I actually cringed reading this.

Ozzy_98:
The seller, maybe he has a tooma.

Or a tomba. That was a neat game.

Most times that I go into a pawn shop to browse for old games I'm amazed at how goddamn dumb the regulars are.

I'll be silently going through boxes of old games as other customers come into the store to try selling whatever they have for just a few pennies so that they can buy a case of cheap shit beer. It's incredible how terrible some people are with managing their own money.

You totally nailed it. The mismanagement of money is a cause of so much agony in this world. Luckily I learned early in life, unfortunately on my own, how to manage money when it comes to needs and wants.

I think that I'm smarter with my money for seeing how badly my parents were with theirs. As a kid, my family always survived paycheck to paycheck. By time payday rolled around they had already spent their earnings. Sure, payday was a good day. But then there was 5-6 days of famine (not that we literally starved) before another paycheck. That's the story of my life, learning how to live life from watching other people fuck up their's.

Anyways, that's part of the reason I collect old games too. My mom busted her ass to provide me with a few games she could afford, but there was obviously a lot that I wanted and never got. Problem now solved. ::)
