Retro: Well as he puts it and I agree with him, in a good 50-60+ mile radius he's the one oasis in all the desert. So if people are too fucking lazy to hit the swap meet, craigslist and drive(plus get lucky first), or use ebay to their advantage he is it. Most his stuff is 5-10 over priced going against ebay values of same quality materials, but some is outrageous. He basically says he does it because people will pay it, and because he's freaked if he kept doing stuff downright cheap he'll get burned when the fad wears off and the prices crash which he's wishing would happen. Most his games a pre-Wii/yobo era a few years back was just $5 straight(tax included in that) and a few were $10 and over but it was the known stuff like the Dragon Warriors, Mega Mans, etc.
He's a friend so I'll get a 'cheap' one from him like once a month to support him while hanging out. He does me well in return when I take crap in as he'll give me over what his book value is a bit and he never charges me tax either which is over 9% in our area now.
enslaved, believe it or not I got PB on a whim as I recalled seeing some joke about it some month ago if that where it looks like Arnie as the title screen dude. I remembered it looked like a neat platformer with a boomerang attack so I figured why not and it is pretty fun. I was pretty jazzed getting Karnov as I used to pound an arcade unit of that some, and Ninja Gaiden at 2.50 was a happy moment too. Also I knew that 2in1 sports game was Technos and the Soccer title is KUNIO and it's basically what that new 3D DS Soccer Hooligans game is, just the original version so that's fun kicking people asses into the dirt to steal the ball as they spaz out.
