It's alright if you do that, but man, don't punish yourself. Thank stores that sell games at good prices by buying from them.

I thank Goodwill for selling some stuff at good prices by buying from them. It's simple and we all come out ahead. Money's too scarce for me to be going on wasteful philanthropic endeavors to "thank" folks for supporting "dead" systems

...I guess I'm saying I play by the IKSS rule (I Keep Spendthrifty, Stupid), and that's the way it should be ;)
