WylrPnufh Lady Psycho Sexy WylrPnufh I'm sure you all know the story by now...
I had a friend growing up, and once upon a time, He lent me Pokemon Red. Well, then I lost it. And every time we saw eachother, up until... ~17 years old, he would say "Hey, got my Pokemon Red?" It became a long running joke.. Well, he passed away last Christmas, and since then, I've been adamant to, on his birthday, bring a copy of Pokemon Red to his grave.
I just found someone online, who's meeting me at Target in an hour to bring me the game.
I don't think I've ever been happier about a broken Game Boy game.
biggrin That's sad, hilarious, and awe-inspiring at the same time. It's like merry melancholawesomeness.
Hopefully the gravekeepers understand the gesture and don't remove it I think my favorite thing about it, was when we were 14 and got arrested (Bullshit Tresspassing stuff) He turned to me in the 'holding cell' and said "This wouldn't have happened if you'd brought Pokemon Red"
Even if it does get removed, depending on your beliefs, he'd know, and also, I'd feel like I did a good thing.My beliefs are a little... complex. sweatdrop But I get what you mean. You're returning that game whether he can play it or not.
Best story ever, though. Makes me wonder what happened to the one you lost. Maybe it'll turn up in a used game store someday and it'll have a file named BEN and someone's experience with that cartridge will haunt them for the rest of their life.

Vocaloid is bad for me. Everytime I stumble across a song I like, there are so many other cool songs in the youtube sidebar that it takes a hell lot of time to listen to all of them sweatdrop

I ******** hate when people outbid you by 1g and win.
There needs to be a rule where you have to outbid someone by like 50% of what they outbid the last person by, at least.

I do believe there's an option about how much more you need to bid in order for your bid to be valid if you're the seller, yes? But I do hate that too. I also hate snipers, they're the worst when it comes to bidding wars.

I also hate snipers, they're the worst when it comes to bidding wars. Sometimes. Most people don't understand the whole marketplace process though so they just don't bother filling out the 'bid increment' section. I've seen people host auctions with no bid increment but then complain in their shop front about people outbidding their friends by 1g and how they don't want that. lol

I think the minimum bid increment should be at least the 2% tax that you would suffer by selling. I mean come on XD
