I paid $5 for a Steam Controller when Steam was clearancing them out. Wait, what? $5 for that? Wish I had known. I don't mind using a usb controller and mapping it, not a big deal, but I've heard good things about the Steam controller.

It’s pretty solid, I would recommend it for couch play and get the dock for the switch, that’s what I did

got this for $40. Keep in mind it's in Canadian, didn't take long on a single bus ride and than back and fare. All in all, I wanted to try getting into my ps3. Just a bit, and thought diablo, twisted metal, big planet karting, rayman origins and shadow of mordor I'll potentially try. Little Big Planet 1 and Twisted Metal and prob another game are prob retail or current value now to what I paid. Not stellar by any means. So all in all, I prob won't keep twisted metal for too long. My mother was like oh no not diablo, I guess she didn't like some dreams I had at another time, she's like play nicer games, shadow of mordor, prob don't have the patience for. Will prob still keep diablo, big planet karting and rayman origins around for a while.

I found an European Steam disc for Rollercoaster Tycoon World Deluxe at the Amazon consignment store for $2. And the code worked!
Unfortunately, that also means I now own Rollercoaster Tycoon World Deluxe. Augh

Also it wasn't the only thing I bought. I also got a mini subwoofer amp for a buddy, a USB hard drive adapter... and a sealed Coraline 4K Steelbook. But the steelbook was... not exactly mint.

I picked this up thinking "I can just find the normal case art and use that, then give away the case for someone to display", but then I realized... the discs have different art than the normal 4K release. Augh. At least they're fine.

I found Star Wars Episode I Racer
at a new game shop today. $10, clean label, complete with with battery cover. But I can't justify spending nearly $30 altogether on my SWEIR campaign just for the sake of a label and battery cover.
But on the bright side, I did score a Wii copy of Spy Fox in "Dry Cereal" for $6. If my bro ever lets my nieces play the Wii I so generously gifted his family in 2019, they'll love it.

Feels fishy but if someone actually got that deal that's wild. Would think even if it was legit to begin with what happens is they get hammered with messages and realize something is up.

Yeah. I’ve seen listings like that, and then the seller basically says that was just to get attention and then lists individual prices for each game that are much higher.

I've ran into that before. Back when CL was more popular there used to be a lot of just straight up time wasters as well. The worst is when they would set up a meeting knowing they aren't going to show up. I ended up with a rule that if someone wasn't going to talk on the phone I wouldn't proceed. Cut a lot of the bs. The move to facebook made that not necessary. Probably because people have their name attached to it. I've not got the ball rolling with anyone local on there and had something not work out yet. I do get people from far away that message me about shipping my listings despite me having things set to pick-up only. I really only list stuff there that isn't worth shipping. Speakers, weight bench, tv stuff like that.

I’ve been talking with the seller after the fact and seems legit, he has other things he’s getting rid of like a PS4, a gaming vest, to a microwave, and bbq pit. He said yes he did get hammered with messages last night and this morning but he believes in first come first served and sold to the first who asked, I was the second
I asked if he wanted to know why he got so many messages this morning and when he said yes I showed him the value of Xenosaga III & .Hack Quarantine and he about flipped his lid but resolved himself to the fact that he gave someone a great deal

Today, I was willing to send $11 for: Barney Under the Sea PC Game. Was asking $4 and at most, lettermail would be $3.60 plus envelope, but I never know how much a single is at these places lol. He said $5 for shipping. Good deal, seller was selling a lot, and I knew barney vhs tapes, some are rare, no real sales if I can recollect, but there was a 30-and odd uk release, and 60-something us release. Pretty sure it's the latter and someone may take it if there is someone with a higher price. No idea lol.
Sold 3 games, little big planets, for $20, even though I later realized I wrote $25 firm. All good, got some games to try gaming at some interval or later, and some to sell. I don't think I sold a ps3 game locally yet. Is the value of most 3 for $10 now? lol. $5 per ain't bang for your buck? lol

Seems I might have missed out on a lot. I was initially going to pay the $500 he wanted, thinking the first picture would leave to more gems in the process. He mentioned there's probably close or around 1000 pieces. Lotsa software I'd have to bundle, 16 big boxes full, and not the square ones. He did have 5 No One Lives Forever in box, 1 same game but GOTY edition, No one Lives forever 2, and 2 Die Hard Trilogy in box games. That's what made me jump on it. But after seeing all the software, german language, french language, learn english, there were a few alright software but lotsa junk. He did mention lotsa jewel case games new and sealed, but when he laid them out, it seemed they were all card or something less than quality games. And games in small boxes or dvd cases, some were sealed, but like, Cake Mania 3 Deluxe or something lol. I did today say, $400, than $420, than said $450 but no more, the work scares me. I think he wants to do something else with it now after me not going through, but starting to pitch for more gas, and she was like, $50. $550, and No One Lives Forver, all of them could have averaged to $100 on ebay or more, $80 profit a piece, that would have been my money. But I like good looking lots, and don't feel like overhauling myself for a week and a half with junk, so kinda glad I changed my mind. I would have overwhelmed myself lol

Usually I get good vibes from something when I make a deal. Today, sent $20, wasn't even an AMAZING deal, just a deal, that I thought I wanted. Thought with shipping it'd be $30 since all the games were priced at $10. I sent the money, sent the address...after my money went in, she didn't reply. She said the shipping would be $10, again, like a previous time, I thought shipping was low. Told me to send to a university email, maybe university kids don't have money, and this is what they do for beer money - make a page with lots of cheap items, some items are standout deals, and than collect and disappear. Ha ha, nah, what world is this. Hopefully she sends, but again, said tomorrow, there's now. I tend to believe people are honest unless they need something and have no way of getting to it, than they find other ways. I dunno what to think, def think shipping won't be that cheap, was too early in the morning for me, but there's no reason to assume, rather than just get some flags you don't like in terms of making deals. No response after money deposited - might be a grab and go lol. Meh, if that's the case, it's a hard lesson for me to be wiser and smarter with my money, not start spending here and there when I have some lol

Hmmm...now looking at her page, she's got lots of friends, maybe not a scammer. I would feel better if she replied, or somehow felt the full price I paid would be the cost of shipping...no idea lol
Smoked some better weed, feel better. Don't sweat the small things, but sometimes you like to feel content, and every trade involving shipping that's not via a mediator, is always something of a rush/buzz/ride beforehand. Gotta feel it, but I guess I went to cancel the etransfer, and it was taken, and there was a question she had to input, as it wasn't inputted, and no, thanks got it, will send tomorrow, take care....lol. I dunno

Lol, maybe I get too high. I like and trust people, but somehow the $10 shipping rate didn't make sense. Today she sent a tracking number, saying label created. I take it if label is created, she paid for it. Also noticed a 50% off shipping for new business for 12 months.
That may explain it. I'm back to loving ppl. Why relinquish into old mindsets, probably due to your own ineptness when in this world, there are good people who are trying to clear some space and move ahead like everyone else. Meh, there's always something that may go wrong. Seems by buying deals, with a negative mindset, it could be like minesweeping. Bad experience with London, by a student, but should have realized with that many friends, if I wrote that bs on her page, she wouldn't need that. Just always feel better with feedback, but I actually went to cancel the etransfer as it was sent, but she accepted, cuz I was like, the shipping...ok than. Back to the drawing board and hopefully waiting for 2 packages.
