A few decent Thursday Hauls! (Almost Loser's Weepers!)
So there was this guy selling some pretty decent games about an hour and a half south of me. He had a ton of CiBs on his Craigslist ad, but no price in which he wanted them with only 2-3 pictures of the entire lot taken from a distance so you couldn't tell what games were what. I finally get him to call me and he turned out to be kind of a tool. He wouldn't even be bothered to walk over to the lot and read aloud to me what the games were, then rambled on and on about how wasn't going to come down on a (ridiculous) price for everything.
It was a nice lot but if they guy wasn't going to come down on his price or even read out a list of what he had to me if I was willing to drive an hour to come meet him, it didn't sound like it was going to work out. Rather than let that get me down, however, I took the opprotunity of having driven 20 minutes towards him to visit some Pawn Shops I normally don't get a chance to get to. Here's what I found:
Not exactly the five hundred dollar mega-haul that I was possibly going to pick up. But hey, lemonade into lemons! Made the day a little bit brighter.

It's tough sometimes to walk away from those sketchy deals, cuz maybe he had some real gems, but gotta go with your gut.
