In Collecting

ok so i have been trying to find dodge ball for like 1 year or so and i finally find it on ebay for like 15 dollars plus SH. i was stoked. then the following day i go to the flea market and find it for 4 dollars. bummer uh. And i go to that flea market 2 times a month man i was bummed but now i have 2 copies yea

Well...my brother a really long time ago had Castlevania II, but he said he sold it, so I bought another copy, but then just a while ago, my found my brothers copy in my (use to be his) room.

something like that happened to me a few years ago. i saw a copy of Contra at GameStop (back when they still had NES Games) for $15. i was pretty excited as i wnated the game for awhile. so i bought it. a few weeks later a friend from school gave me all of his NES Games FOR FREE.... Contra was in the stack

but it evened out, i later traded the extra copy of Contra for Castlevania III

I had that often in Japan.
I searched for games, found them, bought them... and in the next store found them again, but cheaper.
That's life. As long as you got what you want it's ok I think.

I usually check every shop before buying a game. But, if I want an older game, only one shop sells them, so I don't have much choice (apart from using Ebay)

yup, shining force II, got several copies, guess it just means everything comes eventually.

I remember this hapening more than once, but the only occasion I remember is with Ninja Gaiden III. So I've wanted the game for a while, and finally decide to splurge on ebay. What do I get? A very crappy condition game with very beat up contacts. I thought ok at least it works so I can play it. Not even a month later I come across a complete one for about the same price, and the cart is mint. I sorta just go

That probably happens to me about half of the time I buy a game, even though I shop around looking for the lowest price within the next week or so Ill find somewhere that has it cheaper. Like manuel said "That's life" and you cant do anything about it.

Wow that sounds cool!! Post a picture of it.

man i would love to see one of those in my travels man you are one lucky SOB
