I see an ad on craigslist for "new" copies of Lolo 1 2 3, etc. I call and the lady has TONS of amazing sealed NES games. Dragon Warrior 1 2 3 4, Lolo 1 2 3, etc. Well she's asking 8$ each, and I ask her if she can hold them. She tells me shes gotten a few phone calls and doesn't want to hold them. I tell her I can give her 20$ each if she holds them. She then tells me she doesn't care about the money, and I should just come down to check it out. I show up as fast as possible, and when I arrive I notice someone is about to close a deal for all the good stuff for 8$ each. He looks up at me and I recognize him as the deaf collector I've seen before. He takes a look at me smiles, lifts a Dragon Warrior IV CIB and shows me THE FLAP OF THE CELLO and flicks it. I mention I thought they were new, and she tells me she opened them all to make sure everything was inside of them. At that point I realize we both could have just face palmed right there. Nonetheless he buys the now mint CIBs for 8$, and oddly he left some various weird left overs. A Tengen Tetris box and a Mega Man 1 box(with the cello.) Oddly he must have only wanted the contents??? I don't know, but the best part is she STILL TRIED TO CHARGE ME 20$ EACH! She tells me the money doesn't matter, I watch him buy the good stuff for 8$ each, and then she tries to charge me 20$ for what she knows is just an empty box. In the end I landed up buying a very small amount of stuff for about 30$, which lands up including the boxes.
Luckily I really don't have any other good stories like this, but man I won't ever forget that day.
I am not really an advocate for Bitch Slappin' old ladies but I would have made an exception over that situation, that was painful to read.
