Four of those complete aren't easy to come by, and a CIB Bonk 3 is getting up there in price, it was just some local guy, five mint games like that can't compare to nearly $200 for a Blazing Lazers. XD

All of those games have always been available to buy online, unless you meant Bonk 3 CD.

Yeah, bit I don't buy online, I scope out deals in the wild, besides my Turbo Duo, and besides my first big initial spending spree with the Bonk three and stuff, I wouldn't have a collection my size without getting decent deals for most stuff I come across, I mean we'd all love to go to a garage sale and find a magical chase for five bucks but it isn't gonna happen, I have a wiping problem.

One long sentence with eleven commas..... yep, you're retarded.

I never stated it was a sweet deal..... if a games going for seventy on eBay, and I buy one for fifty, I'll still have f*ckers like you going on about how retarded I was because you searched for months and got it five bucks cheaper.

You're essentially saying that you bought those games at well under the average going rate and that it'd take months to save a mere five dollars, so how is that not a 'sweet deal'?  You can keep your head in the sand and believe that it was a great deal and we'll continue in our knowledge that you could've done quite better by not being an insta-collector moron.

Also, try not being a hypocrite.  Don't come in here and opine about overpriced wares after pissing and moaning about other's pricing comments as being 'unhelpful and coming from grumpy old f*cks that care more about my money than I do'.

So what you meant was, everyone can find BlaZing LaZers locally and at a low price and you mistook that eBay listing for craigslist?

I never once said in my first purchase it was well under the going rate, you're putting words in my mouth lol.
I use commas because I'm typing on q cellphone and hate using this f*cking things aha.
I've admitted several times the prices on my first pick up could have been better had I waited and scoped out deals for awhile lol, I don't understand the point you're trying to get across lol.

They are basically saying to be patient while avoiding traps set by eBay sellers to lure in future insta-collectors. Even well intentioned gamers can add to the problem if they don't wait and do some research.

The point is, why are you asking "if people actually do this?" You know that there are people who do.

Why not just make a comment like "It's unfortunate that a$$hole resellers take advantage of the uninformed and impatient. If only people would learn about the items they somehow feel that they must have immediately(!) instead of just throwing money at these guys and giving them a reason to do this".

I missed this entire conversation you had going on, so this reply seemed pretty damn off-the-wall at first glance...
