Don't you feel proud of yourself? I hope it wasn't some elementary school kid.

Hmmm a deal is a deal. Heck if he wanted money for it, that was his decision. Even if it was an elementary kid heh heh. I'm guessing it was someone in his school...who probably stole it anyways. Well I'd pay that much for an extra copy.

school = college?
or
school = elementary school?
or
school = junior high school?

If they are elementary school, shame on you, taking advantage of minor >(

If they are junior high school and upper, well, you're lucky and I pity the guy who sold you the Zelda disc!

My school deals:
Midnight Club II for PS2 scratchless with case $ manual - $15
4 x 14" Chrome HubCap Spinners for my '87 Accord - $15
Sold Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 for Dreamcast for $60

My only bad deal:
007: Agent Under Fire for PS2 used without manual - $10, I know, I was probably drunk or something... I can't remember

School is like a physical eBay, one of the prime places to look for cheap stuff.

How'd he decide that $1.60 was the price? I mean why not round up to $2.00 or down to $1.00, why $1.60. Was that all the money you said you had on you or something.

Hell Thats a great deal. Hey its all suplly and demand! if the kid was hungry he can't eat a zelda disc can he. It was a good move for both I guess. Starve to death or play zelda! I think he made the right move! :-)

My lunches have always been $1. The most logical explanation is that about 40-50% of the school is at or below poverty level. Oh well, just means more food for me.

Man, I'm old. Lunch was $.75 when I was in school. Of course, that was the crappy school lunch, we always got Pizza Hut personal pizzas for $2.50.

Damn where did you people go to school? Lunch was much more expensive for me. In middle school it was 2.50 and in high school it could be as much as 4.00 depending on what you got. I was not a cheapass luncher.

I agree with the "school is physical ebay" comment. I was always melching, dealing, and swapping with anyone who had anything cool. A friend of mine gave me a five foot cardboard display from the metal gear VR missions game for nothing. He even drove it to my house. Too bad its probably in a landfill somewhere now. It got crushed the last time I moved.

Pretty nice... But I wonder in a few years how much that game is going to be worth. I'm surprised it's worth $40ish now, what with PS2 and XBox ports.

Its going down rapidly in price. I hope it stays that way since I chewed my copy (its really crappy condition)

My only REALLY good school deal was about a week ago some 10th grader (my age) gave me Suikoden II for lunch money (1.50) best investment ever

Yeah my lunch is actually $2.50 but the reason he decided on $1.60 is cause we wanted ice cream and a donut which is $1.60

I'm gonna be trading in the zelda disc though since I'm getting one from Nintendo

Or should I just have two?

Man those are some awesome deals, 1.60 for zelda and 1.50 for suikoden 2, makes me wish I was still in school. No not really.
