--- Quote from: FritzWhite on March 05, 2014, 03:02:46 PM ---I try to find deals when I can and I own some nice items for which I'm proud of the price I paid, but if you aren't willing to suck it up and shell out some bucks for a few of the retro titles you really want you could be searching forever and still never find them.
My time isn't worth gold, but after a certain point, it's not worth it to invest tons of hours trying to save a few bucks on some rare game. I love the thrill of the hunt as much as the next guy, but the more games I cross off the list, the harder it is to find what I want.
That's why I rarely move on craigslist deals anymore. Ebay is so convenient. I can find my games in the same position I'm in now. If I'm on craigslist it better damn well be a smoking hot deal for me to actually get up, drive, and then go deal with a stranger. People spend thousands of dollars on stupid paintings and bottles of wine they'll never drink and they're smart for buying it because they're getting something they want. Get and do the things you like and make you happy. We're all going to die anyway. It's stupid not to be happy a bit before you're dead.

agree with you but some guys on ebay are insane with the prices of things, example mario sunshine, i'm searching for that game right now (my wife love that game and im looking to buy it) and it's $30+ some times without shipping on ebay and it's not a rare game to be at that price, others are contra, super c, zelda etc

I know, ebay is a freakin jungle man and it keeps getting worse :'( I did recently manage to snag a copy of Metal Storm for $37, good by ebay standards :)
