Action 52

Got home from work the other day and thought I'd take a look on the buy and sell. First ad that pops up is a NES lot with 2 systems (one with box) and a pile of games. Price $350... Scan through the picture of the games and one catches my eye. Pick up the phone and ask how much per game and they respond $20 each. Race down there and happen to be the first person their with 2 other guys on their way. Grab the Action 52, megaman's, Final Fanasty and a couple others. They end up selling me each game for $10. One of my better finds of late.

    I wonder if the other guys will post in the losers weepers thread? Congrats on that score! Wish people listed stuff like that here. Only "rare" games like Mario 2 in my area. :/

    I bought mine in Halifax for about $15. Was a pretty good deal. Sold it on ebay almost right away for around 100ish.

    We'll here's a first

    Haven't checked my voice mail in the last week or so. Turns out the guy who I bought the action 52 off of, called and left a voice mail. Somthing about how he found out what it is worth and he knows I put it on ebay (which is untrue). Funny stuff.

    If you talked him down from $20 to $10 that would be fairly messed up, but from what I see you just gave them what they asked for. Sure it sucks for him, but perhaps he should have looked it up first. Lesson learned. I'd love to try out that hot turd one day but I'm not paying that much cash for something that god awful.
