They're everywhere! It's like the Bugs Bunny cartoon where Bugs spill those alien seeds into and open sewer and all the alien attenaes start popping up and flooding the earth.

Whenever I go to a thrift store I can always count on there being at least one Genesis. Even the most common of systems (NES, SNES, N64, Playstation) don't pop up that often, but there are always Genesises (Genesisi? Stupid plurals.) Usually it is the Genesis 2, but even the original Genesis is pretty darn common (Genesis 3, on the other hand, I have not yet seen.)

So what's the deal? How can there be so many people who want to get rid of their Genesis? Did Sega produce massive quanities of this system? Eventually I would think everyone who didn't want one would have dumped theirs and there would be no more supply to keep the thrift stores stocked. Yet week in and week out, I see new supplies of Genesis filling the shelves.

Anybody have any thoughts or theories? Anybody care?
