I can't stand that "I'm buying this for my kid" bullshit. ing transparent as glass. I've actually called people out on that shit. One time I had an old come up to me and try to buy a lot of games that I had just purchased from a seller and was about to pay him. He comes up and starts asking how much I was paying and was that he might offer more. I started to argue with him and he eventually said that he was buying for his kids. I straight up said, "that's bullshit and we all know you're trying to buy them to sell on eBay." He then said, "You're starting to piss me off." I was about to get right in his face when the seller just told him that he was gonna sell them to me.Those are the people I hate at the yardsales. The people like this and the people with scanners. They have no interest in the stuff and just want to sell. The old man I mentioned in my previous post shows up the yardsales a few hours early or the day before telling them how his grandkids love Nintendo. When I bought a guys collection of comics and Ninja Turtles figures he showed up complaining the sale didn't start for another 30 min and his grandkinds would've loved those Ninja Turtles.
I don't mind (well I wouldn't say mind, I guess I don't get pissed) when I lose out to someone who looks like they have an interest in the item. The guy with the Portal shirt buying the Batman artbook I wanted doesn't get me like 65 year old man running through the sale buying all video games and the zelders or the two land whales shoulder blocking the entire table as they scan each and every trade paperback and manga to make a pile.
I called that er out and he got mad about it. He had that condescending tone, like he automatically deserved respect because he was older. Scummy piece of shit. I swear these people infuriate me.
Sometimes I wish people would just flat out stop paying premium for games. Just stop these ignorant s from polluting our hobby.
