etc. And then a gamestop branded console carrying bag filled with, you named it, weed paraphernalia.
Everything was disgusting, including the seller. He was a 200lb 5 foot nothing guy, bald in his mid thirties, dressed like Eminem, a voice like he started smoking in the womb, and both hands wrapped in gauze from, "burns" as he put it. I wanted to tell him he mispronounced "bookies" but I wanted to get out alive. He packed everything in smoke-smelling Coors Lite boxes and I was on my way.
I didn't even check the items, I just drove away. I expected them all to be broken or something. But I unloaded everything, spent over two hours cleaning every corner of every wire and console and removed the "I bang b******" sticker from the top of the dreamcast. The grime on the cords was enough to make me queasy. But it all totally works!
The funny thing now is I bought it all with plans of flipping, but now I'm like, "hmm, I wonder what shenmue and super metroid are like"
I have a problem
