I went out yard saling today (AS I do every week), and as usual, had a helluva time finding video games for sale. Last place we stopped was at this lady at the apartment complex where the girlfriend's mother is the landlady... and we figured she wouldnt have any video-ghame related stuff for sale. We looked around and whatnot, and this real old lady goes and opens this box and says "Oh, what kind of system is this???" and the seller person said it was the original Nintendo and she wanted 5 bucks (Canadian) for it. I kinda moved towards it and took a peek in the box and saw the best yard saling find I would have ever had.... There was the original control deck, and the usual crap that goes along with it, The U-Force, NES Satellite, about 30 or so games, and the Aladin Deck enhancer.
My hear t was a pumping, and I wanted it badly (its hard to find video games around here...) and then the old lady pikced up the box and said "I'll let my 5-year old play this one, I think he is getting tired of his PS2"
I was pissed.... I wanted it, it was dirt cheap, in minty fresh condition, and some little sloppy kid is gonna muck it all up whne it could have come home with me and been taken care of!!!
Just needed to get that rant out.... and to open this up for all to retell their worst Yard Saling/Flea Market/Whatever else story where you did not purposely let a good deal slip, but were robbed right before your eyes.
I'm going upstairs to sulk now
